ok good, i think I have some of that thanks all xo

What would be the best antiseptic please? I cant get anywhere until this evening when OH gets home.

One puncture is nearly in Hefs eye, far out he came close to loosing it...far out far out..

Ok so these boys are NEVEREVER running together again..worst dog fight ever, included with me getting bitten badly too... so both dogs (after i gently washed each dog to find wounds and see if they needed vet, luckily no) all wounds are punture wounds, what is the best stuff to put on them (an MINE) so they dont get infected? Worst ever dog fight, even after I got them separated one jumped and grabbed the others tail...and kept going, being big and prego didnt help me in getting them apart, water tub tipped on them, I had to prize jaws open still didnt work as they regrapped - ended up seperating them by putting each on either side of fence (waist height and then prizing open jaws. my god I am still shaking it has NEVEr been as vicious as this before, I seroisly thought they would kill eachother

Aww, Shoo I feel for you Can you use the GE money loan thing at this specialist (they saved my bacon) Keep ur chin up and will be watching thread xox

Shmoo, hope your little one is ok and soon back in your arms, thinking of you through this time xoxoxo

How is your little man? Whatever you decide it will be for him. Thinking of you

lol ellez! Great idea, i dont have any of those either though

Wow fox,look at your settup! Cool! I like the tummy sling idea My hubby is the onlyl one here to help me and he always huffs and puffs and 'are you done YET??' To strip the bums of the cairns I think it would be good so they cant spin and sit! lol

As per title...i have a grooming arm, but one of my dogs is a pain to groom anywhere behind his ribs

thanks all for your replies

oakaway, great response, very interesting. this is the sort of stuff I am interested to find out. Everyone is providing very interesting reading, I appriciate it!

Ok interesting, thanks for input guys

ok so you all know I went through Parvo etc... Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts on baby vaccination schedules Two or 3 vaccinations? What age is best? Anyone else got Parvo after puppy being vaccinated? Anyone use just Parvac? C3 or C5? my latest litter was vaccinated with C3 (a diff vet to the one I used with Hef ) at 8 weeks. Thanks all

When was this, I would have been intereseted in the handstripping, when is next years??

aww man dobie! I found this very explanitive article that you might like when trying to explain to people the diff (I am researching to understand shunts as we test for them in our breed ) http://clubs.akc.org/stca/liverShunt.htm#Ref2

Oooh poocow, a field spanial! NICE!!!

Is it a shunt that can be operated on? Hope he is ok

are they prone to PPS or liver shunt??

http://www.bachflowerpets.com/ Theres some great info here

I am loving the Ausflower remedy!! Even better!!

lol, fionac, after doing a search, I am just looking into the Ausflower remedys too. I had the BACH stuff that I bought for my 7 year old (didnt do much for him lol) and had an idea of using it for Hef about 10pm at night! lol went and got it out of the medicine cupboard too last night so Id remember. I will get some of the aus essense today as well and try that as I remeber my chemist sells it Im sooo pleased! Lovely stories guys!! Glad its helped you too

Mmm, may be just the thing, I gave some to Hef this morning and he is such a relaxed, mellow boy now. Might be exactly what he needs Anyone else use it?

speaking from experience.... I have kept all my crates from my Parvo episode but ther were all BLEACHE (straight and left wet to air dry) Then I washed them again with warm soapy water to rid the smell, and again a few days later. No problems here, I also keep diluted F10 in a spray bottle and every few days (when is nice and sunny) spray till wet and then air dry I AM over paranoid now but Parvo is somthing I NEVER - EVER want to see again!!!

What shampoos do you use/find the best to keep the coat nice a rough? I am always after trying new products I havnt used before. Currently I use a smidge of PP henna diluted in water, before that (passed on from an old school breeder) wool wash and teatree oil diluted. Whats a shampoo that you dont have to wait a week for the coat to seetle..drives me nuts!! lol
