I did wonder if the discharge could be an infection, rather than being in season. She's fine in herself and keeping weight on well so I was hoping she's okay. She is weeing and drinking a lot too which I've read can be associated with cushings. I think I'm going to book her in with the vet.

My elderly mare is 24. I've owned her since she was five. This winter she has been in season every few weeks. She is in season at the moment which seems very odd. She is never normally in season this time of year. She has been in season so much that I have to keep washing her back legs as she...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. My cat has been back to the vets this morning and they're pleased with his progress. He can open his eye It's badly scratched but thankfully they don't think it's perforated. He's had a bit of wet food and some biscuits. I've been able to give him his...

Thanks. I think he's going to be in for a while whilst he recovers. I'll see what the vet says tomorrow and have a think about what to do. I'm just really upset that he's been hurt.

My cat has been attacked by another cat and is very unwell. He has an eye injury and is covered in bites. He's been to the vets for treatment and we're taking him back tomorrow morning for another check up possibly a referral, if he isn't improving. It's really upset me as he looks in a bad way...

My horse has recently had a small corneal ulcer which has taken over 6 weeks to heal. Even though it was small he ended up having an SPL fitted as it didn't heal at all with drops. My vets have said he seems to have a very poor healing rate. After the SPL was removed his eyelid/ face wasn't...

I really think there will be an accident. I haven't even tried to bring my horse through on a couple of days as the geldings were galloping around before I even tried to get her out of the field. The yard owner won't swap them around because the geldings are full liveries which are stabled at...

I really would like to avoid moving yards if possible as I have been very happy and my horse was settled up until now. I understand that trying to accommodate everyone is difficult. My horse can be a bit sensitive but I've never had a problem leading her to and from the field before, even with...

I've been very happy at my current livery yard for nearly three years. I'm on DIY and the yard owner has always been helpful when I've needed someone to look after my horse and a trustworthy person that I am happy to leave my horse in the care of. The problem I'm having is that there have...

Can anyone recommend a barefoot trimmer who covers the Derbyshire area?

That sounds good. She is very good in hand so I'm sure we could get round the lanes. I do a lot of walking anyway so I'll be fine too! I really want to start enjoying riding again. Its been about two years since she was in full work and I just feel like i don't know where to start.

I would try and get some help but I don't have any spare money at the moment and don't have anyone who would be willing to exercise her for free. She is very much a one person horse and in the past has been very difficult when someone who isn't used to her rides her. I am going to try to find...

My horse has had a long period where I didn't ride her very much. In Jun/Jul 2015 she had a severe hoof abscess and was very lame. Her hoof eventually healed and I started riding her again but she was unlevel due to muscular problems caused by being very lame for three months with her hoof. So I...
