I had an old hydrobath like that and my pump was external. It was a water transfer pump, is that how a pool pump works?

I can imagine what they get. I stopped breeding Persian cats because of dealing with people. Stupid comments, in the middle of the night by phone, 'red, like a traffic light'. No red, like red hair was my response. Bought a phone that I could turn the ringer off after that!

I've looked at this for when I am in areas where there is no vet close. It looks similar to the GP consult by phone type businesses - it's a triage service. Here's a link that might help: https://www.vetchat.com.au/

I had this happen to me at a dog park when travelling. It was empty so in we went, 5 minutes later a bloke turns up with two 2 huge dogs, looking on his phone, then sits down and turns away from his dogs to do more on his phone. So annoying. We left!

Why are so many dogs leash reactive these days?
jemappelle replied to Amazetl's topic in General Dog Discussion
My 7 year old Cav has become leash reactive in the last few months. We can walk past people's yards and around caravan parks, with dogs behind fences and barking at us, and she doesn't even look at them. But one coming towards us and it's on. So annoying! I try to go the other way before it starts but sometimes the other dogs just appear. -
Housetraining question (actually more 'when is he not a baby' question)
jemappelle replied to BDJ's topic in Puppy Chat
That's great but be aware that he isn't reliably house trained for some time eg up to 9 months of age. I find the boys take a bit longer than the girls and can't hold on for as long. -
Update: Woman Attacked by Her 2 Rottweilers Breaks Her Silence
jemappelle replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
@Deedsif you Google her name and gofundme you will probably find it. Not much is private these days! -
Yes it looks like they didn't have the dog registered before you purchased it. What a shame! I wonder if you could contact the Office of Local Government to appeal this as it is not your fault!? I'd be contacting them first off.

Are you in NSW as it varies from state to state? It sounds like you are, and the registration fee is for the life of the animal, no matter who owns it. Here's more info relevant to NSW: https://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/public/dogs-cats/nsw-pet-registry/microchipping-and-registration/

Just lovely. Perhaps your little dog is a little deaf!

How much water is he drinking? Perhaps limit it to really small amounts.

How can I sort my dog's teeth out?
jemappelle replied to MeAndMyBC's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
Raw meaty bones from the butcher. Firstly though she may need a dental so I would be checking in with the vet first as you don't want any broken teeth. -
Training an eight year old rescue dog
jemappelle replied to Pete n Kaye's topic in Training / Obedience / Dog Sports
All I can think of is that you give the bird (and chooks) a treat and the dog one at the same time if it is sitting nicely and calmly. Keep the dog on a lead to (try to) keep it calm, walk calmly to the cage, with lots of praise and reward. Every time the dog starts to get even a tiny bit excited stop, look upwards, stay still and remain calm until the dog is calm and move again. You will need patience! Good luck! -
Terrifying Dog Attack in Sydney. Woman Injured Pet Dog Critical.
jemappelle replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
That is so true. Having had one of my dogs attacked on an off lead beach caused me much anxiety for the best part of 20 years and I am not going to read the article as it will bring it all back, however, I have learnt enough from the comments posted. I only ever went back to that off lead beach once, and it was with this dog once he had recovered, on a week day when no one was around. I made it a fun experience for him and we left. -
Dog Attack Death Inquest Begins. ABC News 3/7/23.
jemappelle replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
I was just thinking about this attack a few days ago so thanks for posting the link. I was living in the area at the time and it shook the whole community. It's interesting to read a bit about the condition of the dogs and how they were kept. Such a terrible situation. -
Cavalier King Charles with Pneumocystis Canis
jemappelle replied to _PL_'s topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I'll be interested to hear of her progress and everything crossed she makes a good recovery. -
I'm so sorry to hear that @Rebanne. Such a shock but as you said, it was so quick that she didn't suffer. Take care of yourself.

Cavalier King Charles with Pneumocystis Canis
jemappelle replied to _PL_'s topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I'm just reading her story now. The appeal was shared on the Cavalier pages but I hadn't read her whole story. Can you tell me what VSOS is please? Also is this condition curable? -
Thank you @Princess Fru Fru. I think I have all the info now and can make a decision.
-
Interesting @Rebanne. Thanks and I will have look at Global Micro. I had forgotten about Australasian Animal Registry and they didn't come up when I Googled. I think that was who I was going to list them with last time I looked at this but I got distracted!
-
As I understand it, the NSW Companion Animal Register can't always be accessed from other states or has that changed? If it is the current situation, does anybody know which is the best register to put my dogs on in case something goes pear shaped when travelling? Thanks for any help!

Gastroesophageal reflux desease
jemappelle replied to amybear's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I'm a human GERD sufferer and I really can eat whatever I like when on medication so I would also suggest trying another medication. There are a lot available over the counter now so have a chat to your vet and see what else they recommend trying. -
Why Vets Are Burning Out and Leaving the Industry. ABC News 24 May 2023
jemappelle replied to Deeds's topic in In The News
I agree ¬Anne¬. I think this is one of the reasons we have such a shortage of professionals eg doctors, vets, teachers etc.
