Ivory & Beau

Cheers Rebanne. So it is possible for them to catch things from a DIY dog wash? Stupid me didn't do the rinse section first. But I did it after Badger was out at least. He's much better this morning after some a good dose of pawpaw cream then a manuka honey cream last night and some special booties.

Can't add photos at the moment as I can't remember how but my 10 year old English Pointer Badger has sore paws. One pad is raw. No idea what has happened. He hasn't been anywhere apart from a DIY dog wash a week ago. He's on week three of the monthly arthritis injections. He was just starting to perk up again and now he's so sore. Vet did a swab yesterday but it didn't come back with a whole lot but she suggested antibiotics, a paw balm and wash. I'm going in tomorrow to get the antibiotics. Washed paws with a weak betadine last night and put pawpaw cream on them, then put baby socks on him but he's eaten one sock over night Though he is walking better this morning. Could it just be a case of old man dry feet? He has always had dry paws but never this. Is there a good cream to apply? Good boots for him to wear? Would antibiotics be worth it?

They're giving out samples at the Perth Pet Expo this weekend. Ivy and I are going.

Awesome thanks for the reminder about sharae. I had forgotten about them. Just done a quote with them.

So we're looking at moving to NZ in the future and seeking the cost to have the dogs (Ivy and Badger) and a cat come with us. Have two insane quotes from Dogtainers and Jetpets. I've asked for quotes not including the vet treatment. And have the vet stuff done at my own vet. I have PM'd Wayrod but I'm not sure he's still an active member?

Microchips only recently became compulsory with council registration. So I never really thought about it.

Thanks everyone. NSW Companion Animals His chip was done by this company, by his breeder. I'm totally lost, so would he have never actually been registered? I'm a terrible owner, he's over 6 years of age and I'm only just realizing his chip isn't linked to me. Ivy's is.

I had Badgers microchip scanned recently when the vet was out for my horse as I had done a search of his chip awhile ago and nothing came up online. His chip scans with the same number on his papers but still doesn't appear online when I do a search. Should I get him done again?

I know a couple of people who use Black Hawk and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what has changed since it was taken over? I have read a few things online. Is it still good quality? Are the products still sourced in Australia?

Thanks everyone.

No, not liable - ranger said as much and neighbour admitted his dog put paw on your side of the fence. However - it's not what I'd want my dog to be doing - so I'd be blocking up the gap and bringing my dog inside if she barks at the fence or the neighbour's dog (or possum or cat). Ok if the cat or possum wakes me up while in my yard - I might do something different. The neighbour is at fault but I would not want my dog to be biting other dogs paws or fence fighting so I would prevent this. The gap was one section and it was over 1m off the ground but anyway there is now no gap at all. It's an 8ft high colorbond fence with limestone columns. She's never ever in 8 years done anything like this before and I wasn't there. She protects her yard and I feel safe with her and Badger warning with barks. I applied for a Release of Information for the rangers report and it arrived yesterday. So I just wanted to ensure that Ivy being on her own property etc. Thanks everyone. p.s - Our younger rescue Labrador become sick very quickly. Turns out she had pyo and we opted to pts due to the uncertain surgery costs. Worst decision I have had to make, then yesterday I had to have our 15 year old Labrador pts as his quality of life was nil. And I have had the Ivy issue hanging over my head. I couldn't imagine Ivy ever biting another dog

I do want advice but I'm not being understood correctly. I've had two dogs pts in two weeks and this issue with Ivy. Just over it right now. Ill try again tomorrow.

I've been misunderstood. Don't worry about it.

Rangers report stats their dog provoked my dog.

Wa

I'm not paying a cent to the wanker. He's a bully. Other neighbours have seen him with his dogs off lead running along our fence, stirring Ivy up. Their dog is fine, I saw him jogging with his rats the other day. Ivy was behind a secure fence! Even in his report to this he admitted his dog put its paw UNDER the fence.

Vet the dog was treated at is a complete rip off too.

Fence is a boundary one on corner with a planted garden on verge. 1m high brick under colourbond fence. All per regulations. Could keep in a fence jumper. I wasn't home when accident happened. Dog jumps up on brick wall and barks at Ivy. Ranger is not taking it further but neighbour wants his vet bill paid. for. These dogs are so annoying and bark constantly if left outside. Neighbour is a trouble maker. Eta .. we took it upon ourselves to cover up gap to keep their dogs out. Ranger was fine with the gap.

Long story short. Neighbours small toy size dog puts paw under our external fence (3inch gap). Ivy snaps at intruding and yapping dog. Apparently biting dogs paw. Neighbour reports a dog attack and sends me vet bill. Am I at fault?

Today I sadly purchased cat litter with a donation of the products profit going to RSPCA. Needed litter and they didn't have my normal one

How much were FBs before the current rage?

Not tried this brand but I do now buy aussie made, budget dry for two of my dogs. $27 for 20kg. It was too expensive feeding four big dogs super premium. They are easy doers. So I personally see no issue with this food if your dogs are easy feeders. I only buy super premium for Ivy and our old boy. Of course they all still get raw etc.

Our labs both would eat everyone elses dinner. My Pointer and Belgian would too. I've kept them both in perfect condition. Really isn't that hard. I cringe at obese labs. Our neighbors have an odese beagle. They say he gets fed less etc.

My friend recently flew her cats, birds and dog from Perth to Qld. They went on the same flight as her and it was a lot cheaper. Though still over $1000. She booked through Qantas Freight. Everything went smoothly. Happy to ask her more questions if you want me too :)

Didn't think it would be a good idea to vaccinate a dog with health problems full stop?
