    @Couldsavemore Vets are certainly not cheap but it has to be done. Pet will recover (the vet said) :):)
  • 6 NSDs so far - today I impulse purchased a sheepskin for my partner for valentines day. The 15 minute eBay warning popped up on my iPad, there were 40 seconds to go, and it was cheap - I got it for £27.50, with postage. He’ll be pleased, though I didn’t mean to buy it.
