persephone

On Thurs FEBRUARY 25 on Austar (Bio at 8:30 pm.) there is a Cesar episode where he goes undercover and into puppy milling activity. Could be interesting. Apparently it was filmed in 2008- and the kennel was ordered to release 75 dogs into care.

I have not tried the powder, but I swear by betadine My mum's old GRxGSD used to get shockers- he had a thick double coat ....;) I used to clip them and betadine them ( after scrubbing with hibitane wash

I do hope you contacted the breeder straight away. How awful for you, poor little pup ;)

If archies has eaten an amount of crystals- he may only show symptoms after several hours ..as things move slowly thru. Hopefully he will be OK. Dogs LOVE poo -from any species

LINK I killed my photoshop sometime back... Tried Gimp and some others with NO success and heaps more grey hairs... and found this one today . Within a few minutes I had done some layer work, selecting/cutting/inserting/cloning... For me, it is fairly simple, and with a good set of tutorials,could be very handy! Enjoy.

I also had a rescued pig puppy - he was a dane/deerhound mix - grew to nearly a metre at the shoulder and, in not fat condition was 45 -48 kg. I lost him at 7 to bloat

A bite from a jack/pom/whatever would not cause too much damage. A bite from a an adult stafford...........well, I would imagine that would not be pleasant. if I had an option, I would NOT walk past a yard containing an unknown unsecured dog larger than a SWF .

I hope the policeman is being treated for his depression and whatever else led to this . R I P poor dogs.

Dammit- something in my eye ! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY well done, you!

It certainly sounds like an allergy to me. I would also suggest a second opinion- and maybe ask if an antihistamine can be tried ? If an anti histamine heps- then that is terrific! if not - then you need to look further I had a dog who used to lick paws a lot- he was allergic to grass

I would also suggest swimming- keeping her at a trim weight, and perhaps seeing a chiropractor. has she been xrayed or otherwise tested for any hip/leg problems? Snake venom is destructive stuff- however it could be something else, perhaps. So- when do we see photos of this lucky girl?

Smoothiegirl- I think of 'play-stalking' behaviour when you describe your dobe

Openeing their mouth and hissing is the only defence they have Dogs find them fun to hunt and shake to death- and irresponsible dog owners allow it ;) provide earthernware pipes ,or some rockpiles , so the lizards can get away! More hints HERE we don't have bluetongues, we have shinglebacks instead. they share the chook/dog food, and often we will see the dogs and an old 'stumpy' laying flat out on the concrete porch in teh cool

This is not seperation anxiety as I know it It is merely a teenager not wanting to be somewhere, and training your mother to let her in!! The pup KNOWS that, if she barks long enough, grandma will open that door!! grandma has to be taught to IGNORE the pup Completely. When you put pup outside- what does she have to 'do' ? Does she have a food stuffed kong? A Bone? A nice rattly toy? If she is just put in the yard --- and of course she will not want to be alone-- she WILL bark. She is unhappy and wants to be with her pack . However, if she is fed in the yard...preferably with her food in a kong ,or treat ball/cube.... then the yard becomes a MUCH nicer place, and she will be happier to stay there I am sure others will have better suggestions - this is just what I thought of ;)

Dogs can do this with hypoglycaemia- yes ;) Friends had a dog who was given tests for heart probs and all sorts- turned out to be hypoglycaemia ... with managed food etc he was OK. Hopefully your girl doesn't have the problem again ;)

Hmmm.. not sure, but I will stick by my first hypothesis - The dog is wary- sniffing continually at a scent which may be a tomcat or something.... something seen as a bit threatening, but fascinating. The dog seems very aware of what is going on,is listening hard, and reacts quickly to movements/sounds/the touch of a branch on his tail.... dunno ;)

Get a white tissue or cotton bud- see what it looks like on that If it has the colour/consistency of blood..... put a pic up if you like /aren't sure!

That dog is not Cesar's Daddy .

LINK to daddy's 'death notice'

In recent footage- he just had such a wise and sedate look I just love his face

Oh . My favourite pit bull . Junior has some VERY big pawprints to fill. R I P Daddy .

Hopefully Hannah will be OK .

I think, re food- choose one appetising food- and just offer that a couple of times a day. put it down - pick up bowl after 15 minutes. NO treats . Your friend really does need to get some real life professional help- someone recommended . She may have a big job ahead of her , and extra help will be a godsend.

Ouch! if you can spray it with some betadine ,that would be good ..or even salty water . otherwise, if he is reasonably comfortable- just take him to the vet in the morning
