I also offered to go pick Scarlet up and to bring her to my student workplace clinic - at least I woiuld be allowed in with her for anything needing doing - but it's an hour's drive, and poor Scarlet would feel every little bump in the road... T.

Scarlet cries at every movement @Powerlegs... and after yesterday, my boss is very leery of not being with her if something needs doing - and most clinics aren't allowing clients into the clinic with their pets... Scarlet is otherwise OK - no temperature or other signs of illness - just pain from what was done to her yesterday. I can't believe that the vet in question didn't send her home with pain medication... grrr! I've found some Meloxicam here, and have offered to drive it to her... T.

I've passed that on to my boss... thanks @Deeds T.

So, my boss has a tiny toy poodle, Scarlet... 1.5kg fully grown... She took her to the vet yesterday for her first adult booster vaccinations - and the vet injected the intranasal version of the KC vaccine. The vet then decided to inject a bolus of saline solution to the area which has caused a massive painful swelling. The only drugs administered were antibiotics... Poor Scarlet is in a pretty bad way today... unable to walk or hold her head up without crying from pain. My boss can't even pick her up as every small movement is causing pain. Scarlet is otherwise OK... it's just very painful to do anything... and she's lying around just looking miserable and causing my boss great distress. There are no vet clinics open locally, and my boss refuses to go to the emergency clinic nearest her, as the vet on duty there has a poor track record with my boss's animals historically. I've suggested trying to drape a warmed teatowel over the area to warm it and maybe relieve some of the pain that way, but am at a loss as to other things to try to help poor little Scarlet... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This is Scarlet... she is such a smart and sweet little thing... https://www.facebook.com/Scarlet-the-Poodle-2011790902209479/?epa=SEARCH_BOX T.

Chicken carcasses, thigh bones, and the like are really cheap... my dogs pretty much live on them here in Sydney. 10 bucks for 10 kilos... sometimes even less... T.

Also Uncle Albers... *grin* T.

Bonnie is decent value for money... can get in puppy, adult, and working dog varieties. Most produce stores should stock it... T.

I just want to reach out and grab her gorgeous face and plant a huge kiss on it... so pretty! T.

She is so beautiful! Please plant a big kiss on her schnozz from me... T.

I am so glad that I could be part of creating some lovely memories of sweet Jeune for you Cyn... she was a huge character in that little body... I'll remember that about her with smiles... T.

Oh Cyn... I'm so sorry... I am priviledged to have met sweet Jeune and been granted the honour of a pat/cuddle... she will be remembered by me with love and smiles... she deserves that... My beloved Woosie will be showing her all the best hidden treats to eat, the best places for bunny chasing, and the ultimate sunny napping spots. Huge hugs to you my friend... T.

There is a report of some tigers returning positive COVID-19 tests... Bronx Zoo I think... T.

You'd think that pigs would be able to catch this from us... like they and us can share many other strains of cold/flu... Interesting about the ferrets though... T.

Her eyes do it for me every time... gorgeous girl! T.

Such a beautiful boy... you can see that he has a gentle soul... T.

I never get over the look he has reserved just for you... his all time fave human on the planet. How old is he now @persephone? I'm loving the distinguished grey highlights... such a handsome boy. T.

It certainly does appear that they are retaliating with a witch hunt for any transgressions they can pin on this woman. Regardless of the fact that she may not necessarily be following best practice with regards to her animals, and seems to be economically challenged (hence fronting up at RSPCA vet)... I'm in agreement with @moosmum that this should have been on their radar BEFORE this incident. T.

I want to know why Emma Hurst was allowed to ask so many questions of the various people giving evidence... when she isn't a part of the committee. Starting to look like a massive Animal Justice Party farce... grrr! T.

The warrant gives them the right to enter the house and take whatever is listed in that warrant... As if it isn't bad enough that they killed her kitten without consultation about it's prognosis... now they are resorting to bully tactics to hopefully find something to negate their own negligence in duty of care to the kitten and it's owner. This is what people are afraid of when publicly telling their horror stories about experiences with the RSPCA... grrr! T.

Pudden is perfect just as he is... we all need that one funny/silly character in our lives, yes? And between Clive, Don, and Pud, @persephone has the best helpers/looker-afterers ever... T.

I think I'm in love with the Boss... he goes the full 100% for the fur-workers... That said, you and the Boss raise some pretty resourceful dogs... *grin* ... with the odd exception... Clive, I'm looking at you... and Pud, definitely looking at you my furry friend... lol! T.

It sounds like Miss Bo is a very special girl indeed @persephone... and Dags and Clive may have just inherited some of her traits... Clive the snuggle dog, and Dags the mighty goat herder... Please give Miss Bo a gentle cuddle from me for being such a resourceful girl... T.

Go Dags!!! Good boy! I love how only 1 goat is actually looking at Dags... the others seem to be much more interested in the person taking the photo... lol! I so wish you were so much closer to Sydney... my work would love to buy the baby feral goats in those colour patterns... *sigh* T.

Hahaha! Pudden is such a doofus... ... and check out the look Clive is giving Pud... hahahaha! T.

I don't own a Kelpie or working breed mix dog, but I have been advised once or twice, that some Kelpies seem to need to have a "job" to do... something that keeps them mentally and physically stimulated... possibly why so many urban Kelpies can be a little ball obsessed - that is their "job"... T.
