Well after spreading porridge, sorry Oat Gel all over Bella yesterday she did indeed have a better night. I thought she might start licking if just because she liked the taste but no licking or scratching. I will repeat the creaming again today and fingers crossed it will help. How do my arms...

Based on the comments and experiences I’m leaning more towards a grass allergy, she has spent quite a bit of time laying on the lawn charging her batteries in the sun. I’ve made the oat cream, I think I might have put too much oats into a pop sock as I made a right mess squeezing the gel out...

Bella has had a few issues in the past with her skin, usually solved with a dip in the sea. I’d forgotten about this, maybe the cold water helped. Thank you for these tips, this is just the kind of thing I am looking for. I’m sorry about Snowie but like to think in some strange way he’s sent a...

Thank you I have taken onboard all the suggestions and I will start with the wiping down as soon as she gets back from her walk. Will let you know if it helps.

No flea collar unless we go abroad which we haven’t done for a few years now. She has 3 monthly bravecto

After nearly becoming a tenant at the surgery after her sore paw episode I am trying to find something that might help before I have to resort to going to the vet.

No changes except the weather being hot and cold. I did think maybe be grass or pollen related but it’s a bit early.

I need your help. Bella is not herself, she is itchy. Lick lick scratch scratch, she’s driving me nuts and I’m sure she’s not happy with it either. Flea treatment up to date ✔️ Has salmon oil every day✔️ Has lamb and rice kibble avoiding chicken and grain✔ The only bath she has is a quick hose...

So sorry to read this, poor Nellie a little trooper but now free from pain. Sending a virtual hug. Extra hugs for Reuben too who I’m sure will miss his little friend.

Yesterday was first day she went out without a boot on and so far so good. The skin over the cyst has healed nicely with just a faint mark where it was . The tiny area I’m watching near to her dew claw is unchanged so I suspect it is due to either her dew claw getting caught in her boot or the...

At long last it’s almost invisible. Now watching a new 1mm area just below her dew claw. Fingers crossed it just where her boot might have rubbed. Get a dog they said, it will be fun they said didn’t mention the stress they caused. Will keep a close eye on it and watch and wait.

New wellies arrived today. Bit of a faff to put on but have kept her paw nice and dry. Bella was less than impressed, auditioning for ministry of silly walks. Shouldn’t laugh😂🤣😂 Hopefully a few more days and we can try without any boots.

(Waitrose sell tinned pumpkin. Sometimes Sainbury do too, normally around Thanksgiving) I get mine from Sainsbury’s when they have it in or Amazon 4tins for about £6.

I give both of mine a good tablespoon of natural yoghurt every day, (I make my own)it was suggested by my old vet when Lottie was a pup as she was prone to loose stools. I stay clear of packet treats instead they get dehydrated sweet potato. Sliced thin and baked in oven gas 2 for about 4-6hrs...

Thank you for asking At long last I think we are getting there. 6 weeks, umpteen ‘treatments’ not to mention muddy sock and boot washing. I’ve left her socks off whilst inside but continuing with padded boots to go out. She is slowly tolerating my presence a bit more as I go towards her she...
