Yeap straight down the throat here on one of mine , BUT miss Jilly has a knack of spitting it back up ( how.. i do not know ) worst still i usually find the tab on the floor later on , so now i give her tab wrapped in a little bit of cheese , GONE and no drama's

DD

morning all

this post is to thank ERNY and her calendula tea recipe ,

Miss Jilly had the worst grass allergy and the calendula tea helped it so much... .. it aided to ease the skin, as the rash was so bad, it was even into her ears, As well as her tummy , and even luckier that it didnt spread into a secondary infection

AMAZING !!!

many thanks Erny

DD

Now where else would they be... next to there mum ....my computer is in the garage half for the car and half for an office I have a cane lounge in here and they really think it belongs to them and the lounge is right next to the computer desk so they can keep an eye on ME if i move ;)

DD

I'm so glad Charlotte has found a beautiful home , she looks a sweetie

as for watching the show ..... sickening ... I do hope most of the other dogs have found good homes

and as for $9000. fine ... ............. I shake my head such a paltry amount

DD

Yeap my 2 daccys do the same thing , nothing much to worry about though , i'm sure it goes down the wrong way

DD

She'll be woofing her way over that Bridge.

Rozzie so sad that you have lost your little lady Abbey ......RIP Abbey

and special birthday wishes for her

grass contact allergy is the bane of my life - though we get quite a good result with Evening Primrose Oil vet grade shampoo from groomers, have also been giving the food supplement.

at its worst recently it was weeping and oozing and red all over her tummy a week of washing has seen the redness settling and the itching settling, by no means 100 per cent but improved

am about to try paw paw ointment to help moisturise the area at night

Thankyou for your replies, I have used polaromine previously with good sucess , but the chemist had run out of it ? thats why I got claratyne, again thanks

DD

Hi Everyone

my miss Jilly has a grass allegy rash atm, i have just brought some Claratyne 10mg to try but i am unsure of the correct dosage

she weighs 6.5kgs , can anyone help me

many thanks

Hi Stitch

we have spoken before about this dreadful disease Collitis

my boy has now been on science diet zd for about a month now , with hopefully success at last (maybe )

he is a changed dog and lot more happier and settled , his motions are still not 100% but slowly getting there

The last attack he had, he was so sick we thought we were going to lose him, I honestly think its not a stress/anxiety problem with my boy but a immune system problem ,

I also really like the sound of slippery elm for the digestive track , but wouldnt be game enough to try anything new at this stage

I have spent a lot of money on vet bills , and even got a second opinion , and nothing changed , i know its quite overwhelming when your dog suffers from this disease

good luck with your dog

DD

Hello everyone

Can anyone recommend, a homeopath vet on the sunshine coast QLD

preferably one that you have tried with your pet and been happy with ,

Thankyou

DD

redarachnid thanks for reply

my dog has also been on many antibotic tablets , including cortisone

like you I went to another vet in complete desperation , well he has been home for a week now appears to be ok,but still on medication

so its fingers crossed there isnt anther flare up soon,

DD

Thankyou for your replies

my boys problem has gone off/on for 6 mths , and I truely believe he has a low immune system , since he was a puppy there has always been problems with different food ,but not to the extent he has now, he is 5yrs old now

Anyway he spent all of last week in hospital on a drip and antibotic meds , came home saturday much better ( thought we were going to lose him)in the early part of the week

our vet diagnosed him in January and has done bloods and fecal test with nothing showing up, he is now on science diet zd only, i've read a lot of negetive reports about this product though,

In may he had another very light bout of collitis , so i tried a different vet , she suggested feeding eukanuba f/p fish and potato , which i did but after a few weeks of this diet this latest servere bout came upon him again ,

so it was back to my original vet , after spending lots of dollars and gettting the same result

anyway again thankyou for you input , perhaps i should try outside the circle to a homeopath, it is so confusing and hard to deal with when you think that youve always done your very best with diets ,

DD

Hello everyone

is there any one on here, that there dog has suffered with colitis and there ongoing treatment

I want to compare notes

thankyou DD

Hi there Flyingfurball

This post is very interesting as I'm going through the exact same thing, I actually posted in the daccy thread on wednesday eve my problem which is the same as yours I feel mine is definatley a dominance issue ?

I Know i have done everything possible to prevent her going nuts at other dogs , if i use a check chain or a collar she ends up vomiting, because she pulls so hard , even with me saying no no , so now i use a harness which has helped immesley with that particular problem

my dog attacked a beagle the other night , no skin broken but a dominance thing again , the unfortunate thing is we met in a lane way between houses , if only i had seen them coming , and i would have gone the other way,

lets hope someone can come up with some suggestions for us both

DD

OOPS SORRY GUYS i got a bit carried away and forgot where i was

DD

thanks everyone for you interest in my post

Hi everyone

I took my dog Jack to the vet today

he has been diagnosed with colitis , poor thing was straining so hard to do poops , he is on scourban , anti biotic s, and is to be wormed

actually the vet said , it can be caused by poor diet or allergy , the poor diet really hurt as i dont think he has a poor diet by any means

anyway he is to have chicken rice and a few vegs for a few weeks to see if this makes any difference to him

If anyone else has a dog that suffers with colitis can you let me know what you feed him

many thanks

Daccydog

BIG thankyou to all

I've had a chat with another neighbour friend . who has kindly offered to take them for a walk for about an hour whilst where away , hopefully it will make her verrry tired, fingers xed anyway

chemo will only go on for another two weeks, then on to radiotherapy now this will not take as long,

thanks DACCYDOG

I know it may not be the best option but my dog looks forward to us leaving now because that's when she gets all her toys and treats. We give her 2 kongs, some other rubber toys and usually a bit of something to chew like a pigs ear or trotter. Sometimes she also gets her breakfast in her treat ball. She has some other toys she plays with when we are at home (rope toy and frisbee) and her special toys only come out when we leave.

Hi lead & feather

yes i left her with a kong filled with biscuits , and a small bone , which she always buries in the garden :D

and of course her toys too, i really dont know what else to do ??????

thanks DD :D

Hi DD

Although the neighbours think they're doing the right thing, they may well be inadvertently reinforcing the behaviour by giving the dog attention when she cries. I've heard rescue remedy can be quite effective but I think you need to get to the source of the problem as well.

A couple of questions for you....When you are home, are the dogs inside or outside? When you are out, are the dogs inside or outside? How much time do the dogs spend alone apart from these six hours? It would really help for a start if you could give a little info along these lines :p

Hope your husband's chemo is going as well as can be expected :D

Hi Spotted devil

thanks for your input,

when where at home the dogs are inside and outside, but sleep inside, but when we go out, they are outside , the only reason being is she the youngest would chew anything insight ? Maybe separation anxiety?????, They have a kong, toys, i leave a bone with my neighbour who gives it to them about an hour after we leave

I always feel bad for the older one as he is such a gooood dog

the only other time they would be left alone would be about 1 - 2 hours general shopping ect,

My hubby's chemo is going ok , but he has been very ill at times , not good

thanks again DD :D

Hi Everyone

Once a week we leave our two dogs for about six hours at one time , whilst i take my husband to hospital for chemotherapy

the older daccy doesnt care and is good, but our youngest 18mths old daccy is fretting when we leave and cries

I know this as our neighbours tell us when we get home , they are very good and try and talk to her and in return shes quite for a little while,but starts again

any suggestions would be appreciated as what to do , I can remember reading about rescue remedy ? but unsure how this works and if its safe enough

kind regards

Daccydog :rolleyes:

Hi daccydog here

I'd just like to say that i have only just started to feed my two cooked food

for the following reasons

my female daccy would eat anything that you could give her and untill recently all RAW

but MY Male daccy 4yrs old who was always feed raw meat chicken ,vegies plus bones

some how every couple months he would get diareah which always ended up with a trip to the vet

the last straw was the female got it to , i'd brought chicken breast from woolies

the vet said it must have been spoilt and giving it raw only increased there reason to get sick

so I have changed there food menu , I still give them raw bones and chicken necks but cook there main meal with vegs and give them eukanuba biscuits for there breed half and half

I too have worried if this is a sufficient menu , but looking at the both of them they look so well with beautiful shiney coats and of course no vet visits or smelly bums (longhair) such a bonus

regards daccydog

Hi All

this is just a quick message to say a big thankyou to all the DOL and the great topics that are on the forum

on saturday night after a huge downpour of rain, i put our little daccy (terror child ) out for night time pee

well what does she spot a nice big cane toad for supper , well she of course came off second best, just as well i was standing there at the time !!!

anyway what i'm trying to say is that i'd read in the forums of how to treat a cane toad squirt and was able to deal with it straight away

it was such a shock to see all the froth in her mouth so quickly

sunday morning i took her to the vet and all is ok

many thanks

daccydog's mum

any suggestions
