Or Mum needs to change the wifi password.

Jesus, calm down!

That's the point hun.

Meh, those sites are full of scammers, you'll need to compare all the ads. https://www.pets4homes.co.uk/classifieds/yzaxoorxt-show-quality-puppies-bedford/

I honestly hope you can find a spot. I will watch this thread for leads. There can't be that many out there because we often have surrenders for that very reason and no family can/will help. It's so sad.

Fix your house yard or buy a large run!! It can be done. It just takes effort. One day it won't be an endangered or protected species, it will be an angry brown snake and you will kick yourself for having had the chance to save her but ignored all the warning signs.

All these breeds are the ANKC registered ones the highlighted ones have further information. https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/dog-breeders.asp Honestly, people have imported their chosen breeds themselves. You just can't get every breed here.

Have you looked at Japanese Spitz? Not sure you'll find an Eskimo, could be wrong.

Recently? Google 'The Rule Of Three'. 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. Like Rebanne says, we advise people to go all the way back to positive reinforcement puppy training (no old school shouting or rubbing of noses in pee). It's effort but it works. I'll skip over the bit about females marking territory like boys do, because she's a new addition and puppy training is what you need to learn right now. Congrats on your senior dog adoption.

Vets are considered an essential service and travel to see one is considered an animal welfare issue. Check with AWL to confirm if you're worried. They've put out several notices. I agree, if you are not going to be a full time WFH person after Covid I'd begin teaching her how to amuse herself and be happy to happily stay in a puppy pen without your input. When life finally goes back to normal she will have to cope without you.

It's so hard when you can't actually see a physical illness that makes the euthanasia option less painful for you. Go MRI or CT or further testing if it will help in your decision. But your dog is not well, and becoming very dangerous too. I don't know if he is suffering or if he is even aware of what he's doing - but his life is not happy and of quality. That's all we want for our dogs, is to be happy and loving life. I'm so sorry but I wouldn't judge you for releasing him peacefully back to the universe.

I know nothing about Dobermann breeders and Fireax is the only re breeder I have in my brain bank. They must have been around for years. Main thing to be very careful of is that scammers are using registered breeder's prefix and reg numbers to scam people so only use the contact info you can confirm through dogzonline rather than gumtree for example. https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/breeders/dobermann.asp

It's no replacement for vet care, but supportive therapies can assist. I recommend McDowell's Herbal. Send them a message here https://shop.mcdowellsherbal.com/forms/consultation you don't want to have two conflicting treatments working against each other. I also recommend you seek out a specialist. She may have an antibiotic resistant bug. Have they ever done testing or an ultrasound?

There may be owners who have been in your situation who are reluctant to post because it's a medical expert topic. Most recommendations are to go back to the vet. Sensibly, nobody wants to be responsible if something goes wrong. I've had several cardiac dogs, but am not going to give out veterinary advice because I'm not a vet - hearts & their associated conditions are very serious stuff. Stay calm, some dogs are a bumpy ride at first. You'll both get there.

Back to the vet. You're dealing with serious stuff here. There are medications or combinations, and things vets can add if you feel Sonny is having an adverse reaction to plain Vetmedin. Vets just like to start with the basics so they can gauge progress and work from there, so as a rule all cardiac dogs really should be going in for regular checks even if they seem stable. Best wishes for Sonny. xxxx

Australian Veterinary Association 11m · A cluster of cases of acute hepatopathy (liver failure) in Victorian dogs fed pet meat has recently been identified by the PetFAST system. This is being investigated as a potential pet food-associated adverse event, but we have not yet identified a definitive causal link. Any dogs that have eaten pet meat (especially if sourced from Victoria) and have sudden onset of vomiting, loss of appetite, excessive thirst, or jaundice should be taken to your veterinarian without delay. Your veterinarian will be able to examine your dog and do blood tests to investigate further. Veterinarians who see potential cases should log these via PetFAST.

@persephone @Papillon KissesThat makes sense! Post edited.

I sooooo feel your pain. My old boy has always been difficult but now he'll only behave for the vet although he doesn't need sedating, he just won't let me do it anymore. He kicks and twists and it feels like he's rather me break his foot!!! Because of his diabetes we can't do that peanut butter trick (edited - don't do this!! ) or bribe him with threats. You could always ask it be done under a quick whiff of gas. One of my fosters had to be done that way and he woke up fast afterwards.

Basic testing of liver values is often more of an indicator than a diagnosis unless you're talking about complete failure, even then, further testing is needed. Elevated results can be as simple as a treatable infection. Ultrasound is great. And further, more elaborate testing is always recommended. Best I can say is don't panic, most of us have been there but outcome could be any number of things. Please let us know @Lisa anastas

Tin foil hats

It's all covered in the 'definitions' sections re Council, Police, AWL, RSPCA and Cat Protection. I've not been in a real life scenario so I can't help you with what to do if they want to enter your property.

DPI is kind of the state boss. They set the laws and standards the RSPCA and AWL can inspect. There's also CAA and POCTAA

Familiarise yourself with this

Thank you so much Perse. I hadn't thought of it like that.
