yes Diva, and it appears the meat came from the NT and was from horse meat though Maffra District Knackery co-owner Karen Backmann said it was only traces (maybe she's telling fibs, who knows? ) here's an ABC update, it is sad reading: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-02/pet-food-crisis-deepens-with-spotlight-on-horses-recalls/100340698

maybe this firm may be able to set you on the right track @Adrian Emslie, I reckon there's no harm in contacting them https://lawyersforcompanionanimals.com.au/

Today PrimeSafe and Agriculture Victoria announced indospicine as the cause of the animals' liver failure https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-21/victorian-dog-death-toxin-revealed/100311346

hummm; didn't hurry to recall that meat did you? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-20/maffra-knackery-backmans-meats-dog-food-recall/100306624

I remember when you first posted about her T, then she became one of the Dogz regulars. We will miss the updates you posted about her but she will have some great chums over the bridge. You will miss her so much, I do feel for you. B xx

@Isa B are these ones the same? https://www.holisticanimalphysio.com.au/product/black-dog-infin-8-collar-haltermate/ and https://horseandhound.net.au/shop/infin8-halter-2/

@tdierikx put me on to F10 shampoo as she uses it for her bad-skin rescues, it's pretty good excellent I found that Vet Products Direct was the most economical place to buy Here's the linkie to the product---> F10

You are good to answer Lena's question I'm afraid that Lena's Akita may have passed over the bridge by now as she was 5 when the post went up in 2011

@vikik1968 A little terrier called Charlie---> https://www.facebook.com/PAWSBrisbane/

@coneye no offense meant but can you please limit the use of commas in your posts, it makes it really difficult to read, thank you from B

righto T, I'll do that @vikik1968, the FB link to All Westie Rescue in Victoria is here find older Westies for sale by breeder here ...only one at the moment for sale from a lovely woman who was the previous owner of one of my older girls, Maria's dogs are so looked after! and check that the breeder is legitimate here as there have been quite a few scams involving Westies lately. Go to shows and speak to breeders, you will find shows advertised here sometimes beside each show listed there is a symbol, click on that and there will be a list of dogs entered for that show Good luck with your search B

a cheap idea to save any animals that may fall in to a pool.

One nation Senator, Climate Change denier, Grade A nutter, thick as two short planks or a sack full of hammers can't say that I like him

have a look at this page https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/puppies/cocker-spaniel.asp also go to shows (you can find the events list here https://www.dogzonline.com.au/event-diary/list.asp and sometimes next to the event there will be 'BN' so click on that, it will show you what breed of dogs are entered) and talk to the owners If you cannot see the puppy in person and you are interested in a pup that has been advertised elsewhere make sure that you ask on the Puppy SCAM awareness AUST to see if it's legit https://www.facebook.com/groups/666467654086008/

Dr Google is a menace. Take your pup to the vet

I am so sorry SM, your dear Sasha, such a lovely dog such a big hole will be left in your heart xx

it seems when there are no close-up photos of the dogs they are always Pitt Bulls, as LG says just a mix of something including Labs, probably pig dogs of some sort. Anyway they are no longer here which is to be expected The whole episode is just so awfully sad https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-09/dog-attack-queensland-maryborough-put-down-euthanased/100200864

before you send any more funds ask if the breeder's site is legitimate on this FB group: Puppy SCAM awareness AUST https://www.facebook.com/groups/666467654086008/

I knew I had red an article somewhere recently so looked up my history and here it is (I don't know if it is any help though it may be worth your while to contact and see what Kath suggests) https://www.mcdowellsherbal.com/success-stories-for-dogs/1570-zena,-the-agility-performance-champion

have you contacted the Canadian Kennel Club and asked them for a list of breeders? https://www.ckc.ca/en/Choosing-a-Dog/Choosing-a-Breed/Herding-Dogs/Australian-Kelpie
