Hi Our rottie was diagnosed when she was around 8 months old - we were sent to a hip specialist by our vet after we had asked for a second opinion. I was sure that he would advise us to PTS as our own vet had done and was in bits but the guy was very realistic with us - his waiting room was...

As a family only me and my daughter were horsey - that was until we got my daughter her first pony. The very first night she was here OH decided about 10.00 it was turning cold so he offered to go down and put a rug on her after about 45 minutes he still wasn't back from the field and I was...

My daughter was 13 when she found her pony in the field with a broken leg - the pony was her first pony and she had been with us for nearly 5 years when the accident happened. My daughter stood with her pony as the vet made the diagnosis and gave us the inevitable outcome. The vet was very...

We have had several different breeds of dog over the years and by far the softest of them all was our rottie who we lost last November at the age of 11. We got her as an 8 week old pup and introduced her to our 2 cocker spaniels one of which was very elderly , she used to love going out to...

I watched the program and to be honest I wasn't convinced about any of it During the program a lot of hints were dropped about Clwyd's mental health and that the loss of his child had started all of the problems he was having - to be honest what I saw was a 'switched on' wily old man who was...

My family live close to the sanctuary and a couple of years ago when we were visiting they thought it would be an idea to take my kids there so they could see the animals - to be honest I thought that the animals seemed to be kept in cramped and dirty conditions and we left pretty quickly. I...

We had a similar problem a couple of years ago, the OH made up an offical looking sign on the computer stating that the horses were recieving attention from the vet for a contagious condition and pinned it to the gate. Funnily enough that stopped the visits and we had no more problems

Hi There is a dealer who advertises on Preloved and they are based in Crowle - don't know anything about them but have seen their adverts when I have been browsing. Hippo

Confused- the doctor and the physio are concerned about the amount of movement I have in my shoulder and elbow joints - when they are manipulating them they are able to put them past the point they should be able to and due to the lack of feeling I have in my arm I don't know when the joints are...

Hi confused, I am in Yorkshire - initially I was referred as my GP thought I had carpal tunnel- I have seen several specialists and had lots of tests before they came up with TOS - they cannot find the extra rib on the x rays so they wanted me to have physio before anything else due to the...

Hi there, I was diagnosed with this last year after initially being told I had carpal tunnel - I was sent to a physio to see if exercise improved things but to be honest it doesn't seem to have made a difference so I am due to go back in May to discuss the surgery option, but I'm not sure...
