does she have a runny nose or a cough?

i have just been through this, my advice for your other dog, is dont change a thig, i made the mistake of spoiling my remaining dog and letting him do things he usualy wasnt allowed to do. i think it increased the suffering for him and he is now confused and full of anxiety.

if its not a show dog and you don't need to worry about coat, this tool works really well to get mats and undercoat out. http://www.microchipsolutions.com.au/store...mp;productId=20

Dogs eat grass and dirt, because they can. its normal and its natural. you need only worry if the dog vomits more then twice a day. Grass is roughage and will not cause constipation, in fact, it works in the opposite way.

give this a try, it will not only keep the ears clean, but its fantastic for plucking hair out of the ear with your fingers. http://www.microchipsolutions.com.au/store...mp;productId=16

its not cheaper if you have to keep replacing it, we had the great rug beds at the boarding kennels, not one had to be replaced in 4 yrs.

Royal cannin GSD is a fantastic dry food for GSD, with bad skin problems. we feed it in the boarding kennels and found a lot of our customers switched to it with fantastic results.

i will pm you now.

Have a look here, i like just about all these for the schnauzers. the fur buster is realy good, as is the stripping knife. http://www.microchipsolutions.com.au/store...Cat&catId=3

let me know what you think of it.

have you tried this ear powder, it workes realy well, you can pluck the hair with your fingers. http://www.microchipsolutions.com.au/store...mp;productId=16

if your vet wont titer test, go to another vet who will.

shell, for the 6 or so yrs my dog Brave was in the ring, he was bathed every week with out fail, never did him any harm, infact, now he isnt shown, his caot is no where as nice as it was when he was bathed and groomed every week.

The big issue I have here is no water... as it is we are almost out and praying for rain everyday. What sort of comb do you use Lea? I did once have one of the long swivel tooth ones and it did a pretty good job but it was still lots of work. i use 3 combs, one swivel tooth (which i love) a wide tooth and one thats in a V shape. if you dont have water to waste, then a realy strong dryer is the best bet, good this about a blower is, you can do it every day.

just stumbled upon this thread. im so sorry for you loss, pru has a very sweet face.

i have huskies, and i also have both tools. frankly, neither of them work any better on a husky coat then a good slicker and comb do. huskies drop their coat for any where up to 2 mths if you dont wash and blow dry them weekly. the best thing you can do is a really warm hydrabath and a blow dry every week while dropping coat.
