I knew this thread wouldn’t disappoint when I saw the title 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bought my old boy terrier à lovely cosy bed with a built in blanket (he has to be covered at all times!), thinking it would help him - and me, as he paws pathetically at his blanket and then just stares at me until I wrap him in it! (Manages to wrap himself up fine when I’m not around though...

I’d suspect KS personally. So common in ex racers. What makes me more suspicious is that he goes ok without a rider… the added weight of the rider can make the already-close spinous processes impinge more, causing pain. You’ve done the right thing booking the lameness work up, it’s horrible...

The wonder dust seemed to work for me! Worth a go, I’d say, especially if she’s getting antsy about messing with it now.

I think 15 is a grand old age. Better à week too soon than à day too late. I’m so sorry you’re facing this decision. I absolutely agree with your thoughts rhat you don’t want the end to wind up as an emergency vet visit scenario, which would be so much more traumatic for you all. Hope your...

🤢🤢🤢 One can only hope their dog threw it back up on their carpet when they got home 🤣

I sold my mare last year and - despite missing the routine and daily horsey fix - I’m so glad I did it. Prices of everything shooting up, there always being some compromise on a livery yard, other horsey people being mentalists, never quite knowing whether you can trust your professionals… the...

I really rate Canagan. My fussy one eats it reliably, it’s fine for his sensitive tummy, and it’s the only food my lurcher has been on that ensures she has healthy, non-sloppy poos.

Aw I’m sorry to hear about Eira 🫂

Are you on Facebook? There’s a “sight hounds and high prey drive” training group - I don’t have Facebook any more so can’t link to it sorry. Lots of free resources on there that might help you though. If my maths is right he’s about 9 months old? He’s a high energy adolescent. He will come...

I saw this and honestly it just made me so glad I’m out of horses now. Nothing surprises me any more; it still breaks my heart though.

If you do send him to retirement livery, just make sure you’re able to visit to check him regularly, and preferably unannounced.

My cleaner told me this week that her on-lead dog got attacked by an off-lead dog (which has attacked multiple dogs before), and the owner screamed at her and said it was her own fault for having her dog on the lead 🤯🤯🤯 dog has a puncture wound and was very withdrawn for a week or so after it...

Passed a woman with a beagle on a lane today. Mine were in a heel as we passed, beagle lunged across the lead at end of lead barking at them. She said “ooh what’s that about” and other things the dog wouldn’t understand. Fairly sure I’ve passed her before, somewhere else, and it did the same...

My mum’s dog got an abscess following her yearly booster - think it happened two years in a row actually. Looked just like that. Can’t actually remember what happened/what treatment it needed, was def a vet job though.
