    Dog found tied to fence in Guildford 29/12/2014

    I help with a rescue local to me. Vets are notorious for missing chips. Would be worth checking the whole dog again, with at least two makes of reader. Particularly around the shoulders, elbows, fore chest, and front leg. We have found chips even migrate to the side of the neck behind the...

    Dog found tied to fence in Guildford 29/12/2014

    Hope the person who is holding this dog has posted on "doglost". The actual owner could well be searching for this. You don't know if it was found by someone running scared and they managed to get hold of it and tied in to the fence thinking someone else would take care of it.

    Anyone heard of this? Foal going blind!!

    Has had thousands of shares on FB. Hope they do find a cause. There is no optic nerve damage, no ulceration, or any visual damage. Have heard of similar cases in the USA, only a few, but all were Lepto infected.

    Giving cocaine to horses?

    Trainers D Wayne Lucas and Laz Barrera in the USA ran horses in the late 1980's that allegedly were found to have cocaine in urine samples, there were 2 or 3 other trainers also charged (who had connections to these two) at the time. They always denied it. And charges were later dropped.

    what will vet’s next step be? poorly boy still..

    Has anyone ever done a thyroid evaluation? Many years ago I treated a dog with similar patterns, despite being treated for all the symptoms over the years by various vets not one had ever done a basic thyroid test. The dog turned out to be hypo-thyroid which triggered auto-immune responses...

    Should dogs be banned at major events? NEW POLL - ignore the previous thread/poll

    Yes most definately. However for those who continue to ignore such a ban a dog creche could be in place outside the public entrance. Often at Ch dog shows these are run by local dog charities and for a fee the dogs should be left there.

    CLARE BALDING RUINS IT FOR WOMEN PRESENTERS...

    At least Clare has dress sense, it may not be to everyones taste or the highest "fashion" but she is smart, and appropriate in her outfit choices. And you dont have to reduce the brightness of the screen to stop the orange glare off a fake tan as we were tempted to do at the weekend.

    2012 Olympics: when the "master race" within UK equestrianism ate the seed corn

    Mithras - as the legal beagle on HHO. Is RM treading on thin ice here with racist implied comments on "master race", and libellous claims of theft (electricity and whatever)?
