Sa Dog Owners Of Medium To Large Breeds.
sparkycat replied to Esky the husky's topic in General Dog Discussion
I see it says a collar and lead - would a harness that clips at the shoulders be ok - Jaana slips collars all the time ! Hope the weather is better than today -

Cookie - Dumped Kitten
sparkycat replied to k9angel's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
Cookie is a very lucky kitten thanks to you k9angel. I am just watching remarkable vets and they had kitten with an abcess on its back -it lost the use of its back legs for a while but is now almost back to normal -
I think it is important to remember that there are good and bad breeders of pedigree, cross- breeds and mutts. To me all dogs are equal and they all deserve an equal chance in life.

sparkycat replied to barkon's topic in General Dog Discussion
Great photo - they all look very comfy -
We do it every year and really enjoy it. There is a great mix of people, dogs, ferrets and other animals.

What's Your 10 Second Info Grab?
sparkycat replied to SkySoaringMagpie's topic in General Dog Discussion
Me "Yes she is pretty" then Jaana will usually howl "I'm a Finnish Lapphund" :laugh: most people get the herding reindeer in Finland part but some do ask why I have one in Adelaide. -
Would You Feed Treats A Random Dog At The Dog Park?
sparkycat replied to ❤LovesPoodles❤'s topic in General Dog Discussion
I don't take treats to the park and I sometimes wish others wouldn't either. I have a very fluffy cute friendly dog who has perfected the "beg". What people don't realise is that she has a very long memory too and once she gets a treat she doesn't forget and will howl if she doesn't get anymore. I do ask people not to give her treats and most people listen. I did have a very scary incident when she choked because someone gave her a treat after she had been doing zoomies. -
We have a cat called Fugly and another called Floud - my vet thought Floud was a very sweet name until I explained it :laugh:

Yes it does effect me . We had a really beautiful deerhound who we lost to bone cancer just before his 5th birthday. It was heartbreaking and although I love giant sighthounds I don't think I could go through the bone cancer risk again. So when we were looking for another dog I looked for a breed that was healthy and long lived.

Well said - I agree

Try Coprice - it was great for our deerhound and wolfie X
-
Love it !
-
Try hemorrhoid cream - Anasol or Rectonol - it is thick, tastes horrible, is an antiseptic and anaesthetic. Our deerhound split the end of his tail and Anasol was the only thing that stopped him licking it. We now use it for all dog wounds.

Stopping Licking Pulling Stitches Out ?
sparkycat replied to sparkycat's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
She has settled down a bit now but she managed to pull the bucket off a couple of times- thats the problem with having a neck bigger than a head -
Keely my wolfie x BC had a large lump removed from under her front armpit last week. I had put a teeshirt on her but last night she managed to pull open the wound, so she had to get it restitched today. She now has a vet bucket on but is not at all happy I think it scares her. She is fear aggressive at the best of times. So any other ideas on how to stop her getting at the stitches ?

I like dogs and cats equally but I find cats easier to understand. And my Ocicat retrieves a ball much better than either of my dogs do :D

Our deerhound Mungo was a terrible crotch sniffer- one morning OH went out to get the paper and Mungo got a female jogger front on - the female stopped and asked OH if she could buy Mungo as it was the effort a male had made for years - poor OH was speechless !

Sounds like a normal predator - my cats have a run so they only catch small lizards - however my dogs frequently get birds, rats and mice !
