Thank you! I'm considering trying this on my boy. Very very helpful.  

Are you near a hydrotherapy service? Or a doggy acupuncture / physio practitioner?
 

It is if it's caused by allergens, a collapsing trachea or long soft palate. 

I can't remember but I swear the goal was $15k but now it's up to 30.

It was heard that Britton used marketplace website Gumtree to source new dogs, often building a rapport with the owners who were reluctantly giving their pets away due to travel or work commitments.

Mr Aust said a number of the dog owners had reached out to Britton for updates on their pets' transition. 

Apart from the gruesome content, this excerpt also stood out for me given the warnings of dog fighting rings, the way this predator 'groomed' owners into handing over their dogs with trust should also be a warning.     

Link for anyone with a strong stomach. Please be careful.  It's not for general curiosity. 

 

Eek! Be extremely careful of his 'training advice'. 

Meaty bones, but definitely have her teeth seen to first.

A dental cleans up the scale, and checks for fractures that would crack under the pressure of bone chewing which is very painful.

Once a scale & polish is done, you can maintain healthy teeth for longer with bones. 

Unless she is chronically unwell, anaesthetic will be fine,  you just opt for the pre-op blood panel to make sure her system is functioning properly. And post-op fluids will assist the flushing of anaesthetic if you choose to add that option.

My own personal opinion is to keep the kibble as a side-dish, snack or sprinkle. Contrary to how it can be promoted sometimes, it does not clean the teeth at all.

Covid puppies factor also. Not just large breeds and not just aggression.

So many were first time dogs, and weren't able to be properly socialised or even attend classes for the owners to learn how to manage their dogs maturing into adults. 

So cute! 

Holy hell! 

Do you have malaseb or nizoral in your stash? And some anti fungal cream for the lesions? They will tide you over and stop it's spread if not shrink it.
Canesten also have a laundry liquid for clothes and bedding. 

You can also use the UV light from Covid tests to check the lesions for little glowing bits.  Not really helpful but I guess but still fascinating. 

There's an oral med from the vet that they will prescribe, it's not like the old ones who used to batter the liver pretty badly.

So I haven't answered your question  but topical treatments can be fairly drying so a Calendula or green tea spritz couldn't hurt.  

I'd contact Zoetis Aus via email to check the batch.

If it really is dodgy after all, then you've got a pretty good looking counterfeit! 

Oh my god. 

I'm so sorry for your friend.

I do know people order 'coyote vests' from the U.S. in attack areas like when they go on the road travelling and there's dingo/X's and strays around camping areas. They are apparently very effective. They should be by the look of them! https://www.coyotevest.com/

The anxiety though, really needs a cooperative vet. 

I'm so sorry  I can't help, but sending best wishes for you both.   Please update when you can.

Try calling ABR, she might know.  https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/rescue-groups/238893/Arctic-Breed-Rescue

At 11, that's still not normal ageing and if anything it's taking a toll on her body. She needs to get to the vet asap. 

There's a 'Rule of Three' for rescue dogs that generally helps understand what is going on with them. 

For example

You're right, you're also dealing with natural terrier instinct so maybe a course with a training class will help you navigate through those challenges? 

One gumtree ad started as Poms and then changed twice more to add desirable crosses to the mix. Pup prices are falling. Changing tactics gets them sold.

Doubt there's pure OES in the cross if at all. But I hope it grows into a nice dog that they keep forever. 

Been thinking about this one.  Obviously Silky and Yorkie  as breed specific rescue but also small breeds and crosses.

I do have some favourites of course but in the end, it's also about the dog themselves as an individual. I especially love the wise seniors. And there's 'old souls' despite the age if that makes sense? Their eyes tell you everything .... 

Basically I'm a dog person.   LOL 

That seems to be a long time between the shot and the lump appearing. I personally don't like hard lumps at all, have a quick check at the vet. x 

I guess in these days of clickbait you only need juicy headlines, not well rounded articles.
