Grain free salmon here too ( think its called pure sea now??) anyway my allergy dog ests it as he cant hVe grains, beef or chicken. He only gets half a cup of it a day and then raw. He has always been lazy. I freeze his to stop dust mites.

My advice take Insurance if u have a young active lab. Mine has had 2 canine tooth abscesses from biting things too hard and xrays for a limp ( they showed nothing) spent $1500 the first 2 months that iv had him

Rosie go and visit Deb

Oscar i rinse them off at least or bath them

Now funny I did not find that it helped my dog at all but all dogs react dfferently

She mentioned pano but that was ruled out in the X-rays as apparently u can see that on X-rays . I have restricted his exercise for over 2 weeks now and it hasn't helped a stitch...

Yup all ruled out. The only things it could be is tendon, ligament, muscle none of which will show in X-ray. He has to have his mouth checked tomorrow again so guess we will discus it again then.

Last year we won best of friends award and we have a few little trophys from obedience trials

I have no idea CC. Its good news that its not OCD elboew dysplasia etc but its also frustrating. Ortho specialist dorsnt think its coming from the toe which is what my vet thought... Will have to just wait as i dont have $1800 for the MRI that was suggested before. Might take him to Steve at Applecross in a few weeks if no better once i have something back from Petplan they are owing me just under $1500 which i could use!

I wish I could find somewhere that minces up the bones, I guess if I'm buying pet mince it probably has some bone in...

Well Gibbs' xrays show nothing...... I dont know wether to be happy or not...

We had our club prizegiving last night and Mason gt his CCD and club title medal as well as a huge trophy for top CCD dog 2011!! Very proud!

Big hugs Mirawee, I know how you are feeling, hope all of your animals make a speedy recovery. On to good news, just got back from club AGM and Mason got his CCD and club title medal and won top CCD dog 2011 ;) I also got voted onto the committee

I don't know claims just seem to be taking longer and longer... Gibbs had tooth thing at 10 weeks, he is 20 weeks on sat so 10 weeks so far , masons last claim took about 12 weeks

Yes, but there are other considerations as well as oates do also contain gluten as well. But generally speaking grain free means wheat free which is the main offender of gluten and particularly the one that affects animals and humans. They have one more research and people with celiac disease ( no gluten allowed) can now eat oats. I myself can't have them though and neither can my dog.

Must say my allergy dog is allergic to Hills ZD !! Where are you moving in WA- is it Perth?? I have an excellent vet and allergy specialist you could go see.

Mine take 12 weeks or longer at his stage....

I do it 2x a day now with pup around, when it was jut mason 1x a day

Yup it's confirmed it's another abscess, he is having all 3 baby canines removed and his leg xrayed tomorrow ETA no clean run goodies for my guys for Xmas

I took Mason to the river one day it was pretty quiet, a friend ad her lab there too, car pulls up, lady gets out ( fighting with hubby) and goes and sits on the riverbank ..... 2 wet labs go lick her and get water all over her.... She wasn't impressed and threw a fit in some weird language

Good news for you Wazzat

I wish our insurance worked like that here. Good to hear Louis is on the mend

I have but he is thick he still tries to just swollow

He bites down too hard on things!! I have space on my credit card I think ( he needs foot xrayed too) but when do I say enough is enough?? I don't go chiro or anything coz the dogs get and my neck is buggered!!

Looks like Gibbs has an abscess on his other canine now...not even funny I am so broke may have to seriously consider finding someone with a big credit card to take him ( I had credit on my card but no more!!) I could scream as I can't just leave it but really don't have the money for this now....
