Mason_Gibbs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) They can do it without shaving, Mason has had stuff taken from his jugular with no shaving, he doesnt get shaved as his fur doesnt grow but i let them clip Gibbs as in a week you cant see there was even a patch :) Edited February 8, 2012 by Mason_Gibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Good luck to Millie! They don't need to shave to use an IV drip... or at least they don't on my Lappies or Kelpies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Good luck to all the DOLers with sick dogs! Fingers crossed for Millie tomorrow RS. Toby started limping Monday for the first time in a long time However he has chewed a big sore between his toes on one of his feet and I have been treating that and the limp is getting better, so it looks like it was just to stop him stepping on the sore foot not an actual soundness problem!

Mason_Gibbs Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Poor Toby is that his allergies flaring? Mason is itchy for the first time in ages. Gibbs is a bit too but i think its coz he is losing puppy fur, he has seriously changed colour!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyValley Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah it's his allergies. He has been so good for ages and now the itch! He did have a minor diet change so that is probably what has brought the itching about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yeah it's his allergies. He has been so good for ages and now the itch! He did have a minor diet change so that is probably what has brought the itching about. Nothing has changed with Masons diet so no clue to what's making him itch besides maybe high pollen count. I myself have had hay fever the last few days so it must be it. I must make a plan to meet up with you to grab my Cabela's stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 RS will be thinking of you and Millie today! When it rains it pours right? James' turn is next week ... poor spartan has a very sore patch on his tummy from his food reactions but other than that I'm not seeing any other allergy reactions, thank goodness.

SparkyTansy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 MG James is having bloods taken - I suspect Hypothyroidism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ST - are you sending the blood to Jean Dodds in the States? I sent some of Lucy's blood and it was comparable in price to Australia when I did it. Apparently they can pick up much more subtle changes there.

pie Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Speak to Ptolomy ST - if you haven't already - she recently sent bloods to Dr Jean Dodds - from what she was telling me it is not only cheaper than getting them done here but also more accurate. MG I have been to Rivergum once for a consult, luckily it didn't go any further than that, I had nothing bad to say really.

RubyStar Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Millie is at the vet and I am awaiting a phone call update to let me know how it went. They said the surgery will probably take place before lunch. Poor girl hates the vet. Vet nurse wasn't able to walk her out the back as I waved goodbye at the door, so I had to walk her back there. Then when she wouldn't get in the kennel, I had to pick her up and put her in A warning that she eats blankets, a few kisses goodbye and I was on my way. Please let me hear some good news soon!! What/where is Rivergum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sorry to hear about all the other doggies needing some extra special attention. Hugs to all of them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Poor Millie... mine do that too but they can be picked up which makes it a bit easier :laugh: Rivergum is a specialist referral vet in Willetton, I had to take Kyzer there when it was suspected he had a spinal injury (he didn't - he had been eating polar fleece which was giving him discomfort and pain). Fail :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Kyzer I can laugh because Millie eats fabric, too, and she doesn't discriminate between fabrics, either. Towels, beds and blankets are on the top of her menu Edited February 9, 2012 by RubyStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
