I have been told by a couple of vets that there is no need to heartworm test a dog under 6 months old. I have also been told by the same vets that the annual heartworm injection and the monthly tablets are used to treat mild cases of heartworm.

I had this discussion with my vet about 6 months ago and he said at the time, that he has not seen a case of heartworm in this area for over 2 years :rolleyes:

I always thought Prozac for dogs was Clomicalm - am I right? -
Do You Clip Your Own Doggie?
jemappelle replied to Becky in Oz's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I clip my long-haired dogs. I had a Shih Tzu and had a groomer come to the house a few times and she showed me what to do. Sometimes the clips are pretty tragic (too short) but it is only 2 weeks between a bad haircut and a good one I now have a Poodle x that I had professionally groomed by a friend and she explained to me what to do so I have done her myself this time. I use Wahl clippers and really like them. I also clip my old Persian cats -
I thought it was meant for stripping out the undercoat I am still waiting for my Cav girl to grow enough coat so must admit I haven't used mine yet

Help Ear Tips Flipping Backwards

I like his ears the way they are - he is unique Here is a photo of a foster pup I had where both his ears curled backwards. As an adult both ears are upright. -
So sorry for your loss Mr and Mrs Roz. the old doggies are the best and are lucky that they have you to take them on to give them a lovely end to their life. RIP Jump, run fast and free

A vet in Wollongong told me they had an 8 week old kitten in with tick paralysis about 3 weeks ago. The rain has brought the tick season on early this year.

I have a Poodle x rescue girl that is about 10 years old. She chews everything! Yesterday she chewed the rescue pup's 2 squeeky toys up in about 5 minutes! She was a woman with a mission to watch! She has lovely teeth

I would use what the manufacturer recommends as the products do seem to differ. They may be crying if they are hungry or have wind - with the kittens I always rub their backs and tummies gently and sometimes get a little burp.

I am not sure about the quantities for tube feeding puppies - sorry. Are there instructions on the formula you are using? However if you put this in the Breeder's Forum I am sure you will get heaps of replies. Are the puppies gaining weight steadily?

There was a thread in rescue a few months ago on an Australian product called Meat E Vites. I saw the product a couple of weeks ago at our local pet food supplier and bought a bag - 20 kg for $22. The dogs love it and are doing really well on it!!!

I agree, or coat it in something bitter or unpalatable. I have a foster here that is chewing the ends of the cross beams on the verandah :cool: I am going to try spraying vinegar on the ends. I have a yard full of chewed up toys and other things (including wooden garden stakes) so don't know why she has picked these!

I remember seeing this old fellow at Renbury, he was in dreadful condition physically but still wagging his tail. Thank you Scruffy for making the last 9 weeks of his life good ones. RIP Rastus, run fast and free
