It could also be nasal mites (my Daisy had this) If I remember correctly her vet treated her with Ivermectin this from my Google search: The most common signs associated with nasal mite infestation include bleeding from the nose, sneezing, “reverse sneezing” (sniffing air rapidly inward), impaired ability to pick up scents, facial itching, nasal discharge, labored breathing, head shaking, and high-pitched, noisy breathing. https://www.msdvetmanual.com/respiratory-system/respiratory-diseases-of-small-animals/canine-nasal-mites

Yes @JRG it's only sold in Woolies which is so annoying (and it's even hard to find there as it's on the bottom row and tucked away)

Have I got this straight? your pup's breeder sold you the pup for a 'pet only' home (Limited register) as her colour isn't correct but you would like to breed her? It's not looking good for you. The pup's breeder sold her to you at a reduced price because of her colour. Did you inform your pup's breeder that you wanted to breed her? Breeders sell their pups on 'Limited' to prevent the new owner's from breeding a dog whose puppies can be registered, this is to prevent the on-going of more dogs with faults which reflects on the original breeder and the breed-type itself.

buy some of this and mix with the regular food, my dogs love it and it's cheap, I think $2.50 https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/608307/woolworths-mackerel-in-oil

if this is the case, as PK says, these tags are quite good and can be engraved, I think I bought mine from Etsy or Fishpond.au---> dog tags

I thought antibiotics do not treat fungal infections but, in fact, may cause fungal infections but on having a little look on Dr Google i see a few snippets of info like this: Common antibiotics include dicloxacillin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. Antifungal agents: Oral antifungal drugs include fluconazole and itraconazole Saffy was on one of the 'conazole' drugs but that didn't help as she didn't have a fungal infection in her sinus' I hope you get to the bottom of you dog's problem giraffz

What Powerlegs said, maybe you could join this group and ask if the advertisement you are looking at is a scam Puppy SCAM awareness AUST https://www.facebook.com/groups/666467654086008/

like these ones:

instead of QV lotion perhaps use Keri oil https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/47500/alpha-keri-super-hydrating-shower-body-oil-1-litre Wee Maxi's vet said it's pretty good for skin problems. I infuse calendula petals in it for a few days. I use a yoghurt maker warmer like this one

maybe try some of this @giraffez https://cennutrition.com.au/product/cenoilfordogs/ my friend suggested it as her vet said it was good for her elderly mini horses (oddly enough it also kept the mozzies from biting)

I was just browsing the dried dog food as I sometimes give some to Henry when I've forgotten to get his chicken out of the freezer and I came across this brand: https://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/collections/dog-food-complete-diets/products/fit-n-flash-dog-food-kangaroo has anyone tried it?

These specialist are recommended by some of the Westie owners https://www.qldvetspecialists.com.au/contact

Oooo I just love Opal, just beautiful

Jerilderie Veterinary Clinic 19 hrs · PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING: Surrounding farms are starting to spread ‘Mouse Off’ over their crops to protect their livelihood from the impending mouse plague. This is different to our ‘run of the mill’ rat bait, as there is NO antidote and symptoms can start within minutes to hours after ingestion. If you suspect your pet has eaten any, stay well away from any vomit and transfer them to the vet clinic with your windows down or in the back of the Ute. As the bait mixes with the acid in their stomachs, it makes a poisonous gas that is toxic to us as well!!! PLEASE keep yourselves and your pets safe - make sure your dogs aren’t roaming on neighbouring properties and are tied up/secured properly when you’re not home. We have no magic wand for this stuff - keep your dogs in your backyard!

have you looked at the breeders on Dogzonline? https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/breeders/chow-chow.asp You would need to contact the ones you like and build up a rapport with them If you are searching for pups that are not on Dogzonline here is a facebook page that's worth posting the for sale as you have seen and asking if the breeder/puppies are legit: Puppy SCAM awareness AUST the link is here and download this---> Critical information for Chow Chow puppy buyers

There's a ripper of a Border Terrier at Qld Earthdogs, puts the rest of the dogs to shame https://www.facebook.com/QueenslandEarthDogs/

if you like terriers there is always robust Westies, Google 'Westies Agility' if you want to see some happy dogs though Border terriers have longer legs so my be more suitable for your family and I posted just for a laugh...I think that this one would like to compete in dock diving

YES to this! it's just so annoying

....sigh

The reason was some sentences in your previous posts (especially the third sentence) : I called the vet that gave her the needle and they said they are unsure why it’s not growing back at the same rate as the rest of her hair and that it should be. Vet also confirmed it is not scar tissue. The vet was so unhelpful but said there is no reason why it wouldn’t be growing back If it was ringworm wouldn’t the vet notice it. And you would think the vet would of noticed it was there when she shaved her leg The reason I suggested the UV light was to do a home-check to save you going back and there are pretty good ointments you can purchase at the chemists had it been ringworm

To save going to the vet (and he thinking you are a double numpty) buy a UV light and test for ringworm yourself, an Australian seller on ebay may have an el-cheapo A Wood's lamp is an ultraviolet light with a specific wavelength of light which causes some strains of M. canis (the most common feline ringworm species) to fluoresce. ... Some medications will fluoresce if they are on the hair coat, including doxycycline, Clavamox, and eye ointments.

Oh Perse so awfully sorry dear little green-eyed cat
