  1. :) poor giddy ! here's hoping for calm now :)
  2. ..Sounds as if you are doing teh right thing, and I hope you find someone close by :)
  3. 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.
  4. I have NO idea, but really want to see pics ;) pleease???? esp of a toller puddle :p
  5. poor boy - perhaps his eyesight has deteriorated quickly? get a good vet to do everything - bloods, & eye check included
  6. Glad it did help ... and that she is eating . :)
  7. 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 ..
  8. messy op, painful, and post op care can be tricky ....
  9. 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 .....
  10. 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
  11. I am evil elf lord ... I will destroy cat!
  12. 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
  13. 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 :)
  14. .Hmmm... Living rural , I am much more sensitive to, and annoyed by barking dogs a mile or so away than I would be in the suburbs!! There are no other noises to 'block it out' ..or to get ears used to switching off ...and yes, I have lived in the city .... as for debarking - I have no real concerns if it means the dogs can remain alive & happy :) They still bark , but it is a lot softer noise ......
  15. ..It wasn't funny at the time ..just wanted to get out & up ;) caltrop & three corner jacks are horrible things
