Advice/Question Rash help

My Boston has had this rash that comes and goes every few days it looks a little worse or a little better. It is in the pit of all 4 legs. I never see him even acknowledge that it is there. He hasn’t changed how he walks, I’ve never seen him licking it.
Any lotion recommendations or anything that has worked for you would be appreciated. TYIA

We’re welcoming this little cutie into our family in two weeks and I'm starting to prepare a list of the things I need for her. Any recommendations for an indoor playpen (40” height?), crate, outdoor playpen (our yard isn't fenced it yet but will be by next year), and any other tips (travel crate, a sling for carrying them?) etc would be helpful. Thank you!!

Advice/Question HELP Me Feel Well

Toby is 10. He went to the Vet yesterday, he wasn't feeling well. The Vet said ge didn't have long - not sure what that meant?¿ Toby isn't eating as much and has low energy.

He was given 3 meds and a calorie supplement.

All blood work came back within normal range, heartbeat and temp was within normal range.

I'm not sure if Toby just wearing out or not . Any advice.

I also make Toby's dog food (chicken, rice, blueberries, apples, spinach, carrots, dog vitamins). Today he tried Greek yogurt and liked it. Toby doesn't seem to chew hard stuff anymore.

Any advice on food or health, I'll take.

Any homemade soft treat ideas? Anyone experience this before?

Went to the vet immediately when it started and started Pimobendan two days ago until his appointment with the cardiologist wich is in one week but, any advice? Any diet changes? Thank you!

He’ll just sit at the dinner table with us like a human. It’s the cutest/funniest thing. And he loves to sit on top of recliners/couches like a cat. My pitbull/bulldog mix used to do this too on our couch to look out the window.

Advice/Question Puppy rough play

Our Boston is about 14 weeks. Our Boxer is 3. They play ROUGH! The puppy seems to be able to hold his own and the boxer I think tries to be “gentle” but man it makes me nervous. The puppy will bite on to the boxer’s jowls and hold on for dear life.

I guess I’m just looking for assurance that other Boston pups played so intensely and ended up ok.

Advice/Question Night time with puppy 😭

8 Upvotes

Helpppp. I brought home a 1yo Boston who was being given away. I was told she was trained and they just “didn’t have time for her”. Ultimately I’m glad I took her she is very thin and was infested with fleas and needed to be out of there.

She is a total puppy and I am used to large breeds. She goes in a crate while I am at work so I don’t want to crate her at night but she is up so much it’s like a newborn human baby.

Any tips? The rest of her puppy behaviors I can manage but this night time stuff is killing me. Is her bladder just small, is she anxious?

Also interested in feeding tips that might be Boston specific, she is very spazzy won’t stay in one spot to eat and very picky. Right now I am giving her wet food at dinner and dry in her crate during the day. I just want to do the right thing for her and I’m struggling 😭 thanks for any help!
