  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. I've heard great things about the Mars Coat King. Have a look at the link below for photos etc: http://www.groomersmall.com/coat_kings.htm
  4. I am so sorry for your loss Rozzie. Miss Jenny had style and went out with dignity. Rest easy lovely lady.
  5. What a beautiful girl Rest easy Cindy, run fast and free.
  6. Good luck with him Kamuzz. My nearly 5 year old ACD boy still does this
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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!!!
  14. 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!
  15. Run free and fast little Bronte
  16. 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
  17. What a lovely and fitting tribute. RIP Jenna, run free and fast :D
  18. Shih Tzus are a stoic breed and full of life. I bet he gave your mum a lot of laughs in the 3 years she had him. RIP Monty, run free and fast
  19. I would appreciate a PM with the details as well please. Mine came back worse than they went
  20. There are a few different things that help: hydrobath metal tooth comb (stripping comb with two rows of teeth of different lengths) wet rubber gloves curry comb (used for horses) it just depends on the type of coat she has as to what works best.
  21. So did that bone weigh about 2 kg Glad to hear his back home and hope he continues to go well.
  22. Erggghhhhh too much information Poor Hobbes. I hope his internal pieces start to work properly again soon.
