Will give it a go, she’s very almost at the end of the oil bottle. I put her on it as she gets quite dandruffy and the linseed helps with that. But I’d rather dandruff then her be miserable itching

No not tested, I will speak to vet about that though. It started before she came in, she was still living out when this started a week and half ago. Last year we did remove all bedding and left her on rubber matting only, this was to rule out allergies to the bed. But nothing changed and she’s...

Thank you, she is being clipped this week. She was clipped through summer and also hogged. I do try to let her skin breathe and where possible I will tie her up with a net and take the rug off and let her have some naked time! She did have bibs and things under her rugs last year. I also do...

Yes she is rugged all year round (because she suffers with SI in warmer months) all washed in the same things, she’s not itchy much in the summer. Seems to be the winter coat change which causes the extreme itchiness. Vet is out next Friday to inject hocks anyway so will ask them again, but we...

Yes she was on 30 tablets a day last autumn and winter and it didn’t make a difference.

Sorry should have said. She’s fed on a balancer with a hand full of chopped oat straw, black salt, brewers yeast and linseed oil.

Hello all, long time no speak! I hope everyone is doing well? I’ve turned into a bit of a lurker on here. Very exciting news, I have returned to Horses full time with a full loan. The Horse I have been sharing for 3 years came up for full loan and I jumped at the chance. She’s a beautiful 15.1...

Thank you, I have started today and poking small bits of cooked chicken through the gap when he puts his nose in. Will do it again later and then tomorrow will add some doggy peanut butter in and fasten it for a minute and keep repeating

Thank you all :) Ralph is now home and has made a full recovery. Vets tried on some muzzles for size and also recommended the baskerville which is what they tried on him

Vets have just text me that he has responded well to fluids and is more settled but will still be closely monitored throughout the night.

Thank god I took him in early. He was fine on rest of walk. But within 10 mins of us being home he was swaying and leaning on the cabinet to keep himself up right and then he fell on his side so got him straight in the car and to the vets.

Had to leave him at the vets as it turns out the human poop he ate was also full of cannabis. They said he brought up quite a lot but was trembling and very unsteady on his legs. They are keeping him overnight for close monitoring and he is having iv drips and charcoal. Very expensive walk!

Thank you that is a good idea. I will take him tomorrow. Currently waiting in the vets waiting room as he hasn’t eaten a bag of someone’s poop including the bag. The vet nurses have taken him out the back to be sick

Hi all, After a bit of advice around muzzles Sadly it is time I got Ralph the beagle a muzzle, he has ended up 3 times in the vets for eating things he shouldn’t on walks. Even on lead he scavenges for everything. He knows the leave it command but if he really wants something he will get it.

Thank you, I’ll give them a call and also look into the flea bombs
