Unfortunately Hunter has suddenly gone lame on his front right leg. In 3 days he went from a slight limp to where he can't walk 2 meters. He is stoic as ever but obviously in great pain. We have an appointment later today at 3. Two elbow operations and his ACL last year. I don't think we can...

As some of you have noticed I have not been quite as visible on our lovely MLF. My Dad has been very unwell and has struggled after my Mum passed away last summer. So I have been preoccupied with all the emotions that go with an ageing parent who will not listen. Today I got the phone call I...

Hunter can't put weight on his left back leg. The vet suspects a torn/ruptured ACL or his meniscus. I have been referred to the ortho to get it checked as the vet thinks surgery will be required. I have to call tomorrow. We promised Hunter no more major operations and my OH says he can't put...

Yesterday I was woken up at 4:30 with Hunter hitting the cat flap. So I let him outside and the pooh poured out of him. He settled down. He wanted breakfast. At lunch my husband sends photos of foam sick and he has diarrhea. I get home and there is now blood in his sick and blood in his pooh. He...

In Wales enjoying the view and Hunter all of a sudden he is limping very bad on his front right paw. We thought it was a thorn but we were on grass so I think he got stung. He reacts very bad to pain and it was his better elbow side paw so he was putting all the pressure on his reallybad elbow...

Since Hunter's castration I have noticed that he is slightly more reactive (I am on purpose not saying aggressive) with fluffy black /white dogs. Basically anything that looks like his arch nemesis. Also bigger dogs. I let him off leash during our walk on the path next to the canal. I saw an...

Twice in one week I have come across a lady with 3 dogs who have attacked or try to attack Hunter. The dogs looks like a Pod crossed with a greyhound. Born hunters. All 3 have a pack mentality when together (on and off lead) and attack/defend any dog, They have taken a big dislike to Hunter and...

The last few days we have seen a great increase in low flying wasps. Until now we have been lucky but what should I do if Hunter gets stung?

As May means I get extra holiday pay I ordered Hunter some fish4dogs snacks. They have a new warehouse in Europe so no Brexit tax import issues. I did larger than normal but when I got home yesterday it seemed more than expected! I think there ordering system has gone wrong as I got twice the...

This may be a slight waffle as I am still upset. On the morning walk we crossed the road and bam there was his nemesis with both his owners. I must have not secured his collar as it snapped open and Hunter charged towards the dog. Recall of course not. I remember shouting shit shit shit. Looking...

I need help with Hunter's aggression with his Nemesis Max . Max is a long haired collie who has bit Hunter twice. Once as a puppy and the second time last year when he was walking with my son. (Bleeding lip and an hysterical son) Max is also known for biting other dogs (big and small). If I see...

This study was written by Zoe Belshaw and is about owners and vets attitudes towards the risks of NSAID''s It is quite a long read but I first read it when we had to "adapt" to a puppy dog with joint problems and elbow operations...

I know this sounds stupid to ask but when your dog is sick, how bad does it smell? Usually Hunter's sick smells of nothing really. Very sticky and slimy but the smell is not that bad. Yesterday he threw up in the kitchen and it smelled really really BAD. The dog walker think that he could have...

I thought of @Natalie and Monty yesterday afternoon after Hunter hurt himself. I am so mad with myself as I know that it should not have happened. As he has overall very weak joints and ED, I am a helicopter mama. Yesterday afternoon I let him off lead to sniff near the canal. A big black...

Hi I need some inspiration for Kong Fillers, preferable low calorie. I normally fill it with home made broth and some carrots or left over stew. Stew days are over now as the weather has improved too much!

I was just placing an order for Hunter's favourite Mackerel Morsels and saw this! Fish4Dogs Gifts If my son has one then I am also obliged to buy Hunter one as well so they can open them together!!

I have been reading up on a few things as Hunter joints do not seem to be improving and he is getting very stiff when he stands up. Does anybody here add phytoplankton in their dog food? It is high in Omega 3. My OH is also thinking of using it in his food! Just wondered if anybody has tried it.....

We have noticed a slight deterioration in Hunter's joints in the last 4 weeks and all of a sudden he started limping last week on his right front leg (the worst elbow joint with quite serious cartilage damage after his op). He also seems to struggle a little with his hips too. I have also...
