  1. Seems a lot of vegetable.. sure he didn't just regurgitate? Sometimes if dogs eat quickly- it just comes back up. I don't mix up barf, but am not keen on feeding broccoli/cabbage/cauli - why do dogs need this? Mine have had very small quantities of silverbeet/spinach, pumpkin,parsley/carrot , which I think are easier to digest
  2. That is all you can do- if you look at the site some more- it does suggest deterrents and ways to keep them away from trees,roofs etc. There is no legal way to get the possums permanently moved a long way...and as said- if one possum ,or a pair is removed, another will take its place.
  3. Possums can be trapped by licensed people- but then released 50 mts away!! Is the possum living in your roof- or a visitor? what sort of possum? Are you inner or outer melbourne? HERE is some info you may find helpful.
  4. Do you want somewhere you send your dog away to and have it trained, or am I reading this wrong? Obedience/Agility clubs, etc train YOU to train your dog and she is still going to be a baby at 3/4 mths, so don't expect too many cute and perfect tricks . those big beagle eyes are enough for anyone to fall for , anyhow!
  5. Does she look/behave ok apart from that? No discharge, or extra licking of vulva- or extra drinking or anything?
  6. She won't eat fresh meat,or scrambled egg,or her normal food with a small amount of sardines or grated cheese mixed thru?? weetbix and milk has no real place in a dog's diet.... (not much help as I have never had dealings with a pregnant bitch who refuses food !!) has she been checked by the vet?
  7. it could be anything from an insect bite to pollen to a certain plant
  8. The vet did not do a test for parvo? That seems odd ... I hope he will now improve poor boy. - if he gets ANY worse over the next 12-24 hours, contact a vet ..puppies can go downhill quickly .
  9. yes- after reading your post, I moved my screen around, and saw what I think is a white 'cape'.. ;) It could be a very pretty puppy !
  10. yep- if you look back in the parent's breeding, you will probably find the reason for the abundance of white . The white one is at great risk of being deaf , I would think ;) Also, if pigment does not devop on nose leather/pads, they will have to guard against skin cancer/ soft pads... love that third pup's markings
  11. Oh, and ... Perhaps you will see things differently after you have completed your studies ?
  12. I am regularly chastised for saying much worse in person I am very meek online. As said, if you asked me in person I would also say "Remove the cat food, keep your cat confined in a dog proof situation, get evidence, per photos, of the dog/s in your yard, and pester the council until they DO something.!"
  13. "That...kind..of..thing.." have to giggle there. One can do manual stimulation , but, no if a bitch is present ,and the dog is keen, it is not needed.
  14. Sounds like tomcat pee I can't help, really- sorry.
  15. You do not have to wade thru it - just go straight to the forum /thread which interests you! I never read the show stuff, or a few other forums... and couldn't even tell you what the new posts there are called! so- perhaps use the DOL tools available to enable you to only read what you want , and you'll be happy
  16. perhaps not- however, leaving a biscuit feeder on the step is a great reward for wandering dogs/cats
  17. I think that is what 'marketplace ' is for- buying and selling
  18. Pepi- I am so sorry you are feeling very bad :D Your little dog has been fighting such a hard fight these past weeks , and his body was just worn out. The vets were keeping him going for you, but he obviously was very ,very , tired, and had to stop. You no longer have him warm to cuddle, but, after they die, I always like to think of a dog's spirit, romping over the bridge, and racing around, ears flapping in the breeze, smiling, and pain free! I am sure that is a true picture- I honestly believe they ARE somewhere- happy and comfortable forever. Thinking of you - it will be very hard for a while.. it is not your fault, and not the vet's fault. It was Pepi's tiny body that badly needed a rest ,and it was his time. Take care
