On at The Cat and Fiddle Hotel, Balmain, March 14th - 24th. An entertaining piece by Australia playwright, CJ Johnson - presented by Insomniac Theatre. "... 4 actors play a total of 12 dogs - the cute, the not so cute and the frankly dangerous..."

Hmmmm.... yep, quite a few of these "signs" seem familiar...

True and so true. I think a lot of JRTs and JRTXs are bought at pet shops and other less than reputable sellers by people who have little or no idea what they're letting themselves in for. Gorgeous pics mish13!

I often wonder about the usefulness of such "lists". I'm not a statistician, but surely there are a number of variables that need to be taken into account when stating that a particular breed of dog is "fast becoming one of New South Wales most dangerous dogs" and other such ludicrous claims, or that more dog attacks happen in one council area than another. You can't come to such conclusions from just a register of incidents which are (probably - I may of course be wrong here) no more than vaguely described and are not put into any meaningful context. One factor I'd hope would be taken into account is percentages of each breed listed within the overall dog population. The Staffy is a pretty popular breed, as is the JRT I would say (not exactly impartial myself re the latter). If there are more of them, then yes, they may represent a higher percentage of dogs involved in incidents. Another is the population of dogs in any given area - in relation to which council areas have the highest recorded occurrences. Blacktown City is a very large council. And what exactly are they including as "attacks"? Is it actual serious aggressive attacks, or does it include the nipping and biting from an overexcitable mouthy young dog - which can sometimes cause damage, and may be mistaken for aggression, but is more about inadequate training and/or management, whatever the breed. Anyway, just a bit of a mid-week rant...

Bless you Dogmad for taking such loving care of the oldies. Rest easy Pippa.

Nothing useful to add to the advice - though I have an itchy dog as well at the moment, which is why I looked in - just wanted to say I love the photo on your first post. It's gorgeous!

I do know that dogs definitely can't have paracetamol - don't know about any others. There would also be the concern of conflicting with meds he'd been given for his ailment while at the vet. Sorry I can't suggest anything to help - I know it's very distressing to see loved ones (human or furry) in pain and feel powerless. Hope you're able to help him get a bit more comfortable. Sure you'll get some good advice on here.
