Hi, My Sheltie had mange and was given Bravecto. She had a mild seizure the next day and two since then, a month later (bravecto is still in her system). My Vet advises the seizures are not Bravecto related. Each seizure appears to have been triggered by intense exercise (following a car on...

Hi. I’m Jo. I have a 2 year old blue Merle Sheltie and a 10 month border collie. We live on the Mornington Peninsula. We bought my Sheltie over from Tokyo where we were living. She was scared of everything and didn’t want to leave her crate let alone the house. She would bark at every little...

Thanks.

I forgot to mention that she now wags her tail. She never wagged it before.

Remember my sheltie Yuki who was unbelievably fearful and timid. Well, we moved to Australia from Tokyo 9 months ago and from the day we picked her up from quarantine she has been a different dog. It must be the open spaces as opposed to urban living that has made the difference. She loves...

Hi Matsuki. I have just bought a Blue Merle Sheltie in Tokyo. Am keeping her inside as it is so hot out there today.

Hi, We bought Yuki home from the breeder 2 days ago and is very timid. She is 2 1/2 months old and gets her last shot in 10 days and have been told to keep her indoors without visitors during this time. I suspect she has not been well socialised, but definitely not mistreated. We have a...
