    I had problems yes, and was unable to switch back.

    Then thankfully one day, Yahoo mail said it was experiencing a problem and had to revert me - "Yes please" I replied.

    Since, I've been tracking the beta issues, whilst staying on the old version. One guy mentioned if you switch your screen resolution way down to something like 640 x whatever, yahoo beta will be unable to display and ask you if you want to revert. Give that a try.

    :) YES i dropped my resolution down and this has done the trick

    Thank You

    Robbie 'God' Fowler To Play In Thai Premier League

    Why move the topic…..and kill the thread?

    In reply 'Moonraker'………………… Yep, I believe so, I didn't make this comment as an attack on Robbie, or football, (trust me football, puts me in a coma) it was purely an observation, and comment on WP.

    I think its testament to a system that's so ridged to some and yet flexible to others……………..Maybe I should have posted this in the recent 'Amazing Thailand topic', maybe a 'mod' could move it for me.

    He lost the GOD status when he started chucking charlie up his nose.IMHO

    If so are you having problems as I can no longer Forward Mail,Reply or Compose.

    I am no computer wizard but is it possible to switch back to my tried and trusted Yahoo Mail?

    Persistant Scratching

    in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand

    >..she seems to be mainly scratching her under belly.

    Nipples look normal? No leakage or blocked pores? As that area has less fur anyway, is she getting sunburn (unlikely) or getting a contact dermatitis from laying splayed out on the ground as dogs do in the hot weather.

    > Have tried that frontline but she runs and rolls about in the dirt after I have applied it.

    After a wash. Lots of rinsing. Allow a few days to pass then spot the Frontline on the shoulders, hunches etc. We do dry walks for a few days to allow the oil to spread and take effect. But keep up daily brushing. Then they can go swimming when we do the walk out by the river. The Frontline copes and re apply after a few months or when there are more than a few ticks appear. IMHO the BARF diet seems to keep the fleas at bay compared to neighbours dogs, also we have chickens, cattle and a few pigs around too.

    >I shower her about ever 2 weeks but again after she is showered she is out rolling about on the grass or in the dirt.

    This is far too often. Ours are a short leap from the rice fields and do roll in the nice smelling (for dogs) buffalo crap and muds, this is part of the dog wanting to "own" the smell. I would suggest frequent washing is taking oils out of the skin. Smelling like a bottle of shampoo probably encourages her to tone down the shampoo smell by rolling in the muds etc. When ours are muddy we will scrape off the worst when wet, allow them to dry then brush them clean with a soft brush. The only time they will be washed is if the mud forms lumps in between the toes or around the base of the tail. In which case we'll just use warm water to wash that part then brush when dry.

    Have you tried diluting the shampoo or using a baby shampoo (again diluted)? To be clean you do not need to see lots of bubbles. When I wash the dogs (3) I brush them first, this gets rid of most of the dirt and dust anyway, then get them very wet and rub the fur, then apply 50% dilute tick&flea shampoo (we use a hand-pump spray gun) massage in paying attention to paws, nipples and bum. Then plenty of rinsing. Dry and use a clean brush.

    > I was told that raw egg now and then is supposed to be good for a dogs coat?

    Mine like raw eggs too.

    > I think its time for another visit to her vet

    Do they do skin sample analysis under a microscope or do they guess? *

    The standard Thai vet response to skin issues is sell "Furmeg 3" pills at 10 Baht each, you are better off by feeding tinned pilchards.

    * I could suggest good places in Pattaya or Khon Kaen.

    Thanks again for the advice

    I live in Buriram so Khon Kaen is not that far away will take her to see the vet she has seen since she was a puppy and she if she improves if not i will have to make a trip.

    Regards

    Difficult to get the ideal answer with just a little information to go on, so don't shoot me down for speculating outside of your situation or asking:

    • I would like to know how long this has been going on.
    • Where on the body is she scratching?
    • How often is she shampooed? Our outdoor dogs get washed about three times a year, but brushed almost every day as part of grooming/bonding. (They are Rottie-cross.)
    • Does it occur at night? Suggesting mosquitoes the cause? (We burn a dried coconut shell.)

    Is she scratching at the injection sites? I have seen an injection cause skin problems where the body has reacted to the injection. In our case this cleared up by itself after a month, but we kept the area clean and discouraged the dog from licking the area.

    Is there any evidence of reddening of the skin there that might point to an irritation that could be caused by:

    • Chemicals - floor cleaner if she sleeps on a tiled floor. Stop using that liquid.
    • Fungal infection (Ringworm) Canesten Cream ® from the chemist is fine for dogs.
    • Dogs can suffer skin cancer like humans, so looking for abnormal moles etc just like the human self-checking web sites suggest.

    To break the itch/scratch cycle you might consider a child dose of an human antihistamine tablet. (This is one situation where human drugs can be used on dogs.) Give the pill just before sleeping as it is likely to make her drowsy.

    >...Rottie has taken to scratching herself so much so she has bald patches

    IME Rotties are not a highly strung breed that are prone to psychological fixations like some other breeds (Poodles?) but some dogs can develop habits as in Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder, so the scratch is the reward itself for scratching.

    > She has had jabs for ticks/Fleas as we live in the rice fields.

    We use Frontline, place spots of the liquid on the skin as per instructions.

    Oily fish (Raw mackerel if you are feeding BARF) or a can of pilchards twice a week help skin and fur growing well. After three months of our dogs (when pups) eating mackerel they looked like I had had them French Polished.

    As a final off the wall thought, take a closer look at the foot she is scratching with to ensure that the foot itself is not the point of irritation. Although I would expect that she would be licking directly if that were the case.

    Some other ideas.

    Hey Cuban many thanks for the reply

    She had an operation as she got pregnant and caught an infection about 1 year ago she seems to be mainly scratching her under belly.Have tried that frontline but she runs and rolls about in the dirt after i have applied it.I shower her about ever 2 weeks but again after she is showered she is out rolling about on the grass or in the dirt.

    I was told that raw egg now and then is supposed to be good for a dogs coat?

    I think its time for another visit to her vet

    Thanks again

    no worries, apparently you don't know too much about Thai football, which, if i'm not mistaken, this is what this forum is about

    it's always nice to learn a lot about a person through sarcastic, bitter comments

    go Thai Army United!

    I watched the game on TV & once the GK was sent off CRUTD fell apart....not sure if they were in the right frame of mind to play in the first place?

    I agree with those remarks.I was at the game and you could sense that some of the players did not want to be playing.

    Which given the incident proir to the game is understandable :jap: .

    Anyone going to Malaysia? Not me, I got my fill of preseason football in Bangkok two years ago, ha ha.

    And the team we are playing in China, Guangdong Sunray Cave, is not even in the Chinese Super League, but in China League One! They're positioned in 3rd place right now in the table, but should be a massacre...

    As for Henderson, I think this articles sums up nicely how King Kenny will approach the transfer market and it's a must-read for any LFC fan:

    It looks like we might soon be getting Japanese officials overseeing TPL matches. There have been growing concerns about the standard of local refereeing and fears that certain clubs are being "favoured". It will be interesting to see what happens here.

    Will we soon see foreign referees in the TPL?

    http://www.clubwebsi....pl?news=532054

    After watching the game last night Muang Thong v Police Utd there is a need to sort out some of these Thai referees as Police were robbed of a perfect goal in the first half.

    The second half was one way traffic but had they been 2 down it may have been different.

    West Ham Thread

    Sam Allardyce appointed West Ham United manager

    Sam Allardyce has taken over as manager of West Ham, following the club's relegation to the Championship.

    The ex-Blackburn, Newcastle and Bolton boss replaces Avram Grant, who was sacked after the Hammers' relegation.

    "It's a fantastic club with a great tradition and loyal supporters," said 56-year-old Allardyce, who vowed to try to "play the West Ham way".

    "I wouldn't have taken this job if I didn't think we could bounce straight back into the Premier League," he said.

    --2011--06--01-- BBC--

    I have reservations about him, but if we can keep a reasonable squad together plus add a couple of experienced players, we should tear through the 2nd division next season.

    What on earth does he want to sign EL HADJ DIOUF for?? He is Trouble with a capital T

    A very poor performance by Buriram yesterday after last weeks display at TTM i was expecting a more positive response but 2 nil down at halftime and it should have been more pulled one back and with 6 minutes of injury time we somehow managed to score twice to take all 3 points.I think they need a few home truths told to them,Rangsan,Suchao etc should be dropped as they are going through the motions IMHO

    The Prediction Thread

    If people predict Liverpool 2 v Fulham 1 but it is supposed to be Fulham v Liverpool. Then why not take the the results as it is? ie Fulham 1 v Liverpool 2. I think it matters even although some of us cant win.

    I agree with Jockstar.

    I also agree with Smokie. MrBo should be deducted 50 points!!

    What do they do in Formula One, Start at the back of the grid :whistling:

    Just a thought :jap:

    BT

    I also think that Binnsy should be deducted 50 points for being an Ipswich supporter. He didn't even read John Wark's autobiography!! :bah: :jap: :whistling:

    I would need half a dozen trees to print it!

    You can send me it again and i will get it copied by a mate.
