Over the last couple of days I have noticed that Tay has all of these little dry flaky spots over her. They are about the size of a little finger nail and are just patches of dry skin. When you scratch them of they pull out bits of her fur and the skin underneath is red. Are these hotspots? How...

We have just layed new turf over the last week or so and Tayla's pee is already killing it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this happening. With summer fast approaching the grass is already suffering enough without the big boof adding to its problems. :D

I'm already fretting. We are getting married next weekend and are going to put Tay in a kennel for the night of the wedding. We thought it would be best as we will be leaving early in the morning and staying where we are having the reception and all our family and friends will be there so we...

Last night we took Tayla for a walk. As always we let her off the lead at the end of our drive so that she can have a bit off a sniff as she runs out the backyard. Last night she stopped at some conifers that line one side of our drive. The next second she started to growl, a cat made a noise...

We picked Tayla up this morning. She is still very sore, the surgeon said she would be this way for another three or four days. The operation that he performed was a colposuspension. :confused: Basically the xrays found that her bladder was in the wrong place. It was sitting inbetween...

It was an absolute stinker here today, 44 degrees C (approx 112 degrees F) Poor Tayla has spent the whole day sleeping and eating ice blocks to keep cool. We don't have air conditioning. Our house is normally really cool and you don't notice the heat but today it is like being in a sauna...

We spoke to the surgeon today and he can fit Tayla in for her surgery (to hopefully fix her incontinence) next Tuesday. He said the chances are: 50% make a full recovery no more leaking, 45% make a full recovery with the help of one hormone tablet a week, and 5% there is no difference at all...

We would really love to get another pet but really don't have the room for another Newf at the moment. We live in a unit with a small yard. :( What other sort of pets do the rest of you have and how well do your Newfies get along with them?

Is anyones else's Newfie scared of kids. Lately Tayla seems petrified of them. If we are walking and a kid comes up to pat her, which is alot, she will try and run off or hide behind me. Any suggestions on how to overcome this. Quite a few of our frinds are pregnant at the moment or trying to...

I finally got some pics back of the day we took Tayla, Rory and Chewy (one of the girls brothers to the beach for their puppy reunion. The people in the pics are my boyfriend Nigel and Amy. You can see in the pic with Tayla and Rory the size difference that Amy was taking about and why she...

Who wants to play? Come on I'm getting really tired waiting for you! This is the first thing Tayla grabs when we go out the backyard. [This message has been edited by Nicole (edited 03-25-2002).]

Hi Guys . We are going camping over this easter long weekend and are going to take Tayla with us. She has never really been tied up before but we are not sure wether or not we can trust her not to run off all of the time. The place we are staying is on a river so at least she can swim and I'm...

Well the time has finally come. Amy and I are meeting on Sunday which means that Tayla and Rory will be seeing each other for the first time since all the puppies went to their new homes.One of the girls brothers, Chewy may also be coming. We are meeting at the beach (an appropriate place for...

Just after some advice on how to get Tayla swimming. She loves the water and just loves to be wet by the hose or lay in her kiddie pool. She even tries to hop in the shower with you. When we take her to the beach or a lake or something she will run straight into the water but will stop as soon...

We took Tayla to the vet today as she has been limping on her front left leg for a little while now. The elbow xrays came back okay however her hip xrays showed signs of moderate hip displaysia particulary in her right hip. The vet seems to think she was limping as she was putting all of the...

This picture of Tayla (Rory's sister, How exciting!!!) was taken about one month ago. She is now about 14 months Hope this works. I am in a rush and read through the instructions really quickly.

Over the last week or so we have noticed small scabby sores on Tayla's back. We have just moved into summer here so she is losing her undercoat. The sores seem to be in the places where the undercoat is still quite thick. A friend of ours told us there were 'hot spots' and would go away...
