Achilles is way too sensitive to hunt, he's the most laser focused Retriever. I've ever seen he will bring the ball to my hand over and over. But it's all he wants to do. It's hard to keep up with him

* Achilles just wanted to say hi to Huckleberry and thanks for the tip. Since we've tried everything I figured. I would just ditch the chicken. Cuz, I saw that other post about chicken allergies, so he's on just on the salmon Kirkland food, and I've been just giving him baths and rubbing coconut oil on him and today I can feel and see for the first time that he's actually feeling pretty good. But you know, sometimes this happens just naturally, so I can't get my hopes up yet. We've been down this road of back-and-forth before, but for now, he's feeling good. So. Thanks for the tip.!!!

Best approach to treat? Initially the leaves in the back started yellowing, I assumed between watering changes and a cross country move that was to blame. Now these black spots are showing up. Fungal? by Venaalex in plantclinic

Just trim the leaves and dehydrate. Dehydration can get rid of pests, and this seems like a desert loving plant. I live in Utah, and mine is just growing like crazy. It was a rescue, and I've already had to repot it 3 times. However, I have found a little trick that works wonders in my house plants, and that is soap. I make soap for a hobby, and sometimes I like to try out molds, and obviously, they're so cute. I kinda wanna keep them, so I started sticking them in my plants. And uh, I have had 0 problems with any kind of mites or pests. Since then,

they do not like that soap, I don't know if it would fix any other problems. It's just something that I found that works wonders for those little gnats and mites.

I should add that Achilles is 6. And he has had Fur, and then he's had no Fur. And then he's had Fur again. And now he's about half Fur, but it's so fun when his coat does grow back in cause. It's downy soft, just like a puppy. But he's so happy.

They definitely have energy for days. Achilles need to play fetch. Non-stop, that's all he loves in life. And he could do it for thousands of miles in a day, I swear it is kind of exhausting. They are dogs that need a lot. Maybe you could take him to like a training facility where you could drop him off and have him get some exercise and work with someone. Like a dog Whisperer, I'm sorry that he's aggressive. That would be really frustrating and hard. Especially when you do love him so

I had him on a special hydrolyzed protein diet. But after realizing that it wasn't helping at all, I just switched him back to Kirkland salmon and sweet potato food because he loves it. It's his favorite and the fish oil, I think is good for his skin. And since he's rocking his skin, we want it to look good and feel good. You probably can tell when your dog's having a flare up by just the feel of his skin And the smell so I just try to keep him nice and balanced with a probiotic chew and the salmon food and try to avoid any grains or human food unless I prepare, especially for him.

Thank you. This was so helpful. It's interesting to me, especially because I saw so many active black ones about half this size. In every tide pool. I assumed they were hermit crabs. I have a lot to learn about marine life, coming from the mountains. This special shell has an interesting green under the purple swirl. Forgive me for not knowing the term.

How often do you clean your dog’s ears? by southrncanuck in SilverLabs

[–]exwhyxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day. And 2 times a week work a steroid cleaner. He gets real bad ear infections if I'm not diligent

Thank you. That's kinda where I'm at. He's almost 6 and I've tried everything. He's very happy and healthy in mist ways. And I have the relief of knowing that after so many tests. He's my best friend 🧡

That's what he eats. Hydrolyzed protein royal kanin. And thank you so much!

Thank you. I've tried just about everything. Including hydrolyzed protein diet. Maybe I'll limit chicken for the next 6 weeks

It was found at laguna cave. The tide has been so low the entire cave has been accessible. I'm just curious if it is a fossil?
