  1. Sorry. Here is the link to Katrina Warren's blast. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/home/pets/harrys-practice-vet-dr-katrina-warren-puts-group-of-dog-owners-on-blast-over-infuriating-habit/news-story/49fec0cc5fc9fcca8a6f60ad7732eee6
  2. https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/australian-guardian-dog-owners-devastated-after-breeder-takes-family-pets-back/3ddaec4d-777d-45c4-9f26-5cb787dd59a1 The lawyer interviewed commented that the Sale Agreement for these dogs was more like a hire purchase agreement rather than a sale. Are Guardian Agreements the new normal when purchasing a dog or does it only apply to "Oodles".

  4. This has always happened with my entire males. They become a target for other entire males. It seems to start when the pups are between 8 and 12 months old that they get pounced on.
  5. One of my dogs recently had really bad diarrohea . The best thing for him was boiled chicken and Hills I/D kibble. The Hills worked really well. I normally don't use Hills but the Vet recommended it and it did the trick .
  6. You can't beat love & happiness. And that's shining out of her.
  7. Could your Vet keep him in their freezer until you leave. Then transport him as suggested by Boronia.
  8. Sarplaninac male dog for rescue . https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/856615
  9. I'm glad you are moving quickly on this as it's a very progressive disease. I hope it all goes well for you. She is a lovely looking dog.
  10. I would recommend getting a 2nd opinion. Have they X-Rayed her chest yet ? https://www.sashvets.com/ollie/ The Oncology Dept at SASH is very good. I highly recommend Veronika or Sandra.
  11. https://www.stockland.com.au/retirement-living/nsw/cardinal-freeman-retirement-village Google this. There are variations on the Cardinal Freeman accomodation style. A neighbour 's mother has recently gone to live there after selling her property. Everyone is very happy with the accomodation & they apparently have their own wine bar & other social outlets. They have assisted living with a Concierge that takes care of everything. Not sure about the pet aspect but hoping it's allowed. Advert show pictures of dogs- hopefully allowed.
  12. I live about 5 kilometres from Sydney. I go to a large busy Vet Practice. My Vet had never heard of Galliprant. From what I read in overseas articles it had good results for dogs. I was disappointed my Vet had never heard of it.
  13. Could this help your dog's joints. https://projectunderdogrescue.org.au/product/4cyte-canine-epiitalis-forte/ Has anyone tried the 4cyte Epitalis Forte Gel for dogs?
  14. Most of the GSP's i've known need a lot of exercise & stimulation. Plus she's only 8 months old.
  15. It's spelt Boerboel.
  16. This situation is only going to get worse as the disease progresses. You are just delaying the inevitable. It's a tortured situation for the dog and your family.
  17. https://www.jumbopets.com.au/hills-prescription-diet-d-d-skin-and-food-sensitivities-dry-dog-food.html I have used Jumbo many times. They are not far out of Sydney and deliver.
  18. Imuran was the other drug used for my dog's MM. It is an immune suppressing drug used to treat various auto immune diseases in dogs.
  19. One of my Giants had Masticatory Myositis. He was diagnosed at around age 4 and lived until 10 and a half. He died from something unrelated to the MM. He was on daily predisone for life. Starting with a high dose and gradually tapering the dose down. He was also on another Chemo drug that I can't remember the name of. This was around 12 years ago so there may be other drugs available now to treat this condition. The only way it affected my dog was in his jaw which made it a bit more tenuous for him to eat. He could eat kibble and softer foods quite well.
  20. Could it be one of the medications that makes her unsettled.
  21. Pls see link illustrating Irish Wolfhound colours. https://www.showdog.com/breeds/color_pics.aspx?breed=Irish Wolfhound
  22. My 50-60kg Giants also fit in the plastic bag in the box.
  23. This was on ACA tonight re pet funerals & cremations. https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/funeral-service-giving-aussie-family-pets-royal-sendoff/1b691d9b-6a0a-4801-aba1-248a160c8bf7
  24. Just came back from my Vet a couple of days ago. My dog has KC. He didn't have a temp. but was coughing all night with bits of mucus as well. Vet gave him codeine. We gave him 2 tablets on 1st night . Next day we gave him 2 tabs in the morning & 2 at night. Now back to 2 at night & the cough is almost gone. He is a 50kg dog. Vet said it could take up to 10-14 days to get rid of the KC.
  25. You could ring your Vet & ask what Crematorium they use. You could then ring the Crematorium & ask whether they do individual cremations. If not then google Pet Crematoriums in NSW & enquire from them what procedures they use & whether they would do an individual cremation for your dog. Better to enquire beforehand as it's very distressing on the day when you PTS. And there could be a lot going on at your Vets meaning you might compromise on something you normally wouldn't have. Check with the Vet's receptionist beforehand They are usually well informed re these matters.
