    Knuckling Over

    in Puppy Chat

    Posted

    I wouldn't be giving calcium supplements as that would be accelerating the bone growth, the soft tissue can't keep up so you get knuckling over as the skin and muscle etc pulls against the bone growth. Go to a good quality adult food.

    Hi. Can you please tell us where this is in relation to the old ground. I can not locate Holm Park Reserve on google maps.

    Thanks :)

    Cnr of Beaconsfield - emerald Rd and Holm Park Rd. From old grounds continue along Beac/Emerald Rd it is on the right. It's about half way between Old Princes Hwy and Payne Rd.

    Vet Recommendation Needed

    Mountain Gate Vets on Burwood Hwy Ferntree Gully. Husband and wife practice, extremely caring and very reasonable pricing.

    Used to go to Boronia vets but got sick of the upselling, I found they became very expensive (teeth clean there was over $350 but at Mt Gate only $160)and got sick of being treated like I knew nothing (I was probably handling animals personally and professionally long before most of them were born.) I will admit they have all the facilities for more complicated problems.

    Have to wonder if they will eventually look at RSPCA and their kill rate (won't hold my breath).

    I have heaps of customers who comment how hard it is to adopt through most rescue places so they give up, so many are refusing people for stupid petty reasons (one lady couldn't take her other dog to a meet & greet because it gets terrible car sickness, so turned down, her other dog is absolutely loved and doted on), so then these people look to pet shops that sell animals as they don't know any better as to where else to go.

    Looking For Breeder Of Adopted Rescue Dog

    Michelle would be so pleased to know that one of her breeding is now in good hands, no matter how well you screen your new puppy homes circumstances can change or things just go wrong.

    Absolutely. Some people are very good at saying yes and no to all the right things and sometimes, sadly, you can do everything right and screen prospective owners til the cows come homw and still be taken in by a liar. I'm sorry that she had to hear what he's been through because I know that would have been difficult.

    Happy now that she knows he is in a loving, caring home. And may I just add, she seems a delightful person lol :) :thumbsup:

    Yep Michelle is awesome, lovely person, really cares about her dogs.

    Raw Food Puppy- Diarrhoea !

    in Health / Nutrition / Grooming

    I mostly give him carrot and brocolli, sometimes cauliflower.

    I will try doing as suggested, splitting uo the veggies into 3 meals etc and reducing coconut oil. But for now I will stick with the boiled chicken and brown rice for a couple of days and then add chicken necks back in, then some veggies but cooked ones. Does that sound ok?

    The great news is that George just did another solid poo that isn't too dark and not too light! So that's now 2 days of normal stools after 4 days of diarrohea! Hope it continues so I can start trying out all of the great advice from everyone and get him back on raw. Other than chicken necks, what bones are people giving their little pups? I don't want to break his teeth or choke him but he seems to cope beautifully with chicken necks. And also, do butchers tend to do the right sort of bones? We are on a mostly vegan diet these days due to my daughter having cancer so we are all super healthy now, so the whole meat on the bone thing is probably easier if I make friends with a butcher, yes??

    Try the butcher in Beaconsfield next to pet shop, remember the brown rice with the meat as mentioned.
