  1. best of luck for tomorrow ..and I do hope the vet pays attention!
  2. Just re read your post, and she is on AB's for something else...and I missed the bit about her throwing up. I would suggest a foreign body not be discounted... also some opportune bug , cos she's stressed and vulnerable.....
  3. Sounds nasty ... if food is whizzing thru undigested!! I hope the vet is thorough and doesn't just send her home with clogging medicine! good luck- poor little mite.
  4. It was obviously a stressful time for everyone . Write down - calmly and factually who said what to you, and when ... booking date/any identifying numbers etc ..and send to dogtainers head office. A calm and firm email..stating all the appropriate detail may well help .
  5. and when it happens again? the next person may not get off lightly . if the dog will go in for a bite when its owner becomes agitated - that is a danger.
  6. Glad he's feeling better .. and hope it continues!
  7. yes. with this poor girl having problems both from being around some other dogs, and noise/storms , there is a real need for professional assessment/ behaviour modification
  8. Gayle _ I'm glad you caught him in the act, and have now foiled his plans! :p We have been lucky. 50 years of having multiple dogs..and all with collars on permanently , the only case of a dog being injured/dying involved a horrible series of events many years ago,involving the back of a ute and a tether which loosened . these dogs are working dogs .. running thru scrub/working in sheepyards/squeezing thru and jumping over fences ..all sorts of things. Our dogs primarily wear plain leather collars .
  9. Just cut food intake by about a third..and exercise more
  10. Wouldn't there be skin swelling/ swollen lymph nodes .. visually obvious stuff?
  11. ..and a vet hasn't seen her yet? it might be time to get someone to check her over. There are heaps of things which can cause scratching ...most likely allergies... but to what? that's the tricky bit! Dogs can be allergic to grass/pollen/fleas/meat proteins/food colourings/shampoos.... all sorts of things !! re: fleas.. it only takes one bite to set off an allergic reaction ..you may not ever see a flea . Good luck at teh vets ...
  12. A wagging tail is not always friendly ....
  13. does sound more joint/muscle than teeth .. hopefully Xrays will help find the problem soon for you
  14. Hi questions: would there be a real benefit to you if another dog joined the family? are you happy to have twice the walking/training/grooming/vet bills? are the family/housemates happy to have another dog in the house? are you prepared for you nice settled dog to maybe learn bad habits/become more active and perhaps noisier (when playing) ?
  15. heart is a muscle meat ..and a rich meat .. fed as part of the daily ration it should be fine ...just little bits
  16. So, what behavioural modification/training was suggested to help with the problems Molly has ?
  17. Agree with this .. poor little dog.Get yourself an assessment from someone recommended, and work from there.
  18. Sounds painful.. I think an Xray would be in order..just to see if something is dislocated/.cracked. My first thought ..with apologies to vet nurses ... is that maybe something happened when he was being given the tablet?..or it may be coincidence it happened then... It may indeed be an inflammatory thing .. but while Googling is handy - xrays and bloods are much better!
  19. well, NOW is when you go and get blood tests done ... and so now you are ready for a litter?
