Do you not have any friends/rellies with a car? Your puppy really needs help now...and if you can get into the city to Lort Smith, she will get it.

Agreed!!

be careful with chicken necks tho they are the right size/shape to , if swallowed WHOLE. get stuck somewhere! get really big ones, or turkey necks instead.. or bash them flatter with a hammer ... wings/thighs are fine

ours like cucumber too- and tomatoes.

Have they checked IN his ears and his anus for the tick? Hopefully he will bounce back and be home soon.

So the medications he got were not cortisone? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ neither of those two are cortisone... one antibiotic,and one anti- inflammatory/analgesic.

He looks great! Thanks for letting us see the 'new, improved' version

What a chrissie present!!

scorpion?Spider? or something else? poor Grover.

Oh! That's a different diagnosis! *fingers crossed that they can stop any further problems* Thinking of you all.

Oh That is a terrible Christmas for you all. Hopefully they can get him stabilised and on the mend.

Oh- took this one last night Mr.Wilson the beast

LOVE those big puppy paws- and the schnauzerdeer,and all of them ,really

My brother took this this morning - I added the editing Merry Christmas

Warm wheat bag..if he will lie still..that will help relax the muscles,maybe.... no other suggestions,sorry.

I have seen ticks in melbourne............ travelled in bark chips for the garden!

Lifesize casts of a bearded dragon and a sand goanna, a taxidermied duck (head/neck in some reeds) a little echidna I made, using some dried skin/spikes we found, as a base..and who is very cute , some feathers, a willy wagtail nest, a rain moth pupa case....just a few bits & pieces ;) This is mainly for visitors- a lot of who are overseas/city folk who don't get to see such things normally .

There is another thread here somewhere - a few weeks ago.... same query

Hope she is home with you for Christmas ;) poor little girl.

What erny says . It reads as if you do have to start again with your relationship... after assessment, and with the help of, a good trainer.

This bit sort of confuses me----- did the dog go away for training? or did you have three periods of time with supervised excercises, or ? Is the person who helped you then available to help with this decision making?

I tend to agree with sas - IMO ,any fear based issues may well become worse for a time, if the dog is in an unfamiliar situation, making it very hard for the new humans What does your trainer/behaviourist recommend?Do they think it possible, with new strategies, he remain at home? At 9 years of age- leaving his home will be hard for your dog- and I am glad you are thinking long and hard on this. So many just 'dump' the dog, with no consideration. A difficult time for you- I am sorry.

Aaah I didn't know they were not native to Tas! Fair enough, then.
