Look HERE excerpt:

a little bit of rat poison doesn't slow them down , really .... did your vet suggest a test for clotting times ? That's the way to tell if they have any in their system, AFAIK.... I would think that getting liquid rodenticide would be much more difficult than getting wingtips with 1080 on ....and it would have to be a liquid to be absorbed into the chicken ...

Whatever it is ...do it again!! I love it :D Can see this on the cover of a sci-fi book ! :p

so sorry Anne ....

:)

Yes! I've just done the floor, the stovetop (with carb soda) & the kitchen bin :) It's good for toilet cleaning, too.

Oh :) Might be time to seek out a 'couch potato' line :)

Yep, regardless of price, I always keep my eye out for the '30 day Warranty'. The crate doesn't come partitioned, I was just going to tie a metal grill (clean, of course) between the bars myself. a bit off topic ... Did you put a deposit on a pup? That must be disappointing, when you have picked out your new companion .... Ah well, now you can setup a nice sturdy playpen/crate/kennel etc for the one who does join your family :)

YES!! I don't have a pup, but .. one old dog who often uses teh carpet , one incontinent old cat, ...and a smart a*** sprayer LOTS of biozet and vinegar used here.

Time for a few blood tests etc to see what's happening, I think .

I think it would be horrible for the poor dog to have both legs done at once ..... it would make recovery very awkward ..she would be unable even to toilet properly ..... Think I will also suggest another specialist if possible .... and look at this from your dog's aspect ..... the total immobilisation ... the abilty to even turn over and get comfortable will be gone A risk of infection in one leg is a worry ..two .. shouldn't have to be a consideration Toileting problems may lead to urine dribbling into wounds /dressings , constipation ... loss of toilet training

could be training treats :) The cynic in me always thinks of those who really dislike dogs ..and can access various poisons ....and then bait doggy areas

I just blot with paper towel .. then have a dedicated pee mop .. and use vinegar ...... For mats/clothing .. I soak in Drive or bio zet laundry powder for a few hours .. then wash , and rinse with vinegar :) Good luck.

Hope all is good with the stake injury . Ouch!

white vinegar :)

So , sorry .. That is a beautiful photo of her ... relaxed and enjoying ... :) Take care ..be kind to yourself . R I P Piper.

buried wingtips .... that's what is used here to bait foxes .it is laced with 1080 ..and buried just under the surface to deter birds from taking it. I hope you have it/them double/triple wrapped , totally drip proof ..and are handling with gloves. there is no way i would have put it in my fridge if it was 10 80 and your dog ate any he would probably have shown violent symptoms very soon after . Could you phone Werribee Vet Hospital or someone perhaps and ask ? .. or maybe National Parks /wildlife orgs ..or ...RSPCA. I feel it should be tested . IF someone is doing this it could be nasty. The other thing.. a dog may have thrown up its breakfast, and owner kicked tanbark over the mess ? ..... worrying .....

Iphone lenses My first two shots with the macro lens this morning ;)

;) there are definitely many possibilities when it comes to skin ... LINK to list .

Young dogs may still have pain ;) It is so localised!! Can you post a photo on here ? Guess you are tearing out your own hair trying to find a way to help!

:) Nice to see, and I hope they enjoyed being around Cougar .

:)

:D

k.c why not start with cardboard boxes? if you ask around some stores ..it is amazing the shapes/sizes/strengths you may find!!! Easily cut/painted /and cheap as . Blankets etc inside ..and there you have it :) The dogs don't care!!
