The vet should have realised your dog wasn't ready for the procedure.  Have you enquired yet about his rabies shots which he will need before coming to Australia?  Your  dog must be vaccinated against rabies AT LEAST 180 days prior to travel. 

Yes his had the rabies vaccine and is waiting for the 21 days to expire so he can get bloods done

One of our two is the same, only with most strangers (due to fear). We chose Golden Arrow for pet shipping. I was also petrified that some poor  kennel worker or airport vet would get a nasty shock, but Golden Arrow advised that in their experience the 'difficult' dogs were often much better when their owners were not present. I was dubious to say the least.

However, after a couple of hours at their kennels he was eating out of their hands. They had no trouble with him, not did the vet at Heathrow. He was perfectly well behaved when we picked him up at Mickleham, and there were no reports there had been any issues during his stay. I had been advised not to put a warning note on his cage, in case the quarantine station refused to take him due to 'health and safety'. 

Sadly, his angelic behaviour ended as soon as he arrived home, and now he won't even let our vet scan his microchip...

Thank you so much, you have actually made me feel a lot less worried now. Il give golden arrow a call and see if they are interested. 
All the best for the future to you and your fury babies 

His leg had been cut quite bad from some metal sticking out of rubbish.Took him to emergency vet . They sedated and asked me to wait ,after waiting only 10mins they called him back in and proceeded to staple his leg when you could clearly see he was still very un sedated ,after  number two it was game over all hell broke loose and I even got a nip by sticking my hand in the line of fire trying to protect the useless vet. Ever since whenever he goes to the vet for his 6month check ups and boosters etc.. or whatever it is as soon as that vet approaches his hole body becomes tense the second they come in firing line he goes nuts. 
 

Hi guys 

im bringing my dog along with me to oz and I am really worried as he has had a bad experience with a bad vet and now whenever a vet only approach even just to check a heat beat he totally freaks out trying to attack the vet. (No other signs of aggression atall it is only when vet approach)

so I’m really worried that once he arrives in quarantine and gets whatever examinations they do his going to freak. Normally I’m there able to restrain him (sort of  his a big Rottweiler) and if he bites a vet would they put him down. Could I have a note with him saying sedate before handling is that possible as I’m so worried this could go horribly wrong.

any advice would be massively appreciated

Thats a good idea I suppose it would still beat renting. I suppose il have to wait and see really untill I’m there speaking with mortgage lenders etc..

Hi guys and girls

im coming over in June to do a 2yr course so will be on a student visa (I’m from uk) but then plan to stay after with various other visa options 

so my question is can I buy a house as a student  say house worth $600K-$700k with deposit of $200 Gold Coast area 

obviously having student visa would only be able to work part time 20hours a week 

wife could work 20hours a week also 

any advice would be massively appreciated as don’t really want to waste loads of money renting for years. 
thank you 

It is a worry I am aware of these things but without actually going for it I will always have the what if going over in my head. So I suppose with no risk comes no reward.

iprey they don’t remove carpentry off the list 

im doing a 2yr carpentry course in June this year have already enrolled at Tafe .

Ok about 3- 4 weeks is not to bad.

regarding pathway after 2yr course I would be taking work ready program 1yr-1 1/2yr then applying for the new 491 a 5 yr provisional with potential for PR after 3yr. 
long road ahead I’m sure it’s the right choice 

.hi guys 

I will be arriving in oz early June time on a student visa and wondered how long it would take me to secure a place of rent as I will be going for a house as family will be joint me. 
 

so basically once i have found one I like how long does the paper work take before you get keys. As don’t want to be paying for hotels for months. 
 

also will being on a student visa effect my chances even though I 30 not a 18 yr old student lol .

any advice would be great I would be looking for a 5 bedroom also around the Gold Coast area if that helps atall with explaining my situation.

cheers guys 

Hiya
I would need to prove 8 years as only have a level 1 nvq but would £475 A month be enough proof for a skills assessment as the income is so low. ?

Hi guys,

I am in process of doing a skilled visa and will require a skills assessment to transfer qualifications etc...

my problem is that from 2008 October I earned cash up to January 2012.  Then from 2012 I earned £475 monthly as an employee for my dad as we had a deal he would save up the difference for my deposit for my house, Hence the low income. That was all the way up to may 2017 then I became director of my dads building company and was payed £960 monthly up to today’s date. 
my issue is I’m worried that they won’t except my cash work as I can’t prove it with tax records. 
I can get references for the cash work but would that be enough. 

Also would they except my low income as evidence aswell seeing as I was on £475 a month while my dad saved the money for me for my deposit for house “Was the only way I could save as I’m terrible with money” 

any advice would be massively appreciated thank you
