I just tried it. It works!!! It's simple to administer (in food), and the fleas all died in a matter of hours. Good riddance you little biters. ;)

What horrible luck. Hang in there, even pound pups with not the best start to life have pulled through. Just let the vet give all the suportive treatment and pray puppy's little system can do the rest.

You're right, it shouldn't be a regular thing (if it happens too often you'll need to have her checked) but a bit of yellow liquid -sometimes with a bit of white foam- often means an empty tum. Maybe the wormer gave her a bit of a clean out.

Was it early? Before breakfast?

Pixie meg, if you're googling - the term is vaccinosis An old Dol thread even comes up. here

She is absolutely perfect Caz. Treasure every moment, the oldies are such a gift. Well done for whisking her to safety.

Maybe she should have a house-rabbit instead. :D I think if it's that stomach churning, a premium dry would be a compromise? Something I hadn't considered until recently told of a lady who chose this rather than vegetarian food for her dog.

:D wow! So many ideas, thanks all!

Ah! Of course it's supposed to be good for anal glands. Would you grate or cook/mash do you think?

I need to pass on some tips. And hope they are taken in the spirit intended. ;) It's a smaller breed dog, to be honest she is chunky not obese ..... but could be one day. I just think she needs to shift some of that weight (and seems to pack it on way more than the other dog in her home who eats the same amount). Diet is currently ok, raw and some veg. I just need a few ideas for safe filler basically. (did someone mention gelatine once?) Try to cut down the actual size of meals and she is ravenous. And should she be vitamin supplemented while dieting?

Like this? linky except they are out of stock

I've had enough today thanks.

yes there was a lot not answered.

What about the other posts bargs. I'm confused. foster puppies..money..inquiries... :D I don't know the whole story sorry. Just what's here.

My guess is: First thing the vet will do is check Smelly's anal glands. If it's as simple as emptying them, stand back it is gross lol. You can learn to empty them yourself and a bit more dietary fibre should help as far as I know. BUT please do check asap, he could have a manky infected or even abscessed anal gland and/or local skin infection from hair getting moist around his rear. All fixable with vet treatment.

Oh Juice how sad, I am so sorry. :D

No one said the dog wasnt desexed that I can see brain fart yes you are correct - no mention.

Who put her onto an undesexed dog?

That's quite a coincidence. What a shame about the carers. :D Good luck Judy.

Wow, is Mr Fluffy such a teenager. There are a lot of matt-type thingos online to make surfaces uncomfortable to walk on.

do a google search on dog smegma. he may not have learned to clean himself. Any obvious sign of infection though and he'll need to go straight to the vet. He can have a little not a lot and 'greenish yellow' is worth a check with the vet.

Same, I have a singer and a spewer. Cars trips are great fun LOL. Window open works well for the spewer. Only ear plugs work with the singer.

Try making it a happy experience as above.. but sometimes what sounds like distress is actually excitement. Don't fuss on her, that reinforces the unwanted behaviour.

Poor Sweep. Shmoo I know it's unlikely in Sydney & in winter, but could the rats have exposed him to lepto?

I'm so sorry Jane. He was your very special boy and you were meant to be together. What a lucky boy to have met you.
