His umbilical hernia

>Why do you think this dog was thrown away?
Because people are idiots who don't spay or neuter their pets and then when they finally end up with puppies, instead of making a trip to the shelter would much rather just dump them in the garbage next door.

Good on you for helping the pup. Just keep taking care of him until you get him checked out.

either this, or they impulse-buy a cute puppy, and then they realize that puppies will inevitably shit in your house, bite you and ruin your possessions and dump them.

as for the breed/mix, it's a bit early to tell, also your pics don't give good indication of paw size. if he has large paws he could be a rottie mix.

Here he is looking at the camera.
We scheduled a vet appointment for tomorrow.

I thought the markings looked like a rottie or doberman too, but his ears and tail look very beagle-like. Maybe a mix of two of those

>Why do you think this dog was thrown away?

Because people are assholes, that's why.

Pups have to be nearing their teenage years to be able to tell their breed.

looks like maybe min pin/beagle mix or something. can't really tell as of now though. try again in 6 or 9 months

Okay, here's a new problem - he pees CONSTANTLY. Like, he'll be playing with our other dog and every five minutes or so he'll stop to piss on the carpet or blanket or whatever's on the floor at the moment. It's almost nonstop, I don't understand how he has this much urine in him.
He's also teething and can't go two seconds without having something in his mouth, be it shoes, toys, or hands. When he bites people we give him a pop on the nose.
Is there anything better we can do to train him? I know it's only been a day, but I've cleaned up 18 spots of piss today and now he's in a crate.

Could be a urinary tract issue. Could just be a puppers. Get him to a vet to rule out anything like a UTI.

Second, get him a nylabone. They make special ones for teething puppies.

Bump

Also, bless you, OP.
