I have a german shepherd dog since he was 2 months and now is 17 months. Last month went to the vet for check up routine. She said he is underweight. 21kg for his age was not satisfactory. prescribed some vitamins. He always looks well and is running and jumping in the yard almost all day long. I hate to lock it in his small house, because he is friend of the kids around and I love to see him playing free. Any suggestion to bring him to 30kg as suggested by the vet? Is it the right weight?
38w2d my German shepherd,has been getting more and more attached to me he will follow me around every where I go in the house and sleep next to me to matter where I am. Im worried if he is going to hurt the baby because hes so attached to me or is he going to just be very protective around the baby? Any one else have any problems with there dogs ?
I have a 3 year old male German Shepherd who is very active. We take him swimming 4 times a week and a walk for an hour per day. He has been perfectly healthy. Suddenly he is limping off his right hind leg. There are no cuts,swelling,etc...Just a pretty bad limp for the past 2 days. This morning, it looks as though it has worsened. Can anyone out there give me some type of prognosis as to what this may be ?
I have a 11 month old german shepherd whos left ear was fine until he started teething now it is still down it goes up and down while I take him on walks will up come back up on its own.

My 10 year old german shepherd started limping. The vet assumed because of her age that she has arthritis and prescribed Rimadyl. It didn't help plus I have read bad things about what this drug can do to a dog. I was petting her the yesterday and noticed that on one side it feels as if two bones are there and maybe come apart. It does not feel this way on the other side.
My german shepherd is 11 months old. She started not eating 3 days ago. All she does is drink water and then vomit it back up. She is not going #2 either. Someone told me to give her a de-worming medicine so I did but still not getting better. I cant afford to take her to the vet. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with her.
I just adopted a 3year old German shepherd, and I'm calling vet in morning but until then can someone tell me what they think? In the 24 hrs I've had her I noticed she's very tired,she's slept A LOT! She's not eating but is drinking. She seams to get worn out easy,she's breathing heavily. When sleeping she breaths normal. She's making a sound ever so often like she's trying to clear her throat??

Anyway, your worst enemy is the weight issue so you really need to get the weight off with a weight management food, the green bean diet, etc and maintain it. The dog still needs moderate exercise to maintain muscle tone and strength. Try to avoid stairs, jumping, etc. aquatic therapy is great if you have a pool or facility near you for rehab (hard to find). As Ellen said, Glucosamine is good but it may take 4-6 weeks to see any benefits. Check with your Vet on the dose.

How have you ladies introduced your fur baby to your newborn baby? I have 2 yr old German Shepherd and she's never been agressive. I'm just wondering if there's something I should do to prepare her.
In the meantime, you might try contacting the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. It is the official breed club connected with the AKC in the US. Check out their web site, as there is a wealth of information on breed standards, health and genetics that would be useful for any breeder.

I have a 10 year old German Shepherd. A couple weeks ago we also had a pomeranian. They didn't get along very well but he dealt with him. We had the pomeranian for about 4 years when he suddenly got out of the house at night and never came back. He was very old and we think he left to die. This happened probably 2-3 weeks ago. Around 1-2 weeks ago my German Shepherd stop eating. He would go every now and then to eat some on his dry food. He soon left it there for a couple days.
I just rescued a new puppy, he's a 3 month old part white german shepherd part husky (we think). I know this is probably nothing so I feel silly taking him to the vet for it, however I am a little concerned. He seems to hiccup constantly, literally every few hours. I've only had him for a few days and he's already had the first two set of boosters. We are supposed to take him next week for the next set.
I have a 8 year old German Shepard that we adopted and she started limping with her front right leg. It looks like it might be a little swollen ( at the joint above the paw), but not soar to touch. The limping is not severe, but should I wait to see if it goes away and maybe it is just a sprang? Is there a time frame that an owner should wait to see if it is minor before taking it to the vet?
