My cat's got a loose fang!
Noticed something from her mouth yesterday but she wouldn't let me look and I thought it was a bit of dribble. She's had no trouble eating not even hard cat crunchies. But she's suffered from gingivitis since she was a kitten and has already had a few teeth removed. Anyway while I was stroking her this morning I noticed…

Buying a dog
We'd really like to buy a springer spaniel puppy but one of our friends is really anti-breeders and thinks we should only buy from a rescue centre. Can anyone enter into a debate as to why breeding is so bad for dogs and can someone also tell me why so many breeders dock tails?
