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 ....

He is on anti-inflamms/painkillers, isn't he ? IMO, having much less pain would be making him feel much more comfortable . so maybe taking it slow, so as not to possibly cause damage ..just cos he may not be feeling pain, doesn't mean there's no problem ... HOPING it was a temporary thing ..bu thinking there may still be something niggling . :) glad he is feeling better , anyway !!!

Blimey, what goes on in your dog park?

as you cannot tell what this person was thinking ... not sure how you know this. If fear is strong enough ..one innate reaction is self defence , using whatever comes to hand . It may not be 'correct'/acceptable/legal but it happens ..exactly the same instinct as a reactive dog ..
