If you want to learn more about feeding your dog raw food than you should read the books:
Give your dog a bone , Ian Billinghurst
Grow your dog with Bones , Ian Billinghurst
The barf diet , Ian Billinghurst
or

Natural Nutrition for Dogs and cats, the ultimate diet, Kymothy R. Schultze.

The last 2 books are relatively small books and easy to read.

If she broke a Canine tooth than you should get her to a dentist-veterinarian as soon as possible!! to seal the Canine so that it won't become inflammated. Dont wait to long otherwise she wil definately loose this one and it wil get inflammated.

If it her baby Canine that this should be removed to prevent hurting her lasting Canine

good luck with your dog.

Hello to everybody and thanks for your comments Judith.

We went to a vet yesterday and repaired the canine. It looks ok, though it is about half the other one's size. With this occasion we also haved her x-rayed! Unfortunately she has HD state 2 to 3..

It seams the discussion about the quality of Crying Wolf offsprings that I saw on this forum was not without reason, I am sorry to say..
We will try to do the best for Krala as we really adore her, but we will not let her breed.

There it is!

Lots of thanks again for all your advice!

It´s quite early, ioana. You should wait another year.

Hi Iona,

I agree with Angelika that it is too soon for the x-rays to make. A good vet should only make x-rays from young dog IF there are problems. And I personally would see that a specialist would make those pictures.

What you can do is give her extra Vit. C , this can help develop her hips and other joints and you should not give her to much excersise. Also she should be a lean dog when growing up.. not to much fat.

You said that you are feeding her raw things, can you tel what you are feeding her exactly ?
I only want to help you.

Good to hear that her Canine is already repaird , she won't look in a mirror and other dogs won't laugh to her that her Canines aren't the same size

csw's repaired tooth lasts almost one or two days...the best thing to do with broken thoot is...do nothing
May be orrible metallic capsule will last longer, but is not so sure and costs too much to try and to install it the doctor must weak the tooth.

Only take care and clean daily the mouth.

[jmvdwiel]

hi Navarre,

I think the only thing that was done is seal the rooth canal, That is very wise to do, because the root canal from a young dog is very wide . You prevent that the Canine rooth canal is getting imflammated and wil cause more problems.

This is something else than Canines from adult dog that become shorter due to biting on stones/benches/tennis balls, in those cases the rooth canal wil naturally become shorter so that an open rooth canal is prevented.

Hello all!

Yes, the vet took out the nerv of the tooth and just shaped it so that she won't hurt her tong with it, it was broken pretty badly. It looks ok now and she is happy again. I could not do nothing, I could see that she was hurting, she would not bite and the nerv was obvious..

About the HD, I'm so glad to see that people are optimistic!! The idea was that we could see that there is something wrong with her back legg, so I decided to take the xray together with the tooth repair, just to avoid another anesthesy.. I am no specialist, but I saw the xray and it is quitte clear unfortunately..

Judith, about the diet : raw chicken meat, raw cow meat, boiled cow organs. Boiled because she gets dyarrhea if she gets them raw.. And everything that we eat she gets to try, she likes fish for instance...

Thanks a lot for your commets, they are most welcome!!

Hi Iona,

If the above is the only thing she is getting than I would definately suggest you to read some more about feeding your dog raw. What I mis is the calcium in the way of raw bones like chicken bones carcasses.

http://k9joy.com/RawFoodForDogs/ this is a book that you can download about feeding your dog raw food, I haven't read it but there are a lot of people that think this is a good book also.

I copy pasted some links from the dutch www.Barfplaats.nl site , so that you can read more about feeding your dog raw.

Hi, does she also get diarrhea when you feed bones with the raw organs? Because the blood in the organs is causing soft stool but is should be compensated for by bones. Raw chicken bones are good, also big bones from cow - but these are mor for fun than part of meal... But this should be in another thread...

It is sorry to read on your problems. I hope breeders will stop to breed dogs with so big problems by puppies. Now i see many only want to hide truth. I see Wolfdog.org people are also in it because removed from database all bad results of Crying wolf dogs and now you see only good one. But i see no good breeders use Crying wolf dogs - only crazy country is france now making more puppies and crossing dysplatic dogs with dysplatic dogs....

No, now you see only the official ones, that was sended together with a scan of the official pappers, proofing the result.
Normally the first result isn't the official yet, it's only for know if is all right with the dog or not, if is all right so people do the official one at right age, that's why is more common find good results than bad.

Dear Lupis
i invite you to write only things you can prove as it is very easy to throw shit on somebody's face but it's much more difficult to clean up.
I have a dysplasic Crying wolf dog (with official results!) and i wouldn't change her for anything else in the world... and she surely jumps, runs, enjoys her life much more than many other CSW in the world.
kennel who's dogs are xrayed and "some" are dysplasic is information.
Some kennels have NO dogs xrayes for for what YOU can be concerned ALL their dogs can be dysplasic.
And, again, no info on WD doesn't mean no info, WD doesn't always have complete information if owners and breeders don't collaborate.
It's a pity because it would be a very useful tool... but as usual politics are much stronger than real love for the breed.

You write breeder make official and not official result and write only good? But I see you removed all bad result Crying wolf dogs and only good are here. You mean breeder send you only official result of good hips and not send bad results and you removed them?

I write not only on Crying wolf but i see more breeders crossing dysplasic parents. You know breeder from france breed female Star Bright. Parents HD-B and HD-E. For you crossing parents HD-B and HD-C like Crying wolf and HD-B and HD-E is ok? I not write dogs are not nice and I like your Laguna but for me such crossing are not ok.

For me ANY dog with Dysplasia should not be used in reproduction, so it makes no sense to speak about Crying wolf or any other Breeder name.
But if you speak about Crying wolf I do not see any mateings between dogs with dysplasia.
HD-C and HD-B are risky but not forbidden and could be tried in extreem cases of Excellent dogs (I wouldn't try but I don't condemn it)
By the way... I don't own Laguna but Lunatica.... and they come from both HDA parents.

No, you don't understand me.
normally everyone makes 2 exams of his dog, one so called pre-exam and the official one, these 2 are made in different ages.
Where I live the pre-examination is made with 18 months, the official result is made with 24 months.
So, the breeder/owner make the pre-exam at 18 months, if the dog is displasic he can castrate the dog and start the treatment or wait for make the official one when the dog have 24 months.
Normally, if the dog is already high displasic at the pre-exam with 18 months, the owner/breeder not do the official one, because have no need.
So, at the database only official results are showed, that's why have more good results than bads, normally people when receive a bad result at the pre-examination don't do the official.

Hi everybody!

It is great to see people interested in this subject. I certainly love my dog and would not change her for any other. And because I love her so much, it makes my heart brake when I see her falling down when she runs or tries to turn. And this is why I am so mad on these irresponsible breeders. They have all the information they need, there is no excuse. Is there nothing we can do to stop these bad crossings??

Hello Ioana,
what you write makes MY heart brake.
The dog you are speaking about is ULKA?
Do you know if Chester and Xenia have HD results?
Unfortunately NOBODY can oblige breeders to breed responsibly.... OWNERS can FORCE them to make quality, to work in the best direction.
If the parents have no HD results, then I would NOT buy a dog from a Breeder knowing that this dog could have some problems.
I'm not blaming you of course, but only by sharing information like this, on this forum, it is possible to reduce risk.
I could make many examples and unfortunately I could hurt many friends.
I can tell you what I did!
I made HD results for my dog, she was dysplasic and I made the results OFFICIAL, so everybody can see.
So, people, if they look for information, they will see that the parents of my dog have made dysplasic dogs...it's not something mathematical unfortunately (dysplasy is not perfectly genetical) but it could help.
Only OWNERS can oblige BREEDERS to work better by NOT BUYING dogs from them.

Chapeuax bas, Massimo, chapeuax bas Mirka, Margo, Przemek, and all, who care to share information concerning their own dogs' health with other breeders and potential owners of CSVs!!!
