When we were at the vets last week we explained about the eating slugs, and they confirmed that the worming he was given a few days prior covers lungworm.
Their advice, just try and stop him from eating them.
So a common scenario.... 10 minutes ago... he’s by the back door, scratching. Ok, good boy... he wants out for the toilet.
Me and my wife both go out with him, both with torches equipped...and within around 5 seconds.. he’s found a slug, and has chewed and swallowed it.
Then we bring him in, and a few minutes later, he’s peed everywhere in the house.
Just an impossible situation.
With regards to feeding, I’ll be honest and admit, it’s somewhat variable. He will have food around 6/7am, then around lunchtime, and then at 5/6pm.
He will have dry food, with a little wet in it, or sometimes just dry.
Treats vary... sometimes now and again, sometimes in a kong.
So yes, I’ll hold my hands up and say that’s something I really need to improve on. Getting him on a really good routine with food.
I had heard to feed puppies only twice a day, but 6am when he’s up, and then say 5pm... that doesn’t seem much?
He has his final injections Tuesday, so we shall ask the vet about the black spots, see what they say.
Thank you for replying, and for your help. It’s very much appreciated.
