yes Perse, I have been checking my old herbal books, the Vit C and vegetables including some raw (soaked) rolled grains help to lower (so they say) blood temperature which helps. I will suggest infused calendula, neem leaves and chickweed as a topical wash, these links appear to have the most economical items https://www.australherbs.com.au/shop/item/chickweed-herb https://www.australherbs.com.au/shop/item/neem-leaf-organic https://countrypark.com.au/product/calendula-petals/ A pity there doesn't appear to be a veterinary solution available

naaaa, it didn't work, no piccie to be seen

I have been looking up articles on fungal skin problems in dogs (not my dogs) and came across this info which was interesting. Can anyone here suggest veterinary treatments that work, FACTS & MYTHS about YEAST DERMATITIS in DOGS has anyone treated their dog with the medications mentioned in this second link Malassezia Dermatitis (there is heaps of info out there but so much of it is b/s)

I am sorry BJ, what a lovely boy. You will miss hugging all that squishiness

You will miss him so much, what a lovely little dog, he looks so full of piss and vinegar, such a cheeky face. I am sorry he's no longer with you, you must love him so much

(ABC News: Ashleigh Stevenson) Related Story: Dog gets salon treatment as Townsville shopping centre becomes makeshift refuge Related Story: Double trouble for Tassie devils battling second transmissible cancer Related Story: 'The wind blew him over': Inside the world of dog dementia A beloved family dog who was given three months to live after being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer is still living years later, after taking part in a Queensland clinical trial. Key points: Rottweiler Griffin's tumours were growing at a rapid rate Undergoes treatment that uses part of a tumour to create bespoke vaccine UQ researchers looking for more dogs to prove the vaccine works to send cancer into remission Adam Johnson noticed a lump on his dog Griffin's back in December 2017. "I thought we'd take him for a routine check," Mr Johnson said. "It didn't seem like anything untoward, I just thought it would be medication and 'he'll be right' sort of thing. "A few days later we found out it was a cancerous lump. "It was devastating, absolutely devastating right before Christmas." Photo: Griffin's owner Adam Johnson and daughter Layla. (ABC News: Ashleigh Stevenson) The rottweiler was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma and given three months to live. Veterinarian and University of Queensland PhD candidate Dr Annika Oksa said that type of cancer was usually a death sentence for dogs. "He had a really big lump taken off his side but by the time he went back to have his stitches removed from the original surgery, he had another three lumps, so they were growing really quickly," Dr Oksa said. Rather than the more traditional route of chemotherapy, Griffin was enrolled in a medical trial using immunotherapy treatment, designed to "wake up" the dog's own immune system so it recognised a foreign cancer. "I took a sample from his tumour, at the time when I saw him he had 11 lumps on him," Dr Oksa said. Photo: Dr Annika Oksa was giving Griffin weekly injections during the treatment. (ABC News: Ashleigh Stevenson) Once a dog was diagnosed with the cancer, the trial's researchers removed a small piece of the tumour and mixed it with a chemical to bolster the dog's immune response. This was then injected back into the dog as a vaccine, each week for a number of weeks or months. "With this one we make it specifically from the dog's own tumour," Dr Oksa said. "So it's very, very personalised and then we hope that the dog's own immune system will recognise the cancer and start fighting it." Photo: UQ researchers say they need more dogs to conduct the trials. (ABC News: Ashleigh Stevenson) Mr Johnson said as the weeks of treatment progressed, he was surprised by the results. "One by one, the cancerous legions began to disappear to the point where two years on we've still got him here," Mr Johnson said. "At that point in time it felt like a Hail Mary. "My little girl has still got her dog." Dr Oksa said researchers were encouraged by the results. "Eventually at about week eight or so, when it came time to have a look at him again there were no lumps. That was fantastic," she said. "Griffin is really rare because he had such a bad disease. "We've had a number of dogs respond to this treatment and do really well but they were ones we'd hope would respond. With Griffin it was a surprise. "We're hoping that this will be a way forward to include in the treatment protocol for these dogs. "We need to have more dogs in the trials obviously, so we have more evidence. "So at the same time we're researching what happens to the tumours, how do they respond to the vaccine — can we make any changes to it? Or combine it with different treatments." Scientists hope to expand the research into human trials for similar cancers in years to come. Topics: animals, human-interest, diseases-and-disorders, cancer, qld Contact Ashleigh Stevenson

Lovely photos KTB, you should feel proud you have found excellent homes for them Thanks for posting and I would put my hand up for Esme in a flash if she had sticking-up ears and tail

It's such good news she is now home, you must have been so worried. I hope she continues to get better every day

hummm perhaps a precocious Westie has had his way with a Husky girl, those are the most disconcerting eyes

Hi Leon, you haven't been a DOL member for long so it's important for you to understand that the members here are passionate about dogs and their welfare. You said in your post that you had the pup for one day, that it had parvo and asked if it'd be ok to ask the breeder to pay for her vet bill, you received quite a few suggestions, some which were not tactful. You appeared, (from reading your first post), to be floundering in what to do, but from your subsequent posts it seems that you have the problem under control, so your comments about the suggestions made by members here are a unwarranted. You are welcome here but keep in mind that it's not facebook and that DOLers will not put up with drama-lamas when the main concern is the dog so please don't try to make us feel bad because some posters offended you. We do care about your little pup, there is realms of info to be had from DOLers so ask questions but don't get confrontational with members

You have the stutters this morning @sandgrubber

How is the little dog going @Stitch?

I saw that Perse, what a good idea, I bet that little terrier is taking the stick from the box rather than putting it back

The clue is in the title @sheena

@Bexrose try Susie, she owns Animal Ark Transport link to her FB page Here

Maybe not T, if you Google 'Rottweiler pups Quirindi NSW' a site pops up with heaps of piccies but it's unclear if they come with papers as they refer to some as being 'adopted' so perhaps they also rescue

O, what a lovely hairy dog. I am so sorry, you must miss her so much

I am so sorry Taliecat and; of course you heard him yawning

This was shared in the AUSTRALIAN Caravanning/Camping Travelling With Dogs FB page so I though it may be a plan to post here Link to Allbullz

just get rid of it, it kills heaps of good insects, use mozzie repellent and fly traps instead. This is copied from Google--> Traditional bug zappers will kill a large number of harmless insects. In fact, they may even kill a larger number of beneficial insects than harmful ones. Mosquitoes in particular are attracted to carbon dioxide (in your breath) and water vapour (in your sweat) rather than ultraviolet light from zappers

Does Jeune like warm scrambled eggs LMO? perhaps even garnished with a little grated cheese

Can you lightly squeeze a bulb? if you can what about using a battery hydrometer tester, Supercheap should have them hydrometer I think brew shops may also have similar

what about a baster? --->basters or push a piece of silicone aquarium hose (silicone is really soft) on to a hand-cream pumper bottle here or maybe an icing dispenser icing sets or a tomato sauce plastic bottle here

maybe those Wambaroo nipples with the hole made bigger, check out this link for a hundred different images as there may be one or two you can adapt here or something like this? here

Philadelphia Inquirer link here (there is a video) Former Philly cop had the only new breed — and wore the only hijab — at this year’s National Dog Show | We The People by Stephanie Farr, Updated: November 20, 2019 MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Meet Aliya Taylor, a former Philadelphia police officer who is a breeder, owner, and handler of Azawakh dogs. • Azawakh attitude: Before Taylor got her first Azawakh, people told her: “‘Don’t get those dogs, they’re crazy. They don’t like anyone. They’re very aloof. They’re very skittish,’" she said. “And I was like, ‘Well, that’s perfect. Sounds like me.’" • Liver best: In the ring, Taylor uses chicken liver to reward her pups. “It stinks up my house, but all the dogs love it," she said. When Aliya Taylor first walked into a dog show ring wearing a hijab, people mistook it for a costume. “They thought I was dressing up like this to showcase my breed,” she said. “No. This is me. This is a Tuesday.” Taylor, 47, a former Philly cop, is one of few Muslims in the dog show world. While the American Kennel Club does not keep stats, Taylor said she hasn’t encountered another Muslim woman in a hijab at a dog show in the Northeast. But she’d like to inspire more to enter the ring. On Nov. 16 and 17, Taylor, of Overbrook, introduced the only new breed at the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s National Dog Show this year, the Azawakh, a rare dog from West Africa. Since the show is recorded and airs nationally on NBC on Thanksgiving Day, results are kept under wraps until the broadcast. But prior to the event, Taylor said she hoped to get a chance to introduce the Azawakh to a wider audience. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Aliya Taylor plays with Bahir, one of five of her Azawakh dogs she entered in the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's National Dog Show. “It would be a dream come true to have my dogs be in the hound group and be represented,” she said. “It would be the culmination of 10 years of blood, sweat, and tears.” Taylor grew up in Overbrook and often brought home injured animals as a child. “I could always relate to them,” she said. “Animals always seemed to be friendly and I could always sit down and talk to them.” Taylor’s mother bred and exhibited boxers. When Taylor was a child, her parents got her a miniature schnauzer that she exhibited at practice shows. But then, life happened and the dog shows stopped. Taylor moved to South Carolina, where she worked as a prison guard. When she came back to Philly, Taylor joined the Philadelphia Police Academy at the age of 27. She was among the oldest recruits in her class. Throughout her 19-year career, Taylor worked patrol in South Philly. The most difficult calls for her were domestic disturbances cases, particularly those involving Muslim women. “I had a unique perspective because I am Muslim, so I would try to advise them the best way to get out of an abusive situation,” she said. LAUREN SCHNEIDERMAN Aliya Taylor, is a breeder, owner, and handler of Azawakh dogs. She owns six Azawakhs and one Saluki. Around 2006, Taylor got back into the dog show world with a standard poodle and wore her hijab while showing the dog, which got her “quite a few looks." “I said, ‘I’m going to be myself and this is how I am. You can either take it or leave it,’ " she said. “And people loved it.” But what did her law enforcement colleagues think about her pup passion? “They thought I was nuts, but I didn’t care," she said. Eventually, Taylor got her first Azawakh, a dog she’d always found beautiful. She now owns six Azawakhs and one saluki, a breed of hunting hound. Azawakhs are native to Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, and though ancient, they are rare. Only about 300 are estimated to be in the United States and about 1,600 are estimated worldwide outside of their countries of origin, where records are not kept, according to the American Azawakh Association. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Aliya Taylor shows off Bahir, an Azawakh, as National Dog Show spokesman Steve Griffith speaks during a press event at the Tru Hotel by Hilton in Audobon for the Kennel Club of Philadelphia's National Dog Show. The only dogs taller than they are long, Azawakh frames are so lanky, their skeletons are clearly visible underneath their skin. With strangers, these dogs can be distant, but they’re fiercely loyal to their owners. Though they’ve appeared in dog shows before, Azawakh were relegated to the miscellaneous category, a catch-all for breeds not qualified in one of the seven major groups, Taylor said. This year, the American Kennel Club sanctioned the Azawakh, a sighthound, to participate in the hound group for the first time. Taylor entered five of her Azawakh in the National Dog Show and because nobody else entered any, she’s guaranteed to win best in breed. She thinks her male named Bahir (a.k.a. “Stinky Butt,” a.k.a. “Boo Boo”) has the best chance. MONICA HERNDON / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Bahir, an Azawakh, gets a treat from Aliya Taylor. In the ring, Taylor uses chicken liver to reward her dogs. In 2018, Taylor, a mother of three, left policing after suffering a herniated disc, and then, a stroke. She now devotes herself to breeding and showing dogs. She also makes custom collars under the name Mother of Hounds. Taylor hopes more Muslims will consider becoming dog owners. While she said there’s a belief by some Muslims that dogs are unclean, she and many other Muslims disagree. “They have helped us live, they have helped us hunt, and they have been our companions for millennia,” she said. “I could never imagine anything so devoted to a human being as being unclean.”
