Why are they using either product . Both have different uses . Oatmeal is not for dogs with yeast issues & malaseeb is very drying so it depends what the actual problem is . F10 do a great shampoo for yeast. Dry ,flaky coats we use Sebitar from chemist warehouse which is fine for dogs BUT you need to know why that product should be used

Is his breeder not willing to take him back or help with rehoming . Just confused as this is a rescue section ??

Your doing to much exercise for its age in regards to potential joint issue . Walking doesnt make them tired it makes them fitter ,you will never tire out this combo ever but this combo is more than capable of having an off switch like any other dog & you will never ever reach a happy ending because this method doesnt give those results Mind games makes the brain tired BUT teaching the pup at this age self control & self calm is how older dogs become lovely to live with . I own large active breeds but teaching them chill in public & at home is more important than walking ,walking & walking . Sitting down reading a book & the dog reacting in the right way so a necessary life skill . For starters people work dogs being home is normal nothing to feel guilty over . There are plenty of dogs with owners home all the time that never get out the front door from week to week ,being home doesnt mean better owner. Make walks shorter & do more training skills .Be creative with at home items .Teach spin,walking backwards is a skill that tires dogs quickly due to concentration & muscles used . Cheap containers can be used for "find" the object ,the wheelie bins you can do weaving exercises forwards/backwards with spins. Sit ,shake hands ,drop all things that require the brain to focus . Exercise wobble boards teach balanCe,co ordination & focus $15 from Kmart . These things build a relationship of focus,reward & listen but whilst having fun .

And the answer is always the pup is driving us crazy so a long walk will calm it down .

Treatment is normally at a specialist vet centre did they not give you a full info sheet in writing before treatment was considered on required initial dosage & costs?? Have you asked them why the price has jumped so much??

Plus add the vets who clearly can not diagnose correctly & tell puppy owners to go after the breeder or the name & shame posts before a correct outcome is even made . We had a puppy owner who followed there vets advice which was to go after the breeder (us) & demand XYZ. Luckily for us in our contract it clearly states any issues of a significant status we had the right for a second opinion before any refund or Finacial monies pursued We got 2 second opinions,our vet & a specialist vet . We told the pet owners we required a detailed vet letter of there finding for our records . There vet was made to look like a complete fool with a significant & dangerous misdiagnose, The dog did have an issue picked up by both in a second opinion which was very mild & fixable which we paid for . They contacted us in such a toxic ,vile manner certainly not the people we had well vetted before they even get approved for a pup .There vet had created such a horrible moment its was criminal . Both vets did a detailed report back outlining the findings,the tools use to diagnose & the outcome & our vet did the surgery after. There vet charged $1300 to spay a 6kg dog I had a dog who we got xrayed as he was toe tapping,we opted to use the vet closest to us as it was during an extreme heatwave & the dog was a senior . On collection of the dog told he needed a double hip replacement & that he must have lived a crippled painful life . Um no & looking at the xray even i could see his hips where great for his age & where previously when scored . The crap i got told was laughable & they thought i was some knob who new nothing .It was very obvious he did have a problem though which they did not mention. We asked for a vet report . We had the xrays rescored & came back well below breed average & the higher score was a result of the actual condition he did have . He was a near 10 year with severe spondylosis of the lower spine so his ability to flex was gone . Thiis was clearly listed on his rescore . When we contacted the vet about it & mentioned they missed something No we havent ,what about the Spondo said its no problem Umm hello its significant & its painful . They even questioned the qualifications of the AVA scorer & did we pay for it , As we pointed out you said he needed a double hip replacement & where prepared to put the dog through what for your misdiagnose . Being a breeder does come with alot of flack & expectations which is often hindered by lack of testing facilities offered especially when state govts are insisting on the impossible . I had to fly East years ago to get my dog BAER tested as no one did it here The machine at the Uni had broken down so not fixed & when the tester retired they never trained anyone else to use it . I believe Tasmania currently has no one to do BAER testing so breeders are in a pickle . MRI machines where not even an option testing things like SM & i know when the Cavie clubs did a test day /weekend it really had to be managed to allow as many users to get current dogs done & the cost i think was like $800 a dog & you could never get all dogs down in the year as the machine just wasnt available . I mean even in my home state a Cavie breeder arranges for a heart specialist to fly inn & do a 3 day heart clinic for official certification as no one here can do that .Yes there is a heart people but not what is required on paperwork . It would be wonderful if when state laws are considered the muppets also new about what is required for some of these testings & what facilities are actually available . Yep Pet owners dont understand ,they go on forums & groups & get the wrong info or there vet watched a video & because your dog is doing something it has to be that . Im all for accountability & reality & yes where expected to breed the perfect pet but humans are not required to test for potential health issues as that goes against human rights . WE stopped breeding last year as moving forward its full of clowns making decisions without common sense

Great idea but sadly in this day & age it doesnt cover much depending on the issue . The current cover i have on my puppy gives me $30 000 cover per year ,8000 for hip/joint surgery etc for just over $700 a year . We get breeder discount at our vet & they are independent clinic with awesome prices but even for them they had to rise prices & most vets arent after hr clinics anymore so you have to go to an emergency vet

There is nothing you can do . You accepted the guardianship rules most likely based on getting a cheap dog or refund after some point .The 4 litters would have been clearly stated in the contract . Often these contracts DO NOT cover what happens if it goes pear shape but very much outlines what happens if you dont follow through on the contract . It also often doesnt discuss medical decisions & expenses in these kinds of scenarios as ownership is two ways . Sadly animal cruelty starts with people allowing these guardianship programmes to happen in the extreme & never asking questions first .aka why 4 litters ,what happens if litters are big ,how old is too old ,what vet checks must happen for 3/4 litter for breeding clearance . Are they a member of a org(yes some accept crossbreeds & if so what is there COE )Have they meet the COE of the org . What is your state law on breeding ? I co own dogs on breeders terms but its clearly outlined ,there is the opt out & animal health first & all parties trust each other etc ,nearly 30 yrs of this method has worked well I gather the biggest issue you have is the fact that the bitch is now at risk of passing away due to infection which could have happened with the first litter anyway .AS a breeder myself just like humans the process can come with significant risks & lots of joy. Breeding comes with risks that many who sign up for a dog with a good deal tend to not want to research fully . As a breeder would we have done the 4 litter absolutely not ,2 here is max 3 only if a breeding option comes up that is a massive betterment for the breed option in health clearance status of producing clears. My question would be when did she go back to the breeder for whelping ? How many ultrasounds did she have prior ? Did she have an x ray pre whelping? Was she sick ,acting strange or have any discharge prior to whelping?? Who is making the decisions at present & at what cost with the vet .Are both parties on the same page for expenses ,are you being involved in vet discussions & decisions & the recovery process. Who gets the final say on heroic efforts .This would be my concern asap.

I think Valmae is having a rant that everyone should put pictures of puppies & prices in the ad to make life simple for her so she can make a personal judgement off whether its good enough for them We never put pictures or prices in our ads .If people where interested they contacted us where a personal discussion between both parties happens & all aspects of what there after & whether what we have will suit . We did clearly say no shipping & 99% of people never ever read the ad anyway & would contact us wanting them shipped

It really depends on the breed & whether they want basic cover to premium etc etc. I have a friend with giant breeds & they use Woolworths & i can tell you they have had there monies worth from them. It really just comes down to the whats & then picking . Most have the same underwriter Should ad this is the first time i have ever opted for pet insurance very multi dog household & its never been a need for us & realistically still isnt but with prices of so many things going up & a large breed puppy we are using it especially for the first 15 months/2 years & after going through all sorts of choices ,looking at covers ,total amount etc etc i went with Woolworths too

Just make sure whom ever does is a registered business with insurance . Too many people are just offering pet sitting with no skills,business just a fast buck & make sure you have a contract of what your expectations are on time spent etc etc. Some have so many jobs on the go that the dogs get a in/out feed & water change & thats often when neighbour issues occur & barking

I would not rush out and vaccinate for Lepto & if you did i would seriously understand the vaccination,the pro.cons & the risks that are very well known world wide with the vaccine . I am not anti vaccine BUT i would not vaccinated for Lepto

The risk of parvo is just as high without the older dog . You can bring it home on your shoes & any other item that goes on the ground , We start lead training our puppies in litters at 5 weeks out the front .Risk management is common sense & for some areas of the burbs it is a massive risk . You can just walk a house or too down with pup & older dog seeing the world is just as important as is lead training .

Gundogs are bird dogs most have a good natural tendency to want to do what there meant to do . I have Gundogs mine catch & dispatch birds in the backyard its just reality in owning one . I expect it will happen & if there not interested its a bonus. Teaching to leave wildlife in general will be hard work no matter what breed & most likely a better solution is to have a dog yard set up that allows the dog time out from being over stimulated to the outdoors & a safe zone for when it needs it . Personally i would go English Pointer over a GSP any day of the week . GSP can also be very velcro,very vocal & destructive.

The key with licki mats or the likes is dont just give them when your going out some dogs figure it out quickly that they come with departure , Give them when home or when ever . As to products like everyone as mentioned choices are like a box of chocolates what works for one is useless on another . Vet drugs these days have come a long long way & we board numerous dogs on various prescriptions & no sleepy or zoombies

Any breed can get sep anxiety especially as many owners do not treat there dogs as animals & do everything for them or take them everywhere never teaching them life skills to be a independent & happy on there own when required . Some dogs that always had a mate may have rellied on that dog for its confidence. Some breeds are certtainly more velcro but good owners set them up for successs

Both breeds are great BUT 2.5 acres doesnt equate to being the right dog . Both breeds are smart,intelligient & need there brain enriched ,lots of land doesnt tick that box. Off the 2 i would say Flatties are calmer ,Vizslas are well known as velcro dogs . Flatties need brushing weekly . Both breeds will either openly invite strangers into the home & they love people or they may alert . Both breeds can be a nightmare if not enriched

As there at the age where there playing outside & learning about life they will get a good appetite quickly with all the new daily enrichment they should/are getting . Start getting them groomed trained for there new owners ,lead training all these things add such valuable tools to a puppies growth on life skills

why do you want a second litter?? Are you repeating the breeding? Did the first breeding produce quality pups(which you wont know until older). To be honest as a breeder we would be reluctant to breed a bitch that didnt get good milk or motherhood wasnt for them . Producing puppies is nothing compared to the factors of why i should be a bitch potentially again . If your registered then the rules are covered the the rules & regs. State laws may cover other aspects that you should be very aware off as a breeder especilly in NSW

Bowl of water yes BUT make sure its not a full bowl that they could drown . As someone who has bred small breed pups at 4 weeks some eat like gusto some dont . Simple reality is there is no easy option ,raising puppies is hard work as you have found out & you need to teach with patience lapping & food . We generally use a spoon or our finger . When the penny drops it will happen .Fun and messy . Heat pad out BUT again be mindful of the air con if on & them not being in a drafty spot . Just be patient & feed time is like finger painting time sometimes you just have to let them go & they learn from it it. Warmish flannel & wet ones your best friend

I dont let my dogs go near other dogs full stop & it peeves me off bigtime that so many dog owners think there dog can do what it wants whether onleash or offleash My dogs are showdogs,well behaved around dogs & have the etiquette of good behaviour at many events,vet waiting rooms etc . Im lucky to have a great Lake to wlk around thats onleash only but still have to deal with the odd numpties with extender leads . Also offleash NEVER means i want your dog to come over . For me offleash means a place i can take my dog & be offleash for me it never means my dog is entitled to go do what it wants whilst offleash to other dogs . Luckily i dont frequent offleash places due to so many stupid dog owners . And my other peeve extender leads where stupid owners let them to the end & think its funny wrapping around your legs or my dogs legs if i didnt step in & take action . Dog parks have no etiquette & most people there dont even bother to read the local council dog act of what "offleash " means & what is reportable . Most dog owners should be fined more often And before the do gooders who will go on about dogs will be dogs umm no thats an excuse for owner failure . People who just make excuse after excuse for why there dog did something in the moment . My current old boy loves his walks,doesnt care about other dogs just likes to mind his own business & watch the birds that give him more high value pleasure BUT he does have a medical issue so i am very mindful when idiots allow there dogs to "just " approach without a care in the world that the other dog may be deaf,blind,partially blind.old,medical issue . Those dogs are entitled to the same wonderful life pleasures as the dog park or offleash dogs minding there own business. Most of my friends have brought chect cam videos off amazon for walking there dogs incase there is an issue & its reported to the council

We have used farex for near 30 yrs at the 3/4 week stage never had any issues . Used on breeds that would be similar size to the op pups which is small . Farex is used by many successfully with goats milk and becomes a good intro to food. We don't start meat until they have mastered the farex stage as there so small and then we absolutely use mince and many other options by then . When we had our large breed pups it was the polar opposite in what they could eat safely . I would not give a tiny breed a bone until way older . As a note a friend very successful Pom breeder lost a pup at 3/4 weeks as they opted to do the meat suggestion and pup was to small and not ready & choked to death . Small breeds do need a common sense approach

We start our puppies on human baby farex and goats milk. The RC puppy mousse is a good option in your case . . Syringing your way is hard and not ideal but it's working I guess .

Dont go crazy with foods & additivies on the bitch ,you need to take a step back with everything & think logical . What she eats can go into her milk & through her & affect the pups so adding everything on top of the meds shes getting needs to have a common sense approach . We have solely bottle feed numerous pups due to lack of milk,mother refusing,top ups . The time frame its taking you to feed the 2 pups is way too long . Does this syringe have a teat on the end or are you just dripping the milk in ?? We can feed 6/8 in that time . Pooping after meals is not a regular thing we just wee them . Being on formula should not mean the runs unless it doesnt agree with them . Our pups had terrible runs on wombaroo & no one really uses it anymore & divetalact was tno better . Hence why we use goats milk the closest to mums milk . The old hands still use carnation milk . I would still be trying the bottle or looking at whelping supplies webpage for premmie/small dog teats

We never use wombaroo. We use premmie teats and bottle feed every 2 hrs . Every 8 hrs is not a choice . We have also tube feed and it is not easy and gas big issues if done wrong and it's very easy to do wrong . There a plenty of old recipes that can be used but that's based on the fact your savvy and the vet is savvy . Both pups aren't gaining weight in the manner I would expect and if her milk is low neither will thrive . We use goats milk with thickened cream added and bottle raised countless pups BUT there feed on a regular schedule. We have used special brews when required to get pups up j going but this is after our vet being involved a breeder vet . Some pups can be bad suckers especially when getting dehydrated and going flat . The runs may be due to the milk formula,her milk may be going blah . But bottle feeding will happen you have to keep on top off it and not over feeding some pups are hard work but 8 hrs is not going to head help . Vet still sounds like a nob . But
