persephone

Some of our dogs just ignore it , thankfully ...some get panicked  and hide away .

I might make another post about this aspect because I'd be interested in others experience this too. 

That sounds interesting - I hope you do
All the best - stay well.

Where I live, folks often drive to towns sometimes a 6 hr round trip for less expensive prices...there is a mobile vet , but obviously she cannot do surgeries etc , but she is in high demand for ordinary things.

Our old girl, Dulcie, used to be a top sheep dog , many years ago. She now is free-range and sleeps on a bed in the porch . Deaf as a post , and her bark is husky , but she still thinks she is young, and gets some speed happening when the pack is moving! Every so often she will trot the 300 mtrs to the river and have a paddle , or search for suitable smelly dead fish ... She quite often barks at things in the night  LOL , and keeps me company in the (outside) loo. 
What warmed my heart was the other day, when she devoured a WHOLE rabbit - leaving just the tail !! It took her a while , but she ate the lot - and her tea that night! 
( rabbit calicivirus goes thru the local population every so often, and provides the dogs with a smorgasbord!!) 

She's not good at obedience! 

hi  You HAVE been through it - you poor thing     Glad you are now feeling much better and are getting back into partnership with your boy
Yes, urine will smell much less some time after desexing  It takes a little while for hormone levels to drop after castration ...but you should notice a big difference . 
He is definitely a handsome boy , and much loved.

Good news! So glad they have been charged! 

So glad they got her safely

looking forward to updates - what fun

Another rottweiler

I am so sorry for your loss . 
It does sound like 1080 Some years ago I lost my little dog in a similar fashion. A bird must have dropped a poison bait in our yard , and she picked it up . It was dreadful to witness. 

That is very odd...

I honestly didn't think dogs & cats were trafficked! thought that was for exotic animals only .Hope the rescued animals will be OK .

She did amazingly well ! Smoke, one our boys survived over a week in similar country...but months is incredible.I hope she has pups, to pass all that on !

Do the right thing, and save the dog the trauma of being kept in that manner for human vanity reasons.

 

I agree with this .

many years ago, a guide dog in training  attacked a child ...and a necropsy revealed a brain tumour .he was a lovely dog - and yes, just 'snapped' 

Hmmm- I wonder if she will comply with the new rules ?

As for the over-representation of bull breeds and their crosses in pounds and shelters, and calls to ban breeding of any dogs (and or cats) until those animals are adopted is flawed. Most people do NOT want to take on an adolescent or adult larger breed powerfully built dog that has had little to no socialisation or basic training and is of an age where quite frankly, a lot of work needs to be done to make that dog a decent canine citizen. People want a puppy that is wired to learn what is expected of them easily, not a dog that has already formed habits that will be very hard to rehabilitate to a level that is fully acceptable to polite society. Then there are those who use "it's a rescue" as some sort of justification for not addressing certain behavioural issues in their dogs... and that needs to stop now IMHO.

Very True!! 

It sounds like more going on than a painful injection
I would be concerned of sudden onset dementia..agressive behaviour, including biting, can be a symptom.  

Lovely article

That is amazing , Deeds - thanks

I have only ever used phenergan - but it makes them a bit sleepy.
