yes, how stupid is that 52% eeeek imagine what that'd do to a dog's kidneys

Thanks for that Tassie, it is the exact page I was looking for Guaranteed Analysis Crude Protein 28% (min) Crude Fat 18% (min) Crude Fibre 2% (max) Crude Ash 9% (max) Calcium (Ca) 2% (max) Phosphorous (P) 1.20% (max) Moisture 10% (max) ME 3750 Kcal/kg

Yes, photos are the go, copy them into unusual places on your computer that way they pop up when you're looking for something else, it's sad but lovely at the same time. I found a couple of photos of Penny and Mac the other day in a folder marked Garden Pest Info (subfolder 'Rats') Thinking of you and Jeune. Dog-oldness and cancer is the pits!

I looked on-line at this food and it appears to have 52% protein; is that rather high? I feed dry infrequently, it's usually when I have forgotten to get their frozen meat and vegie slops out of the freezer https://blackhawkpetcare.com/au/our-products/grain-free/tasmanian-sustainably-fished-salmon/ I can't seem to find the exact ingredients breakdown and fat% Zara has been treated for a bacterial infection in her urine and tiny struvite crystals were also present so I reckon I need to be careful with her diet. Henry is a piggy and puts on weight quickly so fat content is important

can you try Bravecto or Nexguard, one or three months coverage (depending on which one you get) in each chewy

does your pal Aizaz work in the insurance industry?

Ages back the vet put Penny, my old Westie on Zantac syrup for her sore tum, it wasn't overly cheap and I asked my doctor about it so he wrote me out a script for a 300ml bottle (my doctor has a dog, we talk about dogs) I can't remember what Penny's dosage was but it was a minuscule amount and would have lasted her 'till she was 45 but she passed away before even a smidgen of the contents was used. Anyway, perhaps get a script from your doctor Juice, as unfortunatel,y you can't buy it over the counter at a chemists, at least it'll save you some money

Yes, you do know: Saffy who had cancer in her sinus' was still cheerful until one evening, she had her tea and hopped up on the sofa, she sat there and then put her head down and just rested the tip of her nose on the cushions, it was obvious she had the most awful headache. I took her to the waterfront on the way to her vet the next morning, we walked along the beach and she barked at a bin-chicken and a really fat Cavalier, she had a good time. When we hopped in the car she put her nose on the seat again so then i was doubly sure. In my arms she gently went to a happier place as her favourite vet and nurse stuffed her full of liver treats. It just breaks your heart but it's the last good thing we can do for them.

and one more

Found them... we pulled the top part off an old stroller and Penny sat on her comfy cushion in the parcel-rack. We removed the handles and bolted on the handle of an old carpet sweeper

I think I found that old topic Ming and SM, I had posted in it but used photobucket so the photos have gone to photobucket heaven, I'll hunt up the photos of Penny's trolley and post

Henry in his Santa's Little Helper hat and and Zara in her Too-Big Santa hat

Glad he is feeling much better, you will be relieved (and probably have an excellent sleep tonight!)

Yay for Miss Squish in this 'Advertiser' link below She was Master Canine Rescuer of the Year in 2013 https://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/249601-congrats-6th-annual-m-d-b-a-award-winners/) This is the story http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/qui-just-one-of-three-bergamasco-dogs-in-sa/news-story/9a710765ea1f000db7963327e8990f06 SA News Qui just one of three bergamasco dogs in SA Mitch Mott, The Advertiser December 26, 2017 9:30pm IN years gone, the Bergamasco Shepherd was a sheep herding dog, growing Rasta-like dreadlocks to protect it from the icy conditions of the Italian Alps. Now after an exhaustive process, South Australia will become home to future generations of this rare and ancient breed. Qui shakes it off. Picture: Simon Cross Bergamasco breeder Heather Robey is expecting a litter of puppies at her Woodcroft property halfway through 2018. “There are only three bergamascos in South Australia,” Ms Robey said. “We recently imported one from Italy which was a pretty long process. It took 12 months to get Esta from the time she was born through quarantine before she got here. “It turned out to be three or four flights which is a lot for a young dog.” It’s hoped Qui will be part of breeding more bergamascos in SA. Picture: Simon Cross Esta will be used to kickstart breeding in South Australia, adding extra genetic diversity to a breed which numbers only in the thousands across the world. Qui, a three-year-old bergamasco was bought from New South Wales where there are other breeders. Bergamascos are a friendly breed which develop strong bonds with people, like they did with shepherds.

I changed from roo to veal-with-bone, they are doing ok on that (they still get their vegie-slops each day as well as some grain-free kibble once a week) henry did very well on the roo, the only reason I stopped was the extra-stinky farts

If I were you I'd take your dog to the vet asap, it also sounds like your dog has eaten something that has badly disagreed with her/him There is sure to be an emergency vet open if you are (hopefully) in Darwin

There is a PDF WordPress download when I searched for 'Available for download The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat' so it may be cheaper. I have her books here and they are the Doggie-Bible The Herbal Handbook For The Dog And Cat - WordPress.com

None in WA on Dogz older dogs pages Valmae but it may be worth contacting a couple that are in NSW to ask if they will fly their dog to you https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/mature/cavalier-king-charles-spaniel.asp edited to ask if you have considered a Tibbie? fantastic little dogs, maybe keep and eye on this page...https://www.facebook.com/tibbierescueaustralia/

She looks cross in that photo, you gave her BARF instead of her roast chicken didn't you? She is just lovely, what wonderful colours and obviously very smart!

Just a thought; is there any chance some nearby DOLer has a bitch with pups at the moment that they can use as a surrogate mum? or even contact rescues to find out if there is a lactating mum and pups in their care Edited to say: sorry RP, I didn't read your post correctly and now realise you had offered a much better and generous plan

it's school holidays in Qld Rozzie but OP is in Victoria. Hopefully the OP is having a lend of us and there is no 3 week pup at all

I am so sorry DDD, such a beautiful little soul. How lucky she was to have your for her last months.

Thank you NikNak
