Nooooo - little Bo is a terrific worker ..and a lovely gentle soul around people - like a pirhana when anyone comes near her boss or anything of his though! Her favourite thing is to be allowed inside and to sleep on one of the armchairs .... she never moves :) Smoke is tiny ..but yesterday , I called him, woke him up ( good-ears are working !) I then waggled my hand ..and he came to investigate :) So - all seems to be working as it should .

Thank goodness we just have the one - and the mum is Bo - a little red girl ! We haven't had a blue dog here for about 30 years - we had one just like this fella - very handsome ! and they were unrelated to these anyhow . Must be from Don's (unknown) father's family ...

yes, I'm glad I caught the teef :)

In his twilight ,if all he wants to eat is steak & eggs , cream buns , or fish & chips - I'd give it to him , were he mine :)

this is Boof - he lives next door :)

nekh - the belladonna is in a homeopathic dose ..... scientifically there would be no trace of the chemical found .

I would seriously doubt a 'calmative' like ltryptophan/B complex would make aggression vanish. Over time, I would hope to see some relaxing happening, allowing you to use the training better :) One dog being aggressive to another doesn't mean the aggressor is uptight , or stressed , AFAIK .The younger dog may ,indeed be calm & confident - in wanting the other dog GONE . Thanks for updating :)

All being well there will be photos - and again, all being well, he will want to earn his living, and stay here !

he is "Smoke" :)

fair enough

Mr Accidental will hopefully be a goat/sheep worker ..and will sleep outside like everyone else :) His mum is only young, but a fantastic little worker, as was/is her mum! - so hopefully he gets that from her!

Any reason you can't just use a collar?

"Smoke" :)

Whilst I believe homeopathy has its uses - no way would I use it as a "vaccination" for anything

i too thought of bird-type goose ! :)

it may have broken - but I reckon the vet would need to be a good entomologist to choose between several types of insects which have stings ;) Either way - I hope you now have a good plan for next time :)

The yellow flakes look to me like there has been a serum oozing from inflamed skin ..this has dried, and the yellow remains . Lots of betadine :)

Wasps do not lose their stings as they are not barbed like those of bees ..they sting multiple times, then fly away . Bees lose their stingers, and intestines , and die .... I am glad he is feeling better . I never laugh at allergic reactions - AFAIK , with a lot of what you can SEE - there is often the same swelling happening inside the body - not funny at all . ( yes, a party pooper, sorry)

????????

woohoo!

Shanks are OK if you watch him ..and take them away once he has eaten all the meat :) they are hard and can splinter, yes. NON weight bearing bones are better - they don't splinter , and can be all nicely crunched up :) Try turkey wings/necks!! mine love them :)

..and until you get blood test results /diagnosis ... perhaps leave off consulting the herbal nutritionist ..... is he on any herbal medication/supplements?

Ok - get the vet to do bloods& urine tests ... this time . - if he's anaemic it could be from all sorts of things , and it seems now a matter of urgency to have him thoroughly checked .It would be good to have an answer - a relief for you. pale may be his colour .. but the vet will test . Oh - have you spoken with his breeder at all ? has pup had a heartworm injection or anything ? best of luck .

Try to not get so wound up - THIS alone, will be affecting pup, who now has a bad vibe from food /feeding time wherever he is relaxed ..be it outside , or in a room ... leave him with a couple of different MEATY bones ,some vegemite toast, some grated cheese , and a bowl full of the kibble . do NOT hover , or babytalk, or try & keep him close to you to eat. Do not even LOOK at him ..just carry on about your daily routine ..and see what happens over the next hour or two keep your other dog crated or tied ....but still in sight of pup. poor pup - he now sees feeding time as torture ....
