that's good news!!

LOVE slippers with fur!! :rolleyes:

I strongly suggest put a post up in training.. asking for recommendations for a trainer in your area. I think one-on one professional help is the way to go here. ASAP. This is much better handled with someone alongside you - who can see the body language of all parties :rolleyes:

Around here it is common knowledge that if someone's dog strays and chases stock- it will never get home. Those dogs caught in the act should have been euth'd.AND the owner should have been made to pay all costs.

Hopefully he is on nutrigel and liquids at least? he is obviously feeling very poorly Hamlet had an obstruction , had surgery and stayed in Hosp for a few days ..he was eating canned stuff in Hosp. he was only young, and so I guess that helped . Hope your boy picks up soon. try him with some rescue remedy!

She could well be allergic to the AB's , or the chicken, or anything, really I would be seeing a different vet- honestly.... poor girl.

Do you go to any obedience school sessions? They may be helpful in that they can show you the basics The BEST and most effective (tho not cheap) thing I can think of is to get a few private sessions with a good trainer (recommended thru here;) ) . That way you have someone with you who can see exactly what the problem is, and give you the knowledge to fix it! It is hard for online advice to be really exact, as we cannot see you and your dog walking - there are good experienced trainers on DOL, so advice will be worth having- but personal one-on-one training is the ideal!

The safest and most effective is to dig/rake/pull You are going to have to rake/move the dead/dying stuff anyway -

He is a gangly 'teenager' he will fill out and grow into his legs !

She looks HEAPS better

In those photos he does not look skinny to me.he just looks cute A balanced raw diet is good What is he getting each day ? I agree with 1 hour walking being a lot for a young puppy....

Nooo Treats are not a common occurrence with me

looks like a VERY nasty case of hives - poor girl, maybe consider getting her some allergy testing done...so you are aware of the triggers. and now think back to ANYTHING slightly different she could have been exposed to yesterday..... Hope she loses her lumps during the day, and that you all get a good sleep tonight! Best of luck at the vets. ps: I can sympathise- I have been like that due to a msg allergy. eyes swollen shut-the works!

he does get donations sometimes..... usually he has a butter container !

Poor girl- possibly an allergic reaction- hopefully the other vet can give her something to settle it! She may well have been stung by something, or breathed in something or.... Hopefully she will be fine soon

What about a toy or two from the aussiedog range ? LINK

That's an impressive lot of stitches!

lovely! Hope their sickie gets well soon

I start any of ours off with "gimme" for a toy ,as we play They get praise or a treat for giving it to me, or letting me take it. They also get it straight back! heaps of repetitions of this, usually leads to the dogs racing up to me with bones/dead things/stolen items........usually I also teach YUCKY! which means spit it out NOW,and leave it there. ! Very useful ,tho not 1000% reliable- for nasty /dangerous things they may grab. bc_girl- welcome, and I hope we can help you and your dog to a better understanding

Glad the dog made it thru the night . *fingers crossed *

Skin lesions are always a bit tricky- a skin scraping/blacklight check at the vets will help find an answer

I certainly would not leave it on purely for the dogs. That said- hamlet has a fan on at night when it is hot- he sleeps on his bed in my room, and if he is uncomfortable- his restlessness keeps me awake too

I tend to think so.... although, with awareness and experienced handling , dogs can be helped along at a later stage

Seeking professional help IS the easy fix! trying different things and maybe compounding a problem is, IMO, doing things the hard way . Best of luck with the professional you choose- hope your girl gains her confidence!

It is a very cruel way to die
