Frenchie - cost of sedation and ear cleaning
Hi - just looking for some advice on vet fees. My frenchie has had constant ear infections since March. The past two infections have been treated using osurnia gel. To begin with this has worked well but a few weeks later it returns. To avoid any reoccurrence the vet has suggested that we sedate him and clean the ear…

Long-distance move with an anxious cat
Update in post #18 We are considering a long-distance relocation. Approx 300 miles and 6 hours by car including wee stops (for us, not kitty!). One of the things making me hesitate is thinking 'how do we move our beloved kitty?' :eek: Has anyone done it and what were the logistics? I think I've read before that vets can…

Reporting dog for neglect?
We have a dog that pretty much all day will be out in the streets. When we first moved here we thought it was stray dog but upon trying to walk toward him, he ran off. He's pretty scared of people. We've been here 3 years now and he's still roaming around. We live in a residential area with a main road at the bottom of our…

Dogs teeth removal / full extraction
Hi all, We have an 11 year old male chihuahua cross bichon. He has had bad teeth for a while now - he had 9 teeth removed about 5 years ago and I fear the vet will say he needs the rest removed. To be fair she advised this one year ago. I had reservations about this as he is very small and was worried with his age about a…

How much care/time do a pair of (indoor) guinea pigs need?
My DD very much wants guinea pigs for her 8th birthday. We were all up for it, until I read this article stating they need at least(!) two hours a day (cleaning, feeding, playing with etc.). I just wanted to do a spot check with others who already keep them to see if this figure is accurate? For those who do keep guinea…

Shop bought guinea pigs sick
Sorry for the long post. We recently bough 2 baby guinea pigs from a well known chain pet store. Shortly after purchase, we noticed one was coughing, sneezing and breathing loudly. A week later, the other developed scabs on his ear. We took them both to a vet, the sneezing one was prescribed antibiotics and…

Do puppy pads stay dry on top?
We'll be moving our cats 1.5 hours in the new year, and one of them recently wet himself on the 15 min journey home from the vets. I was wondering whether a puppy pad would absorb any liquid but meant he still felt dry sat on top? It's not the end of the world if we can't find a solution; normally I'd just have a towel in…

Cat - ear problem
Our 15 year old male cat has started pawing his ear and shaking his head - I am assuming that he has an ear infection Is it worth trying http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/antibacterial-ear-drops-and-cleanser-18ml-for-cats-and-dogs-by-vetzyme or should we take him to the vets tomorrow ?

Can I ask for Neighbour's Dogs to be Kept on a Lead
Hi, We live next to a farmer's field where one woman walks her dogs off the lead. Her dogs keep getting into our garden, and I am scared they might do something to our dogs. One is a Jack Russell, which is a breed I don't trust entirely as one had its jaws around my dog's neck once when walking in the park. The other dog…

How much is it for a cat check up at the vets?
Hi all, we adopted a cat a few weeks ago (1 year old) and sometimes she wees and poos on the sofa, I've changed her litter tray and given her an extra one and she seemed fine for a while and now she wees in her litter tray and then poos on the sofa. I have tried some home remedies and so far nothing has stopped her pooping…

Best cheap cat litter?
Hi folks, I don't normally post over here but as it's a cat thing I thought you might be able to help! I have recently moved house and no longer have a cat flap (it's rented so I can't put one in). My 4.5 year old boy likes being indoors and won't go outside for more than about 5 minutes - he's a timid lad. So, obviously,…

Can cats diet affect my allergies?
I’m sure I read somewhere that changing a cats diet can have an affect on allergies suffered by the cats owner. Is that true? Or just another one of those made up internet things? Reason I ask is this week I’ve re-developed an allergy to my 14 year old cat. I’ve had him since he was two weeks old, hand reared him. He was…

Grooming a short hair cat.

She seems to have really hick short hair with maybe a winter coat still underneath with a few mats on her back legs, anyone have tips on how to brush her without getting eaten or clawed in the process... I love cats…

Doggy treats
I expect all us dog-lovers are prone to rewarding our pets with the occasional treat for being well-behaved, or perhaps even just "being" there for us. However, I watched a neighbour's dog gradually deteriorate by being overweight and eventually expiring in due (in part) to liver failure due to his owner feeding it…

No more pets.
My rabbit has just died. He was nearly 11 years old. We lost our Westie a few weeks ago aged over 17. That is it, no more, I cannot take the loss. Feeling stupidly emotional as my brother is seriously ill as well. Sometimes I hate life.
