@colliehound, there is an old post here that may be of help, not exactly your brand but may be close and here and there is a PDF download at the end of this link

both of those ideas make sense though the wee boy gets combed after his oiling (which makes him sort-of twitch with delight) I will try the F10 shampoo though as it seems to be taking forever to get his skin back to pink. There is still new hair poking through especially on his front legs and back, it's amazing how resilient hair follicles are

My foster, Wee Maxi still has black skin on most of his body, this is caused by a long term untreated fungal infection. I have been oiling him regularly with Keri oil, I infused it with dried Calendula petals. His black skin is dotted with pink spots of healthy skin on his chest, tummy and on his back near his tail but interestingly the skin under his collar is nearly all pink. Does anyone here know why this is so? The only reason I can think of is that the temperature of his skin may be a smidgen higher to the rest of his body and the fungal infection may not thrive in that area and here's a photo of him just because he's a sweetie

wot she says

maybe this link here NandK https://www.dogsqueensland.org.au/members/paw-prints-latest-news/

what fun for you there will be two Westies there as well as two Dandies...one of which is probably Gavin , if you give them a pat just don't pat their top-knots, it takes ages to get them just right If the owner of the Dandies is not busy I am sure she will help with any questions if you tell her it's your first show ever

I see you are in Qld so it may be a plan to contact the Qld ad in this link https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/mature/rottweiler.asp

A can of personal insect repellent (like the stinkin' Aldi one that looks like Aerogard) is better than citronella, it will choke anything if it's sprayed in the attacking dogs direction. If you remove the spray nozzle and fit the nozzle from a WD40 spray can ( cut the straw to about 1/3 of its length and insert it in the little hole) it will give a more directional spray. edited to add that a spray up the attacker's nose will stop it in it's tracks

as long as a reputable rescue has him he may now have a chance to get better

is this little one out of the pound and with rescue yet? @Powerlegs

whew, thanks PL,I hope that they are a good rescue. I know that Qld Westie rescue gets NSW dogs flown up this way occasionally (my Wee Maxi is a Sydney boy)

@westiemum maybe you can contact NSW Westie rescue (I would imagine that Qld Westie Rescue are aware anyway as he's on the local Westie groups page) https://www.campbelltown.nsw.gov.au/AnimalsandPets/LostAnimals/33068?fbclid=IwAR2jHLIrARU-IwRisPJdndWPjgzV_8Z51dEqjvBhJFZjS9QSZHDWqXA1LhM 33068 Terrier X.

good dogs!

I'm going to pop this here as there may be Dolers in the area, it was posted on the Camping with Dogs FB page yesterday's post: Firstly thank you to everybody who has shared from my FB page as this page doesn't allow sharing of posts and if the person who printed a flyer out and put it at the NT/QLD border, thank you so much. The love and support from everyone has meant so much to us. Our Kelpie has been found 20km from camp towards Mt Isa traveling back towards camp along the hwy. She hasn't been injured but is still exhausted today and is resting up. Masi our 15 year old staffy cross is still missing and we would like to offer a reward of $1,500 with no questions asked for his return. He is an extremely loved family pet. Please call Riitta on 0428 980 808 or DM me through messenger. Thank you again to everyone Hello everybody. My parents are camping 60km north of Mt Isa (The mount isa Camooweal road rest area) towards NT border. At approximately 8pm last night their two dogs (kelpie and staffy) were stolen. These people could be headed south towards Mt Isa or further or north to towards Darwin i the Nortjern Territory. If anybody is traveling i these areas and see dogs matching these two could you please DM me. Thank you to everyone in advance Today's post: Last seen north of Mt Isa at Camooweal road rest area towards the NT border.

I am so sorry LMO, what a dear little dog. She will be so happy to see Danny again, what fun they will have. darling Tamar, you were such a loved dog, at home and here on Dogz ❤

maybe this one will tide you over until the K-9 ones come in. These are free postage https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-city/pet-products/large-portable-pet-dog-crate-cage-kennel-grey-new-free-post/1165525584

A bit of an ambiguous ad as the first sentence says: Here at K9+ Soft Dog Crates we have been designing and selling crates directly to dog owners since 2006 to provide what we believe to be the best value in Australia. They don't say they make them but that sentence does give you that impression

I can't recommend any but had a look and there are these, made in Australia, they are not as cheap as Kogan or ebay but look pretty sturdy. The prices are there when you click on the model at the top of the page. http://k9softdogcrates.com.au/crates/caprice

I find the set-up of the page irritating to read but is still interesting https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-20/puppy-scams-cost-australians-1.3m-but-victims-are-fighting-back/12611646?nw=0

Dogzfevr, that would be Westie Heaven

Hello there Ruby's Hooman, regarding Ruby's skin problems, message Amanda at Qld Westie Rescue facebook page https://www.facebook.com/westierescueqld/ or email her here: https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/member.asp?name=REDINBRIN she will advise you on diet (Westies do better on raw) she has had many bad-skin Westies come through that have responded well to her care. Amanda will most likely give you her phone number so you can phone her at a specified time. You could also ask he about your new pup's breeder, she keeps a data-base in her head of the not-so-good ones Good luck, B.
