What a very helpful pack you have! :)

She's always very enthusiastic ..just wish she showed the same interest in sheepwork

..just not quite so effusively !! I could NOT remove BoBo from my neck without removing skin ..so tried to see what it looked like :p Oh dear ..very flattering ...not! But funny :D

I would also suggest you contact Werribee . They are a hospital..and have access to anything your little one will need . :)

just a perhaps ..she is anxious at night, cos something truly awful happened to her Monday night. in the dark?.... ?? Do you have a D A P diffuser? That may be a very useful thing .. or Rescue Remedy ? Apply it to bare skin on head /neck every 1/2 hr or so as darkness falls ?

When did she have the caesar? day or night?Maybe she associates night time with pain & confusion? do you put extra heating on at night? could she be too warm? I also think, perhaps a light be left on for her ...and maybe a radio? Does she curl up more at night? could the wound be a bother? poor girl.

Perhaps then, a dermatologist would be a sensible step?

Thinking of you and the little fella .... and really hoping the breeder will give you support .

It can be ... Think about what may happen if he has surgery , and problems while recovering ... if you have him at home, are you going to be nervous wrecks ...watching/ anticipating/worrying ? For how long? Are you prepared for high extra costs of hospitalisation if something doesn't go as planned ? Heart V Head is a hard one.

Please contact the breeder ..they do need to know ....perhaps they have seen it before and can offer help/suggestions.... perhaps they have never heard of it ..and so now know it can happen . he is/was 'their' puppy ..and , if I was his breeder, I would be very upset if I was not told this was happening. I hope you are taking care of yourself .... My decision would more than likely be to give this little guy his wings , and be glad that he was no longer suffering .

Hi How awful for you, seeing this puppy so ill. I will also ask - has his breeder been notified? You obviously have fallen in love with this pup ... and I know that feeling well :) There is lots to consider regarding agreeing to surgery/treatment - you and the breeder need to discuss all the options with the vet/specialist ..and decide which road you're taking... Not easy.

In that closeup tail pic..is the red ..discharge from the 'blister' ? It seems most odd to me that something as innocent as an allergy reaction 'blister' would take so long to heal ..and now a nose one, too Did the vet do a biopsy? HOW OLD IS YOUR LITTLE DOG? (EXCUSE 'SHOUTING', MY CAT HAS HIS NOSE ON CAPSLOCK )

:) awwwww :)

DerRottweiler .. I am very sorry that you lost your gorgeous Bison ... Thank you for sharing your/his story . Bison was such a loved boy ..

his eyes are the best thing he inherited from his cocker mum . She was little & black with beautiful eyes , apparently.

:p

, nekhbet. Snowy would probably you if you get him a BIG bone ..like a turkey neck or a BIG chicken neck .... that's a couple of meals right there- meals he has to work at getting..not like slurping up rice & mince :) It will keep him happy for an hour or so chewing , and as nekhbet says .. that long period of SIDEWAYS chewing as they get meat off bone, is what cleans teeth..not a 'chomp, chomp"-swallow

:)

Sorry you have had such a bad week ... You didn't say just how abusive the woman was ... Your husband probably got a shock ..I can imagine ..... and the only positive I can see is that at least there is someone else out there who does care about cleanup duties :)

My suggestion would also be to mince up soft bone ..or buy food with it in :) AS for teeth cleaning .. maybe you will need to brush them?

I'm sure there will be lots of suggestions posted for you :)

O my - I love that apricot rose ......and, yes, "audrey" !! LOL

if 8 is 'old' .., that is :) here is Hamlet with his 'trick'..... picking up dropped items and giving them to me :) he loves it - so do I!

I was given the 'talkative' one 8 yrs on ..he doesn't shut up !:)

I always find the waiting the worst ....
