The Extra Lovely (un)intelligible Totally Elitist thread

I love the fact that I no longer need the receipt for Tesco PP now, I picked up 4 or 5 receipts that were really to dirty/wet to present but i could still read the bottom bit to get a PP on

I can't help you find 8 oclock and 4 oclock on a dog's bum but this might help you find Jesus :eek:

LMAO how aptly that fell into the conversation! That's one of those pictures you see that you'd love to share but there's never an appropriate time. Well played!

Just a quickie;)Alfie doesnt have Cushings:Tbut downside is the vet is really concerned because he has got such a swollen tummy:(So tonight he's had loads of tests done and the vet is going to get results back for quickly so we'll know more tomorrow evening,So fingers crossed again.

Fingers crossed everything goes OK with Alfie's tests

Oh the memories. A rescue mutt we had years ago had issues with his glands. We never could go the whole hog and DIY it but grabbing the tail to hold the butt up and a very large wad of baby wipes was a decent enough temporary fix. No amount of money could make us do it when a vet is trained & has a stronger stomach for it. One thing we were told was to change from wet food to believe it or not, the cheap meal called Chappie. Something to do with fibre content or something????

I think you're right about the fibre. She's very likely having too much rich food (she far prefers human to dog food and loves a roast dinner!) so I'm going to put her on dried for a bit and see if that helps.
She's going to really love me isn't she!!

Smartphone helps too if it is too wet to pick up but still readable in the bottom of a puddle then just grab a snapshot

Poor Purdy had the Vet try to do it when she first had problems and all that came out was blood :eek:
She squealed in pain and it was awful trying to hold her still.
This was when they said it could be cancer.
She knew what was coming second time and there was no way we could settle her.......poor thing was beside herself

They've given her antibiotics each time and it's cleared up, but there's definitely a problem there for it to keep happening every few months. I don't want her to have to be sedated as she's getting on a bit, so I decided I'll give it a go and see if I can manage squeezing from the outside.

I'm sure that it will be fine once I've sussed where 8 oclock and 4 oclock is on a dog's bum!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Lol you need a WATCHdog to get the 8 & 4 right :rotfl: From the moment we got Bonnie from rescue centre, she had to have her glands done at least every 6 months, but never saw any blood

I do agree with changing their diet though as worry-wart says. Bonnie stopped having such a problem when we stopped the cooked fresh meat and wet food, and put our dogs on dry complete food . I also agree with the baby wipes, we did this too, just to relieve the itch

Ah, so it's not a money-off coupon as such, in the conventional sense, but you get the money back (which amounts to the same thing in my book).

Yes, if it appears on a wombled receipt (and is the right pack size etc) then scanning the items instore and then scanning the receipt in should work (in fact, you could possibly scan in all items in one go and add the receipts later as not sure if there is a time limit (while voucher is still in the app). Obviously they are expecting you to buy the item and for it to be your receipt :A.

Anon

This is what I was saying. So we buy the item/items on our receipt, scan them via the app, and then also make an APG claim on the receipt. The 750g pack is acceptable, especially as that is the very one shown (it might even be just the 750g one and not another size). You'd be very lucky if you manage to get the right item on a womble, and to have hit a rare jackpot if you find not only this but also the Rice Krispies squares on it too. IMO.
