Border Collie Pup - Red Patch On Snout
persephone replied to katiegrrl88's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
:D so glad you now at least have a diagnosis - and perhaps a new vet ! ( actually betadine is what I use here ..and have had no problems - however for that particular thing it may not be suitable :) ) -
Chicken necks are a bit dangerous if they are swallowed whole ... wings are very fatty ... You can easily feed your dog 3 small meals ..brekky ... early tea... late supper.... :) PLEASE see an experienced person .The longer you fiddle with food , the more your dog is uncomfortable and you have no idea of what is happening inside
-
So Sorry Rozzie ... that is a very long partnership.... Columbus takes with him an awful lot of wisdom to share at the bridge :)
-
...oohh .. a Dog Den in the making . A place of cuddles and cute and comfort - actually it sounds pretty good.
-
yes! Don't give up/in just yet . get on that phone VERY early in the morning ..have all the facts ready ..and seek good advice.
-
There must be someone wise 'in the industry' you can phone/email...............how horrible.
-
is there any provision to say cancel a lease within 24 hours or something???? That sounds a fail - fail situation I'm sorry.
-
..and why do you HAVE to change the sleeping on bed habit ? After all - it is something you have now taught him. ... if you wanted him to sleep elsewhere- that's where he should be now - secured ,so he cannot run around teh yard barking all night and learning BAD habits like chasing cats/possums/rats /fence fighting , etc ....
-
:) I LOVE that bed ..great size , and nice walls against which to snuggle , and to help stop drafts . he is a very cute boy :)
-
So sorry . Jessie was such a pretty girl .. and looked to enjoy herself :)
-
hey! it's YOUR money she is taking - it is YOUR right to ask for a referral :)

The cosy bed is in one end and the other seems to be a tray with a puppy pad. Oh.... might try different glasses - ta rozzie.
-
I have owned/worked with many many dogs ..and haven't found things like this happening ...yes, maybe our dogs need a few small meals rather then one large ..but our dogs eat the same foods all their lives... I will suggest you find another vet - one who will do blood/urine/faecal tests to actually help find a CAUSE .... By checking all these- the vet and you know what is floating around inside- what is being processed,and how..and what is being excreted .... well worth the cost for a case like this ....
-
..I hope your dog will have collar free time - these seem to me as if they act like a neck brace ... where dog can not curve its neck ..and has a firm/hard edge pressing up behind its ears all the time . What if you measure wrong and get one too long? .... These look a bit more comfortable..and they are sold locally ! CLICK When we are around, and dogs need to not chew- I use a muzzle! much easier and non restrictive , if sized correctly :) perhaps one of THESE would keep you and dog happy ?
-
..is it just me ..or is that 'potty' looking just like a cosy bed?
-
The happiest cavs I have known were a pack who lived on a small property with cattle, lots of birds to chase away from a vineyard ..and plenty of obedience training . they were also shown!
-
I have only met a few of teh lagotto breed - I fell in love with two who lived at a winery some years back . One was standoffish..one was an absolute darling ..they were there to greet the public etc ..and looked so impressive :) not sure what standard poodle temperament is like now ..but I do remember them as being very smart ..and show offs ..and irresistible :) And, yes to playing with a ball etc!
-
and this is vitally important - he has a companion ..AND access to indoor/outdoor . he is not alone and outside .
-
Poor old boy. What tests did the vet do to see how his internal workings are working? Very hard to find a food to suit if you do not know what exactly to avoid ....... Can he tolerate eggs - whole raw, or lightly cooked?

Aggression Between Dogs In The Same Household
persephone replied to Salukifan's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
Happens here .... mostly the boys . one in particular tends to fight first/ask questions later . The bitches only fight very rarely ..but on one occasion have had one end in death by fighting for one , and death by human for the survivor. -
,,don't know if all breeds mentioned are in here- but have a look thru the D O L "dog breeds 101 " :D CLICK here
-
What attracts you to these very different breeds ? Is there something they have in common? :) Coat/grooming Trainability? supposed intelligence? Size? novelty? health status/lack of possible genetic problems? It's an interesting choice .

I hope it works, but am not sure how a new cream will work if the cause is not known ? is the cream a cortisone type, or an antibacterial/fungal type ? -
lillypilly - what a beauty- and SO close!! :)
