staffy2

Hi and thanks. Symptoms are high temperature and uncontrollably shaking of his head all most like a bobble head when it happens it doesn't seem to cause any pain he just looks blank and then will sleep for a while afterwards

Hi all I have just left my vet and we think my dog may have Cerebellar Tremors he is a 4 month old Jack Russell. Before we do an MRI we are going to start him on a course of antibiotics as he has a temp of 39 degrees which could be causing the tremors. Has anyone else dealt with this condition. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

He is 12 weeks and we do spend time alone with him as he is indoors and our Stafford is inside and outside. We are just trying the basics as in sit come for now he is just really stubborn. He fights the lead but we keep on keeping on with the training and lead :)

Hi All It's been a while since I have posted. We have brought a Jack Russell puppy and he just wont seem to listen to a single thing I say I have tried postive reward and treats as a part of his training but nothing seems to be working. I also have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and she listens beautifully and I guess was easy to train compared to our Jack Russell. Any ideas that would help with training would be appreciated Thanks in advance

Thanks all for your replies :)

Hi all well yesterday I took my staffy bitch to the vet to be spayed and aborted she is 10 months old and was pregnant with 8 pups. But the reason im posting is I have heard that spaying a dog can change their behavior Pepper is a very hyper dog and I dont really want her to change is there any truth to them changing Thanks in advance

If I wait a few weeks after her heat and if the mastiff did get her in pup Wouldnt there be more complications for her. With pups being bigger?

Yes Sandra lesson learnt alright. Very sad lesson at that as she is my baby and I feel very terrible about it. I thought the yard was secure but I guess it wasn't. As for getting the pup's aborted at the same time as desexing thats what I planned on doing :)

Hi All My dam has came on heat and was just after some info on how long does the bleeding last? She is a Stafford and on Friday night a mastiff had got into my yard and possible mated with her He had hurt her abit she has all cuts over her. I have taken her to the vets where the vet prescribed antibiotics for her cuts and grazes. She is inside now but just wondering how long the bleeding lasts for. If the mastiff has mated with her the pups will be aborted as I never wanted her to have pups she is 9 months old and the only reason she hasn't been spayed yet is due to the vet not wanting to desex her due to having a bad case of demodex. Although she could of been spayed last week but her cycle had started so we had to put it off She is booked in for 2 weeks time to be spayed. Thanks in advance

Just added beef mince this morning Was up at 7 am and found it at a butcher for 3.99 per kilo came home and mixed it up with raw egg and ground down the shell Thanks for all your advice :)

Thanks for the tip on the shank bone and the link heading there now to have a read

Hi All So after doing abit of research I have changed my girls diet to raw just wondering if what I am givin them enough nutrition wise Their diet consists of Chicken necks Lamb and Beef hearts Chicken and Lamb livers Lamb and Beef kidneys Chicken frames Lamb shanks I also am looking at adding in some fish oil as well as raw egg their meals are one day white one day red, also they do get so dry food of a night I have also read that a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in their drinking water 2 times a week can be good for them Thoughts please

Ok so since posting this things seem to be back to normal Pepper is playin with Roxi nice again. I think Pepper's nose was abit out of joint ( Jealousy ) being the only dog for so long I'm not saying this is ok but I guess it would be normal Im also not sure why she acted this way apart from jealousy beause she has never shown any signs of arrgession before but I will be contacting dog trainers to see who would be best suit for my to babies thanks.

Shepparton I have came arcoss DOGTECH has anyone dealt with these guys

Thanks staffyluv
