I would say that is not ideal, but if you cant stop her... maybe you could encourage her to step up on to the sofa, rather than jump?? You may find though that she is a little groggy still and happy to stay on a bed on the floor.

So Poppy has done a couple of poos, which were on the soft side of normal, and is drinking a bit (she never drinks a lot) and weeing normally. She is still not eating properly though - this morning she ate some of the sensitive diet kibble, but left the soft dog food and rice, which she normally...

I am having a vague memory of this with Merlin... He came to us on Vet-Concept dry food, and drank sooooo much water... We swapped him over to raw food pretty quickly, and he stopped drinking quite so much (although he has always been a dog who likes to drink quite a lot of water).

Yes, Poppy was spayed with a keyhole spay. It was great - she recovered very quickly, and actually after the first day did not need to wear her body suit as she is not a great licker.

Thanks all, Poppy seems brighter this morning, ate some breakfast and had a drink and went out for a little toddle and sniff in the woods with me. She hasn't done a poo now since Saturday, though she is emitting the most disgusting stinky farts! And right now she is begging because I am eating a...

She's eaten a bit of rice with some special easily digestible dog food! And drunk more water! Yay!!!

I am sure Roxy was a very much loved dog, who had a wonderful life. RIP Roxy.

I've been away for a week looking after my little granddaughter in Finland. On Saturday OH called me to say Poppy had diarrhea and had refused her afternoon meal. She wouldn't eat anything at all yesterday either - and most worryingly would not drink anything. I told him to try to get her to...

Merlin hated and loathed the crate. We persevered for 6 weeks, then gave up. He was fine in the house, just hated being locked up in the crate... However I did have Poppy as well so he wasn't completely alone. I'm sure you'll get there in the end!

He is gorgeous! Very distinguished-looking.

He is growing so fast! What a lovely chap.

So glad to hear about Stilton! Phew!!! They certainly know how to worry us, don't they? Merlin as a very young dog once pulled up sharp while playing in the woods and started screaming... He could hardly calm down, kept shrieking, yelling and shaking, obviously in a lot of pain, could not put...

Ah, happy birthday and I'm glad to hear Stilton is feeling better. Fingers crossed it's not a full cruciate tear!

Hi Kelsey, I don't know if you remember but I had to have Merlin castrated for medical reasons in November 2023. I would never have done it, but it was necessary as his health was severely impacted. Here is the link to the thread, in case you are interested. Now a little over a year after the...

Sending you lots of hugs Naya. We understand what you are going through. xxx

So Ella is coming up to 10 years old? If you are seriously thinking about getting a puppy, I would advise doing it sooner rather than later, as a puppy can be very hard on an old dog. I did it with an old dog, and very much regretted it; I sometimes thought I had ruined his last year of life. 10...

So lovely... I hope you still have many happy times where Finn is comfortable. He certainly looks content in that gorgeous photo!

Our JRT from many, many years ago lost his sight in old age. He just followed the other dogs around the whole time! In the house and the garden he was absolutely fine, I suppose because he knew where everything was, but he became more cautious out on walks and eventually of course we had to have...

That is so great!!!

Yes, so happy Nelly is enjoying life, but I am sure the trauma is still there for you all xxx
