As I mentioned from my previous post, I got 魚蛋 a new bowl (DOGIT GO SLOW ANTI-GULPING DISH). It work wonders! He takes his time to finish his food now, going slowly from segments to segments. Definitely prevented him from gulping his food down in seconds.
魚蛋 grew very attached to us. He would look around, checking if we are in line of sight while he have his meals. If he can't see us, he would leave his food and look for us. Unlike the first few weeks whereby he takes his meals as if it was his last meals, ignoring us and also getting very nervous when we get close to him where he starts gulping his food even faster - afraid that we would steal away his food. I guess he got starved or not given as much food when he was at the kennel.
But one problem is solved, a new one arises...
魚蛋 starts to run around the apartment every time he finishes his food which will also cause indigestion. I can only distract him by giving him a toy to chew and kept all the play toys like robe, soft toys etc which will get him to lay down. Sometimes it work, most of the time it doesn't... :(
By the way, 魚蛋 got his third vaccine last Wednesday. He will be able to go out after the 20th this month. Can't wait to bring him out to meet more people and socialize with more dogs.
魚蛋 gained 800 grams from the day we got him. From 1.05kg to 1.8kg+ yet the vet says his weight is still under the benchmark for his breed therefore we can feed him more.
I have let 魚蛋 roam free since 2 days ago around the house when we are asleep or away from home. Gotta let him explore his environment and make sure he learns where to potty when he is allow to roam.
See how much 魚蛋 has grown!
Congrats on yudan's 3rd mth!! Haha may i know how much you paid for him? Am considering to get one too!
ReplyDeleteHi Shantelle, I got him for $1,500.00.
ReplyDeleteThe price varies for different colors, more towards which breed, maltese or poodle etc but around this price range.
