I've seen this is old dogs, usually it ends up being dementia as Maree has stated. I would suggest a vet visit to make sure though.

5 minutes, you're lucky lol. My kelpie, Maybe will stare at me constantly, she's so intense.

I was walking the maremma and bullarab type dog last night. I was obviously trying to intimidate everyone and flexing my girlish muscles. :laugh:

Great news!

Definitions of words evolve as the world evolves. It's up to a vet who they give discounts to.

What did the x-rays show> Was there air or fluid? Perhaps an Ultrasound or CT would reveal more. ETA: it could be an allergic reaction. I've seen hives get really really large.

Acting like a typical stubborn teenager, didn't look stressed to me just annoyed at being moved :laugh:

Totally agree.

Maybe try some steamed chicken and rice with a bit of watered down chicken stock for flavour or even recovery tins from the vet? he's probably anxious as well as still feeling pretty seedy

Is there any way you can leave him at the breeder's until the work is over. Vaccination isn't just about being in contact with other dogs but the general environment as well.

milbemax or drontal for worms, advantix (as long they aren't near cats) and a heartworm blood test then proheart if all clear. ETA: You still need to check for ticks when living in a tick-prone area. Western NSW isn't known for paralysis ticks, they're more a coastal thing. So if you go walking in any natural areas check them whether they ahve treatment on or not. Advantix also does fleas.

I've sent dogs on flights to rescue before and it's always nerve-racking but touch wood they've all been fine. The only time I've ever had a problem was 4 years ago I had my maremma flown down and I drove 3 hours to the airport and he wasn't there. They neglected to tell me that the flight didn't have room so they had him in boarding overnight. I was not happy as I had to call off morning work the next day to drive down again and get him.

I have video of Torque eating watermelon, she loves it!

Thank you everyone. I'm so glad so many people are seeing it, hopefully it will help bring exposure. :D

I called her "Talk' the day I got the paper and she still came :laugh:

Yeah, that's why I did it. Great exposure for the pound and rescue. Gives people an idea of how to help.

I have friends that use this My link and their dogs seem to do well on it. I highly advise speaking to your vet though as they and you know the dog much better than forum peeps. Good luck and I hope it all clears up.

:laugh: I know. Oh well.

Yes. Thank you.

I'd advise Royal Canin or Canidae. I have friends with Danes and they switched from Black Hawk to Canidae and the others have always used RC and their dogs are in fantastic health.

I'm a bit apprehensive to change her diet since she's doing well on this one but I will bring it up with my vet next week when she gets her last vaccination. I wouldn't consider diarrhea to be "doing well" though Well its hardly diarrhea in the uncontrollable liquid mess sense, just 2 or 3 days of loose stool. She's a giant breed puppy so im not going to try and mess around with her food without advice from the vet. She's doing well on it as in growing.at a healthy rate, isn't gassy, has a nice shiny coat and apart from the transitions between bags her stools are firm and not too smelly. You said diarrhea in the post, I imagined complete liquid not just loose stools. Either way you should mention it to the vet and the supplier. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I suppose if they're being sold that's the main thing. I just hope the money isn't going elsewhere and staying in the pound.

If I was you I'd wean her onto a new consistent dog food altogether.

That's very expensive for a pound. Registration fees have gone up though so this could account for the price hike. Not sure why they would put some dogs $200 more though.
