Aly

Ive been to health shop and got some tea,also some caledula cream to put on any raw spots. I have also been given some homoeopathy for animals to try ,sulphar pilules. Will be interesting to see how she goes over the next few days. Thanks for the replys everyone.

I stripped the weight off Aly by feeding her the Barf Kangaroo Patties. Once she was ideal weight that vet said she now has chicken Barf patties She has also developed arthritis due to cortisone over the years,I do gentle walks with her and ball play in the yard. Plus she has fish oil evveryday...

Can you tell me the quantity you used for bathing please? Thanks I would just use around 1/4 cup of dried petals Aly, but I don't really know...PM Westiemum and Erny and they will tell you EXACTLY... also...what are you feeding your dog with?, perhaps we can suggest stuff that will help the itchies. Thanks for the reply, I feed Aly on Barf Patties,chicken frames and sometimes necks. Have been doing this for a year now I guess. Ive tryed the bath wash from groomers that seems ok, she is back on antihisamines 2 a day,they dont seem to make much difference. My vet bill just keeps adding up with medications and lotions,so would love a natural wash for the poor love.

Can you tell me the quantity you used for bathing please? Thanks

Aly doesnt care less who is watching her either, wish she would use just one spot. I'm for the white poo poo as well no stinkys She is on Barf patties and its only since shes been on this diet before they where grosss Belinda

I found this page in weeds hope it can open as it shows a photo of the wandering jew.... Belinda http://www.weeds.asn.au/weeds/txts/wand_jew.htm

Wish I had of seen this post before I bought my new 105mm Nikor lens they are just over $100 cheaper

Hi, Hope someone may be able to help me,,, How do I get photos out of photobucket on the the forum???? Belinda

I agree. Aly has never been healthier since I I've started her on Barf patties... BTW how come dogs can bury a bone leave it for days retrieve it covered in sand and and smelling rotten,, yet they dont get sick?????? Do wild dogs light the camp fire to cook their meat? so why should we cook it for them

Sadly being in country WA we dont have vet teaching unis here,,, just passionate vets when you find one,,, and the lady vet I have at the moment is.She listens and doesnt judge, and doesnt push. she recommended Aly one week on macrolene( my last vet was oh we will just put Aly on these tablets no telling me what the side affects were just that oh she may get bit more hungry or thirsty....................NOT that they are bad for their heart and can reduce their life span!!! WTF Aly is one of my children. I havent changed Alys diet as Vet advised just for now,,, and now that she has been on medication and and same food, Im thinking its the grasses out the back..... Hmmmm rip up lawn and dog has concrete?? ;) Belinda

Wobbly great post before thanks, Hmm from the photos I see what you mean by moth eaten Aly gets like that too, she has very thin spots on her hind legs almost bald. Will see if I can get a piccy of it to post. Today she has hardly had a scratch..... what a relief, I will keep her on the macrolene till around Wednesday then slowly wean her down and see how she goes. And tomorrow another bath in groomers shampoo, she has realised I think that bathing soothes her she even puts her paws up to get into the bath now Belinda

Its 3 days since Aly has been to the vets, she has been on half a macrolene tablet morning and night and 2 phernergan tablets. Her itches have improved heaps. Wobbly you say 10mg phernergan Aly is on 25mg twice a day, Im totaly amazed they dont knock her out but vet said they dont afect dogs the way they do us humans. You say your amstaff looks like she is moth eaten that is exactly how Aly looks on her hind legs where she goes round and round in circles rubbing them on the ground... but today I havent seen her doing it so heres to some improvements Its not nice seeing them so itchy ....Love you pics wobbly very cute doggies Oh and Ive been bathing her in Groomers shampoo as I didnt have any Malaseb. Belinda

Yes I have actualy I must start her back on them again, She loves them. Maybe I should give the chicken the flick for a while???And she also drags herself over the lawn :p Does Aly have food allergies, or contact allergies, or both? If it's just a contact allergy thing I wouldn't worry about stopping the chicken necks, although I suppose if you stop feeding them you'd know for sure if they were a main culprit. If Diesel wasn't so DA, I'd suggest setting up a little drag strip & betting on the outcome between the two efs. Well Tanya(vet) seems to think its contact with her. LOL @ the drag strip. Aly looks like she has lost the use of her back legs when she does that. Belinda
