Breedia Dog Forum
I believe the original poster asked for opinions and so I gave mine :) Yes, my girl is spayed. It took an awful amount of deliberation, but, having...
I wouldn't dream of having a boy circumcised. The 'healthier' argument is, I believe, being discounted in many quarters. I also wouldn't dream of...
There's a lot of talk of 'fit for purpose' these days. If a purpose means having to chop bits off, is the dog really fit for that purpose? Again, as...
and by the same reasoning, animals that are docked/cropped are also likely to be in unrecognised pain.
It's the AMVA site. Europe, Canada and others have already banned the procedure. They can't all be animal rights activists surely.
It would appear that the AVMA also opposes the procedure purely for cosmetic reasons...
If you are going to use the 'natural' argument, then surely you have to rule out tail docking because it is natural for a full tail.

Oh blimey, it does sound like a reaction to the cream. Hopefully your lovely vet will be able to sort her out quick sharp. Poor little Tikki, she...
Long haired Chihuahua was my first thought too. She is lovely whatever she is :)
I was so hoping the news would be better for Eddie. Love him, treasure him and make the most of every minute. Make tons of happy memories with him....
have you tried putting the lead/tether back down and totally ignoring her when she shows signs of 'the dance around'? Pick up again and keep...
If you're going to try an elimination diet, try using a fish based food - here I'd suggest Wacol Salmon and potato as that takes out all of the usual...
It's very sad that this has happened, but I am glad that you have found homes for all the pups. It may be a very wise idea to get your girl spayed...
I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. She's an adolescent and as such will still have some changes going on. As she ages, she'll settle to the...
It's extremely important to have vets that care. We had a wonderful vet here that really became involved with his charges. Unfortunately, he left...
It never hurts to have an expert check these things out. I doubt it's anything to worry about. x
