I should know more tomorrow we couldnt get hold of our friend tonight we think they may have taken him to another vet? We heard that bird flu had been found in a cat in australia. I was looking at stuff and some of his symptoms sound like leaky gut? has anybody heard of this?

come on anybody have any ideas this little baby needs all our help... I have just been going over many animal health sites and emailed stuff to friend..... Please I dont usually beg but tonight I am

Hi my friends baby sheltie is REALLY REALLY sick he has been sick ever since he had his C4 vacc 2 weeks ago, he is only 18 weeks old. He was very lethagic but eating little had the runs was given antibiotics then was coming good. Th past few days he has turned down hill again very fast the vets have done blood tests and also I think have done some tests on his poo?? DO you think this could be from his vacc? or do you think maybe a blockage? or selmalnela (sorry for spelling) from chicken? he also spent 2 days on a drip...

Hi the sump oil and cement just falls apart, this is how I usually judge whether lucy needs some more. How Have you been going with Kasper's ears?? Have you been able to do photo yet? you can pm me a photo if that's easier?

Hi Sheltiesrule, Can I say excellent choice of breed I have got a little tri girl (16wks) who is also teething I use Sump Oil and Cement on her ears. I only have ever put this on the inside of Lucy's ears Once a week I usually replace it with new as my other shelties play with her and rough her up... I also am going to try white chalk (footy fields) and glycerine have been told from mum (breeder) that this really works well. It's a matter of keeping on top of this especially while they are teething. Do you have any pictures of your baby?? Good luck let us know how you get on....

Hi all, I have a sheltie that had has a problem with one eye leaving tear stains, since I have moved out of mum and dads away from that area his eye has virtually cleared up. Maybe it could have something to do with where they live?? Occasionally he'll have a bad day or two (really windy) but I'm amazed at how well it has cleared up. Fingers crossed it stays this way...

Hi personally I think you can talk them out of "s"... I know when my Angel Annie was having them i used to Yell out her name and tell her we going to Grannies and she came out so quickly. So i really would be talking to you kiddies or even try Yelling out there name,you must be persistant keep yelling tell they came out of it. My heart goes out to you all fingers crossed we can beat this f@#$ing thing.... It cant be good for them to keep having "S" for as long as they do??

Hi Megs, Im so sorry to here bout your baby, my heart really does go out to you and your family :p :p Please take some comfort in knowing he's in a much better place now. Can I ask how old he was? Take care

Hey Babe, it's been 4 weeks since I held you in my arms as we said see-ya later, not goodbye it was a till we meet again.... It's been the toughest 4 weeks of my life... I hope you are running free and have alot of fun with all the other ur babies.. Mummy and Daddy love you and miss you soooo much, you will b forever in our hearts.. Grandma and Grandpa miss you too. Simon,Lucy,Tinkabelle,Kitty,Intruder,Jade,Amber,Skye,Pepsi and Rosie Doe cant wait to see you again. You are mums number 1 Love you my sweet babe xxxx

Crysti_Lei, I'm sooo sorry for your loss as Im wading thru these tears my heart is breaking for you and your family. Reading this had bought back so many memories I had of my Annie, she was PTS 3 weeks yesterday. It may take awhile, but I have been told that eventually our hearts will stop aching??? I dont think this ever happen, I just pray each and every day that all our fur kids are running free at the waiting for us to return to be a family again. Take care and my best wishes to you and your family I know you both loved her alot ;)

Hi Mel, Im so sooorrrry for ur loss.. my thoughts are with you in this sad time.. I have many pets buried at Lawnswood they are great.. Take comfort in knowing your baby is waiting for youon the other side.. I know how you feel my Annie was PTS 3 weeks this sunday and it still hurts Take care

Hi All, As i have noticed reading over these posts, I was told from a vet that you can't lose a dog while they are having "S"???? is this right or is this vet wrong??? I always worried bout this when Annie was home alone, even thought she was a morning "s" I would often leave her at mums so somebody was with her.. She always liked to be cuddled, and I would have to YELL her name so she would come out of the "S".. which she always did.. I used to always find her out the back in her favourite part of the garden in the sun, so I mad sure it was nice and clear for her... I really do feel for you all and hope that this new brain surgery is going to get passed and other people can benefit from this. My Annie didnt make it as you all know but there is 3 dogs that have and have all been "S" free.. and that been over 4 weeks for the first dog. Take care and hope some "S" free days,weeks,months ahead.

HI Most dogs you will find will have a normal life, well close to normal.. its just a matter of getting the theraputic level. With my Angel Annie i noticed with her pattern in "S" she always had them in the morning 5.30am-10am. Mainly it was at 5.30am when she was due for her meds. It is a really scary thing to see and I feel for you all who are dealing with this horrible desease. Good luck and be sure to keep us posted. Although I lost Annie a few weeks ago Im always watching over this post. Cherio Sheltielover and Angel Annie

Hi Inspector Rex, maggie looked a beautiful baby.. My heart is with you today. Only time will help ease the pain.. this is what i have been told. I know how you feel my baby Annie left me two weeks ago today Take Care Sheltielover and Angel Annie

Hi Meg Ed, I know how your feeling as Staffy-Lover says it does come and go.. What and how much is your puppy on? My Angel Annie was on 37.5mg pb twice daily and 175mg kbr twice day.. she wasnt coping on this and was told to up her dosage but I chose not to thats when I took her to melbourne he said her meds was really high. Apparantly the levels (numbers ) dont mean much to vets????? Annie didnt take to well with the med changes she seem really dazed and confused and very wobbly all the time... I dont mean to make this sound harsh cause all dogs react differently to meds.. it's all about finding the theraputic range for you pet.. Just remember we are all here if you need a chat or shoulder to cry on. Take care and keep us updated. Hope it all works out for you Sheltielover

Hi ChEeKy AnGeL, did you have your loving friend cremated? if so who done this for you?? Im slowly getting my shit together, have decided to take Annie with me to work every day, people may think it's stupid but hey at least then I can have a chat to her bout my day and get things of my chest and know she understands in a strange way.. It's two weeks tomorrow since I made that decision and sometimes I bloody regret the whole surgery for epilepsy, then I will still have her... and not writing in the forum.. Anyway take care and my heart goes out to you and your family. I remember everything bout her even down to her smell can never forget that

My dear Annie, i picked you up today with a thousand tears streaming from my face to have you in my arms again. It felt so right .. i have you sitting on my bedside table.. anytime I think of you I can go into our room and have a talk, I know your listening. I miss you more and more each day your gone. I know your having so much fun playing at the bridge Till we meet again babe your always in my thoughts. I love you Love your mum and dad.. PS grandma and grandpa miss you heaps

Hi Im not having trouble with my own dogs as they have been bought up getting groomed every day. I have been asked to clip this dog that is full on matted to the skin, when I went round to house the girl told me that the dogs bites, and that even a muzzle is no good?... I told her that maybe she should take dog to vet and get it groomed there as I didnt feel comfortable to do this?? So thankyou for all replies although i have not posted I have been reading these.

:cool: It's been one week today at 4.45pm since my baby has left for the bridge. I have never felt so much heart ache as what Im feeling now. :D Is this pain ever going to leave or is it with me forever :rolleyes: Annie mummy loves you sooooo much and hopes you are having fun playing with all the other angels who have passed. I cant wait to see you on the other side, I really hope you will come and meet me so my heart can be whole again. My Angel Annie I love you and miss you so much, I know your in a better place. Your mate simon misses you heaps he is still so sad thats his playing friend has left him, I cant explain to him what happened he just looks up at me with those sad brown eyes. Grandma and Grandpa say hello and they send you hugs and kisses :hug Mummy,Daddy, Kitty, Tinkabelle,Intruder and baby Charm cant wait to see you again, we love you Love and Kisses my darling for mummy will never forget you :D :D :p

Hi just wondering how much valium would you give a dog, to make them more relaxed for grooming??

He has had brisket bones b4 and they are still shit

Thanx WendyH, My Annie is was Angel Annie I cant remember loving a dog like her before, my heart is still aching for her.. I know people will think this maybe sick but I had her cremated and get her ashes hopefully on monday?? I"m still finding it hard to move on (dont think I will fully)... but Ive got another baby (in photos page Charm). I shouldnt compare her to annie but in some respects I do It's 1 week on sunday so we are having a little memorial for her Thankyou again for your kind words

In answer to your questions my sheltie lives on raw chicken neck,frames and marrow bones... so thats no problem there... :rolleyes: He's just a dog that his saliva makes his teeth brown and yukkii??? mum has also got one thats like this and her vet told her that it was just his saliva? I thought Id just get them cleaned and see how he goes from there. thankyou anyway

Hi does anybody know of a cheap vet to get teeth cleaned???? I have had a couple of quotes and price seems bit high??? range from $250-400???? would like to know if a cheaper vet around geelong.. Not going to name clinics. Cheers sheltielover

RIP Britt... Im so sorry for your loss.. just remember all the good times you had together... he's looking down on you and keeping you all safe. He's probably up stairs playing with my annie my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.. they say time heals but shit when will it mend a broken heart??
