Bloody hell – best get a tick box chart for this one.  ::)

Thanks Kiz

will need to take photos – close ups of elsa later – her eyes are quite red in comparison to other two doggies and this morning noticed that “sleep” from eyes was really dark  ???

cleaned all their ears yesterday – yuk  :-\  Just as well as BB had a seed at beginning of hers.

it becomes a habit – a routine – falkor and brose even know the routine and anticipate it all – on back – left front paw offered – left back paw offered – right back paw offered – left front paw offered – spread legs – stand – offer face…….

ami knows the routine but makes a meal of it all  ::)

sam….lets forget sam  ::) and his takes 1/2 an hour minimum  >:D

hollie – stays asleep  ;D

Bet you red eyes are down to sand from beach  ::)

[Jayne, Baby Erin, Murphy and Spud]

Good list !!!!  😉

Found a rather raw patch deep in between one of Murph’s pads last night  ::) Wash with Savlon wound wash and Aloe Vera yeah?

[kizkiznobite]

is it at the base – on the pad itself or has he splayed it or got something stuck and worried at it

[Jayne, Baby Erin, Murphy and Spud]

Erm, ooo how to explain it  ???

If you look at his pads it’s deep down the main big pad in the furry bit and iot looked all red and raw looking.  Couldn’t see anything yesterday morning when he was licking but on closer inspection that’s when I found it.  I need to trim his fur too.

[kizkiznobite]

is it the pad that is sore or the skin in between

[*Nat*]

Wow that is quite a list  ;D Good one Bev  🙂

If he has a lot of foot fur it may have grit caught in it or the fur could be too thick and there is not enough air getting up between the pad.

Your new lass Elsa looks like a dog on a bad diet, she has that pink lip and eye look, think you will see a difference when she settles in herself and eats better food

Great list – though I check Honeys eyes everyday – and clean them whenever needed –  ;D

She gets brushed two or three times a week -sometimes more, I just check everything as I brush  🙂

so do i with the clumbers – but this was the biggy check

loki belted for the door when the ear wash came out – think he is going to have the fur trimmed under the pads before long too – he enjoyed the willy check though  😀
