    My dog is an hienz 57, cross between a labrode & Collie.
    Hi,

    My dog is nearly 14, she's been off her food 4 nearly a week now; we've tried everything from changing her food day 2 day. We've even tried giving her pasta wiv tuna or rice wiv cornbeef and so on. She won't even av any treats we give her, nothing we try her wiv is working. She's bringing up green bile & she has a wired smell about her, could she be giving up on life? We've just lost a cat, someone took her from us; could this be making her depressed?

    Wot can I do?

    Please help.

    Love Helen x

    Her aged body may be shutting down, or she may have picked up a bug. If it was my almost 14 year old Lab, I would have the vet examine her just like I did 2 years ago when she quit eating. We walk a mile or 2 every day, with swims a couple times a week. It may be the end, or she could have a few more good years. Only the vet can say.

Cross Breed Dog [ 0 Answers ]

Inbreeding brings out recessive traits. Closely related dogs are more likely to have the same recessive problems. I have heard of deliberately breeding siblings to see if there are problems. If that doesn't produce problems, then likely there won't be problems breeding to other dogs. So the...
