  1. *nods* Ok ... thanks for that - now I think I have a handle on it :)
  2. That's a thought . have you tried providing him with lots of bedding /coat, but have him safely tethered ? he may feel more comfortable being able to move around a bit more than he can in his crate? *shrugs* Just a thought.... I like the look of that warmbodymat , and the bun warmers seem a good idea. for dog beds ..provided not any more than one thin layer is covering them . Might get one for my geriatric cat! :) Thanks for the link .
  3. *sigh* horses.......... the unexpected is always just around the corner ! I am so glad he was guided safely back to shore , poor boy.
  4. I have several forums hidden , and rescue is one . It is indeed very upsetting ... Hats off to those who work in Rescue ! I do look when someone asks me about getting a dog ..and there are so many gorgeous faces :)
  5. I like that first colour image - so much is happening !! Love the expressions..I can see the effort required buy the blocking player..the concentration, the desperation of others... :) Well caught!
  6. Cats are fascinating .... he also likes using the external HDD like a heat pad :p
  7. :) :p.. and the worst bit is, half the time I don't realise it until I get odd looks .
  8. LOL!! What a great thread - I can indeed relate to some of these ... does anyone else tell wayward, wandering ,shopping trolleys to "Stay!" ?
  9. Oh.. OK he was using it as an example of the benefits of RAW...
  10. but am now wondering if this result is a normal expectation? LINK My idea of editing in RAW is to make sure colour is correct, detail and sharpening etc are pleasing . To me, this looks too saturated or something?
  11. :) he looks as if he's lived with you all his life!! :D
  12. MTS. Not at all! What people are saying is to feed her a better food , to help your sister realise this , and, most important, to get the dog to a vet when you can. The dog had gastro , did not get any diagnosis, and has not really recovered. This really does need a thorough investigation , and I'm glad you are taking her on monday :) The dog may have a foreign body , or something physically changed/injured, or a 'bug' which needs drugs to kill it off . As suggested, if she is eating goodo's then feed her goodo's :)
  13. best thing you could/can do is help rehome the dog . Your friend is obviously not in the right frame of mind to have a dog at present , and everyone will be more calm once dog has a new home.
  14. back to the vet, I think...and NO more treats ..just her normal food.
  15. There could be any number of reasons why she is not gaining weight ..and a thorough vet check will help...as in blood tests/worm count etc. Supercoat and canned muck will not put weight on ..and is possibly not ideal after a bout of gastro, either What caused the gastro? What treatment did the vet give her then? The two could well be related . If she looked more unwell after worming , please do not fiddle with any more home remedies..but get her checked out from head to toe to find a cause. Hope she is feeling better soon.
  16. Not necessarily , it will take a while for the hormones to exit his system , and he has been doing this marking for 10 yrs ...... ..toilet training will, aid the process tho :)
  17. perhaps they are somewhat exaggerating .... ( I hope!) I would imagine if a good sized 6 m.o latched on ..there would be holes which needed looking at Our 6 m. o koolies can cause much damage with their new shiny adult teeth! Either way, I hope that they get some good professional help soon .
  18. A vet would be my first suggestion. It could be a flea allergy ..it only takes one bite! It could also be an allergy to ...almost anything ...it may also be a stress reaction .... I would be suggesting not adding any more chemicals top the mix he's had recently ,until you work out what the problem is ... What food does he get? What plants are in your garden? Is there a time/place when he seems more irritated?
  19. biting to the extent of having to have jaws prised open does it for me. Did the owner need medical attention ?
