That's one for the vet and you ... It's a tricky one - cos if she's still a bit dopey , and sore and feeling ill , she may benefit from the warmth and drip and observation ? Obviously if she's brighter and walking ..then home would probably be a happier place :D
-
Hmmm..yes... her being in care overnight would maybe allow you to relax a bit more , and not check every few minutes ....

My dogs are left outside all day if i am not home. they just sleep, and enjoy the sun, Bark at the postman and resume sleeping. But report me to the rspca for their terrible lives ;) They are a companion breed, but they are also dogs. Yeh but Denali - you're in Q where your days (generally) aren't as cool as the OPs. And you have three for company and you're an experienced owner. True! One little puppy or dog is a lot different to two or three :)

Great update ! :)

Getting A Big Dog A Small Dog Friend....
persephone replied to EllieDog's topic in General Dog Discussion
having TWO pups - one of them needing ALL your attention and work doesn't sound much fun to me ;) many labs do not do adult until around 2 yrs of age ...and I would never put a small puppy with a boisterous lab - small things break too easily -
Oh :) So that's what he's doing these days . I knew him way back in the 80's! He was the best then - did all the Guide Dogs' testing /orthopaedic surgery , and fixed my Mitch's luxating patella beautifully . *resume normal programming* sorry for the hijack

ouch she doesn't have to be in the house :) Take her out frequently in the car! Take her to places where she can smell/hear/see all sorts of things . I suggest you consult a specialist ... a new pair of eyes ..some expert knowledge never goes astray . Best of luck with it - poor girl .

How Good Is Your Dog's Internal Clock?
persephone replied to Roova's topic in General Dog Discussion

Submissive Peeing And Increase In Anxiety

Oh :) Surprise ending!! Take care , hasten slowly ..and POST PHOTOS . -
Chooks are seen by some folks as fluffy friendly egglayers ..not the omnivorous hunters and strict social critters they are :) Chooks are excellent mousers!! They also love grasshoppers ,snails & suchlike . Chooks can indeed inflict injury ...Glad you stopped running your rabbit with them ! the hawk would be my concern if you have chooks ;)

Smart dog ! Picture this ;) chaff gets poured into Bruce's trough this morning ..and he dives in and starts munching . Lifts up his head to chew , whereupon a group of apostlebirds land in the trough and begin searching out stray grains amongst the chaff . Each time Bruce tries to grab a mouthful, he is met by wings & claws!! Poor Bruce .He turned away ... i did have some seed for the birds , so they were then happy to leave the sheep food for the sheep! They have no hesitation in swooping down and having sharp claws connect with my scalp if I have no food visible !!

Funny , I have never been concerned with crows taking any babies here ... must admit, have never seen them take anything mammalian alive , either . They will take eggs , dog food, oranges,catch insects tear off flesh from dead fish /animals ..and of course, remove eyes/soft tissue from ill or incapacitated animals. Our pups are free range .. as chickens used to be , and kittens , years ago . Foxes were the main problem ..and feral cats . Kirislin ..urban crows are more likely to be looking for dog bones/food scraps . There is no way a crow would tackle a dog .... they are just not equipped to hold/grab/kill - they have no talons , or curved beak .Their bones are very fine and legs can be easily shattered ... yes, I believe they would pluck small nestling birds from a nest ..they are small and feeble , and mostly not more than a mouthful or two ... insects like grasshoppers..snails , and tiny rodents are also eaten . As crows (ravens) usually eat where they find their food ( unless they have a nest and young) Expending energy on attacking something large is wasted unless the prey is in a very isolated area , where feeding can happen uninterrupted . Don't worry about Secret :)

A family trait is to 'air snap' ..here's Ash's version this morning . I love it when he does it for attention .... he just lies there ..and then 'click clack '.... :) https://www.facebook.com/belinda.hansen.bushwoman/videos/10153725741259007/
