https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/queensland-vet-pinned-up-against-wall-after-showing-owner-the-bill-20200525-p54w0q.html Dr Bale is one of the veterinarians who will talk about the industry and mental health in the industry on an SBS Insight https://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/a-look-at-australia-s-veterinarian-crisis?cid=sbsnews:edm:newsam:relation:news:na:na Queensland vet pinned up against wall after showing owner the bill By Jocelyn Garcia May 25, 2020 — 7.38pm Veterinarian Dr Margie Bale saves a dog's life and is pushed up against a wall by the collar by the dog's owner. She operates on a horse in the middle of the night and receives a hurl of abuse by the owner over the bill. Dr Bale offers to help but asks for the fee and is judged and thrown out of a property by an owner. Queensland veterinarian Dr Margie Bale loved working as a clinical vet but the pressures of the job made her turn away from it. The stories of the pressures Dr Bale endured are endless, but not uncommon. Veterinarians are almost four times more likely to take their own lives than the general public, a 2018 Suicide in Australian veterinarians report says. A 2011 United Kingdom report, Measuring the mental health of the veterinary profession: psychometric considerations, also states they are twice as likely to die by suicide as other healthcare professionals. Dr Bale said she had enough of working at clinical practices after 20 years. She said at the age of 26, she was working in a sole practice on the Gold Coast. "I was on call for two-and-a-half years, working every day and being on call overnight," she said. "We’re happy to work with the animals and that's what we’re trained to do but unrealistic client expectations make it incredibly challenging." Dr Bale said she had treated a cattle dog with bowel problems in the middle of a night, operated on a horse who ran into a barbed wired fence until 2am one morning, and saved a Maltese terrier's life on another occasion. "It was about 11pm on a Saturday night and I got the call from a client - I could tell he had been drinking - about his Maltese terrier who had eaten an entire barbecue chicken," she said. "The dog couldn't breathe. I did what I had to do to help the dog and thankfully, it was a good outcome but I was dreading giving the owner the bill. "With that he launched into a huge tirade of abuse, saying that I was money hungry and that if I really cared that I would've done it for free." Dr Bale said he became more aggressive and grabbed her by the collar and pinned her against the wall. "I've never been assaulted before, I was just bewildered," she said. "I ended up talking him down and he left but the bill was never paid." Dr Bale said the abuse from clients about bills, the low wage and long hours made her walk away from practices. "Three colleagues [died of] suicide from pressures of being veterinarians," she said. "The pressures of running a clinic, the emotional intensity of the job, and people always questioning our ethics over handing the bill after saving their animals' lives - it wears you down." Dr Bale is one of the veterinarians who will talk about the industry and mental health in the industry on an SBS Insight episode at 8.30pm on Tuesday.

It's a good idea to keep charcoal and slippery elm capsules on hand for tummy upsets, you can open the capsules and sprinkle about 1/2 on some food or buy the powder if you choose that option. I usually buy mine from iherb as they have a good range and reasonable prices (click up the top to select Au) links here slippery elm slippery elm powder charcoal Google those herbal treatments to get a little more info about them and... poo discussions happen frequently here

Both your revolting fish stories made me laugh...it just wasn't your day! Poor you So glad his skin is much better, you are a good caring hooman (well apart from your fishy smell that is )

Maybe try a couple of these tablets an hour or so before grooming, I give two to Westie Henry (9.5kg) when I hear far-off thunder or see a storm coming on the radar, they work pretty well. Have a search on-line for your cheapest option including postage edited to add that you may be better trimming his legs with blunt-ended scissors which are less likely to stab him and don't have the scary noise of clippers, similar to these here Don't buy the Chinese brands from ebay as they don't cut. I haven't used these but they are made in France so maybe ok here and I have a pair similar to these which have lasted and lasted and probably can be bought at somewhere like officejerks here

can you right click and copy that link then paste it on a document as unformatted text? (or, if your 'paste' button has a 'paste without formatting' option) then copy that into your search-bar and go from there. You can paste it here as unformatted text also

What a marvelous sheep you were Bruce, what a legend to all who knew you. have fun in your new place, butting random stuff and where the pear trees have droopy branches full of yummy pears for you to scoff B xx

@Steve can you help? I have emailed you if this notification doesn't reach you

this post was on the Camping with dogs FB page so I thought I'd pop it up for those of you who needed long coats, the company is in North Richmond NSW and have a FB page as well as a web page Here Just wanted to share some jackets I recently purchased for my doggo that I thought others might like too, especially for winter adventures. I have heaps of trouble finding a jacket to fit my standard poodle. Long body, but narrow chested. If I find something to fit his length, it's too baggy around the neck and chest. If it's the right fit for his chest, it's too short. I need jackets that will fit over his hips as he has hip dysplasia (was a rescue pup). Anyway, found a place on a fb ad called Newmarket Saddlery (yep, a horse place) and they were advertising a flannel style jacket and an oilskin jacket for $19.95 each. Thought for that price they were worth a crack. They are wonderful. Excellent quality, little extra details like pintucks over the hips to stop the jackets sliding about. Finally found jackets that fit him properly!!! Not associated with Newmarket Saddlery, just thought they'd be of interest to some.

I can offer no help training-wise but after reading you opening post I am astounded that your little one failed puppy school No pup should fail puppy school! it's tantamount to saying a child who has failed kindy what a stupid stupid trainer. And... good on you for asking here and yay to those of us who get terriers, the best and varmity of dogs

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
