poor old fella ..... What a way to end an era.

can you feed roo tails with the meat on them , and some veg oil or some fat of some sort? Feed her several small meals a day of roo/sweet potato , so the quantity is increased .. My Mitchell , who had multiple allergies , and lived a lot of his life on & fresh raw meat/bones with boiled up vege/fruit peel scraps was on prednil ( anti histamine/cortisone ) for most of the 10 yrs I had him . It increased his weight in latter years , but that's about all .

perhaps the ducts are just drying up..and not producing ?

.. maybe the dose needs adjusting ? Plastic covers on the couches ;) ...or ,if you can , have a look at these . . CLICK HERE... I use their human bed pads for elderly dogs and cats ... they make very good products :)

Jules, can you explain your circumstances to the specialist/s and get app'ts on the same day ???

Oh, jellyblush .... I hope roo was OK ...

She is imported, and it was done o/s. It is quite normal o/s for it to be done especially for those working as true flock guardians in the mountains etc it would give predators less to grab hold of good plan :) She is lovely -looking :)

Ohhhh ! O...K.... 80 kg !! ermm, has his mother had earflaps and tail removed? Good idea for very cold conditions , I guess... no chance of frostbite.

My gosh! Just look at that bone ! how large will he grow?

:D :D !

That is a nice read , thanks. :)

Not what is needed .. any chance it's a UTI ?

maybe try & film what goes on first ?

Same here :)

females will hump as well .... in excitement / and when challenging .... I have had desexed males and females with less humping than females/females ...

:) Thanks for the update!

if fed LARGE meaty bones etc ...they can and do use those back molars ..although they have no need to masticate thoroughly , as their stomach acids are well equipped to easily break down bones/gristle /keratin , etc .

I have heard of it , but have never seen probs with dogs fed both.

I think I might have had the same one - black and white BC look with loop sided ears but with maybe a little something else added - a very serious wise looking maybe older dog ! I liked the survey because it made me think of my preconceptions of BC's - I really thought through my answers and debated with myself if I was answering because I thought it was a BC or actually answering about the specific photo. :) could well have been the same face !

You might like to se other discussions like that on D O L :) here are a few for you ( MUCH better than some blog from USA ;) ) LINK LINK LINK

Don't think it was Elsie, either ...now I'm confused

From memory this one was shorter coated and had those 'fold up ears' ..the ones which sort of have a crease lengthwise , like a paper plane :0

Oh Bother ..now I've gone a-googling!! Ruthless makes amazing things !!! I searched for Australian ,handmade ; and am now busy drooling ... (links in no particular order) LINK LINK LINK

Could be my Aussie! Her ears were silly in the photo :laugh: as she black/white - no tan eyebrows or other facial colours ...?

:) Good to hear ! It will take time .... but being happy and eating/playing is fantastic.
