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

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. -

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. -

What did the vet think they were ? -
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!
-
Does she look/behave ok apart from that? No discharge, or extra licking of vulva- or extra drinking or anything?
-
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?
-
it could be anything from an insect bite to pollen to a certain plant
-
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 .

...and one more

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 -
that is EXCELLENT !

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.!"
-
"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.

Sounds like tomcat pee I can't help, really- sorry.

raz!

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

I think that is what 'marketplace ' is for- buying and selling

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
