Hi Boronia! Yes, monthly as advised. One Forever Care boy (Bob) has had 6 so far and hasn't skipped a beat. It's really worked for him. He also takes heart meds and just had his 6 monthly full blood panel which has only improved since his last one, bar 1 age related kidney marker being slightly out. I've got no proof that it would be best to switch back to Cartrophen except for the stories in the article. So will have to quiz the vet. One page I follow on FB 'CavalierHealth.org' has been warning people for a while with quite scary stories. You know how it is though, I can't think of one product that doesn't come with alarming warnings. It's a shame that Beransa was touted as completely harmless according to the article.

I've found Beransa to be wonderful for our seniors. Zero side effects, good results. Will have to quiz our vet moving forward. Very very sorry for the people whose pets suffered. I hope now that it's known not to be completely safe, adverse reactions can be dealt with ASAP. I do see lots of alarming claims about pet products, particularly flea and tick. You just never know who to believe.

See edited post snippet. This poster will not answer questions or respond to advice. The story is bogus. Posts like this... they just get some attention and go back to edit the post to add advertising of an external link. Common on FB too. Works better there because of the share function.

I'm annoyed posts like this aren't moderated anymore.

If she's from a rescue, please reach out to them. It'll also be helpful if she has a bit of history they can fill you in on. For example - if she was in foster care with other dogs and quite happy, that would be good to know.

Agreed. It's unleashed meth-heads that are the most serious dangers out and about now.

I think you are confused. Sorry but you gave up your dog - circumstances have unpredictably changed and now you want him back. Surrendering is not simple. You had many chances to back out. You gave Cosmo up and I'm assuming you signed him over. This is legal transfer of ownership whether you have regrets or not, you had a chance to not commit. Desexing policy, no that's referring not incoming, that's only making sure every dog is desexed before being adopted so that will have been done by now. Foster carers vs owners are probably 'foster to adopt'. Which is an agreement that once vetwork is done, the foster carers can adopt.

I haven't tried them yet but was recommended to https://www.clippersharpening.com.au/general-pages/contact.phps

I remember poor little Indie fought her battle at VSOS and the extra GFM donations raised were used to help other dogs.

No exceptions. Buying online is the best way to compare prices and save. Especially food and flea/tick/hw treatments. Often there's also free delivery over a certain amount spent.

I'm soooo glad you've got help from the vet for your brace. Improperly fitted ones do more harm than good. Best wishes for a great recovery. ________ Not referring to you at all here Bandit-Bailey, but as many of these threads show up for people browsing Google seeking help..... Yes, you can buy all sorts of braces off Temu now that look like the real thing, but are pieces of garbage. Always consult your vet for a reputable supplier.

My grandfather farmed all his life so we grew up with that. Heelers were the dog of choice for the cattle and a couple of kelpies to help. We knew not to go near the heelers, they were serious working dogs.

Hi what does your vet say? 3-4 weeks doesn't seem that long, usually 4 - 6 in my experience. He'll use his leg with caution for a while so don't push him too hard. You can do hydrotherapy yourself but I recommend having the brace chosen and fitted by your vet instead of DIY if you choose to try that.

Would be worth a try but with a meet & greet first and a return policy in place if it doesn't work out. Outside; no, never. But I don't think that's everyone's policy. It would take a few applications or initial inquiries to find out.

It's always good to get a bit of publicity for rescue dogs no matter the arrangement. But they need to join the pledge groups where transport funds are raised.

Ok but tell me people, is it against the law to keep a native animal without a permit?

I've been thinking it was lockdown combined with a spike in dog ownership.

I just had a look today after the wildlife people called it clickbait. Calendar, book and GFM https://www.gofundme.com/f/peggy-and-molly-interspecies-friendship? https://www.facebook.com/peggyandmolly/videos/660238976117619/ Makes it a lot less wholesome for me.

So now he will be living in a cage forever, without the only family he's ever known. I truly hope he makes new friends. I can see the thinking behind seizing him, it's law and legislation. Wildlife should be wild. Bad example to others. All that is true. Same as when we get upset that people keep stray pets they find without following proper procedure. Although, from what I've seen on social media, lots of people have wildlife they let into their home and they are free to come and go also. Why are these people being made an example of?

They have a lot of large harder-to-adopt breeds at a lower fee who will eat, microchip, desex, vaccinate, hw test, bedding, training and parasite prevention their way through their fee very fast. It's just basic economics. The problem isn't with this well regarded charity who hasn't ever bred a single pup themselves.

Zero apologies for our fees.

I've got just a few permanent scars over many years from grooming freaked out felted dogs but you can understand when they are in pain. You can't just leave them like that while you wait for them to settle into foster care. The change in them afterwards is beautiful to see. And just the one puppy injury. Very curious bub pawed at my face and scratched my eyeball pretty deep. My fault, I just wasn't quick enough! @Rebanne When I think of all the childhood lego injuries my parents suffered it doesn't seem so bad.

PK, I agree this is true if you have an experienced vet. Especially with recurrent ear infections.
