Dehydration

This is a thread I started last year when I was a bit worried about my new pup on a really hot day in August.

If anyone would like to add any experiences or advice which they think might help other members, please reply to this FAQ thread (don't reply to the link about Josie below, because your information might be lost on page 4 or 5 of an already long thread).

Head your reply "Dehydration Advice". Thanks!

Help... is Josie ill? (pale gums, vomiting yellow frothy stuff)

Stings - bee and wasp

This thread has a few good tips, ranging from lavendar oil, to aloe vera, to "winegar for wasps and bi-carb for bees"...

the supermodel has been stung...

First Aid Supplies

First Aid Box - what's in yours?

Lectric Soda in Australia... and antihistamines in the UK

Scar tissue

Reducing scarring - what do you use?

edited to add in a recent recommendation by an aromatherapist for scar reduction - rosehip seed oil. I've recently used this myself on poor Josie after her deer-chasing injuries, with very impressive results! I bought it online after shopping around - the cheapest was £7 with free p&p so PM me if you'd like to use the same online shop :thumbsup:

An added bonus is that it has "anti-aging properties" so has other uses for those of us over-40 who are getting a bit desperate to reverse the signs of aging :- "

Choking Scare

Choking scare thread from Sept 04

Sore pads

Ouch - torn nail, what do I do?

[SIZE=8pt]The information found in FAQ is given freely by K9 members, some of whom have vast experience accumulated over many years.[/SIZE]

In some cases members have veterinary or medical qualifications.

However, all FAQ threads and posts are based on experience and anecdotal evidence.

Nothing can be assumed to be "research-based" and FAQ is offered simply as help and advice, not a substitute for consulting your vet or other knowledgeable body.

 

If you have a veterinary concern you must consult a vet.

Just bumping this up because there have been so many tales of stings over the last few days :blink: and the first aid tips might be useful for people. Josie was stung this morning too :eek:
 
Just added some new info on rosehip seed oil - it's miraculous, IMO :thumbsup:
