I hope she will be OK. Is there any way that you can keep Miya away from the other dogs?
Miya is usually where ever I am. But after being in my room for a while, when I go to take a shower she will roam the house for a few minutes, then lay in the hall between the restroom and my bedroom.Originally Posted by Justontime
I'm looking into moving within the next two months, so hopefully that works out and I won't have to worry about finding her bleeding anymore.
It sounds as if moving may be the best option but you need to think about what is best for you as well as what is best for your dog. Good luck.
How is her ear? Keep an eye on it to make sure that it is healing well and that it doesn't get infected.
He ear looks to be healing fine. She hasn't tried to scratch it, and I'm keeping it clean. Thank you for caring!
Been away a couple of days and getting cought up...
I have been just were you are SammRose....I didn't like it anymore than you do it's stressful and difficult at best.
If you can, get out on your own, but until you can.... My dog was a senior, my life, and family's dogs were mean and nasty no manners beastys (just like my sister) My dog stayed were I was..in the bedroom, bathroom, leashed "outside" the yard with me. I read, studied, ate my dinner in my room with my dog. It was hard on both of us but it had to be done. If I was at work he stayed in my room until I came home and then we went "outside" the yard away from 'others'. Family had NO reason to deal with my dog, so teaching and working with him was just about us, no interference.
I wish you and Miya the best, when it's all over, you will both be the better from it ~ stronger.
women and cats will do as they please,
men and dogs need to get used to the fact.
You need a crate for her. That can be her safe spot, when you cannot watch her. It keeps the other dogs out, and she has a place where she can relax. Tell your family to not touch the crate and leave her alone.
I actually cannot use a crate with her. It represents hell to her. The person(s) who had her as a puppy kept her in a crate with the other female, never cleaned it. She has black dots on her belly that we believe to be stains imbedded from having to live in waste. The crate was kept outside in the heat with two heavy moving blankets over it.
Ive tried a few times to get her use to crates.. no luck. She flips out at the sight of one in the pet store.

If you can't use a crate, or de-sensitise her to one, then how about a dog playpen. usually made from the same sort of material as a crate, more room, no top on it, and can be made the size you want. It will also fold away when not in use, and probably easier to do this than a crate. Try feeding/playing with her in the enclosure, before you actually have to leave her in there for any length of time. Like anything new dogs have to get used to these things graudally, and usually using really tasty treats to do this, will help.
A playpen is the one "cage" she can stand, she is use to it form having ten puppies (My brothers amazing idea, so he could make money -_- first and only heat, which was timed literally the day she was suppose to get fixed :/ Just her luck) But anyway, my mom let a family friend "borrow" it because she refuses to get her dogs fixed and they are always having puppies..But I've talked to a neighbor who is going to let me keep Miya in her back yard/back patio so when I get a job Miya will be safe away from my moms dogs
