I also keep Trazadone on hand for stressful vet visits etc. I give it to my dog an hour prior to consult appt.

When I saw the headline and Illawarra region mentioned I thought the poor dog in question would be a greyhound because of all the Greyhound trainers in that area.. But no it was a Bulldog. That poor, poor dog.

For the record I am not an LOL with a white fluffy. I have a lge breed pup weighing 40 kgs that will grow to 46-55kgs. I have had this breed for the last 20 odd years. The cattle dog has bitten my dogs before plus many other dogs in the park. It is a well known aggressor always off a leash so every one else in the park has to leash their dogs because the cattle dog owner doesn't even though it's the problem. I am an experienced and responsible large dog owner. The pup is a show dog dog and has been shown many times with no problems with other dogs in the show ring . He has been trained not to be boisterous. As stated previously the owner was on the phone with headphones on not even watching the cattle dog. That was the problem. In off leash parks the dogs still have to be under effective control. And again for the record all the parks around here are off leash. My pup has and will be allowed to interact with other dogs in the park just not with well known aggressors who attack other dogs.

For the 2nd morning in a row i have been walking my 1 yr old pup in my local park which is off leash. The pup is in training and leashed by my side on the footpath walking thru an off leash park. My pup has the Suprelorin implant and is non aggressive but is boisterous. So an off leash entire male cattle dog (known to be aggressive) runs over to my dog for the 2nd consecutive morning. He is off leash and the owner has earphones on. On the phone. Not even watching the dog. Not even watching what other dogs are entering the park. This type of behaviour drives me nuts! When I see a dog on a leash I assume the owner wants the dog to be left alone for whatever reason and I keep my dogs away from dogs I see leashed. I thought this was a well known etiquette in dog parks. Is this assumption correct? I had to call out for the 2nd time to grab the dog.

Go to Small Animal Specialist Hospital ( SASH) at North Ryde or on the Central Coast. They have brilliant orthopaedic surgeons there and I'm sure you could get it done sooner. https://sashvets.com/

And get surrendered to a Rescue Shelter because the owners are too lazy and stupid to train their dogs. And the dogs often end up with long term behavioural problems. A lot of dogs are smarter than their owners and could probably train their owners if given a chance.

Sorry @Rebanne. Not Applaws. Looks like our posts went off at the same time.

@Rebanne Is it Applaws the food you were thinking of.

https://www.traveller.com.au/british-airways-accidentally-flies-pet-dog-to-saudi-arabia-instead-of-us-h28u85 This dog spent 63 hours travelling. Most of it in the cargo hold of the plane. The poor dog is now a basket case and is on medication for anxiety.

Absolutely agree with all @tdierikx has said above. Take the dog & pups to a vet ASAP.

Oxytocin can stimulate and increase the secretion of milk.
