Oh no. So sorry to hear you had to deal with a tear on top of everything! :( Thanks be I dodged that one - so far, anyway. Lots of sympathy,...
Well, just driven him to Cornwall for the weekend - OH is convinced that sea air and plenty of sea swims is the answer. Charlie agrees - yes, yes,...
It's easier to find the vein if you shave the fur but it can be done without. I'd rather he had a bit of fur shaved than a vet had to have a few...
I have long thought the problem is London and in particular the Plane trees, but even if so I'll have to find something that helps.
Neither of my dogs 'ask' to go out - I just give them the opportunity to go out to toilet before they are desperate enough to try to figure out...
You haven't had a puppy recently whereas my arms and hands are very newly healed up - although the scars remain. Grown up dogs are much nicer than...
It's not too bad, really. Just this year a bit worse than normal and I don't want to leave it, thinking best not to mess about with eyes that...
And, by the way, neither my Chocolate dog nor my Yellow dog from Black carrying Chocolate have pedigrees with even a smidge of dodgy hobby breeder...
I think that the likelihood of temperament being linked to genes controlling colour is unlikely to the point of being far fetched. And don't...
I wouldn't take Betsy to something like this for love nor money! She wouldn't be stressed, she would LOVE it. And yes, it would undo all my...
I think this is really tricky - and so difficult to get right. I think a chat with your vet could only help to guide you. For what it's worth, I...
Charlie's eyes have always been a bit 'funny' - often slightly irritated. We had several bottles of ABs from the vet - made no difference. Have...
HeeHee. So been there - Charlie never gets the chance these days (well, unless he is with OH :rolleyes::D ). 3.5 years I've been at it, and I...
Yes, but not one that showed in a skin problem. Charlie developed an intolerance to chicken, and he had been fed on a chicken and rice puppy food....
I can not only feel Charlie's ribs, I can see the last one easily and two or three of them clearly when he turns. I can feel his backbone pretty...
Oh my goodness! Poor baby. I hope she is more comfy soon. I'm sure the expense is a worry :( but good for you doing the right thing and getting...
No, you'd just get bitten to death by the crocopups! :D You'd crawl out, battered and bleeding....
You know, something @heidrun said a little while ago I think is very helpful - her spaniel is off lead only to do something. A retrieve, to hunt...
It sounds like Stanley doesn't understand his verbal take it cue, the cue is you handing him something, not the word. So you need to rework your...
This is a bit strange, really - most puppies will dive towards a bowl of food. What is she waiting for I wonder if nothing has been trained?...
