Thornit is, AFAIK a mixture of "old" medicines ..mostly ones which have a 'disinfecting' property . It does sound a useful thing to have around for minor wounds and hotspots too :) Boric acid iodoform powder zinc oxide and talc as a carrier

I agree :) The A/B's will reach bugs the drops won't . has your dog had her ears cleaned/treated whilst under G A ? That's often the only way to get a nice clean surface which allows drops etc to work properly ..and to let the vet have a good look.

"Hey, Smoke ! wanna come to work today?" The Boss and his new fluffy slipper err, dog ;)

Has she been to a vet at all? I think most vets have seen/treated dogs who have seizures - and her dog's normal vet would be my suggestion as a first step , as they would know the dog best .

could be an infected hair follicle or something else entirely . vet is the best bet :)

psyllium forms a thick gel which is indigestible ..so , imagine a gel /mince sausage ..... ;) Mince & celery is an odd diet :) Unless your dog has no teeth , staffies in particular LOVE getting their meat /bone as a meal ..like a whole turkey wing /neck , or beef brisket bone, oxtail, chicken frame... hewing is what dogs are meant to do ..and they love it!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That showerchair/wheelies would be good for some poor oldie living in a room somewhere ...I would have given my left ^!^ for any of them when Mum was so ill .... we used a plastic chair & drilled holes in it TV units .... OMG. You did very well with your haul!! :)

he is just wonderful :)

That's where this forum is so good :) you can ask for recommendations for anyone from a pet sitter, to a maker of special collars, to a behaviourist , and SOME-ONE will know! Love it :)

he may have had a fright - and now, he is making his views know first ! I hope the person you consult is experienced and useful :)

only beause I had noticed this site ages ago - and not beause I have tried their offerings :) CLICK here for books/DVDs on all things dog (Canada I think )

Definitely does not sound like male aggression , but rather a fear/anxiety thing which, when you insist on exposing him , leads him to want to protect himself .if he can't run - then, well, he needs to bark/growl/hide. he looks very puppyish/submissive in that pic .Please don't desex him yet . Book in to a GOOD trainer/behaviourist . NOT necessarily the one with teh flashest website, the "guarantees" or the one you can see the quickest. The ones working in a franchise may also not be the most appropriate for this time . Kathy Kopellis-Mcleod has some excellent recommendations :)

dogs in paradise :)

How do you know? I think you've answered that yourself - despite it not being what you 'want'

The tone of your voice and 'manhandling' is what scares the dog ..you could hold his nose on a flower in teh carpet , and have a similar effect . ;) MUCH better to train the RIGHT thing :)

I didn't read it that way ..

hi :) is your dog desexed? he sounds as if he has matured , and is now 'showing off'...and marking his territory . My suggestion would be to NOT give him any free time inside - he is to be on lead , with a human at all times . Take him outside each hour or so.. and encourage him to pee ... BIG rewards when he does :) When he pees - use a cue word of your choosing ... say it as he is peeing at first ...then as he starts, then when he's sniffing/looking - until hearing that word will be his signal to pee ;) What obedience/training have you & he done?

the puppy's breeder should have given you feeding advice. What did they say ?

What a good boy he is , and I love that your other boy is also calm and caring :) Great update!

This looks like a chocolate with a faded coat to me? looks like he has chocolate points :)

in dogs who live in such close companionship - yes, it takes time. Extra nourishing food - maybe some B vitamins , and an adaptil spray/collar , but basically don't force her - and keep up as normal a routine as possible .

The red ones are just gorgeous, aren't they? I have only ever known a couple . Good luck - and yes, wait until your girl is mature and well mannered :)

"Stay Down, kid ! Dad knows best . Humans LOVE when you grovel at their feet ..." Like This ? Is this good?
