Mange too shit poor bubba Megaderm 20mls every day in her food, twice weekly baths with Malaseb, weekly invercectin infections After all this she will need some boosting. I also give my dogs recovering from bad worms or parvo etc Yakult, gives them good bacteria lol

Is this for your little white girl? I use what KitKat said for dogs and puppies recovering from KC etc 1 vitamin C tablet daily Apple vinegar in the water, 40mls per 2 litres Aloe Vera Juice 20ml in one feed per day I do this for 7 days

I have had over 70 Shar Pei through my house and never ever had one toilet on the floor. I had 5 week old Shar Pei pups that would cry to be let outside. They always go as far away from the house as they can, and they hate it when you look at them They would have to be the cleanest dogs I have ever meet ;) They will never toilet in a crate or in the kennels

Both my Shar Pei came from their breeders housetrained at 8 weeks, pei do not need to be housetrained ner ner Although, Otto, my Boston x Pug has just got the housetraining at 6 months, but will still go inside if it is raining and our Frenchie Charlies is 8 months and goes where ever she feels like it

Congratulations, I know how nice it is to get up in the morning and not have a nice smelly poo waiting for you Charlie did not poo last night either Maybe there was something in the air lol

My dogs are 4 and 3 and they still chew like pups Goodluck

Put a security door on a room in your house with a lockable cat flap, this is the cats safe room Allow the Dane to come inside and watch the cats moving around their room unmolested. She will eventually get used to them moving and the novelty will wear off Always have her on lead when the cats are in the rest of the house, better safe than sorry

What a change in her

Little steps are the best Goodluck and do not forget the food in your pockets lol

I find padding your pockets with treats works wonders Just sit in the laundry and read a book, do not touch him or look at him, just sit there with nice smelling things in your pockets Take everything slowely, treat him as you would an 8 week old pup, and as soon as he is confident with you get him some training and socilisation, it is crucial. Are you able to get a tape of people talking and dogs barking? play it soflty for him

When they lick ignore them, walk away, when they do not lick give them a treat

She sure is a pretty one, BMP Great job Vehs

you know the ones I mean :D I washed 6 wash and wear dogs today, took the same amount of time to wash I SWF without a groom :rolleyes:

Off Topic I know but Staffy x Pitty more likely Tank x Tank geez he is a wide boy lol

I like wash and wear dogs lol The short coat ones that you wash and towel dry

The best news I have had in weeks Glad Ollie is feeling better, give the spunk a hug

When she jumps up on you turn your back to her and ignore her

I am not saying that vet students do not have to learn you have all missed my point I think that if vet students are being paid by 6 pack to desex a pup, is something to think on LIKE where are the pups being desexed in a clinic or somewhere else I know when I pay a mechanic a six pack to fix my car he does it in my front yard Now do you all get it?

Where is this being done? Obviously Uni students do not have a clinic to use and if a 6 pack is the form of payment is a kitchen table to operating room I am not trying to start an argument here but it seems a bit slap happy and seems to be perfectly acceptable for rescue puppies to be desexed young but god forbid a purebreed puppy suffer the same fate. Rescue puppies are OK for Uni Students to learn on?

However, my rescues, cat and dog all get desexed - any age - when Ive been broke, I've been able to get 5th year uni students to do it for experience, and a six pack!! ALL rescues ought to be desexed - to stop some moron getting a cheap dog, and making more, or being too idle to desex and getting more. This is what I was remarking on

Doing desexing on very young pups that is? Sorry I was not more specific

Something to think of too, it is far too easy to become a registered breeder and not all registered breeders are great Look in the rescue thread at the 2 Cocker bitches dumped at a pound up here when they were past breeding age And Jed you would be surprised at the amount of calls I get from people who want a SWF rescue dog undesexed, they are cheap. I also think it is dangerous for apprentice vets to be doing desexing, that could cause huge problems Looks like there is no easy solution

Nup - the prevailing opinion seems to be "for the greater good" - it is acceptable for a percentage of dogs to suffer or die early, rather than have unwanted pups born. It is immaterial how much they suffer, or how young they die, because this is ALWAYS preferable to the CHANCE of producing puppies. Last week as I walked through the pound I had to leave pups behind because I had no-where to put them, they are going to die, all of them, now I am talking GD X Wolfhound,large breeds BECAUSE THE CHANCE THAT THEIR PARENTS REPRODUCED HAPPENED They are still suffering but they would not be if their purebreed parents were desexed before rehoming Puppies should be allowed to grow up before they are desexed but humans cannot be trusted to do the right thing

NSW has lifetime registration, microchipping but it is not working. Council Rangers never do a door knock to check if dogs are chipped or registered The Government does not care, it would cost too much money

Great post Jed but microchipping does nothing in NSW, because a) it is not policed properly and b) not many breeders take back their dogs
