    Dogs and eggs

    My elderly bitch put on lots of weight for no reason, that was until I saw her waiting in the hayshed for a naughty hen who was laying in there instead of her nesting box. In fact quite a few were doing that, goodness knows how many raw eggs she was eating. When i have a glut i make a huge pot...

    This! and I think it is awful they are pressuring you to consent to major surgery on a 13 year old dog. It does not sound like it is in her best interests. They have absolutely no right to do this and in the meantime giving you feelings of guilt I imagine. Totally disgraceful. I am sorry you...

    2 year old filly being a big %%**

    Sounds like the grass is an issue. I would try the muzzle and also give her some magnesium there must be products in the UK for grass affected horses. Also get a rope halter and do some ground work with her, you will have much more control. You don't need to put up with her dangerous bad...

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? (Working student)

    Hosts also need to be careful, it is a bit of a lottery, some are great ie 75% whilst the remaining 25% can be very lazy and disinterested, more than once I have asked them to move on.

    Dogs and horse wormers

    Me neither, but after worming I always put the empty syringe back in the box and put it straight into the dustbin so no chance of getting at it.

    Does anyone still feed a mix?

    High protein and fibre. Its normally micronised or flaked. My friend was was really struggling with her TB and started feeding it after trying everything else and the difference is amazing plus his coat has gone really dark.

    CDJ withdrawn from paris

    agree 100% with the over thinking. I am horrified at people buying horses and they have actually no idea about what is normal horse behavior and think the horse is a problem, when they are in fact the problem due to their lack of knowledge. So sad for the horse.
