    Charlie's Nails

    Charlie's nails need cutting every other week or so. The problem is I have trained him to lay on the floor offering me his paw which works perfectly well for us. I can't sit on the floor at the moment so I don't know how I am going to cut them. I managed to cut them about 3 weeks ago when...

    "Hello I'm Waiting"

    Memory Foam Bed

    I bought Hattie the PetFusion orthopaedic memory foam bed (as recommended by @Jen xx) to help with her mild arthritis. It is a lovely bed. As Charlie kept pinching it I wanted to get one for Charlie but at £90 I decided to have a google and found this one from Easipet. It is almost identical...

    Charlie's Cruciate Ligament Disease and Surgery

    We talk quite a bit about limps on the forum, so I thought I would document Charlie’s issues just in case it helps anyone in the future. Charlie started limping in April 2020 after a walk in the forest, we got home and he wouldn’t weight bear on his right back leg, hopping around. A vet visit...

    The Benefits or not of YuMove

    When Charlie had his surgery I asked the Orthopaedic Surgeon if I should use YuMove Plus to help him. He was pretty scathing about the product saying he has a 10 year old Labrador and wouldn't give it to his dog. He continued to say that it has absolutely no benefits for Charlie as he has...

    In April 2020 just after the first lockdown I applied Hattie & Charlie's spot on treatment. Within about an hour Hattie was pacing the floor became wobbly on her feet, started panting heavily, rapid heart rate, sensitive to touch. It was awful, so frightening, I really thought I was going to...

    Hattie's not feeling too well ;(

    During our walk this afternoon Hattie ate part of a deer hoof, we did get it off her so she only got a little bit. When we returned home she was laying behind the sofa, up and down pacing around. I gave her dinner and she turned away so she hasn't eaten a thing since this morning. She is now...

    Hattie's Tripping and Wobbliness

    I have started a new thread as things are changing. I took Hattie back to the vet to review how she is, having been on daily metacam for 3 weeks. I was also asked to keep a daily diary of Hattie's tripping up on her front legs and back leg wobbliness. No difference on the metacam. She looked at...

    Weather

    The weather round the world seems to be extreme. We took Hattie and Charlie to the loch yesterday, Charlie raced to the waters edge waiting for a ball throw, out it goes and bounced across the water :cold: The loch had a layer of ice on it. To say this confused Charlie is an under statement. He...

    Beds and Ramps for Hattie

    I know this has probably been covered a zillion times but I could really do with some advice on beds and a ramp for the car for Hattie. The vet suggested getting things in place to help her back legs, my poor girl :cry: She is currently sleeping on this one with vet bed: Raised Dog Bed -...
