My dog was attacked by a offlead dog about a month ago on one of our usual walks. As soon as it saw us it came charging towards us. Horrible scary experience. After much swearing from me, and the owner giving his dog a good kicking, he apologized profusely but said he needs to let him off...

My horse was scoped and shown to have ulcers a couple of years ago (in the lower part of the stomach, cant remember the name). Treatment was antepsin only and it worked brilliantly. The ulcers have come back judging by behaviour (maybe they never totally healed) and I have tried cimitridine...

Yep she said the patent had lapsed but not the patent for the actual coating.

I don't know how true this is but my vet told me that although GG and Peptizole contain the same ingredient, the actual coating used to deliver the omeprazole (not sure how that works with a syringed gel) is different as the GG people still have a patent on that. She wasn't convinced that the...

Oops... I'm going to pop a muzzle on for the 30 sec walk from stable to trailer via a nice juicy grass verge :)

I've doubled checked the trailer for stray hay, and I'm going to pop a muzzle on f

Gastro plus sounds pretty amazing for a supplement...

Yep have insurance thank goodness! :)

You're right! Just needed someone to say that!! I'll just not look at him :)

How long were you told to fast for? Iv been told 16hrs.... Just seems so long!! Should I stick to it religiously?? Part of me thinks yes no point having to do it again, and the soft/guilty/paranoid side of me thinks give him an extra couple of hours grazing. Someone give me a boot up the bum...

Good idea with the bucket of chaff.... That sounds much cleaner than the Haynet I thought I would stick in my boot !
