  1. morning all and thanks Nadsi for your reply. well its amazing when you take a step back and see what youve posted my reason for worrying so much about my boys sleep and mine is that i'm going away again for 12 days (guilt has set in )and again leaving my 2 with a very good dog minder for this time ,I have only ever left them in care once before, Sam has never whinged before or ever had sleep problems they both sleep in crates usually very well , anyway i decided to bring Sam and crate into my bedroom and well wouldnt you knnow it 2 nights of good sleep for the both of us Daccydog
  2. Morning Dols I have a problem with my 8 yr male mini daccy , 1 month ago I went away for 12 days and boarded my 2 daccys , Ever since then he has been unbearable whinging & whining when he gets into his crate at bed time ,he will cry for a couple of hours, I try very hard to ignore it but its all too much and end up putting him in my bed where he seems quite happy ,Given he's 8 yrs old and never done anything like this before , I also realise I'm giving in to him putting him in my bed sometimes he will go to sleep and settle then about 1am will start his routine of whining can anyone help with suggestions of what i can do ps He is usually a very well behaved boy, and he's not cold as he's got warm blankets many thanks Daccydog,
  3. Thanks again everyone for your kind wishes Vet still thinks she's ok with the injection vit K, and without vit K tabs ?, Just rest and a watchful eye on her , It may have helped that she did pass a chuck of the stuff in her poo on sunday morning DD
  4. Hi , Just to let you know that Miss Sally has already had an injection of vitamin K early saturday morning , Daccydog
  5. Thanks everyone ,I've just heard from the vet and she's ok with blood results within normal range, but I've still got to keep an eye on her and if she's shows any sign of illness she is to start a course of vitamin k tablets, and definatly no running around to avoid any injuries ,She's sulking in her create at the moment like there nothing wrong Daccydog
  6. I have done a search and nothing was found, I havent got a large yard , the vet told me that sometimes birds pick the baits up and drop them or a bush rat has found it and taking it back to its nest, if I hadnt found the small piece in the kitchen , i never would have known she had eaten it , vet say's it takes 5 -7 days to go through her system Daccydog
  7. Hi Everyone Has anyone's dog eaten rat bait and how was the outcome ? My female miss Sally woke up early on saturday morning at 5am and wanted to go and pee I let her out and when she came back in, she was chewing, didnt take much notice as i was half asleep but did say what are you eating, anyway we went back to bed , when i got up at 7.45am i noticed in the kitchen some blue stuff , and realised it was rat bait , got to the vet 8.15 where she was given a shot of vitiam k , to stop the blood from clotting and this morning she had a blood test, waiting on the results now should be in shortly I dont know where the rat bait has come from but i'm pretty sure it wasnt there on friday afternoon cos i was in the garden thanks and fingers xed Daccydog
  8. thanks Guys what a great read , always the best place to come and learn a little bit more :D Regards Daccydog
  9. Hi everyone My male long hair daccy is 7.1/2 yrs old and for the first time in his life , HAS FLEAS although not many at this stage, from ppl in the area ive spoken too say its a bad area for fleas I have been using frontline plus for the last 2,1/2 months with another to be given shortly ,does this take a while to kill the cycle of fleas Or does this sound ok , poor bub is scratching like crazy I have been washing his bedding and vacumming every 2nd day to eliminate any fleas in the house any suggestions if i can do anything else for him thanks Daccydog :)
  10. m ...so now we can all get some sleep.... (it's an old joke) :laugh: thats so true , if only he could have told me he was uncomfortable in there with the crappy pillow he was on
  11. Hi There 100% go for the create , the best thing is to start them off when puppies , so they know the rules or how its supposed to be Daccydog
  12. Hello everyone :D Very excited here In my last post I mentioned to you that I'd changed his bedding to a pet futon mattress in his create , well what a difference for 2 nights he's been so good and back to normal without waking me up I now think he was trying to get comfortable by fluffing around with his pillow , silly me I should have known what Daccys are like,they love there blanket and lots of comfort Thanks again Daccydog
  13. Yes you are completly right and i know its my fault ,Just been too tired with him waking me up everynight, as the kids say TOO EASY !to put him into bed with me Thanks guys for your tips DACCYDOG
  14. Ohhh you must of had a daccy at some time , yes velcro is my female.. whether this is right or wrong I let them stay with me in bed till 9.30 pm (i watch tv in my bedroom) then its out for a wee and in to there own bed , maybe i've got to change this habit ? He likes to burrow under the doona , and is quite comfortable with legs up in the air , they have seperate crates a bit squezzy for the 2 to be comfy in, i would think 24"size anyhow i have just changed the bedding in his crate to a pet futon matress that is a lot more stable than the pillow he had previously , Now he will be able to scratch and fluff around till his hearts content And yes I'm going win this battle as i really do know he is pulling the wool over my eyes true, , and i will close the door ....
  15. Hello everyone :) Your help is needed I have two mini dachys , love them both to bits , The female loves her crate and will sleep in there all night no problems!! the other one a male gets in his crate and scratches and fluffs around for ages then goes to sleep , then about 1am decides to start whinning crying etc, so I take him outside thinking he wants do a wee , yeap will do it , then races back into MY BED , snuggles down and everythings fine,.. of course, why wouldnt it be he has got HIS WAY , but its taken me a while to catch on hehehe and really its not funny, he's too smart , MY question is how can i break this Habit of what he's doing , I cant get back to sleep for ages and i'm tired he has a pillow on the bottom of his crate ............? what does your dog sleep on if in a crate please suggestions greatly appreciated DACCYDOG the one with dark circles under her eyes and yawning all the time
  16. Just to add : I purchased a bag of royal canin sensible food yesterday and i think its done the trick , no vomiting, all poo"s looking good too fingers xed Daccydog
  17. Hi SnT I purchased royal canin hypoallergenic, the vet assured me that it would be ok , unfortunately it wasn't to be , poor little man I ended up buying RC mini and a tin of ZD food to mix in , so far he's been ok so fingers crossed till ZD comes back on to the shelf DD
  18. Is anyone else having this problem buying science diet zd ultra dog food , this is the only food that my boy can have and i've had such a problem getting it , the vet suggested buying royal canin prescipt, but this doesnt agree with him and made him vomit I haven't been on here a while due to moving , so apologies if anyone else has put the same topic on Daccydog
  19. I'm moving to the Blue Mountains Springwood NSW area, can anyone recomend a vet in this area thank you DD
  20. From the owner of a very itchy miss J the daccy girl i can highly recommend calendula tea recipe thanks to Erny, but unfortunately my little one has got a secondary infection from scratching so much that she now needs an antibiotic , poor babe has insect bites all over her head , , she has never been this bad before DD
  21. I used some of this the other night mixed with there normal dry kibble ......NO ........yucckky poooos next morning All i used was a desert spoon ..... maybe good for some and not for others DD
  22. Morning all I took my 2 dogs to the dog park yesterday afternoon , there were a few newbies there that had no manners, and it occurred to me about DOGS body language and how little i knew about it for instance there was a newbie there that was being very cautious and his/her tail was pointed straight out ? just wondering if that meant anything can you let me know different signs of body language and what it all means , many thanks DD
  23. I've often wondered if it would be better to feed my two in the morning instead of the evening as then they have time to do all there business/poop during the whole day ,instead of a six oclock run in the morning to do poop's ?especially as i crate one of mine DD
  24. I tried supercoat with my mini daccy, (and she would eat just about anything ) the only problem i found is that she did massive piles of poo several times a day :D , so it was back to royal canin with nice little poos DD
