whippets are pretty popular too.

I love her funny little John Howard eyebrows. that made me google howard and eyebrows and look what I found, what is it about Australian PM's and their eyebrows? http://www.zimbio.com/Australian+Prime+Min...coward+eyebrows

Whippet, of course Italian Greyhound Cirneco dell'Etna red miniature poodle If we're allowed to have wild breeds wolf coyote fox, I know, it's not a dog. African Hunting dog Yes, I realise they're all completely impractical and impossible I'll have to think about the rest the other pets I'd like to have are the old fashioned siamese a bengal a ferret or two and I'd like to mate Pagan with a Welsh D and the following year with an Andalusian Oh, nearly forgot a cockatiel, that would always be loose and would sit on my shoulder, and maybe some other kind of parrot. of course none of this is going to happen.

It's quite possible, I mentioned that in a previous post. I am fully aware of that but until I can see more evidence the vet wont medicate as it stands now. My dogs are with me almost 24/7. I can only base it on what I have seen. I know you are just trying to make me aware and not worry me deliberately, thanks, but there's nothing I can do about it just yet. I still have not actually ever seen him have a fit. I watched my horse smash his head to pieces having a fit, I know how devastating it can be....sadly. but so far Tags appear, only from what I have seen, to be few and far apart. I know that could change, but then again, maybe he will never have another. I hope so. It's worrying though.

What a dimwit, and to do that to whippets Send her an email to this thread.

You saw it happening though, I've not seen that with Tag, I think I've only seen the post ictal phase, learned that term today, so we dont really know as yet just what we are dealing with. I am sure yours is the right decision for your situation.

Because Tags seizures appear to be so infrequent. We both realise I might not have seen every one but the last one I know of before the other days was just over a year ago. They're just too far apart.

I think each time I've found Tag like this I was seeing him in the post ictal phase. I know it's not the same as people but I looked up seizures in humans and nausea was listed as a symptom in the "before" phase and the post ictal. I didn't mean I thought Tag was vomiting during his fit, I first noticed it last year when I found him wandering and confused, I assume post ictal, and he was mid vomit on the carpet, which is what woke me up in the first place. Whether vomiting is a symptom or not, it doesn't really change anything for Tag, something is going on with him. I just hope they dont become more frequent or severe. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice, I appreciate it.

Tag? He's fine, you'd never know anything happened to him. Thanks for asking.

what a lush healthy garden that is!

What a stoic old girl she must be to not really show alot of pain symptoms in the first place. I hope she has an uneventful recovery.

Any of the Canon in the XXXD range, so from the 450D to the 550D, oh and the 1000D. Alot of DOLers have these cameras and they're all good. I dont know about Nikon but they're good too. Look here, you can see the cameras and what sort of photos they all take by exploring a bit. http://www.flickr.com/cameras/ wow, I just had a look myself and the most popular camera according to their graph is the Apple Iphone 3G!!!!!

thanks goodness something positive has come out of this for that poor little donkey.

Persephone takes beautiful photos with hers.

Actually no, it doesn't look like a Shiba Inu to me either, more huskyish or something............

This dog is a little sweetie, she is timid with some of the dogs but Luuka is very gentle with her. Gorgeous pics all of them but this pic is incredibly sharp! What did you do to get it so sharp?

I love those little red poodles redangel. What colour do they call it. Where is that landscape Weibritty, did you take a trip to Venus or something?

I've just checked back on my records, first suspected fit was 6/4/09, 2nd 9/4/09, 3rd accompanied by vomiting, 30/7/09 and the 4th was last night and I found a pile of vomit outside. Dont know if it's relevant. One DOL'er said epilepsy doesn't cause vomiting but I'm noting it anyway. I'm going to take these dates into the vets today and ask them to record them on his file.

do you mean Copper?

Waaay too young for dementia then. Just googled "canine night terrors" - points towards epilpesy. can you point me to the link, I tried and only got three hits and none were related to canine epilepsy. I got the impression he seemed to be partially blind last night, or certainly his vision was affected. I hadn't noticed that with the other time.

He will be 6 in September. They are definite "funny turns" with a clear ending of that behaviour and he goes back to normal. As far as I know it's been over a year since he had one.

HUH?!! what on Earth is this, I've never heard of it. I dont think my dogs have been eating anything out of the ordinary. When I got up this morning Tag seemed fine but he must have done a wee in the bathroom, the first time anyone's messed inside overnight since they learned to use the doggy door. I know just after his funny turn he didn't want to use the door so I assume it's him who had the accident. I also noticed when I went outside that someone vomited, I'm guessing that was poor Taggy too. He's back to his normal happy self now though.

No, 5 in the bed is just too many. He has a couch that he sleeps on and I tuck him in every night under a doona. He's allowed to come in for cuddles in the morning though. I've been to check on him twice since I wrote about his fit and he seems OK, just laying there quietly. I hope he doesn't start having them alot.

My poor boy Tag, I am pretty sure he's just had another fit. Once again I didn't see or hear anything and this time I was awake. I'd just turned my lamp off after reading a bit in bed when he came in and jumped on the bed. He's not supposed to do that but even before I turned the light on I could tell by his movements in the dark he was frightened and stressed. He was coming to me for help. I got up and lifted him off the bed and as I did he splayed his legs when I put him on the floor, like he was frightened he'd fall, or couldn't quite tell which way was up. He wanted to go outside but wasn't able to negotiate the doggy door so I helped him outside. He did his business and came in but was anxious and sort of trotting in a funny crouching way, as if he thought he'd fall. I put him to bed and he seemed comforted to be somewhere warm and safe. His heart wasn't racing, he just seemed confused and frightened. I think he had two fits fairly close together sometime around April last year. I've got it written down somewhere (on vets advice) I've never actually seen him having one, just the aftermath when he is wobbly and confused. From what the vet told me then they wont medicate unless they become alot more frequent. I will have a talk to him tomorrow though and let him know I think Tags had another.

That's not true. You do get the Canon warranty when you order online from an authorised Canon dealer. It is only when you order from a non-authorised Canon dealer that you need to check on the warranty included :D Is this like Teds who sell online as well. I wasn't meaning them I was thinking more of places like DWI, Cameras Direct and DPP etc. If you dont mean Teds and other retailers who also sell online, then PLEASE share your sources.
