Minis are on after lunch restart 1.15 & there is 35 before them

I doubt the stuff has worked that quickly ,never has in my experience . Some vets can do them not knocked out but its rare & personally i prefer knocked out so they can get what they need done quickly & place the dog in the position that best gives answers. The dog may need to simply see a good chiro or bowen person

Personally i say suck it up & stop trying to blame the DA dog if infact its truly DA . You weren't paying attention & where obviously standing chatting near the walkway ,you had no idea what your pup was doing until it got to close ,you said it was pulling to get closer yet didn't take control of your pup just kept talking near a walkway that i gather other people with dogs also had to use . Big or small makes no difference .

Small dog owner they where walking & distracted .

So what is the long term plan ,will she be chained for life ?? In wet weather is that her only form of protection .

Yep talk to your breeder because your breeder should also help with the grooming needs for the show ring as your breed is an art to prepare. If showing was never discussed in the first place then chances are your pup may not be suitable . Go to some shows & watch . Points is the easy part but learning how to prepare & maintain a poodle coat each week is far more important . Hopefully it hasn't had a pet trim yet ??

All our pups must be desexed,don't care about the science .Science doesn't prevent moron owners breeding there pet dogs & owning a breed highly sort after by BYB & DD breeders & exporting we will stick with desexing 100%

Bowen is gentle & works wonders ,what people forget is the other parts of the body take on the pressure when the dog is down so it may not be the back but the neck/shoulders . The biggest thing is life needs to change & daily activities need to be factored as to what will /won't cause grief .Also getting the dog groomed more often can help . When my dachie went down in his back we did the myelogram path issue was the uni decided to do surgery without our permission dog walked in/couldn't walk out but after months of physio ,chiro & massage we got him back up. Supplement wise i would use arnica tablets & rub arnica/comfry gel on the back ,good horse places have the best gel

This was on my wish list as a child for my showdog but they where not recognized here.

I would not get another dog unless you want one & no guarantees she will accept a new dog or pup anyway . If your plan is to have another dog then i wouldn't rush out just to get her a mate . Her routine has changed big time even to he sleeping arrangements ,her pack leader is no longer there & she is now having to fend for herself without having the skills to do it . What is her hearing /eye sight like ??

We have used Zrytec .claratyne,phenergen & a number of generic brands .Periactin we have used for appetite stimulant We board dogs & many vets now are prescribing anti histamines on a daily use for dogs with issues .The most common is Phenergan but it can make them drowsy . The dogs on these vary with issues ,some are highly reactive to stings & others just seasonal stuff ,some work better on some dogs & not others. The biggest issue ofcourse is what hes reacting to & whether a antihistamine will work but it won't hurt. Whilst you say no supplements there are some that can work very well & are cheap as chips ,we use a flax seed granule $8 a bag ,we have a number of clients also using it & found a massive difference with there itchy dogs .

Whippet .

I trust my dogs in mine but they are hotter than wire crates so i rarely use them prefer the safety of the wire,ease of attaching the water bowl & the air flow is better

I would be getting her back now ,she is still young & if this behaviour is so out of the nor it may simply not be a good match .

Depends on the issue & how long between treatments or how long the issue has been there.If its a long term untreated issue yes there could be soreness, If my guys are sore they they recover quickly as i do a yearly maintenance plan . I pick afternoon appointments as it works in better for quiet time plus it makes my guys very sleepy but in the morning they will feel to good so i still limit there daily level. I do use arnica tablets if required & will give them a few days before . Mine go every 4/6 weeks . I also think the person doing the bowen also makes a big difference

Yep use a chain ,lets face in those good old days you saw far more better behaved dogs . Now with obedience classes insisting on flat collars only we see via the kennels more people giving up walking there dogs because it isn't working the dogs are slipping out & there terrified it may happen out on walks * for many clubs these days its there way or no way Harness i totally hate especially when used on an untrained dog .

This isn't your dog & you need to back off . Sadly now this dog is more confused & the howling may result in other neighbours complaining or it digging out on the wrong side or something awful happening .
