persephone

I am sorry you have had such a bombshell, and glad that you are not putting her thru the invasive stuff. She is happy, she is loved ..she has no idea what her future holds - and that's perfect :)

Hi :) have you had a read thru this info yet? CLICK HERE there is a list of breeders here -. Buying from an ethical breeder who health tests stock for genetic problems ,lets a buyer see results, breeds with a view to improving the breed,and is open & honest in communication is important :) CLICK HERE that's all I can think of :)

hi :) good for you on rescuing Evie ! She may well have been born a bit timid - like people , not everyone is an extrovert or really confident ;) When training her , then, just work on what you have . She sounds great - just that she really really thinks other dogs are much more interesting than human sometimes ! I will suggest you and Evie attend an obedience school nearby - or contact a private trainer - not sure who is over West , so I'll leave that to someone who does know. Please read thru the following info as well - it may be helpful. :) http://blog.k9pro.com.au/10-things-not-to-do-with-your-dog/ http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/232274-exercising-reactive-dogs-thread/page__st__15 http://leemakennels.com/blog/dog-behaviour/dog-training-dog-behaviour/seven-steps-to-off-leash-reliability/

So sorry Wishing Jindi pain relief, and you , support and love.

As someone who recently had a spot of bother with excess serotonin ..DON'T DO IT to your dog . If your dog becomes as ill as I was that day ...... It's not worth it If your vet is unsure, contact one of the Uni teaching hospitals ....

WooHoo!! have fun ..and remember , LOTS of clicking !!!

the injection is not an 'immunisation', like the needles for parvo etc :) It is an injection of a chemical which kills heartworm larvae before they can grow and migrate to the dog's heart .....

No- that camera !!! It looks great !

But there's so many numbers! :laugh: I think it's going to be Canon. G3X probably. (was going to be G7 X) Honestly, the Powershot G3 X is sounding really good, though someone did a review and said that it's 'slow' and 'lacklustre' but that's still going to be better than my current one so it's possible I wouldn't actually have noticed. It's hard to tell if the reviews are picking up issues that would be noticed by an expert rather than someone like me who is always going to just muddle through. Think my old one is deteriorating. There's a sort of blue-ness to things. WOW!!!!!!!!

:) Charcoal does /can make poo green , yes.

unfortunately , brain lesions can be a cause of sudden aggression- I've seen this personally . Hope for a good result :hugz:

This is just my opinion .. To properly feed a 'prey' model meat diet ..he needs stuff like bone / kidneys/liver/tripe/brains /fish... a good mixture. What he is getting now .. I presume is just meat? Just meat /muscle meat , is not a complete diet . yes, you can add veges ..but only a small amount .. ..and give him cold whole raw carrots & apples to chew :) Try him with veges made into a pulp .. beans/carrot/pumpkin... a couple tablespoons/teaspoons, depending on size of dog on some meat /mixed with a bit of minced heart or sardines in oil :) To read a LOT more on how to successfully feed a balanced raw/natural diet ... look at the following.

Haven't been on forum for a while but I used to post my woes about Jasper, silver toy poodle, constantly licking feet and removing all hair due to ???? Who would know. Tried many different foods. Creams .. Don't use chemicals in the house. Yard fairly small and grass. Fenced off garden so he couldn't run through. Walked him on path not grass. Then after so much frustration , changed his diet , no kibble. Full of additives. He eats fresh chicken and some veg. But. For past 12 months he's had 1/2 prednisone every 3 rd day. Not touched his feet until this December I put frontline plus on. 2 days later vomitting and licked hair off back foot. Now I know what it was. Every month I'd been topping him up with it. Not any more. His foot has healed and his cone is off. So the tablets were the only thing that helped. He'd been wearing a cone for 3 years. :) Hi ! I remember the trouble you and your boy had ...and am very glad he is now happier! back when I had Mitchell .. we didn't use the spot on things - it was just malawash if/when a flea was seen ....

Elsie - :) yes, she does look quite the whippet ;) Ping!! What a character he looks - his name is perfect :)

...something to consider . perhaps try using LESS chemicals ? Does he really need to have flea/worm treatment each month? is there another way , perhaps , to help his system be stronger ? Maybe keep up with HW prevention if you live in an area that needs it - worm him less frequently with a dedicated wormer ..and treat fleas with diatomaceous earth or something??

yes- it seems no time at all since she was all big eyes & knobby knees :) :)

awwww..but she's still a baby ...... Noooooo ........ ;)

:) he will smell/hear the sheep long before he sees them , yes!

Sars..get some video of her ..to show the vet - that will make diagnosis a bit easier . You may be correct with a back injury .Do you have a good canine chiro nearby?

sars .. cold tail, anal gland probs, lower spine ouchies, are the obvious ones ... is the rest of the dog normal? ear carriage, posture? is dog happy and behaviour normal at these times? When you go to the vet ... could you get a video to show them?
