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…

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…

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…

Dog fouling on my front garden
I moved into a house on a small estate in June. I only know a few of my neighbours and they do not have dogs. Between June til present day an irresponsible dog owner has been letting their dog leave deposits on my open plan front lawn. I've reported this several times to the council via their website. I've tried sprinkling…

Moving with cats - advice?
Hi all, it looks like we could be moving in a few months, complete with the menagerie that has grown up around us. HELP! Not all of them come in the house all the time and one in particular is a ratty old stray Tom we kind of feel responsible for. Two others are particularly nervous, one of them seems to have another home…

Vet fees and the law
:money:Pet owners deserve the right to see every veterinary practice clearly displaying their set fees for jabs, procedures and any of the services offered to the paying public. It is a disgrace that legislation has not been passed making it mandatory and a legal requirement to display and publish these charges. We DEMAND…

How Do You Complain About a Vet?
Quick summary. Our dog, Patch, had Addison's Disease that meant two tablets every day. In 2016 the vet tells us one tablet is now no longer being made and we need her to get an injection every 30 days. With blood tests etc this set us with a monthly cost we agreed to pay at £87 a month, Ouch! A few days before the first…

Put to sleep or potential life saving surgery

Fast forward to today and we have found out he has a lump/tumour…

How do you catch a bat?
This one may solve itself, but meanwhile, any useful suggestions. A bat has somehow got into my spare bedroom. It must have been brought in by one of the cats. First I heard a loud bump upstairs so went to look thinking a cat had knocked something over. Then I saw the bat flying in circles. The only opening window is a…
