[nagdu] Krokus is OK

[Deanna Lewis]

Tracy,
Glad to hear he is doing better and resting it off. 
I've not really had problems with Mambo picking up food off the floor, until recently. I think he is trying to test me. But, he does like to grab mulch when I take him out to relieve at my apartment complex. Not in the actual area I relieve him, but on the walk to the area. I keep him on a very short leash, and he is getting better about not snatching it up. 
Best of luck to you and Krokus!
Deanna

The vet discharged Krokus last night around 7:00.  He said Krokus will bee sleepy for a day or 2 and shouldn't work, (no driving or operating heavy equipment).  He was still a bit wobbly last night, but mainly really tired.
So he's having a nice rest.

 

Now I have to figure out how to teach the young idiot not to try to eat everything he sees.  I'll call TSE and see if they have any ideas, which they haven't really so far.  I may have to get a basket muzzle.  I'm not too happy about that.  The GL works OK when we're walking, but I'm pretty sure he picked up the marijuana in the street where I took him to relieve before going into my office.  When he's sniffing around for a spot to pee, the GL doesn't work so well.

 

I have tried putting food on the ground where I know where it is and correcting him for going for it.  He ignores it fine for a bit, then grabs it like lightning just when I think he's being good.  He did the same when the trainer was here to work on it, and she couldn't stop him, either.  I'd welcome any better ideas.

Before I switched to TSE, I never thought I'd use a pinch collar or a basket muzzle.  Think again, Grasshopper.

Tracy
