  1. 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
  2. Yes...good news. here is a copy and paste Dogs Outside The Ring shared an album. 5 mins · +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.

  4. yeah-well... didn't think that through! I was more interested in the bossy little Norfolk terrier
  5. 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/
  6. 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

  8. 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)
  9. 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)
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. I see your point W&H, I should have written to introduce yourself and ask when it would be a good time to phone and have a chat about buying a pup and where would be a good time to talk to breeders
  13. When I said goodbye to my Saffy she wasn't given sedation beforehand, she was there in my arms then she wasn't, it was so gentle. I was so grateful to the vet who talked to her all the time.
  14. Synovan is an improved version of Pentosan (which Henry used to get) Synovan is a combination of Pentosan and chondroitin. It seems to be working as he is much more limber and now runs up and down the driveway after his ball, he also does zoomies after a poo
  15. Like CHA says...has he been chewing on a splintery stick or some cactus?
  16. Poor you Percybud, it's obvious you are really worried about your dog...you keep stuttering with your double posts ...understandable in the circumstances. Let us know the outcome after your vet visit
  17. Yes, sedation will be the 'go' it may be that there is something in his mouth that is causing the problem and your vet can have a really good look without the risk of having his fingers removed
  18. I will copy and paste my previous post here as Percybud has posted twice Another vet visit seems to be required asap Percy, I feel that sedation may be the only option to find the problem. It sounds rather like an abscess, did the vet have a really good look in his mouth for anything stuck...does your dog have a stinking breath?
  19. Henry gets a Synovan injection each month as well as 1/2 tsp Pernease each day. The Synovan is once a week for 4 weeks then monthly (or 3 monthly depending on the dog) it works quite well though I did find that the Pernease helped after I began giving it to him. Strangely he has become more flexible since it has become cooler, so go figure I pay around $23 each month for the injection https://www.ceva.com.au/Products/Products-list/SYNOVAN-Injection-for-Dogs
