Lumps on Dog - cancer
Hi there, Our dog went to the vet recently, and was diagnosed with breast cancer purely down to the fact she has lumps. Is this how vets do this, they do not perform any other tests, they see lump and automatically it is always cancer?

Dogs vs Cats in neighbour's garden?
Hello, I'm a dog person, I have two. The neighbour is a cat person and has one big fat spoiled mean cat. Ironically we don't get on because of laughable hedge boundary issues.

Stupid question of the day - heating broken down - kitty OK?
Don't laugh. :p Our boiler broke down on Tuesday evening. We've had no heating for 36 hours and the house is now COLD. We borrowed a couple of electric convector heaters last night to heat the lounge and our bedroom a bit, but we don't want to leave those on while we're out at work. Now, I *know* kitties go outside in…

Dog with dodgy tum
My lovely terrier cross rescue Pipsqueak has a dodgy tum. I've no idea what's caused it as usually she has a very strong stomach, apart from a bout of colitis a couple of months ago.
