  1. Glad he is feeling much better, you will be relieved (and probably have an excellent sleep tonight!)
  2. 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.

  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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/
  7. 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!
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. I am so sorry DDD, such a beautiful little soul. How lucky she was to have your for her last months.
  11. O Rascal, she is so unhappy and confused now isn't she? You will know what is the best thing to do. Poor you and poor little dog
  12. I have bought from them and they are excellent, one of the better companies. Give them a ring and they will certainly sort it for you
  13. There is one in the classifieds, in Southern Highland https://www.dogzonline.com.au/classifieds/forsale.asp?cat=2
  14. Yes, of course you can keep them, there is sure to be a tiny small-pawed dog that would be embarrassed like pink boots
  15. Marg, Vet and Pet Direct have free shipping for orders over $50 and under 3kg so it may be worth your while to have a look. FREE SHIPPING extended until Midnight Tonight! http://mailchi.mp/vetnpetdirect/christmas-has-come-early-with-free-shipping-4-days-only-starts-now-99439?e=1a4e1210c7
  16. or barking and barking and barking and barking and barking and barking and barking at my OH sigh...
  17. I added home made low fat/no sugar yoghurt Stitch as well as some of the innards of the probiotic capsules, made very little difference. I had bought a 15kg carton of the stuff so the farts were on-going for quite a few weeks the trouble was that Henry did really well on it, he was lovely and slim and happy. The veal with bone seems to be satisfactory, he is slowly losing the weight he put on with the BARF and Country BARF, he was getting really a chunkie-fatbum; not a good thing with his arthritus

    Mac

    I went hunting on page 2, 3 and 4 to post that we hadn't forgotten your darling Mac WM, it took me until today to find it (on page 1 where you had posted) Well, we haven't forgotten your lovely boy. It breaks your heart all over again but don't be too sad, he will have my lot and the little red Danny as besties...what a gang of varminty little ferals they will be.
  19. Well that may just be difficult if Eddie has his say
  20. hahaha, I see what you mean PK, I reckon the testimonial from Alick Beggs of Reedy Creek is in the wrong place, it should be in the farming section not the animal health section http://www.nutri-tech.com.au/animal-health
  21. I bought this product ages back and sometimes use it to give the dogs a boost, I used to give it to Penny and Mac once a week, as they were old so it was probably helpful. You can give it to cats and birds as well. https://shop.nutri-tech.com.au/products/pet-saver
