I can stomach just about anything, but lately I've been getting chicken carcass, complete with heads and legs, not very well boned and packed with meat. Does anyone know if the head and feet good or bad ? for the dogs. Is there any nutritional value in them ?

Is she cutting her canines at the moment ? I have found that east/west feet and also being down in pastern go hand in hand with teething. I believe it to be a natural process, along with the ears dropping while they teeth too. I have both treated and not treated puppies with vit c and have found that their front begin to straigthen and correct themselves as they finish teething. I am wondering if we feed our dogs a balanced diet during teething and not feed them any C, if they don;t come together anyway.

Desex and a full dental at the same time. When he's recovered from the op and his mouth is no longer tender ( assuming that that may remove teeth ), he can have chicken wings, chicken necks and other raw meaty bones. Supervise while he eats them and take them off him if he stops chewing and hansn't finished.

Pinched nerve, see if you can get a hold of a greyhound muscle man.

Get her lean if not already. Have her looked at by a good Greyhound muscle man and have her xrayed.

Why not try The Fresh Meat Store. I have purchased from both and I'm currently using the Fresh Meat Store ( have been for some time now ) and the quality if way above the others.

My smallest Pug girl, powered through a lamb flap for her dinner tonight, she didn't finish that far behind the Pointer boys. You need to be giving your bachy's raw meaty bone, otherwise their jaws do not get any exercise and their teeth get covered in tartar

I don;t have BB's but I have brachy breeds. They eat dry, chicken wings, lamb flap, chicken necks, chicken carcass, lamb shanks, whole eggs, sardines, vegies... they eat just like any other dog

If bleach can kill parvo virus, then it's pretty safe to say that it would kill anything a possum could possibly have. Put it out in the hot sun for a day too and that will take care of it too

I'm comin round for Ollies tea tonight... wishing the old Doofas a speedy recovery and the strength to fight a few more battles

Sarah will always have a special place in my heart. I just wish she could have been with me longer.

It's been a long year since Sarah Stafford went to The Bridge. I still miss you every day, my pretty girl. Rest easy and keep us safe in 2008

Remember the good times and the bad hair days ... Sweet dreams old man Paula, we send our love and hugs to you. You gave him a good life , lots of love and the odd bad hair cut

Are you yelling ? or have you just forgotten that the caps lock is on... If you are yelling, I don't see anyone else in the thread doing it

C3 $27.50 chip $35 at the vets, that includes a thorough going over of the pups Chip from friends $25

I've been using The Fresh Meat Store for quite a while now, the quality of the meat has been excellent as has the service. My guys are fussy when it comes to fresh meat and I have no worries with what I order.

Put several water bowls about the house and the yard and forget about the milk. You are just pandering to the puppy and creating a fussy puppy. Puppies do not need any puppy milk or puppy porridge.

I've done both and you will never get me out of the salon again either. Each to their own and there's certainly a place for mobile groomers. As for the Tafe course, I've not seen one person who's done that course, come out with a skill level that would see them able to work alone and do a good job. Training in a salon , with a top groomer, is the only way to learn. Tafe might be able to teach you how to do the books but that's about it.

Stop the grazing and put food down for him twice a day. I like to keep my Grey on the leaner side. I feed him a cup and a half of dry for breakfast, with a small amount of ckicken mince in it and for tea he has, two chicken wings and a piece of lamb flap. If his coat looks good and he's active and happy, then I wouldn;t worry at all about his weight.

Chuck the weekbix out the window or eat it yourself for breakfast and just swap it for some dry of a morning, until you are ready to start BARF with him. It has been said that weetbix has no nutritional value and that is correct, it means that he is missing out on essential vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, every meal that he has of it.

I had no idea that Colin was right near mum and dad. I'll be sending them down there and also getting them to pick up some new one's for me too Thanks for reminding me about him :rolleyes:

I'm so sorry it came to this. It's a heart breaking decision to make. Sweet dreams Storm

Does anyone know of someone reliable that I can post a couple of pairs of scissors too for sharpening ? Cheers

When it happened I was convinced that I needed to rush of to the vet and xray. I called the vet and he said he'd xray the next day if no improvement. Glad I waited as he didn't need it. I can see how people would think it's broken, it's a strange thing and frightening

I started anit-imflamatories within a couple of hours. I don;t know if they have really helped or if it's just getting better on it's own, but there was a huge change over night and by this evening he could use it. It is still taking something quite exciting to get him to point and straighten it but it is much improved. It frightened the hell out of me too, with only a couple of weeks until we start showig again. Poodle Mum, there's a link to it a little further back.
