  1. This thread is YEARS old ..and the poster only was here that once!
  2. If you feed a variety of foods .. no supplements needed . Exactly the same as with humans . Feed muscle meat /bone/organ meats ..plus a little fish/egg/yoghurt/fruit/veg ... and there should be no need for supplements . Feed a mix of raw and processed if you're not confident . if you are concerned , there are prepared raw meals you can buy - patties which are a complete meal . T
  3. so can a chicken neck , piece of kibble, or a tennis ball . I have yet to see a dog gasping around an apple core as I have done with the other things I've listed ...thankfully , and our dogs have been eating apples for decades . Whole fresh chicken necks, certain kibble, and tennis balls are not used here ... whole apples and carrots seem safer , so far .
  4. Feeding dogs ...there as many ways as there are owners. truly!! LOL As sandgrubber said .. don't worry too much Dogs can do well on most diets ... my prefererred feed is mostly raw , with some dry . We do not buy an expensive dry .Our dogs get a lot of meaty bones ..and yes, they bury and dig up their treasures ! pups currently get lots of raw ... bony treats such as chicken feet frozen are a favourite , as are sections of lamb backbone ....they will knock me down for raw kangaroo !! raw whole apples and carrots are playthings/chewy toys for pups .. but , understandably, older dogs can't see the sense in them most times ..and they don't NEED to eat them have a read here ...keep asking questions , and perhaps use the following as a guide . Someone wise once said that , over a week ,if your dog gets all the neccessary vitamins, a variety of meats, bones ..with a few veg ..then your job's done . A diet doesn't have to be measured and weighed every day to work - really -
  5. not quite 5 mths . Mr Dags . "What do you mean PUSHED ? I never raised a paw! "
  6. Notified friends at Strathfielsaye ..they have a couple of dams they'll keepan eye on ...
  7. You know, once she settles ..she may well find home . Upsets can take over 24 hrs to settle down .... and when that adrenaline wears off ... hopefully she can find a drink, and make the right moves to backtrack ! I have friends in Strathfieldsaye ..is that near you anywhere? I can let them know tomorrow ( too late tonight)
  8. That is so very sad .... is there a dog she knows well/loves who can be made to bark /howl ? She might hear it and come after some hours ....
  9. My Mobile Doggy wash was in use yesterday ;) The old firescreen used to keep dogs OUT , also provides a sunbaking 'balcony' when dogs are inside , apparently LOL
  10. And what is the plan the surgeon gave ? be guided by them ..and /or a vet who specialises in rehab work .

  13. Ohhhh.. What a wonderful bundle of Minty energy she was!! I am so sorry AH ...... they go all too soon , and leave such big holes in our hearts from their scratching around,........ I'm glad she had you as her human for all that time . Run free, gorgeous girl - that smile will charm everyone .

  15. Most serious hunting dogs I know of wear trackers these days . it's the responsible thing to do ...esp .when on someone else's property . LOVE the look of a Catahoula
  16. "A New Girl at Myrtle Street" by LMO Synopsis: A sweet older lady, neglected by family , emaciated and blinded, finds her way to Myrtle street . At an address in this street she meets up with other older members of her species who live in a group home for select individuals . She is warmly welcomed , and finds help and support to rest and recover from her ordeals .
  17. Are you babysitting NOW ? is the bitch in season NOW ? If not , perhaps ask the bitch's owner to put HER on a hormone treatment ? Do you have anywhere to completely and securely separate the two ( not just an interior door) ?
