It's never too late to learn and all my dogs like to sleep in the crate, but seperately. It's not big enough for 2 greyhounds at a time

they get their 1st C3 booster at around 15 months, then maybe a parvo only vaccination twice more in the next 10 years.

Give them a break, I really feel sorry for the general puppy-buying public sometimes with all these "unwritten rules" about purchasing a pedigree dog. The email was polite and concise... must say I agree with Miss B. Way better then some I have had.

Mine was in Vicdog, they are in there every month. to Sir Sniffalot, it was a hard blow to wear in the first place, to find out it was your mother must make it so much worse

wire crate or a "bunnings" cage to keep him confined to a small area with a tarp or lino underneath and bedding on top

is this so she can be on the bed with your for a little bit each night? I think that's what you said in your other post. If it is for this reason I am not sure she would need any type of nappy on while you are awake and watching her. And now that the break has been made maybe it could confuse her even more to be let back on the bed. Maybe instead of the bed you could have quiet time on the lounge after the kids have gone to bed. If it is only stress that is causing her to wee in the wrong places then a routine that is sustainable for the long term, ie rest of the pregnancy and the breast feeding, might be the way to go. There are also proper doggy diapers you can buy very cheaply, I had a pair for when my bitch was in season but I have to confess I hated them on her, she looked so miserable so I chucked them in the back of the cupboard. :D Good luck with whatever you choose, not an easy time for either you or your girl.

doesn't really matter what they do, they still had their prefix first, it's not their fault. I too would have and will complain if someone else gets a very similar prefix to mine in the future. But the blame will be fairly and squarely laid at the feet of the governing body who can't seem to get their act together and do their job properly. I knew someone nearly 20 years ago that complained about a prefix being issued that was nearly identical to theirs, nothing was done in their case.

OP means original poster and the posts might not have been valuable to you but might be of assistance to others. Lots of people might read this wanting to know the same thing: what is good to put on a minor cut on their dog.

You were in the right, the moron was in the wrong.

Maybe next time then leave the advice to people who have a better idea of what they are talking about ;) I admit I know humans, but not animal wound care they you shouldn't be offering advice on matters that you know very little about then should you? I'm only saying the above to diffuse a situation you keep trying to push on and on yet supply no links or facts to support your claim. You state i basically killed the dog yet in the thread about dog parks you yourself state "have hit or kicked at least 3 dogs that have come close enough" and not come to their owners call back. are you really worried about a bit of salt in a wound? you really need to learn how to quote exactly what I said instead of putting your own slant on things. Half of the above is stuff you have made up in your own mind. eta fixed a word up

Maybe next time then leave the advice to people who have a better idea of what they are talking about ;) I admit I know humans, but not animal wound care apologies if i offended folks, i'll stick to humans ;) i'm just glad noone lost a life (i'm still struggling to find any information that states too much salt is bad for a cut) ;) Well, this wen`t a bit sour. I like Minimiss mention of "Dad Vodka on dog", i think maybe drink it. After all though the whole post ended up in confusion so leave it there. I`ll seek advice from an expert. I agree. Have PM'd you ;) well I certainly hope it wasn't about how to treat a dog's wound cause it's been shown you have no idea. I have reported this post as an unprovoked attack Rebanne, how about you just put me on ignore and stop replying or stay out of my way please, that was uncalled for. go for it, I am trying to prevent potential damage being done by someone following your advice, you admit you know nothing about treating animal wounds.

only because someone who has since admitted they have no idea was posting advice on how to treat dogs. Ask a vet or vet nurse what bathing a dogs eyes in salty water can do to the dog's sight if they get it wrong.

Didn't you just say you were a nurse no that's donatella

at least they got the ratio correct but they need to use a spell checker if they want to be taken seriously

The poor eyes... are u insane!! Id be using more luke warm tea.. don't worry salt water can cure everything don't worry about the stinging the dog has to endure

I have hit or kicked about 3 dogs over the years that have kept coming close enough to be hit. Most back off when you swish the riding crop around, they don't like the sound or they are unsure what is happening. I did also actually kick a dog who jumped up on my daughter as well when she was sitting/leaning on the back bumper of my car and she wore it's nail marks on her neck/chest for weeks. He was just saying hi.

educate you you're the 2 second expert on everything dog

sometimes but so do people and we don't pour heavily salted water onto their open wounds do we?

I am referring to you saying use a tablespoon of salt to a cup of water on a dog while you only use saline on a person. You need to be more careful giving out incorrect advice on forums.

do not pour salty water onto a wound like Donatella says. I don't care what the reference says, it is way too strong a mixture. I too am a nurse and human skin is actually tougher then dog skin and you wouldn't use such a strong solution on the vast majority of patients so why torture your dog?

I'll bite My dogs are perfectly capable of performing what they were originally bred to do, whilst being bred to the ANKC standard but unfortunately they aren't allowed to hunt deer etc anymore.

I sincerely hope for your dogs sake you never have to protect it.

I know someone who was biten by a dog who was wagging his tail... and humping can mean dominating
