Rebanne

no idea but if it's that bad report it and see if anything happens

I think you have to have it registered in your name at your home. If it escaped and ended up in the pound  you would be responsible for any and all fees, same if it caused damage. This would need to be written into the contract.

What’s the purpose of smaller dog breeds being treated differently for breeding than larger dog breeds? It’s not like the little ones mate with large dogs. What’s the difference? They need to cut out puppy farming but leave the papered experienced dog breeders alone, other than to make sure they aren’t becoming puppy farms etc. 

 

 

Litter size is the difference. You want to pick the best to breed on with. Easier to find one in a litter of 8 - 10 then in a litter of 1-3.

I no longer breed and have given up my DOL listings and website.

sorry but we must keep Australia rabies free.

I have always understood glaucoma to be extremely painful and, via google, this is what I turned up for humans (because someone told me his parents had glaucoma without experiencing pain or discomfort):

 

I've had 2 kidney stones, both with very minor symptoms. The specialist told me that I won the award for the biggest stone that year with my second one. And we all know having a kidney stone is supposed to be akin to giving birth.

My parents had a peke who had an eye removed because of a rose bush. No prosthetic. I used to nurse a woman with a prosthetic eye and yes needed daily maintenance. I don't know about dogs but hers was removed every night and replaced every morning. I wouldn't bother with a prosthetic.

One thing they said was 15 generations which I think is a mistake. There would be nearly 40 generations seeing as how it happened in 1986.

There is so much life surviving and may I say thriving around Chernobyl, it's fascinating

Exercise and cut her food slightly. Make sure the pups are not suckling from her

I'll send you a message LG

ETA Can't send you messages, can you send me one please. Do you have messenger because that's where I have all my info

we have tried a drug that is off label, so far off label it might have come from the moon. Just dribbled over the problem area and it has made a big difference in only 3 treatments. I was put onto this drugs use by a lady from overseas who has an Iggy plagued by the same things and even one in the same area.

I am not prepared to name it publicly and will not share with everyone who asks privately. I'm just glad my vet trusts me.

Great discussion with the vet, of biggest concern is that it  has already grown back. So a plan of management and when we can't stop the bleeding well...............................arrangements have been made.

Warrior was quite shaky in the back legs, of course he sleeps a lot at home, so I hadn't really noticed. He can still get on my bed which is most important to us both.

Surgery went well, removed 3 of the things. But one has come back. First noticed it Sunday evening. Going to the vet this afternoon. Has already leaked a bit of serous fluid. I can cope with that but not with a bleed that won't stop. I have a list of questions to ask. Warrior is otherwise fine for an older dog.

Gold morning

 

Why aren’t there photos advertised on some advertisements? And why isn’t the price advertised? How do you expect somebody to make an initial  personal judgement. All dogs need mention whether they can be transported. We don’t all live in Queensland !

I can't believe I know this @Rebanne but a Nerd is a little lolly.  

 

 

thank you @Powerlegs

I have no idea what size a NERD? is  Try a proper butcher if it's a common meat. Sometimes they will mince stuff for you.

I would think allergies are under illness

I'd be very careful with Bravecto on your pregnant girl. I'd treat the other 4 and then separate for 24 hours. I would use the ear drops on her.

I took all my pups out and about but in the car. We'd park at the supermarket and watch all the people or up the main street. Cause I showed my dogs right from the start ( 3 months) they met a lot of people and a few dogs. I was very selective of who my pups met, dog wise, not because of possible disease but more the temperament.

Have a look at McDowells herbal remedies. https://www.mcdowellsherbal.com/

well done! They look so good and healthy.You did a great job. Consider keeping them to 10 weeks if they are still being a bit fussy re feeding themselves

when he does use a pad leave it under a clean one, the smell should help him go there again. Also when you think it's time for him to go put him on the pad and use a word like toilet or wee etc. 3 month is very young and it will be a while before he is toilet trained, you need to help him get the idea.

agree with Persephone. Stop feeding them yourself and leave Mum with them but make sure she can leave if she wants to. A little bit of hunger won't hurt them. I'd also try raw mince and see how they go.

Should I put a warning in the title?  

 

No, just feeling a bit sensitive this morning. Unless there are photo's of dogs in condition equal to the the condition of the yard

Couldn't read it all, too stomach churning
