Flagyl is Metronidazole, which is an antibiotic....... so I'd say no not the same as peptobismol............

for diarrhoea in my dogs and cats I give boiled chicken, rice and pumpkin... works a treat

I am by no means an expert - I'm just a dog owner who fumbles her own way along, learning new things every day about being a doggy parent! I get up to pee throughout the night once or twice every night. If my dogs need to go, then I let them out every time I get up throughout the night. My youngest ...

I agree with afore mentioned advice - I would most certainly be getting another vet's opinion! Just because someone is qualified as a vet, doesn't mean they are always right. In this case they may well be, but it won't hurt to double check - for the life of your dog, and your own peace of mind! I kn...

thank you very much! It's pretty much what I figured - just wasn't sure if I should use a lead or just hold the collar, but the lead would make them even more excited thinking it's walkies time! I'll be working on this over the next few weeks/months!

Always appreciate your help Em

just to jump in on this thread, Em could you give step by step instructions on teaching the self control with ball throwing? My dogs LOVE ball, they adore playing ball - they have their own ball each and don't chase each others ball (this is excellent at the off lead park, as they don't steal other ...

heheheheh that is SO cute, I totally know that feeling... my girl is 1 year 5 months, and she STILL gets HUUUUUUUUGE praise for letting me know she needs to go outside to poop!

I'm no pro, but I taught my little girl to "roll" - when she was in the down position (Drop, for her), I would hold a treat in front of her nose, and move it slowly around to her left paw, which she would then follow with her nose - and I'd give her the treat for following it. Once she got...

hey Em, with your veges - do you blend them all up raw? I haven't tried blending a bunch of veges like that, but I will give it a shot this week if that's what you do. My dogs just don't like veges, unless it's straight off my plate when I'm done! Actually, they like sweet potato, and occasionally v...

don't quote me, but I have heard that if a dog does consume human chocolate, it needs to vomit , and then consume activated charcoal, which soaks up the toxin. My dog is only 5.8kg, so a small amount of chocolate would be quite toxic - so if she ate 1 lindt ball, I would take her to the vet straight...

I wish you could edit your posts on this forum, but unfortunately you can't! I forgot to mention "crating" your dog over night as an option. I have never used a crate, so can't really comment on them much at all, but there is heaps of info regarding crating in other threads here.

hi Maria AH AH firmly , pick him up mid pee (he will stop) lauren LOL - had to have a bit of a laugh at this. Pups won't stop mid wee as a general rule - at least they never have in this house. :lol: :lol: Fantastic advice from Ems there :) I'm pretty sure that was a quote directly from Victoria's ...

I'm sure Em or Josie will have a long in depth reply for you, but a couple of things I have comments on. My pup is 1 year 3 months now, and just the other day I got home, took her out straight away to toilet, and she pooped twice, then came running inside, and promptly peed on the floor 5 minutes la...

my pup always hated the car, and would vomit every trip - even just around the block. After she was spayed at the vet, she was petrified of the car - she wouldn't get in on her own, and once she was in, she would sit there and shake and shake and shake, then vomit. I read about dogs and car sickness...

I'm really sorry to hear that you lost CJ, and my thoughts are with you.

use the toys that she has in an effective manner - not just playing with her, or leaving there for her to entertain herself with, but when she does nip, or attempt to nip, give her a toy instead - to hopefully teach her that she's NOT allowed to bite you, but she IS allowed to bite the toy instead. ...
