Just on the topic of Alprazolam (Xanax) - it's a Schedule 8 drug as you know by now. So the prescription has to be actual ink signature on paper (from memory the amount to dispense has to be in ink as well) and can't be scanned through. She's saved you the trip of picking it up which is nice. Changing specialists, I don't know. Depends on if you feel comfortable. Maybe you just haven't clicked with each other, but if she's proven and talented in her chosen field and knows the dog, I'd forgive her an error within the safe therapeutic dose rate and hang onto her.

Oh my goodness. Sending hugs. What a rough journey you've been on. And yes regarding pee, much less smelly.

Seizures are so traumatic to see. And some can cause more and more damage over time. But I'm also going to ask, is there any access to 1080 poison?

Rest In Peace Bobi sweetheart

Oh no. I'm so sorry little Archie and family.

nevermind

Thank you! I'm considering trying this on my boy. Very very helpful.

Are you near a hydrotherapy service? Or a doggy acupuncture / physio practitioner?

It is if it's caused by allergens, a collapsing trachea or long soft palate.

I can't remember but I swear the goal was $15k but now it's up to 30.

Apart from the gruesome content, this excerpt also stood out for me given the warnings of dog fighting rings, the way this predator 'groomed' owners into handing over their dogs with trust should also be a warning. Link for anyone with a strong stomach. Please be careful. It's not for general curiosity.

Eek! Be extremely careful of his 'training advice'.

Meaty bones, but definitely have her teeth seen to first. A dental cleans up the scale, and checks for fractures that would crack under the pressure of bone chewing which is very painful. Once a scale & polish is done, you can maintain healthy teeth for longer with bones. Unless she is chronically unwell, anaesthetic will be fine, you just opt for the pre-op blood panel to make sure her system is functioning properly. And post-op fluids will assist the flushing of anaesthetic if you choose to add that option. My own personal opinion is to keep the kibble as a side-dish, snack or sprinkle. Contrary to how it can be promoted sometimes, it does not clean the teeth at all.

Covid puppies factor also. Not just large breeds and not just aggression. So many were first time dogs, and weren't able to be properly socialised or even attend classes for the owners to learn how to manage their dogs maturing into adults.

So cute!

Holy hell!

Do you have malaseb or nizoral in your stash? And some anti fungal cream for the lesions? They will tide you over and stop it's spread if not shrink it. Canesten also have a laundry liquid for clothes and bedding. You can also use the UV light from Covid tests to check the lesions for little glowing bits. Not really helpful but I guess but still fascinating. There's an oral med from the vet that they will prescribe, it's not like the old ones who used to batter the liver pretty badly. So I haven't answered your question but topical treatments can be fairly drying so a Calendula or green tea spritz couldn't hurt.

I'd contact Zoetis Aus via email to check the batch. If it really is dodgy after all, then you've got a pretty good looking counterfeit!

Oh my god. I'm so sorry for your friend. I do know people order 'coyote vests' from the U.S. in attack areas like when they go on the road travelling and there's dingo/X's and strays around camping areas. They are apparently very effective. They should be by the look of them! https://www.coyotevest.com/ The anxiety though, really needs a cooperative vet.

I'm so sorry I can't help, but sending best wishes for you both. Please update when you can.

Try calling ABR, she might know. https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/rescue-groups/238893/Arctic-Breed-Rescue

At 11, that's still not normal ageing and if anything it's taking a toll on her body. She needs to get to the vet asap.

There's a 'Rule of Three' for rescue dogs that generally helps understand what is going on with them. For example https://alphaandomegadogtraining.com/adopting-a-rescue-dog-the-3-3-3-rule/ You're right, you're also dealing with natural terrier instinct so maybe a course with a training class will help you navigate through those challenges?

One gumtree ad started as Poms and then changed twice more to add desirable crosses to the mix. Pup prices are falling. Changing tactics gets them sold. Doubt there's pure OES in the cross if at all. But I hope it grows into a nice dog that they keep forever.
