Dogs Seized From No Kill Shelter
minimax replied to HeelerLove's topic in Dog Rescue (General Rescue Discussion)
I went back and had a look and oddly enough I couldn't understand a word in any of the replies, they all seem so blinded by rage that they can't string a coherent sentence together :laugh: -

I'm just glad it's not his cult members who get to decide the verdict. And if they carry on with conspiracy theories in court it won't do them any favours, it will just make them look like they are trying to cover things up. -

I thought the timing was a bit too coincidental to not be you but wasn't 100% sure until now. :laugh: I notice that none of them want to hear the truth and you're accused of being negative. *rolls eyes* That's a surprise! I knew it wouldn't be a welcomed comment, and I don't intend to stay and continue the conversation with them. It was only designed to make people think and perhaps see there can be another side to a story (I love the fantasy world I live in ). -

The fact that the RSCPA have diagnosed the dog with hydrocephalus when he'd been at Moorook for 4 years without that diagnoses, which also means it wasn't getting treated for the condition. Considering Mark doesn't even know how hydrocephalus is diagnosed probably means he never was actually diagnosed. Poor little thing, he could have actually been treated for it, had they pulled their heads out of their asses long enough. -

Lola and the volunteers had no reason to think he should be pts? Because now they are medical professionals and can independently assess a dogs condition? -
What Is Your Dogs Favorite Treat?

How does that work out for him? :laugh: He's always a bit confused when he goes back to get it, but I think he just blames Max for stealing (because she always steals his things ) -

Both my pugs love ice-cubes. Except Boston will suck on them for a while, then bury them in his bed for later :laugh: -
A Follow On Thread For Those Who Now Have Their Puppy

Ouch! Can he get up on the couch by himself? -
Daktarin is still an anti-fungal, so it probably works the same as canesten. I usually start out three times a day, applying liberally/rubbing it in but also leaving a layer to soak in, but if it's in an area that she can lick either cover it with a loose dressing or put it on before bed or before dinner, when she's distracted and less likely to notice it?
-
I use canesten on my dogs when I suspect something fungal, and wait a few weeks if it's not bothering them too much or if it's not getting worse, because it can take a few weeks to start to show a real improvement if the canesten is helping.

Might bug you for a while, doubt Troy will feel the need to explain his reasons to you.

What happens when you leave puppies and pee pads alone together: She had her innocent look perfected by then and she was only 3 months old :laugh:

I have pugs. I don't really need to add any more to this post, that says it all :laugh: -
Considering your breeder also seems to have given you the advice to feed weet-bix and PAL (both foods that I'd not even give my mother in law, let alone my dog) I'd be taking someone else's advice on the dry food as well.

Honestly, I'd put the pee pad further away so as not to confuse the "living area" and "toileting area", especially when you're home to take him to his toilet place. Really? So maybe for when we're home have the pad in the bathroom? And we just take him there the whole time for toilet? Can I still leave one in the pen for if we're not home? Will he make the connection between what he's peed/pood on in the bathroom with the one in the pen? When you're not there he is more likely to eat or play with the pee pad than actually use it to pee on :p My first pup is now just over 18 months, and she's trained to go on pee pads or outside as I've since moved to a house with a yard, but when I was in the apartment and pee pad training her, I had pee pads in several rooms and she would use all (any) of them. I trained her to pee on command, so that helped as well. She got a treat everytime she peed on the pad, and I said "bathroom" when she was peeing, now I say "bathroom" and she pees. I actually had her pee pad trained TOO well and when she was little she wouldn't pee on grass or outside, I had to take a pee pad wherever I went Put the pee pad where you want to be for his whole life (or, the whole time you are living there). Will you keep the play pen forever, even when he's grown? If not, pick a spot for the pee pad where you want, whether it's a laundry or bathroom or corner of a room. non-carpets are best because as he gets older and starts lifting his leg his aim will get wonky :p

That's why I have my own domain and hosting, so I can host my own pics without restrictions. I also have it setup with an "allow/disallow" list for hotlinking so every random that comes along can't link to my image and use my bandwidth.

It's only been a few days, it can take months. Patience, patience and more patience. And parties and rewards the times he does :) Do you not have a backyard or something for toilet training, it's much easier that way. And making sure the pee pad is far far away from his living area. I pee pad trained my pup when I lived in an apartment, the pee pad was on the balcony and I would spend as long as it took out there with her until she peed. If she moved off the pee pad, I'd pick her up and put her back on, and give her a bit of a "good girl" for standing on the mat, but no other attention otherwise. No playing with her, no talking to her, no nothing. We were there for one purpose only. He won't know to go to the mat to pee, you have to put him there. Sometimes I'd need to put a collar and and leash and stand there so she couldn't move off the pee pad. But she would wake me at night when she needed to pee, I'd take her out and she'd pee on the pad straight away, which made training easier as she already needed to go, so it was a good opportunity for training.

I was using canesten when the patch was undiagnosed and the antibiotic cream and oral antibiotics hadn't had done anything. I figured if it wasn't bacterial, the vet insisted it wasn't demodex, then fungal was one of the only things left, but it didn't seem to make much difference (although it didn't make it worse). When the good vet finally did a skin scraping she said the canesten wouldn't have been doing anything so I stopped it. We're currently treating him with Adovcate and I'm hoping that works before going to the hard stuff. I'm going to add Annandale vets to my list, they are about 10 minutes from me. My vet is awesome, but if she isn't there it seems no one else in the entire place has a brain cell

I honestly don't think Today/Tonight care. Apparently they did a designer dog story tonight, so if they honestly thought Moorook was that important I'm sure they could have delayed that story. -
If you're doing it from speedtest you click "share results" and it gives you the link to the image Maybe I've done it wrong, I just clicked on the link and the box came up with those figures I've quoted but I cant see where it says share results. As soon as it finishes it flashes green "share this result". Oh look, I've gotten better as the afternoon goes on. I would have thought around 3.30pm people stop work and start internetting, but apparently not :laugh:
