Odd Behavior

Guys I need a little advice.

My 4 year old lab started acting strange last night. Panting, whimpering every now and then, every ten minutes or so she would stretch or get up and chase her tail. She would also not leave either my wife or my side. It got to the point that she was up on the bed trying to curl up on the pillows between my wife and I. This is very odd behavior for Maggie.

This morning she eat just like she always does ran and barked when we let her out. But when she came in she started acting odd again.

We made a vet appointment for today. Anybody have any ideas? Sitting at work trying to not to think about it is not working.

Thanks for any help

Should have mentioned that she has been spayed. So am I pretty confident that she is not pregnant. If she is I am going to have a long discusion with my vet.

After the trip to the vet I found out that Maggie had swollen or full Anal Glands. After the cleaning out she is as good as new.

I had thought I had smelled some awfull stuff but nothing like this. When he asked me to open the window in the exam room I thought he was kidding. WOW he was not! He needs to charge more for that service. He asked if I wanted to be taught how to take care of this I responded nope you are the trained professional I will leave it up to you.

The vet kept asking me if Maggie was really sick or acting strange, due to the fact Maggie was bouncing off the walls with all the new smells and small furry chew toys (cats)running around. But she calmed right down when he examined her. After an exam from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail and her gland cleaning she was pronounced a very fit and healthy dog.

Thanks for all information.

Vet did that to my dog last visit as well. Ain't that just the NASTIEST smell ever? He said that normally the gland does not get that bad as it is "self cleaning" when the dog dumps. I know where ya are comming form though! Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

I just seen this proceedure done on the TV show "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery. Prior to the show I'd never heard of it before. I wasn't sure if it was true or not even. But it totally disgusted me. I'm with you, I'll pay the vet ANY amount so I wouldn't have to do that!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
