What a fright for you. So pleased to hear she is feeling better this morning. I hope she recovers quickly. xxx

So sorry to hear. It will hopefully pass quickly and the vet can give something to make her feel less nauseas. Do you know if she ate something she shouldn’t have?

You really are amazing @Jelinga. If only all the hopeless cases were to get someone like you with your skill and compassion and patience. Flicka is so lucky you found her. I’m so pleased it all worked out so well (chewed specs maybe not!). Wishing many more happy moments together. ❤️

Oh wow, I had no idea how complicated—and risky—it could be. Thinking of you cos I imagine it must’ve been a big deal for you to travel without him, given his support function. Best of luck. xxx

It sounds like Lockdown all over again. I hope the 5 days speed by.

Best of luck getting everything you need doing done. Curious to know why you’re traveling without Carbon? Were the logistics too complicated?

Wow! Those photos!! Carbon, you are lucky to have your very own brilliant photographer to accompany you to capture your beauty and the beautiful surroundings.

So pleased you’re back. We missed you terribly.

He is gorgeous! ❤️

Mash it into something delicious; he might not eat it plain. Alternatively, freeze them in pea-size amounts and feed like a pill. For Snowie, I mash it into a sweet potato and veg mixture and feed by hand. And don’t let him wipe his mouth on the furniture afterwards. Stains!!!! I wipe Snowie’s...

I often give Snowie the curry I make for ourselves—he gets the turmeric that way.

Golden paste is easy to make. 1/2 cup turmeric powder 2 cups water Bring to boil, then lowest heat for about 7-8 mins, stirring constantly (sticks to bottom of pot) Let cool. Mix in 3 teaspoons freshly ground pepper and 1/3 cup oil (coconut or olive oil). Freeze in small batches as it goes off...

Please don’t put down poison to kill rats. Owls eat the dead rats and are in turn killed by the poison. You get rat traps that either trap the rat live (you’ll need to release it in another area) or dead (but the rats can’t get out; the company that sets the trap for you will need to monitor the...

@Candy such an important question. My nephew works for a company that has developed an AI tool that provides the first diagnosis from medical images. The tool is used in several hospitals around the world. It can process far more images than a person can, and sometimes picks up serious issues...

Soon genAI will take over knowledge jobs. I’m guessing the big corporate vet companies will require you to first use a genAI app to do the initial diagnosis before you even see the vet in person. Consulting an actual person will be the reserve of the wealthy. Last week, in an online interview...

This podcast popped up in my app a few days ago: How to reverse arthritis in 8 weeks | Dr. Tamiko Katsumoto The doctor is a Stanford professor. The podcast title is a bit click-baity, but the info in the podcast is useful. While it’s difficult to know whether what affects humans can equally...

Our vet uses a flea comb to check for flea poo. He’s never found any and has never pushed any flea or tick products. However, I have noticed his own dogs (Goldens, always with him in the vet practice) wear two collars, so I’m assuming one is for fleas and ticks. I haven’t asked about the collars...

Such great news about Poppy. ❤️ Sorry about the vet bill though!

Is there any chance he can sleep in your bedroom while he’s still a puppy? And then, when he’s older, to move him out (that is, if you don’t want him permanently in your bedroom)? I recently read this post about crating by a trainer and behaviourist who is a huge advocate for dogs’ emotional...

I also don’t use tick and flea products at all, and no dewormers either. But I stopped cos they caused seizures in Snowie. And only then did it occur to me what poisons I was giving him. The mind boggles when we think it’s okay giving a dog such poisons as a routine thing. I’ve become far more...
