Kadbury

What a sad and yet wonderful story - I just read all 17 pages too. Loki knew that he was loved and pulled through to be with you. He is a stunning looking boy..... You are a Real K9 Angel.

:laugh: I suppose they can't really put their paw down their throat to make themselves vomit - so grass must do the trick. My Cavaliers always ate grass and then did a little chuck. :D

Maybe also post this in the Cocker thread and someone there might have a contact in Old still searching for you... :) http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/66059-cocker-pics-and-chat-thread/page__st__14865

Maybe there is a Cocker Rescue you could contact.....I will have a look now for you. http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/66059-cocker-pics-and-chat-thread/page__st__14865

Great News, I wonder if a bit of Citronella oil or something similar might do the trick too.

Oh My Dog what is going to happen to this kid - possibly nothing, they will let him walk because he has had a tough childhood etc. etc. I can't in my wildest dreams understand how a Child/person can have such a sick mind to even think of doing such a thing. :cry: Run Free Poor Dogs.

Looking forward to good news Lindsay. :) Hawksdale the bubs are absolutely stunning.....awwwwwwwwww Love the Washing Basket idea for the photo. ;)

Healing vibes on their way

:cry: Oh gosh I am so sorry having just read your beautiful story. Run Free Tammy What a Grand Old Lady who gave so much but also received so much love. To Cavstaff and your wonderful family.

Hi Kadbury, firstly, thank you for your very bright welcome! Now, about my gorgeous puppy, her name is Adra. I have bathed her a few times since I have got her as she has a great fondness for digging holes and taking mudbaths! I used a puppy shampoo and when she started itching, I bought a flea one. Even though I was pretty sure that she didn't have fleas ( i couldn't find any, plus she is using the revolution ). That didn't help either. As for the photos, i would love to but i keep trying but it says that the file is too big, so if you know how i can fix that, that would be a big help. :) Hi Miss B, Just a thought that the shampoo might be a bit strong for puppy skin. Also I read in one of the threads recently that the Poster dilutes the shampoo in a spray bottle and sprays it onto the coat so that there is a lighter application and no concentrated spot that the shampoo may not wash out fully. Have also read that shampoo like Aloveen is an all round good one for puppies and dogs. I am sure there will be others who can suggest different ones that they have used with success. Regarding the pics. I have always uploaded mine to photobucket and then just loaded the img code in here. Good luck with that too. p.s love the Name Adra - do you know what it means and where it originated.

Agree Kirty BUT I think Channel 9 should do a revisit to this story and give the FACTS about irresponsible breeding and the results and not drag the Guide Dogs Vic into it.......I have steam coming out my ears at the moment. This could have been a very good story to report but from the RIGHT angle.

This is the quote from the Frankston newspaper.4/2/12 " Owner Ashlea Pahl, 25, was devastated to learn her dog’s litter - three black and three golden retriever pups - were all born with varying degrees of congenital cataracts causing blindness. “We were so heartbroken,” Ms Pahl, from Baxter, said. “We had no idea they couldn’t see properly, they seemed so happy.” Two puppies are almost completely blind in both eyes, two are blind in one eye and two are slightly vision impaired. Veterinary eye specialist Dr Chloe Hardman said the rare eye condition was carried from both the mother and father, who might have come from puppy farms. “This is an example of why you should always get your puppy from a breeder, they can test for these types of things,” Dr Hardman said. She said puppies born with congenital cataracts were sometimes destroyed because treatments cost up to $4000 each. She said that without surgery, however, the dogs could learn to use their other senses to function. Ms Pahl said putting the pups down was not an option. “How could I live with myself?” she said. “I want them to have long happy lives.” RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said if Ms Pahl considered surrendering the pups to the not-for-profit organisation, the same attention to detail in finding a loving new home would be given. “If people are breeding their pets for sale, then it is important they consider the potential veterinary care the mother and puppies/kittens might need,” Mr Pilgrim said. Local dog trainers, pet suppliers and a veterinary clinic have offered some services and products to help the puppies, including Messy Pawz dog trainer Sue Day who has offered to train the dogs.

Delightful pics they look so healthy. My 3 Year old Grandson just said to me "Look at those little Guinea Pigs." :laugh:

I thought this must be about knitting coats for a whippet...... :thumbsup: Love it

Just read on their Facebook page they were having site issues on Sunday night....so maybe there is still a bug.

Same here

Is there a DNA test for congenital cateracts? If there isn't how would you tell you were breeding 2 carriers together if they hadn't produced affected pups before? Whether the breeder is genuine or not remains to be seen. I do imagine Guide Dogs Victoria will not be happy if she is using them to gain sympathy for the pups if they are not involved. Agree, maybe someone will contact GDV and it will be proven or disproved.

:thumbsup: Love it thanks ;)

Have you given your pup a bath ? what did you use? sometimes the shampoo might be a bit strong for a pup ;) we would love to see pics of you new Pup
