Attended vet yesterday with Pindan and arana , we had hoped to take Pilbara as well , unfortunately Pilbara is very anxious and very fearful of change ,to remove him from his familiar safe environment creates such panic ,which in turn will result in very negative our come with his health and mental stability .Arana and Pilbara are wild born dingoes . Very different to domestic bred dingoes ,and our wild born do suffer greatly with stress and fear , however We crated arana and covered her crate but it doesn’t stop her high anxiety levels , we carried the crate into vet in an attempt to ease her distress , she is a little girl very typical of our Kimberly dingo weighing in at just over 12 kilos petite and almost fragile . So timid it is palpable .as is normal for our wild born dingo when under duress she lost control of body functions . She was quickly sedated so vet work could be carried out . It’s also very important when giving sedation to monitor very closely as their high stress levels pump up the adrenaline which counteracts the sedation , so keeping them calm and secure is of the utmost importance .also important to lower the dosage of sedation as they can easily go into shock so it is a very fine line when working with wild dingoes . Regardless of being hand reared they retain their wild . Once Arana was calm she was vaccinated and blood work was done general check and quickly put into security of her crate . Pindan now has an aversion to vets so his attitude is to snap and fight . Same applies we kept him calm albeit as stated domestic are not the same as wild so his attitude is to fight where arana is flight .pindan had hip x rays and blood work , he throws right hip , there is a slight change in right hip to left but not sufficient to cause him discomfort . Caesar has chronic hip dysphasia . Of all the dingoes we have noted with hip dysphasia and other defects we also note are originating from one line .We express our concerns on the dingoes in rescues in America . When first aware of illegal exportation we were informed it was to keep the dingo from extinction ( legal or not ) however expression of concern was made clear and prediction of the out come , today those predictions have come to fruition and I fail to see how our Australian Dingo can be preserved whilst now being regarded as an exotic keepsake in a foreign country , with the possibility of cross breeding with wolves and coyotes .i fear there is no where safe for our Australian Dingo . There will always be exploitation ego arrogance .
pilbara
Brahmins on her purple blankie has been here close on 4 years she was 15 months old when she arrived. Jack is our big boy he has been here close to 5 years he was 7 months old to be destroyed at the pound . Karulundi thinks she is the prettiest kid on the block she now is 3. The ever handsome mulga 3 years he’s been here he was 15 months when he arrived now close to 4 . The Pilbara boy, hasn’t he come into his own wild born found in the wild. Pilbara keeps hurting his nose and constantly we have to stop infection .Caesar now close to 11 months old has severe hip dysphasia he has pain relief daily , lobo what a big boy he is now he too keeps damaging his nose so he has a purple nose, realise most here were pound dingoes all were to be destroyed , karulundi Brahmini Caesar lobo their families could not manage or in some incidences situations changed ,regardless all were abandoned .
jack got a bit cross
15 all wormed ,2 have had a triple dose of flea treatment . All had a good brush and comb , jack got a bit cross ,claims I pinched him with the comb , so not true , brahmani really enjoyed her de fur time .pilbara and Arana have fine hair so they are easy to brush. Lobo Pilbara burra all have sore noses so now they all have purple noses , genna’s face has become irritated again , damned if I can resolve this problem other than just make her comfortable ,all others are sorted for now , all appear happy . Always busy here
