@AsherPup How is your little dog ?

Congratulations

food coma time ....

Oh. Thanks for that

yes..that smaller one I doubt will fledge ..it is losing ground to my eyes.

Eating again

Sounds like it would have been fun

No grass in which to roll, but Pudden rolls anyway ...:)

Aww... damn cats! he has a gorgeous face..stinky, fighty tom that he may be

hi Sorry to hear there are problems .... When you say "rescue" , from where did you get her ? privately, or a pound, or a shelter ? How long has she been with you now ? What is your daily routine ..yours with your dog's ? What does she do when people come to the house ? Which picture does she most look like then ? CLICK ON THE PICTURE to see a larger version . Which picture describes her best when she won't come to you ? What ARE her very favourite things ? Toys? Cuddles? Racing around? Being massaged? Being left alone ? Chewing a big bone ? Sounds as if you are both a tad stressed

Such a huge loss. Zeph's grin and presence online will be missed . take care of you & yours .Run free, Gorgeous boy ..grin big.

@mita hello and what terrific outcomes !!

he,he,he.... they are fascinating , as they 'discover' parts of their bodies ...practise their grabbing and tearing skills ...and yesterday's wing flapping was pretty good!! I tune in every so often .

Not really ... it was only for a few days in my goat ... I rubbed it on the skin ..and gave her 40 or so ml per mouth a couple times a day . Tried to squirt some up into the teat ...but...no go ..this goat had never been milked or anything! She was so swollen she could hardly move one leg ..and was very sore ..losing interest in some foods .......yet after a few days she was SO much better .

You say you love them equally ... You have had one for ELEVEN YEARS ... how can you now inflict this roughnut of a dog on the elderly one ...the one who's been with you for half a lifetime ...who's been pleased to see you every single time you walked through the door ....who you've cuddled And now ...now you have said .... I love this ratbag just as much as I love you .... so this new dog gets to create havoc . It really isn't fair on the second dog, either as he will not be getting the exposure/lessons needed to calm and educate him .

Poor little dog ..... i wonder ..did she remember them at all ? it's a lifetime !

no ..it is just used as is ..do not dilute , as the solution is ultra fine particles of silver in water .... at certain concentrations , which is why some are 'better' than others .. look for how many ppm ...parts per million , the solution contains . also ..this may help answer questions. having seen it work ..I will recommend it When something will work on a stinky cat abscess.. it's OK in my book! The absolute beauty of it IS that there's no sting or smell /anything..and if cat/dog licks it off..there's no problems ( a LOT needs to be ingested to cause problems)

Health food shops do a bit of research first ...there are some which are better value than others..and some which are more 'potent' ....

I use it for cat abscesses, mouthwashes, wound cleaning,fungal infections, skin infections, gum /throat infections in humans and animals .Have used it for mastitis in a goat,burns on humans..... Silver, like a lot of things, can cause problems if taken internally to excess. Some people drink litres of it !!

Cranberry gets a vote from me as well if you can ..buy a large bottle of colloidal silver ..and use that to rinse the area it is anti-microbial ..no sting/no toxicity .. can be done several times a day ..just a wipe Much kinder than malaseb , IMO . I use Colloidal silver for all sorts of things here !Animal and human .

probably not . understanding the "whys" and consistent training WILL there are millions of entire dogs around who do not behave in this way

Yep... that's why one pays a good professional to assess the situation visually, and independently, and from a place of experience. We all have our ideas... but nothing can gel until one spends time with the dogs in their own territory, and watches the dynamics. It's kinda like asking DR. Google ! You might come close ..however, a hands-on professional who has studied and seen it all before can diagnose best by being physically there

It'll be clearer after you have the professional spend time with you, and work out a plan. That's a good start though Just a thought, too ..something which looks minor to us can be major to the dogs concerned ..and can niggle away for some time, (as we often miss a lot of very subtle body language between dogs ) until one day they decide to sort it properly.

Sounds as if you are at your wits' end . You need some education/assistance, and Your canine'teenager' needs consequences ..like any teenager . It's good that you are getting professional advice . ...this should be NOT seen as emergency one-off ..but for now..as a regular and necessary thing . Dallies are smart and strong willed ...and have stamina... you & your family are about to embark on a big learning curve ! here's some reading for you in the meantime From a professional for whom I have much respect .

good points .
