there are some great videos out there for desensitising Like NewAmstaffOwner I spend time everyday, touching/grabbing my guys feet so it's not too much of a big deal for them Oh, I also cut them in the bath before they get a wash, and this also helps to keep them still.

CreamyPuff, Rhino was the same, as in the first time I was using Epi-soothe, 2nd time changed to QV wash and the lumps still returned, that's when the derm mentioned his "skin barrier" and not massaging it into his coat/skin. At first I thought he wouldn't be clean if I just wiped it on, but surprisingly it actually works very well. I just wipe in the same direction as the hair growth 1/2 a dozen times, leave for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. We use Pyohex shampoo now though.

Permoxin would probably help as a replant, it's very cheap to use too!

I had a very similar problem with Rhino when he was younger. 24 - 36 hours after washing he got lumps down his back just like your girls It happened again after the next bath and after discussing with my derm, she suggested not pouring the shampoo directly onto his back and not massaging it in either, instead I now rub it in my hands and just wipe it over him and he hasn't had the problem since. The derm said it could be due to lack of/dysfunction(not her words but I can't remember exactly what she said lol) of his skin barrier. Just thought I'd mention it so you can keep it in mind for her next wash

Can you ask for them to copy the xrays onto disk?? Of course assuming they are digital? I have copies of all Electra's xrays, taken at 3 different times.

yep, 12 months from his last vacc which would put him around 15 -16 months old when he's due

I just did a quick google search for "dog safe snail killer"(with out the " "'s though) and there are quite a few good ideas

How about Revolution It says on the packet it contains Selamectin

If you can get some one to take your puppy to the VET ASAP I really think it is best. As well as Murdoch there are two other after hours vets that I know of Perth Vet Emergency on Selby St North, in Osborne Park Balcatta Veterinary Hospital on Erindale Road, in Balcatta

I'm not really sure if you'd consider Rhino's nose wide, but the at the point of his nose it's about 9cm and back towards his eyes is roughly 11cm

Unfortunately I can't trust my two inside unsupervised, so if I need to go out(even for a short period) I leave the air con on inside, that way there is heaps of cool air flowing through the back security screen.

What a great idea I just did a quick search and found this Care Package info

I'm glad to hear Bundy is doing so well after his operation I had to go through a similar thing with Electra when she was only 4&1/2 months old, crated for 4-6weeks and trying to keep her happy and quiet was challenging but well worth the effort! I hope things keep on improving for you both

Hi Just did a bit of searching and found this site http://www.windjanapark.com/ It says they are a Distributing Agent for Thoroughbred Fix

My two, will try destroy anything they have to play with and they also both love chewing stuff ;) unfortunatley the tuffy toys didn't last long but I have found that the large everlasting fun ball and the extreme kongs are great. they are about 2cm at the most(guessing)

Hi valleyCBR My guys are on an elimination diet, I use Hills z/d Ultra dry food & venison for training treats. For fresh meat you also have goat, rabbit, emu, venison & camel.

The website states

As a cheaper option to proper baby gates, I use the bunnings compost cage pieces as gates inside, taped on one side to wall or frame, so they swing open like little doors. They are 90cm x 70cm and still keep my 2 x 17 month olds out of rooms I don't want them to get into :D

Another vote for Deb from me she's taken care of Electra really well As well as doing acupuncture she is also a veterinary(sp?) chiropractor

I too, am so sorry to hear this Ruth RIP Ivan

Rhino is on cetirizine(Zyrtec), though I buy a genetic brand(c-zine) as he's been prescribed to take 4 a day(2 twice a day) He's around 27kg As sas says, definitely ask your vet the dosage rates for Honey :D

I wasn't told at the time, as in when they were 12 weeks old, but it was a different vet(at the same practice) we saw back then. If I had been informed or given a choice on such young pups I definitely would have chosen the normal vaccine!

The "3 yearly", or the "12 monthly once every 3 years" ? My vet recommended the "3 yearly" vaccine. I was concerned about it and asked if it was stronger than the normal yearly one and he told me it was. I trust this particular vet and went ahead with it, but have struggled to find any information about it Does anyone have any links or information for it? ETA: He did inform me that they both got the "3 yearly" vaccine at 12 weeks, and explained this was why they didn't need a third vaccination at 16 weeks.
