Dog With An Allergy
My poor little pooch (he is almost 6) has on three occasions over the past 6 months come out in a skin rash. Initially we thought along with the vet it was an allergy to something he was coming into contact with outside, and this could still be the cause. On two occasions he was treated with Steroids and Antibiotics and…

Hip issues in German Shepherd
Hi I apologise in advance if this is a long post but I will try and keep it as brief as possible. I have a 10 year old German Shepherd girl and about 5 weeks ago she started having issues with her rear legs. Coincidently this was the day after my husband suddenly died. She isn't insured because she is too old. I've taken…

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?

Hello, I'm posting here in desperation, hoping that someone has had a similar experience and can suggest something I haven't already tried.

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. Their boundary, their hedge over my drive, my chainsaw. Their cat comes through our garden all the time. I've seen it pooing, marking up my herbs,…

greyhound lump
my greyhound developed a lump about 3 months ago on his neck about the size of a grape the bottom of his jawline. Antibiotics cleared it up, but then it returned a week later!! He had an op under sedation to drain it, the vet suspected a foreign body (grass seed) but didn't find anything inside when she operated. All fine…

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…

Wondering if anybody can help me, I was out with my dogs the other day when I bumped into a couple with two Bassett Hounds. We were chatting about them (I have one and a crossbreed) and then mentioned a local charity that was having a dog walk in Farnham next weekend which I believe was to raise money. I have totally…
