jacinta- on your profile- there is no information ... if you have used your real name- then you may be able to change it if you are so concerned... but honestly- with one first name, and a city/town population..how on earth could anyone find you???!!!! your dog would have to be a very valuable and special one for someone to go to all that trouble Most folks here give an area, or a city-- it is of GREAT assistance if info is required for vets,obedience classes,trainers, boarding kennels.... all that sort of thing

Agreed Frogs are protected, and struggling. You cannot relocate them either- because of a froggie fungus (dangerous to frogs only) fence off your pond properly- keep the water going, and enjoy knowing you are helping out the struggles of our frogs! Hope your little fella continues to be seizure free . He will love being able to go outside again!! perhaps there was some spray or something from next door?

Ooh- someone else has done the dead wool thing!! That used to be our pocket money- back when ANY wool was worth something- pulling the wool from maggoty/dessicated carcases was not the most pleasant- but,to me, there are worse things than maggoty wool/flesh ( we also used to trap/skin rabbits- dry the skins, and sell them for Christmas money (akubra hats used the fur for feltetc) ) (human vomit ) for one.... -

Oh, Bugga sending thoughts and a Hope he can hold on. -
cutting roo tail with an axe may leave splintery bits. I prefer to take the time and experiment with finding the pad of cartilage in between the vertebrae..then just cutting smoothly thru. It does take some finding at first worth a half hour cutting and scraping- and flexing the tail, to see where the cartilage is

we are not asking your address- region/nearest city will do

don't bet on it. some vets will just push product , citing convenience. Hopefully yours doesn't.

All that is a lot for a dog's immune system to cope with....- esp. if he is carrying a fungal/bacterial infection. if he were mine, he would be desexed, but not have vacc's the same time, and definitely not the heartworm injection.

you can go to the vet well-armed, now- and don't let them fob you off.

Can these be done at 5 months?(sorry, I have never done either, so don't know) with a pup showing behaviours as described, perhaps doing this , where other dogs are would not be a good thing at present ... -
No expert- but would also suggest he is losing his puppy coat.

IMO - fear aggression needs one-on-one professional help. You pup had a rough start at the very important beginning of her life- so her brain is now wired a bit differently. If you ask on here, someone will give you recommendations for a professional to assess and advise. I will say one thing tho- when she is carrying on- do not pick her up/pat/talk to her. Best of luck with her... -

Ok- fast growing nails/furry pads...this is ringing little bells- something about keratosis.... *goes googling*

Looks as if it could be a fungal infection?..definitely get it looked at closely . orrrrrrrr.. when he walks- do the nail edges abrade that part of his pad? looks as if it has been roughened by constant friction as well.....
