Double post gremlins...

Normally if bats are woken from torpor it's best for them to go not care until spring. They use energy reserves to wake up and will usually not have enough left to survive the winter.

:rofl: Good thread though. I have half a hundred mental notes on what setup I'd love. But am still using the handheld shower. Recently moved house and had to install a handheld unit in the shower but it cost less than $15 from Bunnings.

I would first get pup very warm and very relaxed and check again. At 12 weeks they could be still mobile...

I haven't used them Nawnim but the vet clinic staff seem very professional and competent.

I have used Sonza for greyhound desexing and they were excellent. I had once react badly to anaesthetic and they looked after him like royalty - after their quick actions saved him. The bill the next day was a pleasant surprise as well considering all their work - quite amazing really!!

:love: What a face! You must be very proud of producing such a lovely pup.

Well said Crisovar.

Some folks don't realise that not all foot shapes will wear well from normal activity like this though. Dewclaws should be removed from babies. My vet has been verbally abused for suggesting it so no longer does. People have no idea how bad they can be untrimmed, or even worse - badly injured. Awful pics - very glad poor dog has some relief now!

Report your experiences here: APVMA AERP I think there is a pinned thread on here re the same.

What a shame they don't have Borzoi or Afghan Hound. Nevermind. :)

The product requires registration in order to be lawfully supplied in Australia. Which it does not have.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/tahmoor-murder-of-pit-bull-owner-scott-hammond-still-a-mystery-family-appeal-for-information/story-fni0cx12-1226681737512 POLICE are convinced people in the NSW town of Tahmoor know who killed pitbull owner Scott Hammond. Mr Hammond, 48, was found bludgeoned to death in his Tahmoor home on July 1. His funeral was held today at Forest Lawn Memorial Park at Leppington. "We believe there people in the Tahmoor community who have informtion about Mr Hammond's murder," said Superintendent Danny Doherty. He said while members of the community have come forward with information but other residents have not been helpful. "But there are others who have not been forthcoming with information which could help solve this case." Mr Hammond's mother Josophine today begged for the community to help detectives catch her son's killer. "Someone knows who has done this," she said. "We are devastated by his death. You don't expect to bury your children." Mr Hammond's niece niece Kylie Gillies said she wanted her uncle's killer caught. "Its gutless. Whoever has done this should stand-up," she said. Mr Hammond had made enemies in the town south of Sydney after ordering his dogs to attack locals. He had numerous run-ins with police over drug-related incidents and for setting his aggressive pitbulls on people - including a teenage boy who was mauled in 2011. Local shop owner Danny Forrest also suffered a severe wound after being attacked by Mr Hammond's dogs. Mr Hammond last year pleaded guilty to three counts of causing his dog to inflict actual bodily harm and was handed a suspended jail sentence and ordered to pay a $15,000 fine after setting his pitbulls on several people in Tahmoor in 2011, leaving them with serious bite wounds. Police have not ruled out revenge as a motive for his brutal killing. THE family of murdered 40-year-old Scott Hammond will today join police in a renewed appeal for information following his mysterious death earlier this month. Police discovered Mr Hammond’s battered body in the lounge room of his Tahmoor home on July 1 and police at the time said he was well known to authorities. “He came to police attention as both offender and victim,” acting superintendent Danny Doherty said. “This is a violent murder. We believe it was an attack by someone who knew (him).” He was served with a suspended jail sentence last year after pleading guilty to setting his pit bull dogs on to a number of people, including a teenager, around south west Sydney. Those attacks provided police with a number of possible motives, but investigations have so far proved unfruitful. Mr Hammond will be buried today and his family are holding a joint media conference with acting superintendent Doherty and the local area commander of Camden police. “Scott’s mother and niece have flown from Queensland to attend today’s service. This will be the only opportunity for media to speak with the Hammond family,” a statement from NSW police reads. It is understood police believe Tahmoor residents may be covering up for Scott Hammond’s killer.

I thought the same Perse - he left the world still a grand and proud figure and didn't suffer by the sound of it. And re your spoiler: Not at all. He obviously touched you deeply.

Sad for such a grand gentleman to be gone so suddenly. There are some beautiful photos of him around online today. I feel for those like you Perse who had a connection with him, as well as his keepers past and present.

That's exactly it HA. Particularly with Tylosin being in the macrolide group of ABs - resistance issues to these can be serious indeed. Some of the macrolides are last ditch treatments in serious human conditions and they are especially controlled with a view to reducing resistance issues. Just because people are willing to skirt laws and sell this doesn't make it good or safe.

Not necessarily, but if it is antibacterial it should be registered. Check products here: APVMA pubcris This link is interesting as well: http://www.tearstaincenter.com/tear-stain-remover/tylosin-potentially-dangerous/ It's a bit scary that the lady you bought it off either didn't know what was in it, or was prepared to lie about it.

The product is not registered for use or supply in Australia. Apart from anything else like unknown risk levels to individual animals, low doses of antibiotics contribute to serious resistance issues both in animals and in the wider community. This even impacts upon human health issues.

If the drug had been correctly prescribed and the owner made the error then it woukd be a ase of owner error. A pretty simple way to practice legally and avoid any accusations and complcations really. Whether or not the owner made an error, a professional should be aware of their legal requirements, and of the dangers involved in off-label use of human medications in animals. With a tiny dose like that it seems pretty reasonable to expect a normal person could have difficulty in administration.

She changed the mother?? She didn't know which litter was which??

Prescriptions involve more than over the phone advice. Seemingly for good reason. A prescription involves a consultation with the animal.

No - but it shows that the vet is thinking outside the box in order to provide relief for the animal until it can be seen by a vet during business hours. Country vets understand people not being able to drop everything and get their animal to a clinic at all hours. This vet advised a dosage of ibuprofen that would not be dangerous to give to the cat in question, and would give it some pain relief. Remember that the OWNER was the one to quadruple the dose... not the vet. T. It's also not quite legal though T. Vets shouldn't be cutting corners and their legal responsibilities. I'm well aware of the sort of issues country animal owners deal with sometimes. But that doesn't excuse professionals from legal responsibility.

Gorgeous pics indeed!

Yay a new hound exhibitor!!! There's a pinned thread on here I think as well. If you're venturing uphill to the inland shows around Canberra make sure you come say hello if you see borzoi people. Hound people in our southern half of the state tend to be a pretty friendly bunch. I wear slacks and a shirt - add a jacket in cold weather. Op shops are great for jackets. With a Tri colour you might want to steer clear of black pants as her back/topline will get lost against your legs. Grey is a handy colour and doesn't show up hair, dirt, chalk etc too much. :D

Can depend on the ammunition. Most police ammunition is designed for stopping power/ impact and not penetration power. So even a well aimed shot can fail to kill an animal.
