Australian sheppard - Aussies

A friend has had several Aussies and has had problems at the vet's office.
One died after it was taken in for grooming and flea dipping. She said that the only dip that can be used is that as the same for sheep???
Her daughter's dog was in for routine teeth cleaning, but the anesthsia got to him and he died.
She took her current Aussie to the vet for neutering. When he came home he was lethargic. They took him back and the doctor put him on an IV to flush his system of any anesthesia?
Does any of this sound familiar? Thank you

I have had two Aussies
My first one I had for several years and then he started to act sick and wouldn't eat, had diarrhea, and one day I came home from work and he was dead. Not sure exactly what that was all about. I kind of wonder if he had gotten into something. I Aussie I have now has never had any problems. I have had him for about 5-6 years now. No problem with my vet either. Maybe your friend should look into a different vet?
Some Australian dude! nm

definitely Australian Shepherd
they are intelligent, sensitive, kind yet capable of protecting well, very responsive...but they are not for everyone (for their need to be with you a lot, need for exercise, etc)
3/4 Red Australian Cattle dog, 1/4 Blue
3 years old. His name is Eddie

We had an Australian Blue Heeler and he
was the best dog we have ever had.
Lucky you! My niece has a red Australian Cattle Dog
and she is adorable. Name is Reggie. She was taught to ring a bell when she needed to go out and learned to do so in 2 days! She herds everyone when they are in the pool and my niece must actually stop her or she gets blisters on her little feet and is worn out! They are incredible. I know some people refer to them as Heelers as well, maybe the same thing or maybe a tad different. In any event, what a great dog!!
Australian Cattle Dog? What a wonderful picture of an s/m
obviously very happy, well taken care of dog. I wish they all had it so good! 
Australian fires and Koala rescued
It is so sad when a fire takes over and to think of the helpless animals who have no idea what is happened. This Koala story just touched me. In this link if you scroll down there is a video tape of the firefighter giving the Koala some water.

Shelties or Australian Sheep Dogs are great family dogs. rm
