  1. That's probably Samford Boarding Kennels..they have deluxe suites that have a TV
  2. Some other places along the way that might be able to help(if you have people to help you transport): Hervey Bay Animal Refuge - Nikenbah Maryborough Animal Refuge - 4123 1712 RSPCA shelters at Bundaberg, Noosa, Gympie, Dakabin and Fairfield (all accept surrenders) hope this helps...
  3. Oh I am so sorry PF :D Can't believe it. I have some beautiful pictures of her that i will make pretty and send to you soon. Be free and happy, Esmay.
  4. I'm in Chermside West I can recommend Susan Dawson and the gang at Anvet Kedron. I've been going there for many years, and they do vet work for GAP and Friends of the Hound greyhounds, great rescue supporter. QVS is excellent for emergency and specialist care. BVSC (Albany Creek) are also great specialists. Welcome to the area! It's a great place to live.
  5. BVSC Poor little Boo! Hope he is ok - sounds like you caught whatever it is early.
  6. Jenna, I am sure your mum will miss you lots! You were such a beautiful soul, and had the patience of a saint to put up with Ty Enjoy the great greyhound couches in the sky.... Frankie is there to meet you too!

    Greyhound

    My greyhound Aura does agility and lure coursing She is an ex racer and I adopted her as an adult. Speed is no problem, control is ....
  8. bump for tomorrow... What a great oppurtunity for newbies to dogsports to come and see 4 different types in the one area? Well worth the gold coin donation entry fee (and huga has some kyuute baby singlets!)
  9. What a beautiful girl - but happy at last it seems at your place! Small comfort in her going the way she did, zoomies forever :rolleyes: So sorry to hear LC . Take care of each other...
  10. What Crisovar said. Sentinel Spectrum is an IGR - Insect Growth Regulator - that essentially renders adult fleas sterile therefore stopping the life cycle, but will not kill them. Adult fleas hopping on her dog will not die from Sentinel itself. Suggest Capstar for adult flea observations, or one of the spot ons, (Advantage, Frontline Revolution etc) or even a flea bath will kill the adults and Sentinel should do the rest. The adults aren't alive for terribly long and not being able to reproduce, a flea population allegedly should come under control fairly soon And yes, people often say different products have different effects. Different active constituents.
  11. Title: Hope Island Cup Date: Sunday August 24, 2008 Time: 8:00 am - 12:00 pm Location: Wally Tate Park, Kuraby The Hope Island Cup event was introduced when the majority of dogs were sight hounds. Its purpose was to give sight hounds an event, which would really test their stamina as these hounds are expected to be able to hunt over great distances. A normal lure-coursing day does not really challenge their staying power. As more and more breeds joined the club, it was decided that these dogs should also be given the opportunity to compete so the additional events were introduced. After all, why should the sight hounds have all the fun? To be eligible for these events, dogs must attend three of the six qualifying meetings. A dog must have a minimum score of 150 in each of the qualifying meetings. The top 3 qualifying dogs (on the top 3 scores) will compete with the next 2 qualifying dogs being reserves. On the day of the event, all dogs entered are vetted before and after the first run and again after the second run. The vet may withdraw a dog from the event at any time if it does not recover well following either run or if appears to be stressed. Three judges score each dog and the dog with the top aggregate score in each section is the winner. A good day to come along and see some longer runs. Also I believe they will be doing fun runs/puppy runs if all goes to plan. Wish Aura luck!
  12. Hi everyone, Just thought I would pop on here and give an update... On Wed night Harvey had a 4-5 min seizure from which he recovered from as normal. Within 10-15 mins, however, he had another, and would not snap out of it. I took him straight to the e-vet (where i work, thank god, and 2 mins away) and he was given Valium anally. He was still in status/long petit mal(np paddling?) when I left him there, and eventually was back in the land of the living after 2 hours. He was transferred to regular vet the next morning for babysit and no more seizures. I took him home Thursday night, all good, we left his catheter in just in case he needed a dose real quick but thankfully wasnt needed. He went back to regular vet for another babysit today as I had to work. He is home again now and still no seizures. Phenobarb bumped up to 1/2 tab 30mg AM and PM. His Pb bloods were in the low end of normal range so he has room to move with higher doses. He is still feeling a little tired and sad/sorry for himself, but his appetite has picked up and that little Harvey tail is going a million miles an hour! Don't worry yourself Varicool, he is cuddled up with me and loving every minute the little sook. You got yourself some good discounts along the way too as I mentioned your sob story lol!!! So i guess the diagnosis is still unknown, hopefully the higher dose will control the seizures however. One of the Medicine specialists mentioned hydrocephalus as a possible cause but without an MRI you will never know... Here he is: Notice the "Get Well" loveheart vetrap and new collar Varicool! I thought he deserved a treat for being a good boy!
  13. Imy there was an article on one of the cg magazines http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.org/cgmagazine/back-issues.html Summer 2007 about treating corns. I have that one lying around somewhere, I could scan the article for you if you need?
  14. VIP Chicken Chunkers! Freeze and pull a handful out when you need them. I also agree a mixture of different treats works well.
