Teebs

Shave her... I dare ya My 4 (2 dogs and 2 cats) have beenloosing hair 2 times as much as the did last year - Dog fur is the worst, those litle black spikey things that get EVERYWHERE!!

do you wash it out?? A guy at work had olive oil in his hair every day!! It looks sooo yuck1!!

I feed both mine the same, Kaos looks like i got a bottle of oil and shined her up - People always comment on how silky she looks - Atlas on the other hand - I give him sunflower oil as well as megaderm (Sp?) - It is slowly starting to look a bit shiney, but i dont think he will ever match Kaos!! They both get an egg once a week and fish sometimes Now, how can i get MY hair as shiney as Kaos? I am NOT eating dog food and raw eggs

Am i sick? I would like to see the photos. I have never heard of this before, can someone explain exactly what happenes? Cin

Well, the litte shit!! I took her to the vet today and she acted like nothing was wrong Vet said it could be part of her tummy bug she had, but also thinks it could be OCD? I have to get a video of her limping next time she does it and take it in to him I am feeling much better Thanks Cin

I love dog people, so understanding

Thanks Ellz. One of the guys asked me at work today what would i be like if i had children if i get this worried about my dogs I dont want to find out

She is now in Ats Crate, she never goes in there and he never lets her I m going to cry :D Sorry guys, i am just going through a really bad patch at the moment, these pets being sick it just adding to my worries.

She is a Staffy - Think i should give the breeder a call? she doenst have a crate at the moment, it is outside soaking after her big pooping exercise, she is just laying out where it is kept. It is so not her

ok, thanks, i think i may know someone.... Will see what i can findout Thanks I feel like i am having a breakdown, all my pets have been sick the last few days ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, i will see what i can do.... I dont think they had a fight, my neighbour usually tells me if anything happens (big stickybeak) and i keep an eye on them at home Ok, do you k now anyone around orange i can see? Or should i go and just get xrays?

Just like to add that she is sulking really bad now, she wont play with Atlas at all (VERY strange for her...)

Paniced mum (me) Kaos has been walking around, and will all of a suddon start SCREAMING and limping on both her back legs. Dad asked the vet about it when she went yesterday and he had a really good feel and poked and everything and said there was nothing wrong It is this bug that is causing her to limp and scream. I dont know if i should get her in for Xrays (like i can afford it ) or wait for a bit to see if it is just the bug...

Can someone please tell me the very fist signs of HD? thanks Cin

I am the only one here, i have 2 cats and the 2 dogs what do you mean "I like to ask you something. Is your dog reacting like an alpha dog if you put pressure on him?" thanks for the help. Cin (kaos is still very sore but is doing a bit better)

What a day! Not only have i been worried about Altas, ialso had Kaos up all night pooping blood Update on both of them : Vet found Nothing, she said it was prob more to do with me scaring him/and being attacked the other week. He is also trying to push his limits with me (he just turned 2) I have had a chat to the breeder and the vet and he is booked in for tomorrow week to get desexed. Kaos is ok, vet thought over the phone it sounded like parvo. Its not, some bug that puppies get (no idea of the name, dad rushed her to the vet this morning while i was at work) She is on a bland diet for a few days, on some meds and should be ok in a few days Thanks for the advice - I am still not going to let them on the bed or lounge and make sure he knows i am boss. Cin

I have had the pup for 2.5 months, she is 6 months old.

thanks. I was pretty worried as well He seems ok, just had a go at Kaos (the pup) but i dont think that is anything serious, he does it when she annoys him (and she annoys EVERYONE - so i understand how he is feeling!!) First things first, vet trip tomorrow afternoon then see what is going on

yeah, i will - Not giving up on him yet (even though my hand is bloody sore!!!!!)

Thanks everyone. It wasnt a sudden movement, i was just moving a little bit, nothing that would scare him (well, maybe it did?) The ver check will be done tomorrow, i went to lift him onto a bench today and he winced a bit, so i am hoping that is what is wrong with him One question - I am going to be keeping them off the lounge and bed - But they ofen sleep on an old futon in the computer room - I dont use it ( Stinks of dog!) Should i get them off that for a while as well? Or is it ok to let them have it? Thanks again cin

Thanks, they are out of the bed and off the lounge as of right now Will book into the vet tomorrow morning He didnt look upset or shocked after it

I was just watching TV with the dogs, both of them were asleep on the lounge next to me, nothing different to what i have been doing for the last 2 years with Atlas. I went to move and he woke up and Attacked me He grabbed my hand, he only broke the skin on one finger, but already i can see bursing all over it and can hardly move it. This is the 2nd time it has happened, the first was yesterday, he was asleep again and i went to do something and he woke and grabbed me. I am sitting here in tears ;) Last week at obedience a dog attacked him and he went to fight back. Up untill this point i have NEVER EVER seen him get mad at anything. Can someone give me some advice? Should i get him a Vet Check to make sure everything is ok? I have heard of Sudden onset aggression,, but can it happen when he is 2 years old? Please help, this is so unlike my boy!! ETA: He is acting normal now, it was just the second he woke up he snapped, now its like nothing happened

Thanks everyone!! Looks like i am going shopping on pay day

Thanks Am - The news paper is going to be doing an article on him in the next few weeks nothing like a killing machine

Thanks guys I was thinking of using that Dry Shampoo. I Will try the other ideas first, if it doenst get better i will cheat (shhhhhh...) I hate doing it once a week, i only used to do him when his white neck was black I know Bullies can get skin problems so i will keep a very close eye on him Cin
