The people that "rescue the dogs " from Romania and they bring to countries like UK and Netherlands are pricks,they did this to my 8 puppy dogs that my female dog had born. I was feeding them everyday to grow up until I can give them to nice families and those pricks just came to my home garden while I wasn't at home and stole almost all puppys to bring them to the UK or something. The dogs are traumatized this way and they just want to come back. Fortunately 3 dogs were left and I kept them.Hi,
Hoping someone here could help. I adopted a dog last August, She was 'rescued' from Romania and bought to the UK (in not very nice conditions I have since learned) where she was spaded and spent a few weeks in a rehoming centre. On reflection, I can see this was possibly unethical and she has gone through a whole lot of stress (unbeknown to me before adopting or doing any research). She is understandably a reactive dog and seemingly very high stress, I have put her on a 'peaty' style diet (fruit, gelatine dog food, calcium). Can anyone recommend some things that are safe for her that might help bring down the cortisol levels. I think the fact she was spaded has a lot to do with this too (could this be causing a major hormone imbalance? and if so what can I do to mitigate this? Progesterone?).
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
