Just wanted to know if anyone has any experience of a tumour in the udder - we have been treating for months with antibiotics with the vet thinking it was mastitis, we have swab tested every month to check the bacteria type and levels and have altered the type of antibiotics to suit. We had...

Not sure how to take this to be honest so opinions welcome. Neighbors of 20+ years across the road from me, organized a low-level dressage event and invited various local people but left me out - not sure why I was not included but they do have a history of making spiteful comments at times...

I have 5 ex battery hens, no idea how old they are but i have had them for a year. Over the last month they are not laying so much now. They are also loosing feather and looking a bit scraggy. Is this normal ?

i have been though this with my mare, we tried everything to get the infection under control last year. Managed to reduce to a reasonable level. the next step was kerosene wash out. Without this the vet said she had very little chance of maintaining a pregnancy. Having spent a lot of money...

Although there is one case in our village there are a lot more in the surrounding area hence my terminology! I believe this case has been managed correctly and agree with you on prevention and precautions

How lovely that he now has a loving home ! All I can add is that he was clever enough to find you and work out how to use the cat flap hopefully it wont be too long before he masters the cat litter tray !

I have a 30yr old arab that has not had lami but tested positive for cushings, all I can say is that in 2 weeks of taking the drug he has improved so much and he now is back to his 20 yr old self. Keep up with it ! I am amazed at the difference.

what a lovely horse, she was well ridden by your pro, someone is going to have a lot of fun with her. Its nice to see some uptons Deli offspring out and competing if she turns out anything like him she will be a super star !

and me but as you say difficult to find, bought my last ones in a sale. Do you have any recomendations ?

I hate it !! I dread every winter for this reason

she claims complete denial to anything that happened, its all a bunch of lies, no dead horses and no severe neglect ???? The RSPCA really should be brought to account in all this, they have let down everyone concerned in this case !!

Thanks Dunlin, I was so taken by his whole attitude and really interested in his recovery
