    Covering sore patch on cat - animal polster?

    I’ve used it but not on cats. It was used after my horses muscle biopsy. I found it brilliant, you cut to size and stick then cover with another dressing. It really does the job. However having cats and knowing what they’re like Im 100% sure they’d keep at it till they got it off unless you...

    Ulcers/hindgut issues and unexplained hind limb lameness???

    I do. For years we couldn’t work it out. He had a myriad of problems, literally one after the other. I had a muscle biopsy done last year and he has a myopathy. So now we’re working from that. We are trialling a month on, a month off for sulcrafate. He’s on a myopathy/ulcer friendly diet. Vets...

    Gardening with muck heaps

    Spotty Dotty - Podophyllim loves shade and rich soil. She’s also a beautiful plant. Dropteris, hellebores. Lamium and persicaria will also thrive there.

    Pain/inflammation relief for 12 year old Rottie x

    I have a much larger Rottie with one leg slightly shorter than the other. She was found dumped with her leg growing at a right angle near enough. She needed a huge operation and had an external fixator for 14 weeks. She has significant arthritis in that leg. She’s nearly 9 years of age now and...

    Farrier Recommendations - Northamptonshire

    Darren Bazin. Amazing, no nonsense farrier who has made a world of difference to my horses feet. He is always early, answers his phone, replies to texts and generally just a unicorn!

    Would you buy pssm2?

    As the owner with a cob with confirmed myopathy (muscle biopsy). I would never willingly buy a horse with this. He’s a walking vet bill, in fact vets are out again today. He is never in consistent anything especially work and nothing seems to stick. Find something that helps, it triggers...

    Buttercup burn????

    Filtabac is a Godsend for buttercup burn if that’s what it is. My boy has to wear it everyday as he’s very sensitive to buttercups and sunburn. I have tried most potions but nothing works as well as filtabac

    Liver enzymes raised - Biopsy?

    My horse has had three liver biopsies. Each one showed worsening fibrosis plus regeneration. None gave a reason for why he had this although things like ragwort poisoning were ruled out. Put down to environmental issues, most likely from moulds and mycotoxins. Mycosorb A and milk thistle are now...

    £25 for 15kg

    This site will give you the breakdown on each food https://www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/ Just be aware that whilst the rating may not be particularly high compared to some feeds, it can still be a decent feed. I had a terrier who only thrived on chappie! Lived till she was about 19, maybe older...

    Polyps in cats

    Just been through this with my beautiful long haired cat. We had increasing doses of antibiotics, steroids and ear drops but it kept growing. Even when on permanent prednisone it grew. It was horrifically aggressive and most likely malignant at this point. He was booked to see an holistic vet...

    Stirrups for arthritis.

    I have quite severe arthritis and now have stress fractures in both tibias. I have started seeing a private physiotherapist and she advised looking for recommendations for stirrups suitable for arthritic joints. I cannot ride for a while so have a few weeks to get an idea of what’s what. Thank you.
