damn red tape and legalities ...

Esky .. can the vet help you at least settle her on her favourite bed in your car ? She will be surrounded there by smells of her family - be warm, and you can cuddle her and love her to ease her on her way . neither of you need extra stress now ... Take care

Oh- esky..I am so sorry you have this to go through now ....

Ohhh, esky ..... poor little girl, I hope they can keep her comfortable .

What sort of infection is it exactly? Did the vet name the particular bacteria, or was it started by a fungal infection , or irritation perhaps? What diet is your dog on ? Does he have any itchy times..or chew his feet at all? I would NOT suggest using any over the counter stuff for a recurring /nasty infection . What I would suggest is finding out exactly why it is happening ..and then adjust things to minimise it. If the current vet is not giving you any other help/information other than antibiotics ...perhaps try another vet? yes, too much un necessary medication for anything is not a good thing, however, if the correct medication, plus a management plan, is used ..then things should resolve... Worst case scenario... and not all that common ..is to have surgery which opens up the ear canal to let air in, and make it much less a desirable place for nasties to live.

Love it :)

This morning, I took this snap of an Apostlebird with my little old sony cybershot .. then spent a couple of minutes in sagelight ... Certainly no prize winner- and it is not intended to be ..but I just can't get over how stress free this program is for me to use , when PS literally brings me out in a sweat, and GIMP totally confuses me . Now I can play with no worries . (and I DO) :p

The look on her face is just wonderful ... :)

I hope you and Penny enjoy your visit :) - don't forget to get some cuddle photos. Thinking of you again today .

our pups all grow well on supercoat .

Those photos say it all...

awwwww :) Gorgeous markings!!

:)

The only way I know is to just use picasa ..do a collage , leaving part of page blank-and whatever colour I want ..then add text - took me a couple of minutes ...

Thank you .. :)

thinking of you and the little oldie...

maybe have a read of this thread HERE

Glad she is staying in hospital for a while :) you have a crate - that's good .. BUT .. make sure there is plenty of room for the recovering leg to be stretched out fully and comfortably without touching the sides..and that there is plenty of turning around room/getting up on feet room without having to need to swivel that leg.

:)

I would suggest a boy - the girls will keep him in check :p

What do his gums/teeth look like? Checking mouths during teething is a big help in catching any problems early :) Will he eat the meat of you mince/chop it small? is everything else normal? it may be a sore mouth, or he could be feeling sick , or have pain somewhere ..or not be hungry. try him with some finely chopped meat ..then leave him without food until at least lunchtime.it won't hurt him. if he is still not eating ... it may be worth phoning a vet ?

What a gorgeous girl . R I P Charlotte.

:hugs: Run fast & free, Charlotte.

Well Done :) :)
