persephone

for you .

Little birds are so fragile when they have a rough start....

I feel for your dog..and you..but I HAD to at this I have a couple of dogs here who hate storms.. I just make sure they are somewhere safe , where they can see us ..and leave them to it- not patting/soothing. They get rescue remedy if they are really upset- but that's it. I'm mean :p

With multiple health concerns, and now weight loss- I think a vet visit would be a very wise move. Hopefully you can get some answers....

Lots of big chewy bones ..and see how it goes .

both When I lived in suburbia - it was a 2 walk a day routine 1 was normally a controlled walk, though... and one was mostly a free run in parks/paddocks. I used to do the morning one at 5:30 am ..and the other after work ...

It's hard ... but if you are at home all day ... then perhaps try having your dog stay with YOU , as others have suggested ... on lead, locked in your room..on your knee. That way he does what YOU want ;)

Why am I writing posts to a PUP?

for colour - try some IRONCYCLEN ... if it doesn't help your colour it might help with your endurance ;)

so is bleeding to death slowly over a period of days ... so is being caught by a cat . We`have used the plaster or cement mixed with gravox or icing sugar or cocoa it seemed to work .. but I certainly didn't go looking for bodies . What happens is the mice eat.. go to a water source,drink... and the stuff swells in their stomach... and they die a painful, but fairly fast death. I still think it's better than glue traps ..or even drowning. I prefer instant death for them.. but when there are hundreds,and they are chewing peoples' hair while they sleep , etc . ,and there is a real risk of secondary poisoning for wildlife/pets ..what do you do? I just found the blurb for racumin ... HERE - as some good information on general pest rodent behaviour/ID etc.

I really think you need both dogs checked again ... and stick to one treatment at a time.

Your eyes will stay that gorgeous blue be careful of your eyelids in teh sun .. that pink skin (same gene which gave you the lack of eye pigment ) is more vulnerable to sun cancer .

What you do next is go to another vet with BOTH dogs ...and hopefully you will get an answer. Mange IS mites ... there are two sorts - and a vet who knows his/her stuff would be your best option now. using home remedies when you have no idea what the problem is could make things worse Ask about allergies as well... allergies can be to grains/proteins in food- plants in the garden, cleaners - anything, basically. Hope you get help soon ...

ohhh ... I am so sorry, K9angel .

warning on content of photo ! kangaroo dog ...and victim. photo is around 50 years old.....

I think a vet is the best idea . Hoping it is nothing serious for him.

looks very good! Well done .

try her on lamb flaps ,, definitely , and some porridge for brekky

Just as as add on here- I found one of our old family photos ... with 2 'roo dogs !

How many ribs are easily visible? What other bones seem prominent?

It was a sad day ... and I hope she found Mum but, I must admit to things being calmer now- she was such a cranky old thing

I occasionally will ,phone people , or talk with them, when I know they have a dog to rehome ,and then tell them to ask for some money when advertising a dog . IF they like people, and they seem ok- then they can always back off on the money It has worked well in some cases I know of ....

he taught himself that trick . We do have to remove the empty containers tho - he doesn't give up! It is cute, I must admit when he then finds an envelope, or empty plastic bag ... and presents that instead :p He has his good points

that's thinking like a human ;) AFAIK.,maremmas should not be 'trained' in obedience,etc. they need to be handleable ..and friendly with their owners/able to be vet checked- and that's about all. They don't need to respond to our words- they KNOW how to sit/lie down/trot/pick things up in their mouths/jump over things.. The thing is, they get to do them at times appropriate to them , and what they are doing. Unfortunately I don't have any ......... but I would love to one day have a big paddock or 3 ,with several maremmas ,just being dogs
