PICASA did this fix in a minute- just a basic one

What a lovely and touching tribute . So sorry he was taken early.

Hi zoobird. You will probably find what you're looking for HERE
-
and that is a lovely thing :0 Do you have a scrap book:) Those sorts of little memories/quotes would be a nice addition... then you could look thru it sometimes, and smile, perhaps, at the happy times . I have a quote here on my desk. "Don't cry because it's over- Smile, because it happened! "

Sore Red Eyes ... From The Dust
persephone replied to Tilly's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
cold black tea ( or slightly warm) use several times a day, just dribble into one corner of the eye like normal drops.. or use it as a flush.. It is gentle and does help we use it a lot here with 'dusted' dogs! -
Tyler Lucky pup, to have a safe run in which to enjoy the sun and the scents of outdoors If you don't mind the clearing up... put in a cardboard carton or two for him to jump on/wreck..and a large ball, like a soccer ball (NOT plastic) that he can roll around , throw himself on, and attack!

I think the main reason mites don't show is that there are often not many around..and a scraping may miss them having recently had a sarcoptes infestation myself (courtesy of my piglet) I can vouch for the incessant and unpleasant itch
-
The vet treated him without a skin scraping? Weird! The most likely is an allergy. It could be almost anything... :p grass, pollen, WANDERING DEW creeper, beef, food colourings, flea treaments, grains etc etc etc... What is he getting fed? and what has changed in the yard/park/garden with the onset of Spring? Oh- and a skin scraping should be requested.. only takes a minute, and mites can be seen, if they are present- that way , at least you'll know, and be able to begin 'disinfecting' the bedding/house, etc too !

A cake I most definitely did NOT make :p LINK

That second pic- that's straight out of 'Turner & Hooch" !! :p
-
Agree with erny!! :p especially the fact of NOT 'rewarding' him inadvertently when he is showing those behaviours.

Pushing The Boundaries At A Certain Age?
persephone replied to Red Fox's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
secretkei- not much advice on his training, sorry... but please do NOT wrap the leash around your hand again... it could be worse next time :p if you want a short leash... just hold it further down towards the dog. The slack can just hang, or be loosely held with your other hand. I agree- when the dog feels/sees you wrapping the leash around your hand, he will start to get excited/anxious, as he anticipates what's coming! -
Well, I guess when you are choking you forget your manners somewhat ...poor little thing

Glad she's ok! She is not silly...she is a puppy. How does it happen? It happens when food is the wrong size/ shape for the pup's age/eating habits.... Often a hungry pup will gulp small kibble .. and of course, they will often breathe at the wrong time , too ! Re the midday meal... why not give them a big feed in the morning.. one when you get home, and one at bedtime? leaving food out is not necesssary ...She doesn't really need 3 meals a day ... one in the morning, and one at night would probably be enough
-
remembering that goats are herd animals may help you. Goats also have a 'family' sense, and are sticklers for routine!! (or mine are ,anyway) About the only thing I train mine to do now is to disappear thru the nearest gate when I say 'OUT!' ...this can also be used if said goat is about to bite the piglet's tail, pound a pup into the dust, or attempt to jump on someone's car! She stops whatever she is doing , thankfully They work well for food..One of my old girls had a harness, and I would attach a large bag..we would wander around collecting rubbish..me picking up- she pulling the filling bag. It worked well
-
There is nothing I can say or do to take the pain away- I am so sorry........Just be kind to yourself ,make sure you sleep, and surround yourself with supportive people.

Stuff your kong with a mixture of nature's gift canned food (dilute it with a little water. Mix in a couple of bits of tasty kibble, and a few bits of apple, some grated cheese, plug small hole with peanut butter..and stand up in freezer to freeze
-
Oh, dear What a tragic end for your girl, and I am so sorry you had to witness it.Take care of yourself... :D Run free and safe , Bindi.....

Hi, Ash&sugar.Canned food is mostly water, usually.. I don't think it will put weight on. Check the ingredients on the dry food bag- what % fat is there? Kangaroo is LEAN meat dogs don't need rice/pasta. If she is just young and fit and active- she just needs better quality food, with an increased fat content.Possibly two meals a day..she needs quality, not quantity ;) Good meat for weightgain is lamb flap, or brisket, beef offcuts/brisket, or a good pet mince..this usually has bone and fat. This is just a starter comment- there are folks on here who are VERY knowledgable on diet

Puppy Boy Bits - Near Left Leg?
persephone replied to Missymoo's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Sounds to me like an undescended testicle.. if it wasn't in the scrotum.
