@Dimond . I had thought of this as well because a dog nearby had Coon Hound Disease some years ago. Very unusual I would have thought to get this disease in Inner Sydney but that was the diagnosis.. The owners had it diagnosed by Specialist Vets ( SASH in Sydney) and the dog did make a slow but full recovery. It was a bigger dog than a JRT.

Could it be Leptospirosis? Are you on acreage? Those symptoms are the same as what happened to one of my dogs years ago. They did all the tests at a Sydney Specialist Centre and couldn't find anything. I thought it may have been Leptospirosis so my normal vet treated him with antibiotics. He got better but was never the same. He was never diagnosed with a specific condition so we don't know if we treated it correctly or not. https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-is-leptospirosis/

I am using Meals for Mutts Turkey & Chicken. I have used this brand on & off for some years.

What about some Greenie dental treats. They come in all sizes for petite to large dogs and they are all natural.

My neighbour's daughter has just bought home a female blue heeler cattle dog. It is now about 5 months old. None of them have a clue about dogs. They told me" they are not dog people". The dog walks around the streets unleashed amongst traffic. Barks non=stop day & night especially at night. There is another blue heeler down the street as well. Even though it is walked regularly the owner goes to work and leaves it to bark non=stop all day. Not a good breed choice for an urban area.

He was just walking his dog not far from his home. This is the 2nd time this particular dog has mauled another dog. It was unmuzzled , off leash and not enclosed in a yard.

One of my Giants had a large lipoma in the middle of his back. It would burst sometimes when he rolled on his back . It eventually went away altogether. It did seem to get smaller after each time it burst.

I wouldn't be happy if your dog harassed my dog in the park in the way you are describing. I agree with what everyone else has said. There are a lot of bullies in dog parks. I find the human bully worse than the dogs. If you don't do something about your dogs behaviour other dog owners are going to get nasty and it may even end up at council if your dog is not pulled into line. Is your dog desexed? Did he get socialised at puppy school ?

It's all a very slight variation on the same theme. i.e. Different shoes.

He is just gorgeous. I can't take him as I have a pup. If i didn't ...........I would.

Thanks Diva.

Hopefully she is on the mend and the medication solves the problem. Thanks for letting us know.

Are blue staffies able to be shown. I thought the blue colour wasn't recognised by the ANKC. So would that mean not on the Main Register?

At what age was your dog desexed? Is she a rescue dog?

Appreciate the update.

I wonder how many Oodles end up in Rescue Shelters.

A lot of people buy Oodles. I live in Inner Sydney and every other dog is a Oodle of some kind. Cavoodle, Schnoodle, Groodle, Moodle and Boodle Puglier, Puggle etc The Oodles outnumber the purebred dogs by a mile.

It sounds like you have found your perfect friend and companion. I'm pleased it all worked out so well for you.

Dogs that have lived with another dog are usually good when a puppy replaces the outgoing dog. However some dogs are just happy to be the focus of attention and be the only dog.
