2 things I'd be trying with the dermatitis... lather with Neocort for a couple of days - rub it in thoroughly so it's effective... or if it needs to be dried out, you could try EDP powder or similar. May need antibiotics for a week to boost the healing process... If the dog has been at the vet for the time she has spent in the strapping, then I'd not be expecting any extra bill for the swollen foot or dermatitis treatment (as she should have been checked regularly for either happening)... but if she was at home for the 10 days, then it's anyone's game re "fault" for the swelling and dermatitis... T.

It sounds like the strapping was done a bit too tight - as evidenced by the swollen foot... and that it possibly had gotten wet or damp somewhere along the way, which has caused the dermatitis. T.

That actually made me cry... that poor dog... T.

Aww... T.

I delighted a lovely lady out walking her Tentie one evening... she was completely amazed that I knew what a Tentie was - and could recognise one. Of course I got myself lots of cuddles and kisses from said Tentie too... lol! T.

Well - Zeddy is the best trained of the lot... but she needs help to get up onto the furniture as she's nearly 15 and a little stiff in the cooler weather... lol! I have a DOLer neighbour who has a couple of lovely dogs who may fit the bill though... *grin* T.

You were a beautiful boy Dougie... and very much loved... smile down and purr for your mumma to not miss you too much, OK? T.

Damn! I wish mine were well trained enough to do anything but drape themselves on the furniture... *sigh* T.

If the dog has been accurately (ie. pathology results) diagnosed with Hemagiosarcoma, and he's anaemic and lethargic, it may be that the kindest thing for him is to give him his wings with dignity and love. You may be able to buy a short amount of time with expensive treatments and surgery - but at what cost to the dog's quality of life? This is one of the nastiest cancers, as it usually attacks the internal organs like the spleen, liver, lungs, and heart before you'll see any outward signs of the disease... by which time it's usually pretty far gone internally. T.

Maybe Dougie is telling you it's OK... if you've found a lovely little kitty to help mend the hole in your heart, I say go for it! T.

People go away when they have dogs? Really? Seriously, I usaually board 2 of my dogs, and my lovely neighbour is happy to feed and play with the other 2 for a few days. If it were for a longer time I'd board all 4 - but that could end up costing more than the actual holiday itself... *sigh* The only time I've had away from my dogs in many years is when I've had to go to hospital - and 2 of those visits weren't planned... errr! I have amazing neighbours and friends who happily managed my dogs while I was laid up. T.

Here's one of my old girl Zeddy that my friend took on her phone the other day... Zeddy will be 15 on August 28th... still pretty cute, yes? T.

Run free and healthy at the Bridge Dougie... you've earned the rest old man... Hugs at you perse... T.

A big DITTO here... I think I'm secretly a huge Don fan... *grin* T.

Wicked photos! T.

Done. T.

Love it to bits! Simply gorgeous! T.

Dogtainers... T.

If she's happier in the laundry at night, that's where I'd be putting her until she's older and/or the weather is warmer. For my own dogs and the myriad foster pups I've had along the way, I've invested in large cage crates and put them in my bedroom - pups settle MUCH faster if they can at least see their family members. T.

Stunning!!! T.

Good boy Don!!! T.

I've emailed the advertiser and politely suggested that Taronga may be an option for his Dingo pup... fingers crossed... T.

The problem with having dingoes as pets is that they need to have been separated from their mum pretty early - or at least extremely well handled by humans from a very early age - or they won't make very good family pets at all. Sounds like this fellow has bitten off way more than he could chew, and now has a destructive and unruly teenage dog on his hands that he wants rid of - he mentions that the dog has had no training and is in great need of some... *sigh* I'm guessing that he's probably already tried to get the wildlife parks around to take the dog and they have politely declined. Symbio don't have the room for him, and I'm pretty sure Featherdale have their hands full with 4 adults and 7 new pups at the moment. Don't know about Castle Hill or Gosford Reptile parks situations re Dingoes, as I haven't been to either yet. He might have a chance with Taronga - I've noticed that their old Dingo enclosure has been empty for a while now... T.

OMG! The baby one is stunning! Look at the lovely crop of hair and the cute "death stare" you are getting... lol! T.

*swoon* T.
