shmoo

not as common, but i still pull them off dogs at work.

my little guys get a chicken neck with everymeal. i put sardines in their mince to combat any constipation that might occur. they love it and their teeth are fab!

i would just do something luke warm.

Can i just add any profiles written in this thread have been written by the poster and is based on an honor system. this thread is not designed to provide a false sense of security. if you decide to have dealing with anybody in rescue it is YOUR responsibility to research their procedures and conduct and use your own judgment.

i would have thought alot more people would post in here. are people finding this thread pointless? i for one am happy to finally read more about people i interact with - who they are with, who knows who, who rescues what.

yup just get it pulled out. dont want it to push around her adult teeth

good idea... NOW NO TALKING!

no talking on the thread greying-fast

do you feed bones? could have torn her bowels. i would keep checking. if the blood goes away i wouldnt worry. but if it gets worse or keeps persisting consult the vet.

good stuff! well at least you are now prepared for the worst

i just bathed the 3 greys in the bath. i have an extension on the tap that makes it like a flexible shower head. killed my back thou! normally i bath them in a hydrobath which takes about 2 seconds!

Not in this house! All my crew will happily snack on any vegie or fruit i give them. But when we give them dinner we grate/or mash the vegies up to mix it through with rice and meat.

and the clippers!

You mean your clients actually realise they have fleas before they call you? Mine never seem to know! Or at least pretend they didn't know Good point... yeah, some of them actually know beforehand.... probably about 50/50 at where i work

what happened there?!!?

but ive heard from hairdressers that if they find nits in somebodys hair they are legally no longer allow to proceed and have to ask them to leave! could you imagine if we did that to clients with fleas?! gee we would loose half our work!

Great! I hope it turns out well

garlic is in the same family as onions, but much high quantities are needed to have the same bad effects.

Actually, the vegies are best given raw after going through the food processor. Cooking them destroys the water soluable vitamins. Yup.

Its manageable Lissa. I'm surprised your vet didn't mention it to you and check to see if it was the case. Your vet might want to take some x-rays with the leg at different angles to see what the Patella is doing when his leg is moving. I would try that, and take it from there.

found this on a website! might pin it up at work Why does my Dog's Haircut cost more than mine? 10. Your hairdresser doesn't wash and clean your bottom. 9. You don't go for eight weeks without washing or brushing your hair. 8. Your hairdresser doesn't throw in a free Brazilian! 7. Your hairdresser doesn't clean out your ears. 6. Your hairdresser doesn't have to clean boogies from your eyes. 5. You sit still for your hairdresser. 4. Your haircut doesn't include a manicure or pedicure. 3. Your hairdresser only washes and cuts the hair on your head. 2. You don't bite or scratch your hairdresser. and the number 1 reason your dog's haircut costs more than yours: 1. The likelyhood of you pooing or weeing while your hair is being cut is fairly slim!

here is a googled answer to Luxating Patellar http://www.wolfweb.com.au/acd/luxpatella.htm and here http://aaczar.bigbutton.com.au/Patella.html

this is jack. you can see his ribs. he is a healthy weight for a grey i believe eta: jack would eat the house if it was made from food. he will eat anything. ive caught him stealing zuccini and beans from our fruit and vege box before!

no probs :D sounds like a meal my OH would eat
