and you can put lotsa soft sqishy stuff in them.

http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?showtopic=87686 there is some very good advice on grooming here

If you get one of the plactic moulded beds, big enough for a fully grown cocker, you can fill it with what ever bedding you like, they are realy easy to clean and great for indoors or out. as for basic grooming for a Cocker, i would get a Good pin brush, A comb, with longish teeth not to close together, and a slicker. I find if you pay a bit more for good brands they will last you yrs.

Do you have some where you can put her/him with a chew toy or a pig's ear? some thing like a crate, just for a time out, you need to stop her every time she does it, with a distraction she will enjoy more then the brick. If it's just 1 brick you could try lemon juice on it, hopfully she wont like the taste and stop chewing it. good luck

Mojo has been great, untill today, he is vomiting again, so it's off to sydney to have some more tests done

rather then my typing it all out this should provide your answer Puggles http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/aw-code...e/aw-code-5.htm

Law? I wasn't aware that it was 'illegal' to not vaccinate your dog ............... I believe it is a policy of boarding kennel establishments to request current vaccination certificates and not a legal requirement? Or perhaps it is a legal requirement that they only accept vaccinated dogs? Can someone clarify. when oh gets home i will get him to find our COE, im not even sure who sets it or if it is law so to speak

at the bottom of your offical show entry form it says i certify that this exhibit has not with in the said period of 3 mths been in kennels affected with distemper, canine hep, pavo, or any other CONTAGIOUS or INFECTIOUS disease and that during the last 12 mth prior to the date of this show the dog was vaccinated. i would assume this includes KC

spot on Puggles

i dont think it was the vac that caused your dog to get KC, it can take up to 12 days fro a dog to show any symptoms he may have got it from another dog at the vet. dogs can DIE from KC complications. i sure as hell am not going to take that chance with my dogs

Dogs that get the KC VAC every year can still get KC, its like the human cold, what it does do, is lessen the serverity of KC. KC can turn nasty and kill dogs. It is a vac that does not stay in the dogs system so yearly vac is recomended. There is a misconception that KC is only caught in Boarding kennels. Its an air born virous and your dog can catch it any where.

Would you take one that the vet has marked not due for vac for 3 years instead of annually Untill our COE is changed, no i would not.

Although i compleatly agree with it, and would follow the recomendations(if i didnt own a boarding kennel). As a kennel operator i would not be willing to take a 5 yr old dog or cat that had not had its vaccination done yearly. Actualy we are bound by our COE not to take them.

i am so greatful for all of your suport, realy helped me with the nerves, its great to know that there is some one out there willing and ready to lend it. I love you all. After looseing Nelson(giant schnauzer) and my cat Toby, both to The C word in the last 12 mths, I am so realieved.

if they only knew the truth

Big hugs to both of you. eye lashes can be nasty and i think plucking is only a temp solition, poor Molly But hopfully this time the damn things dont grow back. what did they think of her fance dress.. ?

Good news Blood works came back with no indication of any tumor/cancer. Vets are still concerned about the liver and have given us some antibiotics and some steriods, we have to feed him mushy food for a week see if he can keep that down, and if he doesnt seem to get any better, an ulta sound will be done. I am soooo greatfull for the lovley responces you have given me with helpfull hints, well wishes, and suport. big hugs to you all. lets just see how the week goes and i will keep you up to date thank you lea

Thanks Aniangel. we had an xray done with showed up an enlarged liver, so bloody was taken yesterday, still waiting on the results to come back. fingers crossed its not the C word. i will post again when i get the phone call. thanks again.

Poor molly i sympothise with her, i get an eye lash that grows into my eye. so i know how she is feeling Hugs for Molly and sounds like shoemonster needs one too

This is fantastic information, thankyou all again, in regards to fish, how does tuna fair?

Thanks every one i am trying to keep positive untill the final tests are back, but want to be prepeard for the worst as well. Mojo had a toe removed 12 mths ago from cancer, we also had Mojo's dad, Nelson, PTS because of toe cancer that spread to his lungs, only 6 mths ago. So i am hoping the toe cancer hasn't spread to Mojo's liver. we found a great holistic vet that helped us a lot with nelson and he lived 2 yrs longer then he was given buy the traditional vet. They told us he has 6 weeks to live,So i will Definatly be contacting her for Mojo if it turn's out for the worst. thank you again for you kindness and suport. lea

One of my fur kids has a suspected liver tumor any one know any thing about what may happen ? obviously they cant take the liver out, is there any hope for him?

RIP Angel enjoy your golden harness, run free with the other huskies.
