Dear old girl

He'll love it!

Itching is often not present, but did she have skin scrapings done for demodex mites?

Ok.. so what is in the van? cleaner/insecticide/air freshener/.... I think any diet changes take several weeks to have an effect .. I hope you can get to see someone soon - poor girl

she will be pleased to see you!

All I can think of is to ice it for a few minutes .. then it should be able to be broken off..as it should be hard Sorry

has she been on anti histamines? While not a 'cure' , it may ease the irritation enough to let some healing happen I sympathise , having had a similar problem with my old mitch.

brighton... decent foods do not contain substances in amounts large enough to help treat anxiety, or allergies, or any one of a hundred problems..... That is why supplements are useful things!

reconsider!! ;) it depends on the dogs, your experience..all sorts of things. You might enjoy having a read of two threads from last year ... LINK LINK and also this one LINK

urk.

:) Awwwwww

the gorgeous Cooper still gives me an odd feeling .. he's too human- looking

Oh OK. that makes a difference. Spray your glyphosate one morning ... then late afternoon .. use sprinklers/hoses to soak the sprayed area thoroughly ..removing the stuff from rocks etc...not just a sprinkle. It is rainfast after about 6 hrs.

by doing that any habitat for insects/frogs/birds is gone forever.. Got photos? Thought of planting that area with an indigenous grass or something? Maybe put gravel down ..rake it, and weeds are dislodged .

re: weeds in paving... if there's not a yard full - then simple boiling water poured on weeds .. or VERY salty water poured directly onto them should help Do this at a time when you are sure no frogs are hiding .. and there is no nasty residue for them. Glyphosate (, rather, the surfactant) is not kind to frogs.Apart from general toxicity, Surfactants will remove the protective layer on a frog's skin ..and leave the skin unprotected.

I guess you mean caltrop ? You need to get that when very small before it flowers ..or during , otherwise the prickles(seeds) will make the yard a very uncomfortable place for any dog/person to walk!! Bloody awful thing It is named after shaped iron spikes that were scattered along paths in forests etc to get stuck in horses' feet and slow up soldiers/armies/outlaws in pursuit! By all means use glyphosate on the plants .. preferably the day after a good watering ,,and do it tea time, or later .. then let dogs out as normal next day . use a 'wand' or a small sprayer..and target individual plants ..as glyphosate kills everything. I shovel it out ,here.. just slide a small sharb blade under the ground so roots are cut. problem solved . We don't have lawn, which makes it easier ;)

more cute faces !

there are some very cute`puppies on this page !

Hamlet then Hamlet Now

warm the nozzle first make it a training thing.. with a treat for being still, and a treat immediately drops are deposited/rubbed in . Sitting is preferable , obviously, so the drops don't run out when dog is flipped over ;) practice a couple times a day without the drops... sit/treat. Fiddle with ear .. insert finger slightly /treat, rub ear/treat. repeat on other side It becomes tolerable .

;) which is why my dogs get opshop blankets etc.. then they are discarded after some time

If she is actually showing bare hairless skin - a vet visit might be in order .

Wishing your gorgeous old girl all the best for her op

a mostly wedding and food one ,belonging to a friend of mine. a wildlife one - Andy Rouse an australian one - steve parrish That's all

A vet visit as soon as possible after collecting a pup is what I recommend to people That way , a check can be done - vet will see pup in a good and healthy state first - with no ouchie needles or anything ..and if you ask for a thorough check including teeth/bite, testicles, dewclaws etc .. then anything out of the ordinary can be noted and you can ask your breeder. The breeder 'should' give you all sorts of information pertaining to feeding, vaccinations, general health care , and more specific things. They may also give you some of the food they use to help settle pup in
