  1. Oh.. in the meantime, why not raise your dog's bowls by using a low platform/table/brick or something, so she does not have to bend at that angle - it may make her more comfortable for now
  2. if that's the case, there should be very many stumbling sore dogs around . That comment doesn't sound terribly reassuring. Did he do any manipulations/treatments? tell you where ,or what the injury was?
  3. Here's hoping everything heals well, and that you can take her home Thinking of you.
  4. Ohhh, what handsome boys, and lovely photos! Well done on all counts
  5. That is good news! maybe update you post title now ,so we can all smile :D Lucky boy, and a good bit to come out of the mess for his owners.
  6. Do you go to obedience classes? What training do you do with her each day? She's only a baby still, so needs a lot of work to achieve excellent recall . Until she is reliable at recall, she doesn't get to free run in areas where others are. It could be very dangerous ..and no, she will not grow out of it - she'll just be able to run further ;) I think you will get some good ideas from reading this thread about a similar`problem .

  7. So sorry, Griff . He was a beautiful boy... may he run fast & free.
  8. ;) have a read here LINK ...posted on another forum today ...
  9. No licking here - anywhere. As kids we always let dogs clean any cuts/scratches
  10. No .. suscreen I tried for a while - that didn't last .
  11. had one of my koolies tattooed .. he had a pale leather/pink snout. Ddidn't help.
  12. I have always worked with/around dogs ..but prefer , as a house companion, cats Their personality calms me and suits me .I love their self sufficiency ..and their fluid movement , their purr , and their way of communicating .
  13. tend to agree with you . Getting it checked out to rule out a cancer is a wise move .
  14. Vet now. That's an awful lot of dry to swell up in a gut...
  15. Did you look closely? The flea may have been faking it , until you left the scene! ;) Oh! I know!! It was the only flea.........and died of loneliness Laughing with you, not at you ;)
  16. Hi There is explanation/info here which might help you understand . Good luck with choosing your puppy! LINK
  17. How? Because the injury was given by the object being chased? Because I am sure the injury was much more shocking and painful than a leash correction given by the average dog owner? Because the injury happened out on the road , in direct contact with the car/person being chased? Because there was no owner attached to the dog to take the dog's attention off the immediate after effect? I'm sure someone will have technical terms for it ..
  18. Kippy those examples you gave are different from an owner giving a leash correction.
