My Dog Crash

[Erny]

Thankyou to everyone for your advice and for the welcome you have given me . I am making note of all the remedies that are being suggested . At this stage it appears that the Witch Hazel mixed with Aloe Vera is working very well . It is so easy to apply and it isn't messy .

Seabrook is a small suburb tucked between Altona and Point Cook .

..... I used to frequent the Point Cook Rifle Range, when my Dad used to shoot clay targets. From memory ...... there were huge soil mounds that the airforce/army/naval personal (can't remember which) used to use for shooting practice. Us kids used to ride pieces of cardboard down those huge mounds/hills like there was no tomorrow. That was about 40 years ago. Wow. Those were the simplistic days .

ETA: Don't know why I felt I needed to share that with everyone. Guess it might be the few wines I've shared with my neighbours ..... lol.

Just wanted to say 'Hi' and welcome, especially as you have 'Crash' who is a handsome man indeed.

My own beloved Crash went on to the Rainbow Bridge back in 2003.

I miss him still and when I am saying a little thank you to the powers that be for my wonderful Whippets and old lad Carlin there is always a thought for Crash too.

I applaud your research and thinking with respect to drugs and overuse of same.

My Crash! Funny enough throughout his life some of his best mates were German Shepherds.

Hello Pawsaroundoz

Its quite funny that one of Crash's best mates is a Golden Lab . I never thought I would come across another dog named Crash . He was 9 months old when we got him so changing his name seemed pointless . Just as well really because he really warrants the name . He wants to play with every dog but when he charges up to other dogs and their owners everyone just freaks . He really is a big dog . Do you remember the cartoon 'Baby Hughie", thats my boy .

To give an update on his condition , his back is doing well and is almost completely healed , and he isn't scratching or chewing at all .

Hey Crash

I'm in Spotswood and would highly recommend Hobson's Bay Vet Clinic in Newport on Melbourne Rd. They have looked after my four legged friends for the last three years and the animal's are always put before the $'s. They very quickly referred me to a dermo specialist when it was clear that Bronte's skin reactions weren't easily diagnosable, saving me lots of time and money that other vets may have had me spend while they fluffed around trying all sorts of hit and miss solutions, as a result she is now 100% diagnosed correctly, treated correctly and her skin is really manageable and we hardly notice the condition anymore.
