Are Guardian Agreements the new normal when purchasing a dog or does it only apply to "Oodles".

Why are other dogs snapping at my friendly 8month old Puppy?
Deeds replied to Edtheaussiesmum's topic in Puppy Chat
This has always happened with my entire males. They become a target for other entire males. It seems to start when the pups are between 8 and 12 months old that they get pounced on. -
One of my dogs recently had really bad diarrohea . The best thing for him was boiled chicken and Hills I/D kibble. The Hills worked really well. I normally don't use Hills but the Vet recommended it and it did the trick .

You can't beat love & happiness. And that's shining out of her.

Could your Vet keep him in their freezer until you leave. Then transport him as suggested by Boronia.

High Lymphocytes in Pomeranian
Deeds replied to Indi The Lab's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I'm glad you are moving quickly on this as it's a very progressive disease. I hope it all goes well for you. She is a lovely looking dog. -
High Lymphocytes in Pomeranian
Deeds replied to Indi The Lab's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I would recommend getting a 2nd opinion. Have they X-Rayed her chest yet ? https://www.sashvets.com/ollie/ The Oncology Dept at SASH is very good. I highly recommend Veronika or Sandra. -
https://www.stockland.com.au/retirement-living/nsw/cardinal-freeman-retirement-village Google this. There are variations on the Cardinal Freeman accomodation style. A neighbour 's mother has recently gone to live there after selling her property. Everyone is very happy with the accomodation & they apparently have their own wine bar & other social outlets. They have assisted living with a Concierge that takes care of everything. Not sure about the pet aspect but hoping it's allowed. Advert show pictures of dogs- hopefully allowed.

Bowel incontinence and getting old
Deeds replied to scrappimonty's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I live about 5 kilometres from Sydney. I go to a large busy Vet Practice. My Vet had never heard of Galliprant. From what I read in overseas articles it had good results for dogs. I was disappointed my Vet had never heard of it. -
Could this help your dog's joints. https://projectunderdogrescue.org.au/product/4cyte-canine-epiitalis-forte/ Has anyone tried the 4cyte Epitalis Forte Gel for dogs?

Most of the GSP's i've known need a lot of exercise & stimulation. Plus she's only 8 months old.

This situation is only going to get worse as the disease progresses. You are just delaying the inevitable. It's a tortured situation for the dog and your family.

Imuran was the other drug used for my dog's MM. It is an immune suppressing drug used to treat various auto immune diseases in dogs.

One of my Giants had Masticatory Myositis. He was diagnosed at around age 4 and lived until 10 and a half. He died from something unrelated to the MM. He was on daily predisone for life. Starting with a high dose and gradually tapering the dose down. He was also on another Chemo drug that I can't remember the name of. This was around 12 years ago so there may be other drugs available now to treat this condition. The only way it affected my dog was in his jaw which made it a bit more tenuous for him to eat. He could eat kibble and softer foods quite well.

Could it be one of the medications that makes her unsettled.

My 50-60kg Giants also fit in the plastic bag in the box.

This was on ACA tonight re pet funerals & cremations. https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/funeral-service-giving-aussie-family-pets-royal-sendoff/1b691d9b-6a0a-4801-aba1-248a160c8bf7

Kennel cough. Codeine not really helping cough
Deeds replied to fiveplusone's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Just came back from my Vet a couple of days ago. My dog has KC. He didn't have a temp. but was coughing all night with bits of mucus as well. Vet gave him codeine. We gave him 2 tablets on 1st night . Next day we gave him 2 tabs in the morning & 2 at night. Now back to 2 at night & the cough is almost gone. He is a 50kg dog. Vet said it could take up to 10-14 days to get rid of the KC. -
You could ring your Vet & ask what Crematorium they use. You could then ring the Crematorium & ask whether they do individual cremations. If not then google Pet Crematoriums in NSW & enquire from them what procedures they use & whether they would do an individual cremation for your dog. Better to enquire beforehand as it's very distressing on the day when you PTS. And there could be a lot going on at your Vets meaning you might compromise on something you normally wouldn't have. Check with the Vet's receptionist beforehand They are usually well informed re these matters.
-
I usually make an appt. with the Vet after they close or near closing or at a quiet time so other clients don't see me crying & ask questions. My Vet arranges the cremation etc & I usually pay when I pick up the urn/box of ashes which is usually a week later. This means I can leave the clinic quickly without becoming even more distressed. The receptionist usually explains what is available etc in the way of urns & boxes etc.

Buying vet prescribed medication from chemist
Deeds replied to giraffez's topic in General Dog Discussion
No. Often we just ring & ask for a repeat & pick it up from the vet free of charge. We also get scripts for vet medication from our vet & have them filled at Petceutics etc. It's half the price the vet charges.
