[Dailydrool] New Puppy's chewing and Chloe

[Bassetmomof2 at aol.com]

We had the puppy experience nearly 3 years ago when we got Freddie - aka  
JAWS.  He was a chewer a butt biter (mine, of course) and overall little  
stinker.  My husband would come home and find me in tears with awful  bruises on my 
rear and legs from the nips.  Obviously Freddie was removed  from his Mamma way 
to early and didn't learn the proper social graces.  Now  of course, he is an 
angel and the "best puppy in the whole world".
 
We used nyla bones for chewing.  They have different  flavors.  He loved 
them.  Always supervise chewing.  They also  have a freezable nyla bone for 
teething puppies - it worked well.   We used the Behavior NO chewing spray - think 
it was one of those Nautral  products - available at Petsmart.  Worked wonders, 
even on our antique  trunk - he never went after it again after spray - and 
there's no stain from  it.  I recommend lots of nyla bones and other toys - 
crate training for  when you're not at home - its safer for your puppy to know 
they're safe in a  crate and not chewing the electric cords - lots of walkies 
and training.   Also never leave collars or toys with your baby in the crate.  
They can  choke or strangle if they get caught.
 
Now for Miss Chloe's pain.  Freddie and Ellie had lumps removed  yesterday 
and within a couple hours Freddie was in visible pain.  I called  the vet and 
since we had Rimadyl in the house from Ellie's shoulder pain we were  advised to 
use that for a couple days.  It totally worked and took the edge  off.  
Freddie stopped the ferocious licking and felt a lot better.   I'd definitely call 
the vet for more pain management for poor Miss Chloe.   Sending healing 
droolies her way.
 
Helene, Freddie and Ellie
