Uber do Pet Taxis here in NSW. Maybe the same in ACT.

Agree with Powerlegs. That looks nasty and needs treatment asap. The scratching must be driving her crazy and making it worse.

And claiming to have papers for them like pedigrees. When they say they have some type of exotic mix with a stupid made up breed name they always say "oh they have papers" . I always say back "Oh you mean you've got a receipt of purchase" As for getting a Groodle why wouldn't you get a Standard Poodle.

It was actually a nice looking dog. Looked like an OES puppy except it was black and white. That's why I asked what breed it was.

And it was a big pup. The new people moving into my area are total Wanna Be's. No idea about dogs or the status quo of the area.

We have a couple of Bordoodles around here (Border CollieX Poodle). This morning I met a new variety called a Sheepoodle . It's a OES X Poodle. I asked the owners what breed it was and they said "Sheepoodle". Anyone else seen a Sheepoodle?

That's good news! Hoping he continues to improve.

Thanks Kazm. I wondered if he might have pancreatitis because of the lethargy and vomiting. Mini's are very prone to pancreatitis. However that doesn't explain the limping etc. Did he run into a wall or another dog where he might have hurt his shoulder? There could be more than 1 thing going on making it hard to diagnose.

@Kazm Did they do bloods for Astro?

Is his coat dull and flat?

Can your friend go direct to the Specialist.

When one of my Giants had Osteosarcoma the Vet gave him Tramadol which seemed to help with the pain.

I thought the dog may had a focal seizure because of the noise. The hyperactivity that followed could describe post ictal behaviour.

I note the the 2 facilities named in both articles are in Sydney Elite Performance K9 and Elite K9 Resort at Nerang. Wonder if they are connected.

A lot of Vets in Sydney have now started charging a $35 fee for scripts .

And you won't have to worry about Pyometra.
