It seemed (from some of the symptoms only) that Daisy may have had reverse sneezing, it was much worse on hot days or after exercise. my canny vet reckoned it was not and treated her for nasal mites...that is what it was! So make sure it is reverse sneezing rather than nasal mites (Google nasal mites 'images' )

Maybe some DOLers will be able to enlighten me on whether this is true. This arrived in my inbox via a petition site. I have deleted any links to the petition as well as the photo so I suggest you do your own searching if you want to explore it further. The body of the email is: In recent years a spotlight has been shone on the unethical and inhumane treatment of small animals in Australian breeding and impoundment facilities, and several groups have lobbied Government to implement successful change, including the continued fight to eradicate puppy mills, and the reduction of inhumane treatment and euthanasia in council holding facilities. We are heading in the right direction, but unfortunately there are still facilities whom "drag the chain" so to speak. One such facility that has borne witness to a horrific sight this week is the Cowra Council Pound adjacent to the refuse and recycle centre at Cowra. On Wednesday 27th May 2015, two people attended the Cowra Council Holding facility and witnessed a dead Kelpie Dog laying within a pool of its own blood and soaking wet, held within the same holding pen as an underweight fawn dog. Other dogs were held within their own confines and had no bedding, excrement adjacent to empty food bowls, and small bowls with little water held. There were also empty dog food cans contained within the cages, indicating the food was served directly out of the cans. I have started this petition to make Cowra Council accountable for the treatment of the animals impounded within, past present and future, and my hope is to secure support for positive change. I want the supply of adequate off concrete bedding, regular cleaning, appropriate watering and feeding facilities and the abolition of in can feeding, the review of employee animals on site, as well as the security of pens at the facility. A huge thank you to Mandy Hartles whom has uncovered these findings,

Arthritic Collie/whippet Cross Help Please
Boronia replied to Boronia's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
could you advise me on what kind of therapist SAS? (obviously won't be a psychotherapist :)) -
Friends of mine are in the UK at the moment, Shropshire I think. I received an email from them this morning asking for suggestions so I am asking here (where else!) Here is their question: Need advice for friends who have an arthritic collie/whippet cross called Haggis.He has some muscle wastage, legs splaying a bit, and he is on ' metacam; treatment. He can walk for shortish distances, but has difficulty manoeuvring at times. He seems content enough, and not in obvious distress.Do you have any advice for home based physio etc? So if any DOLer can help I will pass on the suggestions. Thanks.

Crystal Jones | 8th May 2015 2:46 PM A DOG owner is warning others to be vigilant after some kinetic sand almost cost the life of her beloved dog, Molly. Molly had to undergo surgery after eating some kinetic sand. Kinetic sand, which contains a bonding agent to make the sand stick to itself, has become a popular toy and is widely available in stores and online. Belinda O'Shea said she kept her five-year-old son Archie's kinetic sand in a sealed container and hadn't expected that while they were out, nine-year-old Molly would get into the tub and eat its contents. Molly recovering in vet hospital. But one day the family arrived home to find Molly, a staffordshire terrier, had done just that. At first seeming fine, it was only when the much-loved pet had gone off her food and started vomiting that the family realised something wasn't right. "An x-ray found her intestines were blocked up with something, so then they left her there overnight on the drip" she said. "Whatever was in her wasn't coming out." Mrs O'Shea said her vet figured out the properties of the kinetic sand were causing it to reshape every time Molly's body tried to remove it, meaning the pooch would have to undergo emergency surgery. "They basically had to squeeze it out of her intestines," she said. While Mrs O'Shea, from Melbourne, had to part with $3000 to save her pet's life, her biggest concern was raising awareness about the dangers of kinetic sand. "Dogs do silly things but I want people to know to be really careful," she said. "I just want people to be really careful if their dogs get into it and to get them to a vet if they do, or keep it away from them." Mrs O'Shea said she had contacted the makers of the kinetic sand to warn them about what had happened. "I emailed the company and let them know and they said they'd possibly look at changing the warnings," she said. Mrs O'Shea's vet Bob Cavey, from Ultmate vet Clinic in Narre Warren, said though he'd seen items including knitting needles and plumbing pipes in dogs' bellies before he'd never encountered anything like the kinetic sand. "I've been doing this for 25 years and I've never seen this," he said. "The stomach just can't push it through. "I had to milk the stomach and push the kinetic sand through, it took about two hours." Mr Cavey said Molly had lost a lot of weight over a couple of days and her body had started to shut down. "This dog that ate it lost a lot of weight over a few days," he said. Mr Cavey said dog owners should be vigilant, and parents too. "If it's blocked up a dog then you'd have to watch your children very carefully that they're not ingesting any of it," he said. Mrs O'Shea and her son Archie have thrown out their kinetic sand and won't be buying more any time soon.
