We have never had the flea problem like we have had this year.

We use Advantix because of the high tick area that we live in.

After a lot of reading and deliberation we resorted to Confortis. That is just over a week ago and all is good.

Thanks for posting. We have been considering using this treatment for a while.

Gave it to our boy last night with food, no problem.

Gave it to one of the girls tonight and she seems OK.

WOOOHOOO ZERO!!! omg his so cute!!... and all the other flyballers good run :) looks like so much fun!

p.S i didnt know pets were being sold there? is that usual practice?

Zero is pretty cute, but than he is a husky. :D

What sort of pets? It's a while since I filled in the forms for The Expo, but

I always thought that it was a definite NO.

I know I'm new here, but if anyone wants to come say hi I'll be the one of the blokes walking the shetland ponies for the kids at the animal farm to the left of the center stage.

After we say hi, can we pat a pony?

only if you say ' pretty please with suger on top ' ;)

Hope I don't say it to the wrong person.

Don't get a Sibe, if you want a peacful nights sleep and don't want to get woken up at 3 in the morning by a dog getting through a hole in the fence that a rabbit couldn't fit through. :D

This hole has been a project for a few days I would think. She did enjoy her splash in the pond though. :laugh:

Well looks like I will be there both days on the Flyball stand!! I will try and wear my hat with my name (Jaime) on it and I will have at least one chocolate kelpie with me! The second monster will either be Demi the Finnish Lapphund or another Kelpie so feel free to say hello!!

I must admit I am generally too shy to randomly walk up to people and ask if they are on DOL lol.

Don't be shy, come and say hi. :) We will be on the Sibe stand on the Sunday.

Zero and I will be there both days - he's doing flyball demos.

Come and say hi if you see us! He's the only sibe doing flyball so you can't miss us. Failing that, I'll be getting my "sibes who aren't mine" fix at the sibe club stand.

Hopefully that will be with us. Still working out who is going and when.

Done.

They are in Sydney pet shops as well. Eight Below was on the other night.

Puppy Farmers dream come true.

Thanks for all your support, for my little red girl.

It looks like we should be OK for a while.

Will organise all the paper work with our vet tomorrow and hopefully the product

will be available soon.

Once again thank you to every one that took the time to read this and help if they

could.

Do you still need more? I'll see if I'm able to get hold of any through work.

Hi Miss B

That would be good if you can, it would give us a bit of a buffer if

Dermcare aren't up and running with the product.

I've got one for you - possibly two - have sent you a pm :)

Thank you so much. They are happy tears.

Perhaps all of us that work at vet clinics around Australia can check to see if we have any left on the shelf.

Come on Australian vet nurses have a look at your practice.

I won't be at work until next week but I will check then.

Thank you so much Fordogs. Even if people could ask their local vet.

I understand that they have their own clients, but if they have any to spare it would

be greatly appreciated.

I'm hoping you may be able to help me please. My Siberian Husky ( female 7 years old " Jatz" ) suffered from glaucoma last year and unfortunately lost sight in her right eye. We were advised that she may have to have the eye removed due to ongoing infections but our vet first prescribed a combination of treatments using Xalatan eye drops and Conoptal viscous eye drops. We have continued this treatment ( one drop every morning and evening ) now for nearly twelve months without any further deterioration in the eye and no further infections.... so all is good. Unfortunately Bayer are no longer distributing the Conoptal in Australia and the new distributor ( Dermcare ) will not have any stock for release until at least March, possibly later. We ran out of Conoptal and tried another product ( Ilium Opticin ) but that does not seem to work and the eye's condition began to worsen. I've managed to find 2 x 3gm tubes by contacting vets and Dermcare directly and her eye has recovered again, but this supply will only last for another 2 weeks or so.

Is there anyone able to source some of this product for me? I can provide a veterinary prescription if required and can reimburse you via electronic funds transfer, credit card, paypal or whatever works best for you.

Hope someone out there can help my girl.

Hi

Posting for a friend, for people who may be interested.

I wanted to share the news that Dr Ian Dunbar is coming to Australia in February next year for a 3-day lecture series in Sydney & Melbourne. Ian is one of the better known names in dog training and is the founder of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers back in the 90's, which has now become the largest pet dog training organisation in the world. He is a veterinarian, animal behaviourist and dog trainer as well as author, publisher and TV presenter.

Update.

Thanks sinta for your information.

They have contacted the person from Gumtree and are meeting today.

Wow Thanks Sinta.

They would of course need to check her out.

We have escape artists too. One of ours used the zed like frame on the back of a gate

to climb.

Once her back feet where secure she would haul herself over.

The way we found out she was doing this is we took our other dog out the front, and my

husband watched her.

What we did is we put lattice on the top of the gate but at an angle. This way the dog has to go backwards to move forwards, and she couldn't make the jump.

Hope that makes sense.

I don't know Perth at all.

Possibly near "Morley"

Hope this link works.

ANY DOG WALKERS IN PERTH / KNOW ANYONE IN PERTH WHO CAN HELP THIS FAMILY STAY TOGETHER?? PRETTY PLEASE??

Repost from Alaskan Malamute Rehoming Aid:

Cooma and his fursister Rani needs your help to find them somebody willing and able to take them on regular walks. Their mum, Deb, is heartbroken because she can no longer walk them due to needing a knee reconstruction and then a hip replacement after that. Deb adopted Rani from AMIN when Barb was an admin of that group and adopted Cooma from the pound. He is almost blind.

Deb desperately wants them to be cared for properly but can't bear to part with them and daily exercise is a requirement. Is there anyone or even a few people who live in Perth, that may be able to help this wonderful family out....so they don't even have to consider parting ever again?. We will post the area in Perth as soon as it's known. Thanks.

Thanks

I'm so sorry for your loss Memphis. RIP Tallan

Well, we had one of our old boys, Cooper, in ICU last night. I don't know how the hell it happened but a tiger snake got into our dog shed/runs and Cooper had it. We have done everything possible to protect our kids and I feel so defeated.

Luckily we caught it early and my husband rushed him to the emergency vet, which is 20 minutes away speeding, while I stayed and watched the other 10 boys for any signs. I just can't believe that we have to go through this again (4th time in less than 2 years) but thankfully, Cooper is made of strong stuff and is on his way to recovery.

You do everything possible to protect your guys. They are our and about early this year.

We never walk in the bush, but I spoke to a guy on Saturday morning when we were walking, and he had seen a snake. I don't know why people walk their dogs through the bush. Snakes, ticks,and 1080 baits.

Some old favourites. Haven't posted photos for ages, hope it works

Sorry Teebs it didn't work out the way that most people hoped.

Some good people on board trying to help this pup. The thing is he will probably end up in rescue, but with a hell of a lot more problems and harder to get a good home.

Thanks for all your time and effort for this little guy. A pity owners don't have to sit a test before they get a pup.

It was on abc 1

Not in NSW
