  1. a little severe I think. maybe next time use magnoplasm, it works and is of less concern on the skin. I would rather poke a stick into my eye than put that on my dogs, it is irresponsible to do so edited to add a couple of explanatory links https://www.healthline.com/health/black-salve-cancer https://www.sciencealert.com/what-is-black-salve-and-can-it-cure-cancer
  2. I think, in Zena's Mum's case, the citronella collar beats a kick up the bahoochie
  3. The BarkGuard starter kit works ok, I put it on Zara who barkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarkedbarked It's a citronella spray. I only kept it on a few hours each day for a couple of days, I then turned it upside-down so the spray went towards the ground, then I left it on whilst it was empty. Closer-to-the-ground dogs do have trouble going down steps as the reservoir bumps on the steps and it sprays so the collar needs to be taken off at 'go outside' times then put back on if that Lhasa apso is barking in the yard. Zara didn't mind the collar and was happy to put it on; it almost seemed that she wasn't required to bark as part of her doggie-duties...go figure edited to add; I don't want to sell Zara's bark collar but if you would like me to post it to you for the duration of your Lhasa apso minding I can post it off to you tomorrow and you could post it back to me when noisy-dog is finished being minded. Message me your address
  4. There will sure to be a local craft/sewing group near you WM (commonly called stitch and bitch clubs), maybe ask if they can make you some. and... where do you think you get off saying that you HAVE A NEW PUP and not posting photos and... A WESTIE AT THAT I can't believe you would do that!
  5. I will do the adding more water suggestion SD; seems pretty obvious doesn't it! she gets vegie-slops with her meat anyway so I'll just extra-slop them I have bought two VAN products to add to her dinner: Vets All Natural Complete Mix Adult/Senior Vets All Natural Health Booster I'm still searching for cranberry powder/extract...I wonder if this will be a substitute? (it came up in the Country park search-box when I typed in 'cranberry') https://countrypark.com.au/product/bearberry-leaf/
  6. I had phoned Vets all Natural and the chappy on the phone read out the pertinent points in one of Bruce Syme's articles on bladder stones; vitamin C and cranberry extract was suggested. I have searched on-line and keep finding opposing views which is annoying, here is one https://www.preventivevet.com/cats/cranberry-and-your-pets-urinary-health and some pro here https://ultimatehomelife.com/can-dogs-eat-cranberries/ I don't know about the dried cranberries (from Aldi or supermarket) but I have been hesitant in case they have been preserved/dried using sulphur dioxide
  7. Also; where, in Australia, can I buy animal grade cranberry extract or powder at an extra-reasonable price
  8. Dandie-Zara developed a UTI and was found to have tiny struvite crystals in her urine, she also had a bacterial infection. AB's and Urimav were prescribed, UTI cleared, pH showed around 6.25-6.5, it was advised that she stay on the Urimav. I normally feed raw but do add a small amount of kibble to make sure she is getting a more varied intake of vitamins and minerals. It seems from my searches that lower protein my be helpful so my question is...do any DOLers know of a low protein/grain/rice free kibble that is available? I am not particulary interested in the 'sciency-types' of diets as they appear to be (in some cases) a bit of a con. Thanks
  9. Yes...good news. here is a copy and paste Dogs Outside The Ring shared an album. 5 mins ยท +8 Redding Police Department added 11 new photos to the album: Dogs Rescued From Recovered Stolen Vehicle.Like Page 3 hrs Quick update on the rescued dogs. All of the dogs taken in the stolen van have been recovered. They were located in a remote, wooded area south of Redding. The van was parked in direct sun, locked up tight. Officers broke a window to gain access to the dogs who were all barking and eager to be rescued. Haven Humane Society was on scene quickly and immediately began caring for the dogs. They were taken to Haven Humane to receive veterinary services, food, water, and loves. The dogs had high heart rates from heat and stress, were thirsty, hungry, and in need of affection, but were otherwise fine. Haven Humane Society did a great job caring for the dogs and they are awaiting arrival of their respective owners. A full press release will be issued later today.

  11. yeah-well... didn't think that through! I was more interested in the bossy little Norfolk terrier
  12. Sorry...can't seem to embed the video https://www.rover.com/blog/this-tiny-terrier-leads-foxhound-pack-like-a-boss-every-day-video/
  13. Can you message DOL member Julie (MDBA) to ask her...I can't access the list of members. It sounds like B/S to me

  15. No, that's a definite NO I asked Penny's vet the same thing as the tooth was pretty loose, the vet also checked and cleaned Penny's teeth. edited to add...stop worrying and just do it; yes it is going to cost you but it's honestly worth it for the peace of mind (and your dog's teeth)
  16. Yes, it does need to come out. I thought the same when Penny had a loose tooth...vet said 'out it comes, it is hurting her' so get it removed (and yes, I know it costs but it's just something we have to do)
  17. This was on the Westie FB page Animal Wellness 21 hrs Hello lovely Animal Wellness supporters. I'm one of the vet nurses with a note for residents in postcode 4170 - pls be aware 2 homes in Dorothea St, Cannon Hill have had dog baits thrown into their yards. The baits are ball shaped, wrapped in like a mesh or stocking and inside looks like bean bag beans. The baits contain strychnine. A highly toxic poison that kills in 20 mins. Pls check your yards and keep on eye on anything your dog seems to be chewing. I have sent an email to local vet clinics today. Will put a post up at Richmond Rd dog park soon. These people generally move on in a few weeks. Its a very sad thing. Pls be diligent. and... Animal Wellness 18 hrs Following on from my earlier post re: dog baits in 4170. OMG. This is horrific. I've been busy all night with private messages. Someone walking their dog inDorothea St, Cannon Hill found 3 dead birds. A number of messages regarding break & entering on homes and residents finding the bean bag balls on their deck, in their yard, etc. It seems to be an organised crime. It appears the grubs are baiting dogs, killing them in 20 mins then break & entering homes. 97.3Fm and 4KQ have asked for interviews on morning radio tomorrow to alert Brisbane residents. The local police have asked for an interview and information from residents affected. Absolutely sick circumstances. Lets hope the post on Animal Wellness can get out there and protect our furry friends and catch these people.
  18. Read this link from Dogs NSW as it will help. and... Talk to your vet! http://dogsnsw.org.au/resources/dogs-nsw-magazine/articles/health/171-vaccination.html
