how old is the pup now?

Red Riding Hood Colourful Past Roses Are Red Violets Are Blue

what makes you think the dog is allergic to grain? As for the food, start with a small bag of the first one and keep going until you find the one that the dog likes and does well on. Very simple really.

finally!

My greyhounds do brilliantly on minced chicken carcasses and supermarket dry food. Tried all raw, tried expensive dry food. Found something they all do well on and have stuck to it.

a turkey leg is a meal for one of my nearly 40 kilo greyhounds, way too much for a whippet.

depends on whether you work or not. At that age mine would get either 3 or 4 meals a day. I would often given them a chicken wing to munch on when settling down for the night, not sure if that counts as a meal.

love the description :laugh:

if the tail keeps bleeding you will need to take Gus to the vet for a check up to make sure it is still clean and not becoming infected. You can check for yourself if you can keep his tail still enough for long enough to get a good look yourself. :D

me too :laugh:

The VCA won't publicise a FB page that it doesn't control nor should it. Fraught with danger there.

I'm interested in this as well

people get away lightly with murder, harsher penalities won't stop the idiots. It really needs to be drummed into people that dogs, of all breeds, sizes and ages, have the capacity to bite.

what breed?

If the coat is deep male dogs often pee on them. I think it is a bit unfair to bag someout here unless they are also a member. Right of reply and all that.

I use a heavy duty garbage bin with a locking lid. Nothing can get past that baby! Mind you it has always been in the house somewhere but it is a really thick plastic.

how true - I'll duck with you if I looked after myself they way I look after my dogs

yes, the Christmas card thread always creates good feelings and makes many people feel they count. We just need someone to collect then on send.

just use a ticking clock outside the crate/bed. IMO nothing saves a few sleepless nights, it's part and parcel of being a puppy owner :laugh:

I think the survey was to find out if fat and lazy owners had fat and lazy dogs.

My boy dog is extremely suspicious of any food he doesn't have to work for, because it's almost always a vegetable :laugh: :rofl:

It is not their call, it is not their dog.

I can't let this go unanswered. You do not know anything about the previous owners. I've had a dog with mange. Did you know it can be caused by stress? Did you know one type can be caught by a dog just by exploring wombat holes? Not that that is likely with this pup I grant you. The pup has a blood illness, according to vet, it might have been treated but somethings take time and in that time pup can look much worse. Pup could have been lost for a couple of days, combine that with all ready being ill and yes it won't look too good. Do Not assume.

Well, the vet was going to put her down there and then.... and she is not registered or chipped. I will suggest they call the pound and see what to do about it, she is in pretty bad form by the sounds of it, do pounds look after the medical side of things in the mean time? the vet was in the wrong as well and if pup is only 8 weeks old might not have had time to be chipped. By the sounds of things the pup is just a stray but as pup does have some health problems it could make her look like she is unwanted. No way to know. I don't know what happens in NSW pounds but does you friend really want a sick dog to look after that may cost her a small fortune and be sickly all her life? Sound harsh I know but................. Let the proper authorities look after the pup, your friend can put her name down to adopt if pup is deemed fit for sale. And if she is PTS then that might well be the best option for her.

pup needs to go to the pound. By keeping her your friend is basically stealing her.
