Another thumbs up for Eric Gillie ?

Nah, after 2 seasons of having regular chasse days in the woodland on the other side of the lane to us, my lot are so used to the horns and shooting and shouty, pissed up, idiotic Frenchmen that they barely lift their heads out of their hay! ?

Manufacturers of Zantac and most generics have issued recalls so shouldn’t be available to buy online atm.

and in France the norm for small bales seems to be 12-15kg. I paid €0.75/bale this year and mine are at least 15kg. That’s cheap though, most of the hay I’ve seen for sale locally is €1.50-2.00.

This was me a few years ago when I lived in Yorkshire. My yard was halfway up a valley and the vet was all “avoid hills”. :confused: I’m having a nice big hard standing made next month. No more mud. Cannot. Wait. Next on the list is a washbox.

I'd Liverpool cream it - get rid asap before it gets bigger or spreads. In a youngster it might well not come back if treated early (one of mine had a nodular sarcoid treated with LC at 5, he's now 8 and sarcoid free) and as a buyer I'd be more likely to buy a horse with that history if it...

I tried ours with sardines in tomato sauce tonight - big hit! :)

We have two almost 1-year olds who are lean. They're really healthy, just really active and not too interested in food atm because they're constantly catching 'snacks'. Our old cat was the same and he never got fat no matter what we fed him - our vet recommended we worm him more often than the...

Hope this works - fur babies at 3 days old. ycbm - sorry but we're in Normandy :)

Thanks! Yes, I think I'll pop to the vets in the village later and ask. And yes, will take her to the vets to have her scanned to see if she's chipped, just don't want to upset her at the moment. I've already recruited help homing the kittens from a local rescue. I'm a bit smitten with mama so...

A very skinny, very hungry, very pregnant stray walked into my kitchen last Thursday demanding food. She had 5 kittens on Friday and they're all currently living in my utility room. Mama was full of ticks, which I've gotten rid of, but she also has worms. Is it safe to worm a lactating cat? TIA :)

^this. We have water, lots of trees and deer so tick heaven. I’ve tried just about every horse tick repellent on the market since we moved here last year and nothing works so it’s twice daily tick checks with my trusty tick o’tom for the horses, cats and me. I’ve always used Frontline...

I thought so! Saw her on their website a while ago. Love their ponies, a friend of mine bred their (retired now I think?) stallion Bertie Wooster. Kitten is absolutely gorgeous, you're very lucky indeed. Hope you have lots of fun with her and look forward to seeing your updates. :)

She's so puurty! Random qu - is she from the Heald Town stud by any chance?

My 2-and-a-half year old by H Tobago (bought as a yearling) is currently only 14.1hh (dam is 15.1hh, sire was 15.2hh). He’s fab though so he’s a keeper!
