I think Warley suggested for me to do that a while ago. I actually have a folder with the NSW one and other BSL stuff in it with highlighted bits for easy reference. Its a good idea.

I have only recently (since March) started this with max. We went to see Steve as well and got a prong from him to use with max. I too was like you and wanted him to walk beside me and everytime he passed me I would turn around. I have since been letting him pass me and have found that he doesnt pull when he gets to the end of the lead. But I will say that I cant walk him with any of the others yet as it just becomes a pulling contest. Hubby goes one way and I go another and we meet along the main road and walk back together which seems fine. Just cant start off together. majorly: :rolleyes: my hubby done this with Jeep one night. The thing is Jeep hates cats and seen one as he was pulling hubby down the road. So Jeep does a 9O degree turn up onto the grass and hubby went flying as he hit the gutter. Funniest thing Ive ever seen.

What about Satinballs. I have heard that they are great for putting on weight fast until they can get a proper diet sorted out. But not sure how this would react with his diabetes??? Maybe someone else might know.

Hi Jimmy I too have a dog that pulls like mad on lead. I have been to visit Steve from K9 force (also a member of DOL) and with the use of a special collar and training advice I can now walk Max without him pulling (I can actually hold the lead with 1 finger). Although we are still only in the early stages it is so much more pleasurable to walk him. I dont know where you are situated, but maybe you need to see someone about it as soon as possible to nip it in the bud now. Good luck

If you are that worried I would suggest you take her to the vet immediately.

he he its pretty gross huh...Max does this on the odd occasion. He is the only one to do it too. Dont have any suggestions other than what Rexy said. Pick the bowls up after they have finished.

am looking forward to updates. mel

Ok but does it work quicker orally or intra muscular???

Thanx guys will grab some of that.

Just curious where do you buy this injectible vit c? Is it only from your vet? How do you store it??? How long can it be stored for??? Is it injected under the skin or in the muscle or via the mouth???? Just thought this might be a good idea to keep some handy that way i could use it till i could get to my vet. Mel

OMG D I dont look in here (upsets me too much), but something just made me look at this one and had a really awful feeling in my stomach that it was you. RIP Cassie Sending some your way. Gawd cant stop crying, was only out there the other week.

Oh D cant believe the little bugga has mange, the poor thing after fighting parvo and KC and now this. She is one little fighter this girl. Mel

I agree with the replies you have got. I have 4 restricted breed dogs that, by law, require an enclosure, adequate fencing etc. A really simple solution would be to put down my dogs, did I do that...no way. I went to great lengths to be able to scrape a few thousand $$$ so that I could comply with the law. I wasnt going the easy way out, never even crossed my mind. Heres a pic of my enclosure which didnt really cost me much at all (the avery was already there): gravel 1/2tonne = $16.50 4 bags cement = $25 steel mesh (2 sheets) = $80 chicken wire = free (courtesy of mum and dad) timber posts = free (courtesy of mum and dad) - if you live on property and could cut a few small trees down and hack of the bark horseshoe nails = $18 lock for door = $10 This is only the front of the enclosure and it runs about 10m in length, and is about 7ft high. It would'nt cost thousands to build something like this. Make the effort and build/errect something for them to be contained in while your not there. Mel

Yes me too. Please give us an update Mel

Hmmmm try coming home with 2 APBT and 2 Pitbulls....and yes it takes about 1/2 hour, but like yours I ignore them so they turn to each other and start being stupid, Im still waiting to come home and be bowled over with high heels on!!!!! Sorry by my above response Im too in awe of a reply. Dont you just love bull breeds!!!!! Mel

That is great news Pampa. Mel

That was a beautiful tribute..hugs to you and your family Chris. Run free Brax. Mel

Im so sorry Pampa, I had no idea that your little girl was so sick. I too cant offer much help except that I will be thinking of you guys, and hope your little girl gets better soon. Hugs to you all over there from me and the furkids over here. Mel

Glad to see Hobbes is doing ok. Mel

Exactly, i always check any pouches of dead animals incase of this as my mum rears injured wildlife and told me to always check. At the moment she has a baby wombat (actually he is 300gms) and four baby roos in a compound who were from the mothers been run over. But there is no way id pick up any dead animal on the side of the road that stinks to high heaven and put it in my car to take home for the dogs.

I didnt know you brax but i have heard and seen all the beautiful stories and pics and just wish i could of met such a proud and beautiful pitbull, what i would give to of met you in person and to give you a big hug. R.I P. BRAX

Sorry, must of missed BD4E post..so i guess its in the muscle

Can i ask, how is it administered with the needle..is it under the skin or into the muscle?

Sorry to hijack this thread, Westie those links were great, i have been reading up on clicker training and sounds really good. Does anybody know where i can purchase a clicker from (sorry if this is a dumb ?) Thanx Mel

Hi persephone, When Jeep was little we took him down to my parents property and he was covered in ticks (not paralysis) we just pulled most of them off with tweezers, but keep checking even a few days later, cause we were still pulling them off him. They were a lot bigger by then and easier to find and he didnt get sick from them. Everytime we go to visit my parents i dose my dogs up on frontline plus a day or two before we go down. But please keep checking for them.
