Aloveen!

omg, that poor dog.

Definitely crate inside. I would reconsider the hot water bottle too. Won't be long until he can eat it.

Xrays show arthritis so at least it's good news re surgery!

Thanks Lani! Ive left her with Michael Eaton at St Ives vet for radiographs. He is lovely I wish I had known about him before!

If you enquire in the market place someone might be able to custom make one.

I think in conjunction with training it would help. I wouldn't leave it any longer though. Have you thought about making him wear a belly band? eta: snap Sas.

HE'S the pooch with the paunch. Six-year-old French bulldog Hugo hits the scales at a healthy 13kg but is considered too heavy to live in a Brisbane city apartment. British actor Gabrielle Amies has had Hugo since he was 10-weeks old but unless her canine companion can trim down he won't be able to move into the upmarket luxury sky home. Gabrielle, who has a string of independent movies to her name, bought the million-dollar-plus two-level apartment ahead of moving to Australia at the end of September. The only problem is the tower has a 10kg maximum weight limit on pets. And that means Hugo, who flew out ahead of his owner and is staying with Gabrielle's family on the northern New South Wales coast, has just two months to drop 3kg. Gabrielle said Hugo had been placed on a diet of raw kangaroo meat and spinach and was going on two or three walks a day including a run along the beach. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. She's confident he will make the weigh-in deadline and that Aurora's current residents will fall in love with their doggie neighbour. "They did in London, especially his neighbour the actor Kevin Spacey," she said. Colliers International real estate agent Michael Gambaro said Aurora was one of only a handful of pet-friendly buildings in the CBD, but more developers were accommodating pets in their new projects.

They mentioned something about ligament issue but honestly I don't think they are really even sure. How expensive is this arthroscopy? I hate to sound rude but it shouldn't matter, you need to get to the bottom of the problem... That's a bit rough. I like to research prices too. It doesn't mean I don't care about the dog but it means I can start planning my finances

Yeh, I think it's something like 75% chance that if they do one they will rupture the other. I guess I'm thankful that Gertie had them both repaired at once. I can't get back to the specialist who did her surgery for over a week so have booked her in to another good vet tomorrow to see what they say.

About a year ago my Shih Tzu had both patellas and cruciates repaired ($$$ ) I think she may have done one again. Has anyone had this happen and if so how many times and how long ago? I'm wondering if it will be an ongoing thing.

Mmm, I was told that by a Veterinary Behaviourist

Testosterone takes many months to leave the dogs system. Rule of thumb is around 5 months before any changes, if any, will be seen due to lack of testosterone. I would say your dog simply responded to something else during that week. There is no way desexing would make a difference that quickly.

God he's cute.

Could you appeal to the agent for a dog door if you pay for it?

Martingales when walked separately, however...........!!! A few days ago I bought two Kumalong Harnesses and OMG it has changed my world. The Staffs pull when walked together. Not anymore with their harnesses, I love them

No, it's not her. Sorry.

Oooo, I know someone who was offered that job but I don't know if she took it or not. If it is her, she's lovely and very motivating.

Keep us posted

You might be thankful for a dopey Wei, they are pretty full on I think posting pics still in the breeders care and expressing public concern is a bit off though. I would probably remove them

This is actually very common. Breeders know the temp of the pups best and match them to potential owners accordingly.

I'm thinking maybe that dodgy Bulldog breeder...

What breed is the pup?

Terriers often 'air snap' when they're excited.

Just gorgeous. I can't believe how fast the time has passed
