:rolleyes: ;) ;) I have been a really good girl this year.

Ignore Clyde, I know this pup is mine

1/2 a cup of dry food a day is a lot for a little old dog. Quite a few years ago I used to feed my old 20 kg dog 1 cup of special dietary dry and that maintained her slightly overweight weight!

I've just realised something! Oh oh oh are you my SS? Is this my Chrissie present? When should I expect him/her? I am sooooo excited

I am so sorry for your loss Daisy. Rest in Peace Hazel

Me too! I would love one of their cage dryers for maintenance grooming! I have to say I was disappointed in the lack of air flow with the Beacon when I was at your place Clyde. A cat breeder friend raves about hers but the other day she casually said, oh I use my hair dryer at the same time as well I am glad that I got to see one before I bought it so saved my money! Yes the Liberty is a bit noisy, like the Simpson, but I have a silencer on mine so not too bad. The cats don't seem to mind it, which is the main thing.

RIP Buzzy. You were way to young to be taken from those you loved.

I have a Liberty stand dryer which I use for the Persians and the dogs. I love it! It has good force behind the air plus heat on the high setting and the low setting is great for finishing them off. It is also easy to adjust and swivel around with a directional nozle.

I have a Liberty stand dryer for drying Persian cats and love it. I have never had it serviced in the 9+ years I have had it

Delta Cortef is the trade name for Prednisolone which is a cortisone. There is heaps of info on the internet about but just found this quickly for you: http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/predn...lone/page1.aspx

I don't know about that breed and what happens to the coat when it is clipped so hopefully others can help you with that. Are you on the south or north side of Wollongong. I have used Impeccable Pets at Woonona and been very happy with them - cost was about $40 but that was last year so may be more now. Also mine was for a Poodle trim. Best thing to do is to ring them and ask them.

I am very sorry to read this news Danois. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. RIP Angus, no more pain

I have a Cav the same - drives me insane when she starts jumping around and barking. She has to sit quietly for her dinner but she is trembling the whole time I used to have a storage bin for their dry food with a clip on type lid - they got into that one day and ate so much they looked like barrels themselves and could hardly walk! Now I have screw top container! So I don't think it is the quantity, I just think they love food! On the positive side, she is very easy to train when you are holding a treat.

I have no idea what is wrong with your cat, I can only tell you about my experience. When my cat was coughing, tests revealed she had Lymphoma.

My cattle dog was four YEARS old before he lifted his leg to wee

If you go to the Pet Plan website you can download the terms and conditions.

Don't let her drink too much - small amounts often and not cold water either. If you can get some Lectade it is excellent for keeping her hydrated.

Perhaps her feet have been wet and she has a fungal infection. Malaseb is always a good thing to try for a few days to see if there is any relief. If not, off to the vets!

That new hair cut takes years off him

I have been doing a bit of phoning around this morning and the static pulse collars are illegal in NSW, however, debarking isn't if it is done according to prescribed circumstances. More info on debarking here: http://www.vpb.nsw.gov.au/Boardtalk/2002/d...mber2002_10.htm Puggles you may find that the poor Pug is responding to all the heartache and anguish in the household and a change of scenery may settle him down. My heart goes out to the family and to the dog.

I've been told that these types of collars are illegal in NSW now. Previously you needed a vet's "prescription" - before the legislation was changed. Anyone now what the update on the legislation is as I can't find anything?

I have just started giving my dogs the Purina Sensitive Systems Formula and it has made the ACD's poops sloppy. The two little dogs are fine on it but obviously he isn't!

I clip a couple of my old Persians regularly. I use a number 7 blade so it gives a little length and then just taper it off at the top of the leg. To try to clip a cat's legs is to risk your life :D

It could be KC but unlikely the dogs got it from the boarding kennel with that time frame. Or it could be from barking themselves hoarse while they were boarded
