Please do go to the doctor and get antibiotic's as cat saliva can be extremely dangerous to humans. Symptoms of Cat Scratch Fever Transmitted by a scratch or bite, cat scratch fever, also known as cat scratch disease, is generally not serious to people with healthy immune systems. However, go to your doctor if you develop symptoms. The most common treatment is a prescription of antibiotics. If you suffer from a compromised immune system due to any medical condition or are receiving chemotherapy, seek medical attention immediately if a cat bites you. Symptoms of cat scratch fever generally occur three to thirty days after the bite with most cases developing in the first one to two weeks. The illness usually lasts two to four months but may last up to a year. Symptoms include: A blister or small bump develops at the site of the bite Lymph nodes in the area become tender and swollen and may drain pus Low fever Headache Fatigue Sore throat Rash Loss of appetite Possible Complications of Serious Infections Without proper treatment of the initial bite area, the bacterium travels throughout the body in the bloodstream in some cases. Although the following complications are rare, they are possible: Meningitis Pneumonia Heart infection Lung abscess Heart abscess Inflammation of bone or bone marrow Septic arthritis RIP Kitty

You would need to be giving handful of capsula's to overdose - if it's even possible?!?! The maintenance level for a dog with allergies is a 1000mg capsula per every 5 kgs.

Ok just looked up wandering dew - found this Wandering Jew Wandering Jew is a waxy trailing succulent that can easily take over and choke a whole garden. It does not respond very well to herbicide. The best strategy is to remove as much of the weed as possible and then mulch the area deeply. When the plant shoots it will be blanched as it pushes its way up through the mulch. It is then much more susceptible to the herbicide. Seeing as you can't really mulch a turf - you have only two options in my opinion pull it all out and then top dress the turf or cut the grass/wandering dew priod to weeding and feeding in the hopes that cause it is cut that the herbiciside will kill it!

Well if its not a wide blade of grass I would say it's in the couch family and give the weed and feed a crack!

Can you post a photo? Here are what different types of grass look like - which one is most like yours??? http://www.jimboombaturf.com.au/turf_varieties

I asked about this a long time ago and what is in my memory is that as long as you let weed and feed completely dry it is safe. So spray weed and feed on a sunny day in the morning and keep the woofa's inside all day! Anyone - please correct me if my memory is incorrect though! Ps - do not use weed and feed if turf is buffalo!

Where about's in Brissy are you? CAuse I would love to meet up for a play date once your baby is old enough!

He's a baby! His coat needs time to develop - to me he looks like he will have a beautiful wavy coat with paler cream weathering and a nice mid gold back and ears! Come going us in the Sub Breed Forum in the Retriever thread! haha , i found what your guys was talking about, i'm reading that retriever thread now, very good thread!~ PS there are some piccies of fluppies, your pup's age that are just as leggy and gangly looking!

Absolutely and it may take anywhere from another 6-10 mths until he is pretty much fully grown!

I have two words for you - JEALOUS ........... and CONGRATULATIONS! Can't wait to see a puppy piccie overload in the Saint thread!
