persephone

if they are outside security dogs- then I guess it doesn't matter that they are dirty/smelly...they probably have little human contact. If they are matted so they have trouble walking, or their eyes are partially covered- then that's something that would be acted upon by the RSPCA, I would think. if they are outside dogs in a yard , with no opportunity to swim or roll in grass- yep- they will be pretty ordinary looking if the owners don't pay much attention to them. Our dogs never go to a vet unless it's an emergency .. they never get bathed , or groomed They swim/roll in the sand , tho ,and look pretty shiny

:D that's the call you like to get !.

Sending you thoughts and :hug:s

You may like to have a look on THIS page if you want a NEW, cheap, simple-to-use camera for around that price.

Oh :D so sorry, peibe.

Poor Lincoln ... if his gut is so inflamed and roughened- perhaps that's what the ultrasound picked up? Hopefully you get some good news today

they start around 5 mths and finish up around 6 ,from memory. Are you also wondering when she will stop chewing , perhaps

Thinking of you .

I am SO glad you took him for the second opinion - been there, done that with Hamlet - I know how you will be feeling.

Just popping by - I see the curtain on jed's window is still drawn against the cold I thought the nightshift might enjoy a scrabble board ..here, and a few Reader's Digest Condensed Books Oh- and some hot donuts! Sleep well, jed. May tomorrow bring even more strength . 'night, all.

Sorry you lost your girl... and sorry the autopsy didn't help find out why. What did her breeder say- did they have any ideas?

Fingers crossed the drool is just from feeling really nauseous.... a simple bug . best of luck it is easy fixed

just hoping he's ok, poor boy .

Sorry, dogglesworth- butwhat a gorgeous image of her to keep in your heart!! Run free , seven .

oops Don't feed them anything- make sure they are drinking ..and see how they are tomorrow /If they still have diarrhoea tomorrow- perhaps phone your vet and ask advice? Ours love the wheat and corn !!

Does she lick during the day? If she doesn't ....maybe a different bedding- to allow more room for the baby bumps would make her feel more comfy? :0 ??? No idea, sorry .

Aahh - thanks, malteseluna!

the less fuss YOu make- the less fuss HE will make. Glad he will be home soon.

If she's doing this because of puppy movements.. and there is no visible spots/rash - I wouldn't put anything topical on....as this then may lead her to try & lick it OFF She could be just a bit uncomfortable/with twinges....and be doing the only thing she knows to try & relieve it. If she is otherwise healthy- and there is no rash.. I would be making sure she is getting gentle exercise to help keep her muscles loose and active.... and maybe some distraction in the form of bones etc .

I agree- phone the puppy walking supervisor and discuss it with them first

So he will possibly be lifting his leg? I don't know the setup- but guess there is no post or anything for this purpose in a pet loo? he may be now peeing 'with intent' and enjoy marking around his spot ? Is his pet loo clean and big enough for him,now? has anything changed around it? Are there any new dogs/cats around?

:rolleyes: nasty way to do it - poor dogs.

Hi - did /do any of her bloodline have entropion ( where the eylids roll inwards) or distichiasis (abnormal growth of the eyelashes) ? from memory, both are hereditary to a degree. if you are not satisfied , by all means see another vet- as, if it IS a case of lashes rubbing on the eye surface - there is a chance of ulcers forming. If it is a tearduct problem- then it may need fixing ... and if it is entropion etc it may need surgical intervention. It's been a while since I have had first hand experience - but I don't like to muck around with eye problems.

A new garden bed with a new puppy? best of luck!! make sure the fence around your gardens is made so it cannot be climbed over/under!
