@kateincornwall I’m sorry about your vets Kate I know how much you thought of them and how good they’ve always been with all your dogs. They’ve always sounded a caring vets. I wonder if something is going on ? Well obviously something is going on that’s a stupid question. Has the downturn...

You do. All that matters is you and Flicka. The most important step I think to begin with is the two of you bonding and Flicka learning she can trust you and by the sound of things that’s already happening. :hug:

Hopefully I’ve done it right :fingers:

I’m annoyed with myself this morning and weirdly I knew this would happen. First thing this morning Hunter vomited bile. There’s a little voice in my head worrying but I know it’s most likely because of an empty stomach. It happens every so often, the last time was May, and was more frequent...

The poor little thing and super scary for you @Jelinga. Hopefully you can try a fabric crate and she’ll be happy in one of those. No bad association to one. I know you don’t think a pen will keep her in and it’s just a thought but she might be better in something larger that she maybe doesn’t...

@Jelinga gosh I’ve just caught up. What a night you had. Brilliant firemen and lovely of them to clean her up and be so nice with her. Blues and twos for a special pup. :hug:I wonder how on earth she got her head through the bars of her crate ?!?! I’m glad she settled better with you downstairs...

@Naya I know I’m repeating what everyone else has said and you’ve probably already been on to the vet but if Harley was my dog and I was as worried as you obviously are I’d be going back to the vet as soon as possible. Whether what Harley is going through is normal or not you need to know for...

@Granca That‘s a very good idea thank you. I’ll give it a try however I’ve got a feeling they’ll be “too busy” or something similar. With my vets it’s always dependant on which receptionists are on as to how amenable they are. Some make you feel like your causing problems just ringing and asking...

@Cath it made me smile the way you describe Fred giving the vet the Elvis lip. I always used to say Scout was doing his Elvis impression when he curled his lip too :giggl: @edzbird poor Meg it really doesn’t help a fearful dog when a vet doesn’t understand how to handle them. I was lucky in...

@Jacqui-S I booked this appointment on line but it doesn’t say which vets are on. I did ring the week before to check my appointment as I’d had a text reminder to make one. I asked which vets were working so I knew I was getting this vet. Unfortunately if I changed it for another vet I couldn’t...

Hunter had his booster jabs on Friday and I’m still frustrated about the experience which is why I’m about to write a long boring post about it. Unfortunately we got the vet I didn’t want. I’d had her a couple of times with Scout and while I think her veterinary ability is very good her...

@Jelinga I was so sorry to read the news about Rourke. Nothing I or anyone can say can make this better but please remember there are a lot of us who have been through what you are going through now and while everyone grieves differently you are not alone, we understand and we are here. :hug:

@Kelsey I hope it’s ok posting this on your thread as it’s about recall. I wasn’t sure if I should start a new one or not. Hunter has just amazed me. We were coming back from our walk cutting through our field. Hunter was off lead bobbing about sniffing ahead of me. A rabbit ran out of the long...

An update on Hunter’s pet insurance. Tesco were supposed to ring me back on the 29/7 to confirm payment details for a new policy and cancel the original. They didn’t so I decided to wait until next week nearer the renewal date. Today I received the new policy details and a separate letter...

I have to say when it comes to recall I’ve dropped on lucky so far with Hunter. Don’t get me wrong I can see a difference between his puppy recall and his teenage recall. He will now on occasion see if he can get away with ignoring or coming in his own sweet time and I would never describe him...

Brilliant thanks @kateincornwall :happy:

I rang Tesco pet insurance. After listening to music for at least 20 minutes a very nice man came on the line. I explained my issue about the big increase in my premium. To be fair he agreed it was a lot. |( He then proceeded to explain why pet insurance goes up vet fees, age of pet etc you know...

Thank you @Cath very interesting :nod:

I’m a tad miffed to say the least and I will be contacting Tesco pet insurance tomorrow. I received Hunter‘s renewal with Tesco pet insurance today. Last year I paid £343 for lifetime cover £10,000 vet fees. This year his renewal has gone up to £484 !!! I expected it to go up it always does and...

@Selina27 I’ve given it a go. Unfortunately no if he knows I’ve got the magic yellow ball he won’t retrieve anything he just sits looking at me waiting to get his yellow ball :angry:
