Deeds

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.

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.

My 12 yr old Giant had oral cancer soft tissue. We went to our local vet who removed the lump and gave the dog 3 months to live. We then immediately proceeded to Small Animal Specialist Hospital where the dog was tested for her suitability to receive a special vaccine for Melanoma. Fortunately the cancer had not spread and with the vaccine she lived for another 4 years until she was over 16 and something entirely unrelated took her out.

I posted this article in case anyone else might be in the same sad circumstance and so they would be aware that this could happen again.

These dogs were acting aggressively and hadn't bitten anyone .....yet. And they were shot immediately. The Police didn't take any chances. Owning these type of dogs is permanent chancing with people and other dogs. Councils should be stricter with compliance and enforcement.

And it was a tragedy of HIS own making. To say "It was just a tragedy , that's all" and admitting he knew which of the dogs was the MOST aggressive tells me it was more than a tragedy. It was a tragedy that was absolutely preventable .

I'm guessing but the dogs were probably in the friend's yard for a reason i.e. in case of a council visit because they had already been reported to council for something else. Or had already been declared as Dangerous Dogs. Absolutely it is a tragedy but it is a tragedy that could have been prevented if the dogs had been properly secured.

@asal A significant percentage of the population appear to be fully fledged Bogans and they definitely don't care about anything except themselves. So no surprise the dogs are not registered or micro chipped. But if these dogs came from rescue shelters wouldn't the rescue organisation micro chip the dogs before they were handed over to new owners.
