Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 22:14:05 -0800 Thank you Valerie & Tod for giving Boomer the best forever home we could ever have asked for. It was hard to let the BOO go as like you said he is a great dog and should fit into your plans very well. He loved Monday night football as there was always popcorn for him to try and catch. It would bounce off his nose or the top of his head and then he had to hunt for it. He also loved to chase a rolling tennis ball when we played with little Max but with his size it was sort of like a Bull In A China Shop when he went after it. :-)) We have our new male puppy as we kept the pick of our current litter.

Now if indeed she does not have to go, try putting her crate next to your bed and when she pulls the 2 AM bit,, trying thumping the create with a rolled up newspaper and telling her quiet in a firm voice. If you feel that thumping the crate is to harsh, have a RAW Beef Rib bone or RAW Beef knuckle bone handy and give that to her. The bones keep them busy for some time. Make sure you trim the excess fat off the bones if they are not used to Beef Bones. Notice I said RAW not cooked. Our Puppies get beef bones as soon as they start getting their teeth.

Sufi" To: Subject: Re: Allergies Zeus went through exactly what your boy is going through, and I tried everything. We did end up giving him cortizone, but only as a short term "band aid". At one point his licking, scratching and chewing was so bad that the vet immediately give him cortizone by injection, and then put him on antibiotics for a week because he had created so many raw spots on his legs, ankles & paws. What really worked beautifully is switching him to a dried food called AvoDerm. I also shampoo him with AvoDerm medicated shampoo, leaving it on for 10 minutes to really penetrate the fur and relieve the itching skin. The Vet recommended this brand of food and shampoo, and we started Zeus right after his cortizone shot (and when he just started his 10 day antibiotics regime), so that his skin was more comfortable and able to handle the transition. The BARF diet has always intrigued me, but because AvoDerm has worked so wonderfully to clear up Zeus' itching, I am really hesitant to change anything. I empathize with what you're going through, because it's hard to watch your furbaby so obviously uncomfortable. Mention the AvoDerm to your Vet and see what he/she thinks about it. On a side note, I don't believe I've heard this brand mentioned on the Berner-L before, is it not widely available, or is there something I'm not aware of?Any opinions about AvoDerm from all of you experienced Berner moms/dads?

My boy has been licking his feet red raw and biting and pulling at his pads and fur. It is actually quiet disturbing to watch. He has been to the vet who put him on a course of antibiotics, but said the next step would be quarterzone which i am reluctant to do as he is quiet young. Anyway would love to hear your stories and advice. Cheers Emily-Jayne Drew Australia > ATTACHMENT part 2.5 message/rfc822 Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2002 23:10:17 -0800 (Pacific >Standard Time) From: "A.
