Is THIS useful?I can't help, sorry

If you want more info on feeding raw - which will let her chew- provide lots of nutrients,and stop smelly poo... have a read HERE

This is not always the case ;) However- that stuff is mostly lanolin- and while I wouldn't apply it to wounds..it will certainly help with dry sore skin.

Welcome ;) Click on this LINK for some handy information

Just a slight aside... Ok- so a dog run is built .. a dog is inside . This dog lunges at and snaps at unknown children ..when out walking, or if children are on her territory. I just wonder how this dog will feel/react locked in a run..hearing/seeing kids in 'her' yard/house..and being restricted like that?Could it escalate a problem? The boarding out suggestion ..for a highly strung dog s..not sure at all about that being in teh dog's best interests,unfortunately.

Sounds normal to me - 3 months is a long time!

Your kids need to have friends over- being with peers,making friends,sharing home life is important please contact a professional about this situation. As there is biting involved, and the problem may be inherited, I recommend someone like DR.Robert Holmes. It is a serious situation, and you are right in being hesitant at trying some suggestions, in case things escalate.I would also NOT consider rehoming a dog who is human aggressive. I hope you can get some help soon.

Do not leave him unsupervised.EVER. Bones are usually preferred over furniture Never had a chewer,so can't really help.

Different vet.

not if they inhale it Calendula tea sounds good Can lactating bitches not have anti histamines?

yep. Years ago where I worked, we used to routinely ACP dogs before long flights.........until someone explained exactly what happened . Not good. great as a pre med, and just for keeping a dog quiet after surgery ...when there is no real anxiety

Fingers crossed

Camera- Hmm..had a brief play with a friend's 450D ...and was very pleased to hand it back had a decent sized lens on it..so was very heavy ..and I didnt get along at all happily with either auto or manual focus I have now slowed right down

if there is no vet available- maybe ph> the emergency number anyhow ....keep him warm and crated tonight- no steps ,being picked up or on furniture..and vet first thing in the morning ! If he's not a chewer, perhaps give him a warm wheat bag or HW bottle, well wrapped Poor little man

:D Good thinking!!

A friend who stayed here for a few days gave me this today as a 'thank you' .I think I have ruined it though :D I've been drooling on it LINK :D :)

ACP= acetylpromazine. I'm not sure- BUT I think it only affects muscles etc... I think a dog can still be petrified/anxious/fearful, but wobbly/woozy .. ?? That's what I was told, anyhow- that it can be dangerous because of uncoordinated movements. as a dog tries to cope. As a pre med it's ok but I am cautious about using it in a case like this ...

Your daughter has now a furry lifesaver!!

You may be interested in having a look HERE No artichoke, but it could be very helpful

Hamlet does it ,and my boy kieran used to as well I like it .

Anti histamine tablets? Aloe vera gel like THIS I have used it on our dogs for burns/itches.

I would be telling them their yard/shed is probably contaminated, and any other dogs they get will also die.That way they may not get new ones.

The poor dog :D I hope you can get him some sort of sedatives to help out-

It does ,however circulate the air ... Hamlet has his fan on him all night in Summer .. otherwise he puffs & pants & wriggles . With his fan on- peace! No aircon .
