  1. Agree My Kieran used to vomit every morning ... until I gave him a couple of bikkies as a snack last thing at night An upset tummy and change of diet is usually not a good combination ... just give her more frequent small meals if you can ... and see how she settles after the AB's.If there is still a problem, then look at diet change .
  2. ;) next time.. put a BIG watermark across photos you post ...that way there is no doubt.
  3. Mites, being a little critter a bit like a crab .. are not affected by antibiotics ;) mange mites burrow into hair follicles/skin..and cause the hair to fall out, usually. Diarrhoea is not part of having mange mites. Diarrhoea is usually caused by a reaction to the pup's diet , or infection by bacteria or a virus..or stress . get a thorough vet check- for loose poo , and his skin problem....then decide about the show has he had anything different food/treats lately?
  4. I am so sorry you lost your girl, and sorry your partner is home alone.... it seems to me though,, having a pup die of causes unknown .. there is NO way I would immediately be bringing new dogs onto the property and possibly risk their health too.. apologies if that sounds harsh.... Hopefully blood test etc will show a cause of death, so you know. Take care.
  5. My suggestion would be to get your chosen bitch ... then use semen from a sire of the same lines as the dog you like ... or even him, if he is available at the time I don't know much about co-ownership.. but I think there are way too many things to go wrong with the sort of arrangement you propose
  6. She doesn't need mince, if she has teeth, and is over 9 or so weeks ;) try lamb flaps, chicken frames .. beef offcuts/rootails . let her use those teeth and help her strengthen her muscles That, and teh dry We use supercoat here when we have a litter - that and lots of RMB's
  7. Looks a busy weekend! Shame someone took over your photos, though!! How did they do that ?
  8. Hmmmm wonder if his owners want him back :p :p Dear little fella..
  9. I needed a giggle .... have fun!
  10. ...and that says it all.
  11. Best to buy from a seller who has sold heaps, and whose feedback is 100% or very close . I usually go read the feedback pages to see what people say ... and sometimes G**gle the same item ...just to compare .
  12. Oh That's such a good update . May she continue to improve now ....
  13. Mostly I poke it down.... I consider this is just a part of training, like wiping eyes/checking mouth...
  14. Hmmm ..I admire the person,and love the work of PETE DOBRE I also love the local photographers (adelaide) PAUL TAIT , Mandi Whitten, and drool over works by RODEO ROSE, Melbourne .hard to pick just one or two..... there are so many talented people out there!
  15. Agree with you here - At least she's doing it now while puppy's still young and has a whole life full of attention to look forward to Shame she hasn't yet told the breeder, though
  16. and that is absolutely no reason to leave a dog entire .... Dogs don't think like men , (thank goodness!!) ;)
  17. We have had many old dogs ... a) Breed: Koolies & Koolie x's , border collies,kelpies ... b) Age: mid teens, mostly. c) Diet: Mostly fresh and raw, but dry as well- bonnies, Uncle Albers d) Supplements: _ e) Exercise regime: Worked very hard for most of their lives... then self exercising f) Temperament: Fine g) Prior/current health concerns: None mostly apart from the deaf/blind thing . One or two malignancies late in their lives , one had a stroke . h) Living arrangements: outdoor... kennels .
  18. I think it means you need to get that size filter , yes
