Walking a difficult dog
Hello folks, I would be grateful for advice from dogwalkers or others. A dear friend has been in hospital but is now home though it's going to be a long while until she is fully strong again. To help out I've been taking her dog out during the week and occasionally having her to stay at my house (the dog I mean!). Her…

Pet Insurance
Renewal time and I'm shopping around because 1) premiums have gone up (annual increase, no claims made) 2) the level of cover is no longer sufficient (want £5k plus per condition) 3) our vet isn't dealing with our insurer directly any more which raises red flags We're currently with Animal Friends. They have mixed reviews,…

Pet insurance / first vet visit
I'd been feeding a feral cat that I had to get a cat rescue charity to take when she became ill whilst pregnant. The charity had her neutered etc. told me that she was too wild to be rehomed & so returned her to my garden- except they also had her microchipped with me as the owner! Now I feel fully responsible for her & so…

Cost of keeping guinea pigs?
Another GP related post! For those who haven't seen my other post, our DD would very much like to get 2 guinea pigs. We've costed up the price of the initial cage, and the guinea pigs themselves, but what should we expect to budget per week/month for their 'running' costs? Things like food (I believe they need hay, pellets…

Poisonous plant?
I caught my dog nibbling away at the pyrocanthus berries today. It's been a great year for all fruits and there are plenty of them down at his level. I've been told that they're poisonous to dogs, but I can't find anything definitive. Has anyone else seen their dog doing this, and if so, were there any ill effects?

Plastic in wood shavings
Hi I bought a bale of wood shavings for my hamster a couple of weeks back and found a plastic object in it for metal spikes sticking out if it, was about the size of 10p. It's so lucky I spotted it, had he of eaten it he would be dead. I contacted pets at home and they cannot identify the object and said that they cannot…

Feeling empty......
Today we made the difficult decision to have our kitty put to sleep. He was diagnosed in early August with a nasal tumour. Some can be treated with chemo but not his particular one. Surgery was also out of the question because of where the mass was situated. I'm not sure I could have put him through treatment anyway. He…

Cat with lump
In the early hours of this morning, I noticed my 2 year old cat has a lump just behind her shoulderblades, next to her spine. She had her booster vaccination on 9th, could it be due to that? It does bother her if I prod it too much, but not if I stroke her over it & it feels about the size of a malteser I guess, tho…

Insurance for accidents only (dogs)
Before I start ringing around insurance companies, does anyone know of any companies that would insure a senior (10+) dog for accident and injuries and third party only. In horses this is quite common. Although she's still in great shape, OH and I have decided that we wouldn't put our older dog through any long-term…

Cat Clawing Carpet
I'd appreciate any suggestions for stopping one of my cats clawing the carpet. I have two cats, one of whom chooses the carpet in preference to any more appropriate scratch pad/post. Lupin is delighted with the selection of scratchable items we now have - Albus turns her nose up at them all and attempts to get to Australia…

Worming/Flea/Ticks
Morning! Writing on behalf of my mother who has three dogs (I know right!) She currently pays £12 per dog for Vets4Pets Complete Care which is £432 per year. Her dogs are all three years old, and spaniels. As she's just retired she is looking to reduce costs. £432 a year sound a lot doesn't it? I saw on an old post that…

Postoperative young spaniel
Our 11 month spaniel is supposed to be taking it easy post spaying after a case of pyometra (yes, she's VERY young for it). But spaniel and taking it easy don't fit together very well, and two days after coming home she's bouncing off the walls ... and the furniture .... and us ... with boredom and pent up energy. We've…
