  1. ouch! perhaps she zigged when she should have zagged? Vet first ..in case..
  2. I probably would freak out a bit as well ... I would be disappointed/worried/angry/confused..and absolutely determined to explore all causalities! Working at a vets we would always get owners phone or visit reporting lumps after vaccs..usually a fibrous lump..pea sized or such ..and it would not be at all painful ... when we used to use certain stitches on certainm dogs they wouldreact with ginormous fluid lumps - often requiring draining ..and ,of course a note on their charts to NOT use that material on/in them again. I do hope the vet realises that this is something which needs much investigating - and of course, fixing . Good luck in teh morning .... poor babies.
  3. it still seems to me a result of injecting something ... being all in such a precise spot . ..and I would be jumping up & down on the vet's doorstep first thing tomorrow !! It is well worth investigation - for a reason of future incidents /reactions to reagents etc when injected with stuff if they get ill ...... poor little mites :( That is just awful ..that much swelling will be causing some damage to cells of all sorts :*(
  4. YOIKS. that is a large sized lump for little bubs Doesn't sound at all like wasp stings ..all in teh same area ..and so large , and just popping up. You would have noticed wasps, surely ..and the stings HURT . Hope they are OK ... Do you have any silver colloid ? put some on the lumps, and in their water,maybe ....
  5. ...ahhh they sound very smart - to totally ignore silly tests ;)
  6. ..nice to see him all growed up! :D
  7. sounds like a reaction to either/both injections ..... No advice, sorry .
  8. rozzie ..no .. but they have BIG mouths and muscles which suffocate /strangle a small animal .....
  9. what size puppy? how far away from you do you want it to be? Formal recall,with a 'heel' or a pup who come belting back to you any old way and screeches to a halt ,smiling and wagging puppies can learn excellent recall at home - in the house/yard without any leash ;) EVERY time you want to pat/feed pup ..call its name - when it comes - it gets praised, and /or rewarded with toy/food EVERY time . EASY :) The thing is - never pat/treat puppy without at least a recall /sit It very soon becomes a good habit :D
  10. ..without seeing the injuries - it is very hard .... size/shape/depth/position all help .
  11. ..and another suggestion may be to pop her on a long line ...this is how I teach our free range puppies out bush :) collar left on ..then one day..a long line while out in a favourite spot ..then a retractable (original ,STRONG)..then a shorter leash . Lots of recalls each stage ....
  12. large feral cat ? It may have latched on..and goat rushed, perhaps breaking its neck? Large cats here take kid goats ..one I rescued had been grabbed from a cat who had it by the shoulders !
  13. Firstly - your dogs will need to have a blood test BEFORE starting a heartworm preventative - as it can be very dangerous if worms are present in teh heart, and medication kills them . I cannot help with best tick prevention , or much else , sorry. If you stop at truckstops along the way - the dogs should not have any problem with fleas etc :) Hope the vet records go with you as well- happy moving!
  14. This widget is about 6 or so now ... :)
  15. ..ahh .. being what she is - I guess the heat would have much more effect Hope all goes well.
  16. Oh.... I'll change it a bit ..I wanted to get a wide exposure ....
  17. This makes my heart ache .... poor little baby . please click HERE to see how you can help excerpt : . this LINK ..does contain potentially upsetting material. excerpt :
  18. she helps make sure the seats stay just where they should be , of course :p
  19. Tradition is a marvellous thing ........................................... in some cases.
