My Vet used a dremel to shave a bit of my Sulcatas shell down. But please be careful if you do it yourself. Their tissue is a lot closer to the edge than one would think. A good topical for the cut, after cleaning or soaking with just water or saline ( not a peroxide fan) is Silver sulfadiazine.
He's pretty good about that but doesnt hesitate to jump in my lap, soaking wet, if I'm sitting down. But I give him credit that it isnt done on purpose ... he isnt bright enough to be devious. He's dumb .. but fun - lol.
I agree with you Mark, 100 %. I wouldnt consider NOT treating any of my senior dogs as long as their quality of life is still apparent. I had an 80lb boy that had to go on pain management at 10yrs old for arthritus. The possible side affect would have damaged his kidneys but it didnt and he was...
Lol, could be. But watch it ... Mo, my big Sulcata girl busted out one of my sliders. Ended up costing a small fortune because the replacement of one slider snowballed into replacing/updating all my sliders and windows. ( they had to match :) )
My firsts are CDT that were adopted from a woman who admitted she didnt give them the time or care they needed. They are registered and were 5yrs old when I got them. Then came Mo, a sulcata, about a year later from a guy who had 2 of them living in a small cement patio area. She was 37lbs then...
What a cute little guy. I agree with the others about the murmur. Just like humans, dogs can live with a murmur for many years. I've also seen old timers live long with the head tilt issue. You may want to research CBD oil ... ah, I just noticed you are in the UK. Is it legal there? There is a...
I grow bermuda in my yard. It holds up really well. They keep it grazed down enough that I mow only about 3 times a year. I'm actually getting ready to mow it now. It hasnt been mowed since November.
This isnt really a dumb thing but its certainly annoying and they were at it all day today. My 2 CDTs know how to use the dog door. I have a little ramp for them so they can go in and out. However ... they prefer just going out and pace the slider, knocking on the glass slider with their shell...
My Sullys move my patio furniture all over the place ... constantly ... its annoying. Im slowing buying new pieces that dont have space underneath them. Im tired of adjusting cinder blocks. Its like they think they are only as big as their head. If their head fits, the rest of them will and they...
I understand the difference of pathogens, and the debate that goes with it. While its no guarantee, they have roamed together for about 8 years. However, the CDTs do have their own space but are allowed to roam the full yard when I'm home to keep an eye on them. Also this has been discussed...
