  1. I also suggest phoning a vet :) It will be red & there will be bruising in there as well , most likely . It could well be like any bump, & disappear in its own time . BUT , at least speaking with a vet, and maybe sending them the photo/s will help with decisions .
  2. :) poor giddy ! here's hoping for calm now :)
  3. ..Sounds as if you are doing teh right thing, and I hope you find someone close by :)
  4. is the little girl younger than the others? Does she have any different movements /way of talking ..... is she on any medicines? Dogs experience things so differently to us ... and notice many things we do not :) I hope you can get some assistance soon.
  5. I have NO idea, but really want to see pics ;) pleease???? esp of a toller puddle :p
  6. poor boy - perhaps his eyesight has deteriorated quickly? get a good vet to do everything - bloods, & eye check included
  7. Glad it did help ... and that she is eating . :)
  8. Hormones help with growth & development - remove hormones too early, and there may be effects because muscles etc didn't grow properly . Sphincter muscles , as in the bladder can be affected ..
  9. messy op, painful, and post op care can be tricky ....
  10. Someone commented that Gertie didn't look thrilled ... I know Gertie had two choices . Look Thrilled Stay upright . She's pretty wobbly , in about her mid teens .....
  11. IMO - the vet is not being truthful ..... MUCH cheaper and better for the little dog if she is speyed now - then there are no worries of pregnancy/whelping disasters. the vet perhaps wants the extra custom? IF this is what the vet said - there is a chance they did say 'let the bitch have a season' .... tricky in itself - and a horrible happening if a larger dog get near her
  12. I am evil elf lord ... I will destroy cat!
  13. have no idea about pet loos . if he is happy with fake grass - then a square placed on one of the conni pet pads may suit :) The conni pads absorb HEAPS , have waterproff backing ..and are machine washable - dry quickly
  14. I deally you need 'snuggly' stuff ... a wet viszla with almost no coat will get very cold very fast ... and if the kennel lets wind in ..or is exposed to the cold & wet , she won't get warm really .... I would also suggest some of those 'fleece' blankets .. and if you have an opshop near you - look there for cheap woollen blankets - wool is a perfect bedding, as even when damp it stays warm ..and can absorb a lot of moisture before being 'wet' . Here in the bush ..our dog kennels have raw wool piled in for the dogs in Winter - we are lucky :)
