What about sticking on some pin-stripes or campervan decals at dog head-height? I stuck some on to the doggie-door as Henry couldn't see it when it swung back and clocked him on the head after one of the other dogs went through something similar to these here and I like these and selection from Autobarn some bird ones could be placed in a row

what's the % of tapioca in that salmon roll NandK? Tapioca is empty calories and used as a filler in dog food, it's low on nutrients and probably the best use for it is as wallpaper glue Why anyone would put it in dog food beggars belief, surely sweet potato or pumpkin as a filler would be more beneficial Stop dicking around with trying different diets, bite the bullet and take him to a specialist

@Rappie a question for you that you may be able to answer please; is there an alternative or generic medication that can be used instead of Propalin?( in this case it's urinary incontinence in a dog, not a bitch) It appears that both my dogs need it now so the hole in my hip pocket is becoming bigger

I had a quick Google and this is what came up on some of my searches: Preventing Cherry Eye (https://www.smalldoorvet.com/learning-center/medical/cherry-eye-in-dogs/) Cherry eye in dogs is unpreventable. However, if you know that your dog’s breed is predisposed to developing cherry eye, get in the habit of regularly looking at your dog’s eyes for signs of irritation, redness, or unusual swelling. The breeds of dogs predisposed to cherry eye also tend to be predisposed to other ocular conditions like entropion, distichia, and dry eye. Regular observation of your dog’s eye could help you catch another condition even if your dog never develops cherry eye. https://www.canidae.com/blog/2010/06/what-causes-cherry-eye-in-dogs-and-how-to-correct-it/ It’s not understood why some dogs get cherry eye, but it’s thought the cause could be from a parasite, some kind of bacterial infection, dermatitis, possible sun damage, cancer, fungal infection or it could be a result of a problem with the dog’s immune system. Whatever the case, cherry eye is hereditary, so it’s best not to breed a dog that has developed this condition. Can you breed a bulldog with cherry eye? If a dog has a case of cherry eye that calls for surgery, experts advise against breeding the dog. The reasoning is that whatever the physical conditions are that caused the cherry eye (too much flesh behind the eyelids, loose eyelid skin, etc.)Feb 12, 2014 Is the puppy from a registered breeder? (ie Dogs Victoria)

I edited my post before that post to add the info about sticking a new bottom onto the dog-beds but I obviously didn't edit correctly (senior moment) so I copied and pasted it correctly along with the asterisks for clarity, the post should have read; if you want cheap dog beds you can try KMart, though I find I need to sew or stick (with contact adhesive*) a piece of material like a curtain from the op-shop on the bottom as it's usually made of that non-lasting shopping bag stuff so it ends up in little black flakes after a year or so. They have free shipping over $45 at the moment https://www.kmart.com.au/freeshipping and snuggly dog beds here * this is the most economical way to buy contact adhesive can of adhesive or in the cartridge (you need the cartridge gun but they're not dear) cartridges

Hi Deeds, I feel that you have posted here to reinforce the decision you are close to making. It appears you cannot have tried harder to help your boy. There comes a time to say goodbye and though it will break your heart, your boy is not happy and you will need to make your decision soon. If there was an end to his seizures in sight or if the medications are working you would have good reason to continue but he seems to be getting worse. Remember...it's all about the dog and his happy life, he doesn't have one at this time. Most of us here have said goodbye to our besties, and though it's hard we all know that it is the last thank you for being in my life we have given them. B

I can't find that original post in the Dandie page but there as an update, as you see she is managing well and is happy so hang in there and Google search for 'ways to help your blind dog' Hello Everyone, I'm Lexie and today is my 11th Birthday. I had a piece of Dad's toast & marmalade at breakfast and then Dad took me out for a nice walk. We went down the road to the green and Dad put one of the streachy leads on and I had a nice trot on the grass. When I had got to the end of the lead, Dad call me and I had to find him. He said I was his clever girl. When we got home, Mum brushed me and took me outside and sat me on a chair for a while. Later, my daughter Fudge said, " If you had seen what Mum put on you, you would not have sat still on the chair" ! She goes on to say: Thank you all for the Birthday comments, can't stop as I can hear Mum rattling the food bowls. I'm with Dad in his 'office' making sure he does the spelling right . I'm sure I've got something delicious, so must get Dad to carry me downstairs. Don't tell him, but I'm sure if I put my mind to it I could find my way down Love from Lexie, have a Happy Easter xxx

Google 'blind dog halo' this is one type---> https://www.handicappedpets.com/walkin-blind-dog-halo/ I am a member of the Dandie Dinmont FB page and there are posts from the owner of a blind Dandie (some Dandies have Glaucoma and require eye removal) who is also a member, her Dandie copes very well (usually well-able to find a sunny spot) I will try to find a post from her today and edit this to pop in the link The main thing is to not stress too much about your little one, they can handle blindness...just don't move furniture around. Also search for 'making a scent trail for blind dog' there are some very useful tips

Oooo, you lucky thing, old dogs are just the best! and lucky dogs to have such a loving owner...they probably received recommendations from dog friends and Dolers Congratulations

Warning...before you click on this link in The Guardian ...there is a confronting picture of Yulin market Link to article here

I'm so sorry DDD, you will miss her so much, she has been part of the Dogz family for so long, what a grand little one she was. She will have the best company over the bridge and her tummy will always be full and her food bowl will always be licked clean. B xxx

if you do decide to make Calendula tea you can buy ginormous big bags of Calendula petals here (1kg of dried petals=really big bag) https://countrypark.com.au/shop/?product=calendula-petals what is also helpful is to massage Calendula-infused almond oil (you can make this yourself) into his skin, add drops of lavender oil as it's beneficial as well. The above tips are useful in soothing the skin and help very well in fungal infections, Calendula is marvellous though I feel that you should bring out the 'big guns' and take him to a specialist first, finding the source is the first step. Many vets put the itchy dog on Apoquel + antibiotics first as the Apoquel lessens the itch and the AB's clear up any bacterial infection that is usually present, this gives the body time to repair then one can start on finding the exact cause. (fungal, allergies (including contact allergies) bacterial or even household cleaners) I am a little concerned with what the pest-man has been using as well. Do you have this in your yard? link to Google images dogs love to lie on it as it feels cool and soft let us know how you go

Vets All Natural have a mix, sort of like a savoury muesli, you soak it overnight and mix with the raw meat, it tries to mimic the gut content of animals that dog ancestors have killed. It will give your dog the essentials that you are concerned he might miss out on. I give it to my lot and they love it. Free postage as well (there is probably slightly cheaper elsewhere but I have found this company very good. Budget pet products are ok but their free postage is only selected areas) https://www.vetsupply.com.au/vets-all-naturals/b2077.aspx the puppy mix is on special https://www.vetsupply.com.au/dog-food/complete-mix-for-puppies/pet-foods-pack-1730-7119.aspx and all about Vets all natural https://vetsallnatural.com.au/

I thought it was dog food Teebs was talking about, I'm more concerned about dog food and meds, bugger the humans

I buy most of my stuff from VetSupply.com.au or vetnpetdirect.com.au or vetshopaustralia.com.au their cost may be a little dearer but they often have free postage and are Australian owned (so is Pet Circle but they don't deliver free to my area even though it's right next to Redland Bay, they use a courier, not Australia Post)

@Westie mum used to feed her wonderful Mac with blue cheese mixed with other stuff, hopefully she will come here to suggest some of her recipes. You could also try chopped chicken meat that is lightly fried...just at the stage where the outside is brown but still really soft, you can lightly flour it so it browns better (IGA have whole chickens for $3.90 at the moment) I didn't realise Hamish was so crook, just awful for him and you

Hamish may like tinned mackerel, it's around $2.50

Hi suziwong66, can't help as my vet is near Victoria Point but it's lovely to see you back B

I understand SG, Wee Saffy was sick with cancer in her bones around her sinus, it's so exhausting and worrying with no good outcome in sight and you don't realise how mentally debilitating it is until you have said goodbye. I am sorry about your dear Patty

O no! that's just too sad SG I am so sorry, I know that you have fought and fought for her.
