We were back to the vets for a check up yesterday. After 8 days on the z/d he has lost 1.2kgs. He has been on 5 cups a day plus 1/3 of a tin. Vet has said give him an extra cup of bics a day & 1/8 cup of oil with each meal. I am increasing the bics but I don't think I will give the oil. I will do this for a week then take him back to be weighed & see how we go. I am worried about the weight loss. Also after 2wks of tabs & ear drops his ears are not 100% apparently so another week of drops. Thanks Dave-o, I will look into Canidae.

Interesting. Thank you.

Thank you for the comments. As far as I can figure to see a dermatologist I need to go to Sydney or Brisbane & at this point in time that is not happening. The vet I am currently seeing did study dermatology as an elective and at this point in time that is the best I can do. She has suggested evening primrose over fish oil so I am going to change over. I started the z/d yesterday for 12 weeks to see how we go.

Hi all After having my 2yr old GSD back at the vets yesterday with ear & skin issues (same problem in March/April), she has suggested either Zyrtec or a trial on z/d. I am happy to do the food trial over the Zyrtec but was just after anyone's experiences with this. Thanks

Some of these I had never heard of!

Pro an is no longer in production. There are no tablets for ticks anymore.

That is where I work out every Friday morning & the occasional Saturday morn. Great spot.

I have goosebumps. I think "Yes".

Fantastic

Sandra777 if I could take the pup I would. I have put it on my FB asking if anyone knows of someone looking for a pup & that is why I also put it on here. The only place I know to take it in my area is the RSPCA. I have no idea what exactly the pup is, it is little & light brown. I am just relaying what the sign says on the letterbox.

The sign is still up it reads "Mastiff pup GIVEAWAY" & it now has balloons on it.

Yes, Coffs area.

I saw a sign in a front yard today which basically read 'Mastiff puppy free' I overheard the owner say 'I start studying in 2wks & the kids will be in daycare.' I am assuming this is why the pup is being given away. This morning at 6am I saw the pup in the unfenced front yard. It was barking at me as I went by. This afternoon I saw an older mastiff in the yard. I feel so bad for this pup. I hope it gets a nice home.

OMG YES. Having issues with a neighbour & her small white fluffy at the moment. Apparently her dog is allowed to sit at the fence and bark at my dogs but I need to teach my dogs to ignore. Her dog won't back down she tells me!

So sorry for your loss.

Great news

Happy Birthday Trixie.

I think Preventic is what I am using now. It lasts 6wks. Purple on the packaging, the other packaging was green & lasted 4wks but the same price. Keep in mind they cannot get wet.

Congratulations to you both.

What a beautiful tribute. I am so sorry for your loss.

12mths ago I rang my local council to change the address for 1 x cat & 1 x dog. I was told I would need to go in, fill in a form & provide the microchip number. If they both have lifetime registration & have always lived in the same council area, why did I have to supply the microchip number? Should it not have been on their records already?

So sorry

I saw a photo of the backyard. It was a concrete slab. One big dog should not have a yard of a concrete slab let alone 4 dogs. By the sounds of it there was no exercise or socialisation going on at all. Those poor dogs.

I also have used budgetpetproducts & always been happy
