Please let us know how the pooch is doing.

Canines do not get the flu. Besides the flu is not contracted by "walking in the cold" anyway. If a dog has flu like symptoms there is something wrong. Could be heart related and the cold aggravated the condition. Could be a number of things. Bottom line is the dog needs to seen by a vet. Now, if the pooch is OK by tomorrow I would still talk to the vet. Remember dogs are lower to the ground and get the cold from the ground more quickly than we feel it. They also get cold quickly through their paws. The last two days I would not let my pooch outside. He used his pee pads. he weighs a mere 15lbs and I felt it was too dangerously cold for him. Just like on super hot days it is so uncomfortable for a dog to walk on the street, people forget how hot the concrete gets. I would put a towel in the dryer and warm it up and put that on the pooch.

I cannot copy and paste it. I tried several times. Go to the site benadrylfordogs.com. Go to the dosing info. If you cannot find it PM me and I will tell you. Dosage depends on weight. Also, please consider looking into another food. I speak from experience. The vets told me to use the one meat/one grain food.  Did not work. After a year of struggling with what the vets told me to do I took matters into my hands. Dogs have a hard time dealing with the GMOs. the GMO molecular structure cannot be tolerated by dogs or humans. This is why we are see ing such a high incidence of Celiac, IBS, Colitis etc.The ONLY food my little guy can eat is Orijen. Kathy at DuBois Feeds has it. If she is out of it she can order it. It can also be ordered on Amazon. Finally, make sure your pooch gets a bath with a very good moisturizing shampoo every two weeks, Sooner and it is too much, longer and they start to scratch again. Also, do not hesitate to do a round of Prednisone before you start this new therapy cocktail. Pred will stop the flare and get your pooch back to his baseline. About twice a year my little guy has a flare and Pred needs to given to get it stopped. Anymore questions PM me. I know this will work. I have been there. My guy use to scratch, itch, lick so much when he dootied long strands of hair came out too. Once, he even had hair wrapped around his teeth like a retainer....all from licking too much. Today he is fine. He is not red. He does not scratch. He does not lick. He is a happy boy.

OK now they have taken over my recliner, things will never be the same!!

Not out of hand at all. Just you taking care of God's angels disguised as dogs. Now, where do you live and what time do you go to sleep? Dogs may end up missing...lol
 
 
P.S. not sure "dodgeman" is quite perfect for you now. That is the equivalent of a former state trooper I knew, that was very ripped, walking 2 standard froo froo poodles.

When you decide the time is right you will want to explain it to them in age appropriate ways. The two year old will not understand it as well as the eight year old. rainbowbridge.com offers the opportunity to create a memorial page and upload photos. I think involving the 8 year old with that project would be great. He/She would not have the attention span to do the whole process but they can chose a photo and see other dogs who crossed over to the rainbow bridge. Again, all in age appropriateness. Also, they will take their cues from you as to how to feel. While it is okay to be somber for awhile, it is also okay to be accepting that they are playing, happy and healthy until we see them again.

Pets will hide when they are getting ready to pass away. This is an instinct from the pack as not bring vulnerability to the pack in the wild. I think it is also time to put a dog down when you muster enough selflessness to say, "I will see you on Rainbow Bridge someday but right now I love you enough to let you go."
