My basset hound Huckleberry had been very sick these past few days and after refusing to eat and drinking very little water I ended up taking him to the ER vet in alliance. It turned out he had coccidia. We believe he’s had it since we got him and it finally caught up to him. Even with medical intervention he did not have a very strong chance of survival. So unfortunately I had to make the extremely difficult decision to have him euthanized. I’m heartbroken and will miss him deeply but I’m glad he is no longer suffering.

RIP my sweet Huckleberry❤️

This is my new dog Frankenstein. I was curious about basset hound training tips, potty training tips, and information on food intake. I did research before getting him but I think I’ve been giving him too much food because he’s been having a bit of diarrhea plus he threw up last night. He’s only been here for two days so I know part of it is probably due to stress, but I still want to make it as easy as possible for him to ease into life here. I saw online that basset hounds should eat two cups of food per day and was curious if that has been working for you guys and how many treats do you give per day while training? Also, is it recommended you get a slow feeder for them because he eats his food incredibly fast so I’m worried that’s also a factor. I just am a very anxious person especially when it comes to my pet friends! Sorry if it seems like too much and thank you for your time.
