persephone

Happens here .... mostly the boys . one in particular tends to fight first/ask questions later . The bitches only fight very rarely ..but on one occasion have had one end in death by fighting for one , and death by human for the survivor.

,,don't know if all breeds mentioned are in here- but have a look thru the D O L "dog breeds 101 " :D CLICK here

What attracts you to these very different breeds ? Is there something they have in common? :) Coat/grooming Trainability? supposed intelligence? Size? novelty? health status/lack of possible genetic problems? It's an interesting choice .

I hope it works, but am not sure how a new cream will work if the cause is not known ? is the cream a cortisone type, or an antibacterial/fungal type ?

lillypilly - what a beauty- and SO close!! :)

My dogs eat the soggy flowers ... one thinks they're a treat :p

ouch hopefully you can organise its removal soon - must be very uncomfortable .And getting bloods and a fine needle biopsy would be helpful as well ... there are things which aren't infected which can still be a decided worry ... perhaps you might need to do some reading, so you can talk about it with the vet? If she is licking at it, etc ..it is bothering her ,and is probably painful .

Ah.. makes sense ... thanks.

Hope it can be sorted easily .. :) keep us posted.

That looks to be something which has been there for a while don't squeeze it .. you may accidentally be spreading whatever ..or irritating it .....maybe instead of putting alcohol on. Use salty water ..and take her to teh vet ASAP.

Is that safe while they are so infected though?

He is remembered :) Glad you posted although it was out of grief.

I am glad it may finally be fixed. Probiotics are terrific after antibiotics as far as I know :) just feed good fresh meat with some. Veg/ fruit/ soft bones. Avoid colourings and preservatives :)

Hi - not sure how sunscreen will help any sort of irritated/sore skin patches ... best to see the vet - another vet if teh first one fobbed it off ...,Unfortunately , skin things are often tricky to diagnose - and may need a skin scraping to help. this may be a very good plan ..because IF it is ringworm .... it will possibly spread ..... some images of RINGWORM on dog muzzles .....

LOve the look on his face :)

someone was changing cameras because of this (in part) ?: can't remember who ----but anyway ..have a look HERE

In Google search ..click on search tools , then AUSTRALIA only .. ;) S'easy!

Don't they look all shiny and happy ? :)

:) looks good!

woohoo!!! :D

sometimes the signs are not hanging on fences anymore ..and often, if baiting is done incorrectly, crows /magpies will pick up and drop baits a long way from where they should be

get Jonah used to wearing a nice basket orJafco muzzle ;) My bro works his dogs on properties which bait ( and tend to NOT do it correctly .... they all wear muzzles when working . my paranoia is more than mild ! A property owner we know lost a dog once when the fridge (in which he had stored rabbit baits (carrot/1080) in thick plastic bags ) leaked..dog licked at liquid .. died .

I'm glad you gave us an update - and hope the different vet can help. if he can eat fish .. that's good - there are quite a few foods with fish! :)
