solarcaine has local anaesthetic .....

:) sounding good!

:) when he was younger, it was cold . Now it's warm ..and he probably feels he doesn't need the kennel? the other thing is to watch where he DOES sleep ..and put the kennel there (if under shade) . You could also feed him in the kennel every day. It all boils down to his decision though :)

. :( This does not read well.

How long are you away for? make sure you leave food easily available ..cut up, packaged, whatever . Also write down clearly what is to be fed, how much, and what times. Write down symptoms to look for, vet's phone number and your wishes .

That's pretty amazing . Your next visit ..we need to see photos of each breed :p

we have a couple of dogs who would attack the cats ..( dogs who we got in as adults) we are very careful , but luckily the others are fine. That reminds me - D'oh.... I shall muzzle them when i have them where they may spot a cat ! :)

Ni i i c e :) :)

Crying with you ......

I am so very sorry Chicken . She was a stable presence for you .. and those memories are wonderful . Run happy and whole over the bridge, Fern..your job is done :)

:) sounds fun .

ha ha, me too!! :)

Did you get blood tests done ?What did they show? Oh ..have you spoken with his breeder? They may have some ideas , and can let you know if there is anything to watch out for :) Glad he's eating again!!

there is quite a bit of discussion on that ... Glad you finally have a diagnosis ..and yes, he would have been in pain anyhow .. have a read thru these threads :) LINK LINK LINK LINK

"Not FOR" in every single case? "NOT FOR" where the problem seems to be a total lack of training ? "NOT FOR" in the case of puppies ? "Not FOR" if the other choice of the owner is to euthanase the dog/s ?

They can bark, of course ..it's just quieter /different. Like a lot of people sing.... but so out of tune , and they continue to sing, as they don't realise :)

This weather both my dog and cat sleep on the floor ..no bedding :)

:)esp a gorgeous slinky Oriental!

has he had a thorough vet check ? ie : blood tests /hormone levels .... You can always try some FELIWAY spray stuff ... it is a 'feel good' pheremone , available from vets , etc. I'm sure there are training tips from teh cat folks on here :)

The cat one is good :)

She was! She races ahead ..and then waits for me to hobble along :p

The AB's will help in a day or three , poor Maybe.

Hmmm . The house dogs all get fed as they get put to bed ... They have a toilet run beforehand .. Then have their dinner in bed .Workers get fed in the evening - no set time. Mind you, house dogs also get toast crusts/meat offcuts /left over cat food etc. during the day :)

ROOOOLLLLFFFF :) :)
