his name is zultan he is really gental and seems to only have a short span of playing he will play for 5 mins then will sit back down and snooze. hes around 18 months old. mum and dad are really happy with him.

hi there my parents just recently got a dog from the animal welfare league, they were told he was a husky x but they were not sure what hes crossed with? any ideas?

my ACD's joints crack when he gets up. Hes 10 months does your dog do this aswell as being stiff?

xray shows that the infection is clearing up the poor bugger has got three different types of antibiotics to take. the first week he would just take them out of your hand and eat them, now hes learn't that they are not tasty treats and will hardly take them in his food. so now we have to force them down.

Why is he being xrayed at his checkup? Didnt the emergency vets already take an xray? If so they can just listen to his lungs to hear if there is still fluid on them. hes there today for the xray i will definately be questioning why he had to have one when i go to pick him up later. hes been on antibiotics for two weeks and i dont see much of a improvement. he is still panting when doing bugger all. i guess ill find out whats going on later today.

thanks guys for your help he is getting better i think? we have to take him back next week for a xray

he's his normal self now runing around and wanting to play he is very happy. its very hard to keep him quiet and still! the minute he starts playing and moving around the house hes panting. we are trying to keep in one spot and sit with him cause he just follows us everywhere.

did the antibiotics clear it up? and how long did it take her to get over it?

hi all, our 8 month old pup gave us a bit of a fright early friday morning, when he woke us up by being sick beside the bed. straight after the happened he lost all of his body functions and rolled onto his side and stopped breathing. my other half realised this straight away and started to push chest together to allow him to get some air. he wouldn't open his mouth i had to forcelly open it up for him and checked his air way which was ok. straight away i ran up the emergency vet and rushed him up there, lucky its only 15 minutes away from us. the vet check him out by the time we got there he was breathing but was still having problems and was more alert than before. they kept him over night and in the morning they xrayed his chest to see how his lungs and heart were. the xrays showed that there is fulid on the lungs and his heart is normal size for his age. so the vet has put this episode down to pneumonia, but is a little unsure why he passed out and stopped breathing. anyway he is on antibiotics for 2 weeks then has a check up xray in 2 weeks time to see if it has cleared up. has any one else had this problem before?

we feed our young man Eukanuba thats what the breeder recommended, we seem to have no problem with it. for dinner he gets chicken mince with calcium carbonate and feramo vitamin supplement aswell as mixed vegies. he love his food, his coat is healthy and soft.

yeah i do that

how do u apply it am i doing it wrong?

i find it wets the hair more than soaking the skin it say on the back of the pack to sqirt in one spot but i find it take for ever to dry.

hi everyone iam currently using advocate on my 6 month old pup, i was wanting to know if there is any other brands out there that do the 3 in 1 in a chewable instead of the liquid drops. i find it very messy and it smells bad. has anyone had the same issue and switched to something else? thanks sarah

do you use them once a month or every three months

do you use the extra wormer each month or every three months? i have just started our pup on it im a bit of a newbie thanks sarah

hi my ACD is currently 14 weeks and i'm curious to know roughly how big he is going to be? here is a pic of him at 12 weeks so you can see how big he is, everyone says that he has huge paws and that he is going to be big! i would love your opion. if you have a ACD or had ACDs could you please post some pics of fully grown male so i can see thanks Sarah

thanks guy for your advice, he is now 12 weeks and has been to 2 puppy classes. he has learn't how to sit, watch, drop, and almost stay while walking away. we have just started to put his food in his kong and treat ball which is helping to keep him occupied. he also is learning that if he barks while playing or waiting for tea he doesn't get it until hes quiet, same as if hes playing with us and starts biting we put the toy in his mouth to stop him or walk away. he is a very intelligent dog learns fast and has a lovely personality, now i just can't wait till he gets his last vac so i can start taking him for walks. does anyone in Adelaide know of a good dog school to take him to after the new year, possibly in the northern suburbs. thanks sarah

hi we have recently bought a ACD from a breeder, we have had him for 3 weeks now and is almost 11 weeks. in the last week he has started to bark at us, we have told him NO in a deep tone but he thinks its a game and runs away. the biting problem happens when we sometimes try to pat him or we are playing with him, he gets too excited and goes for our hands. again we tell him NO in a deep tone and i have also tried to yelp when he does it. that only worked a couple of times. Also is he old enough to learn to go for walks? we are finding it hard as he is getting bored of just playing in the house and yard. he has tones of toys but a short attention span. Another thing we are trying to get him in to puppy pre school but because its getting close to christmas everyone seems to be booked then closing over December to February! Other than that he has been a really good pup. thanks sarah
