It is interesting isn’t it? I’ve heard the opposite from a vet friend - similar to anal glands, she said if you don’t have persistent ear issues, don't fiddle with them! I guess the theory is that the moment you start introducing anything in the way of cleaning solutions or ‘proactive’ remedies...

I’m so sorry Naya, the unpredictability must be really tough and wearing. I hope she’s feeling better again soon and stabilizes x

Me too ❤️

Sally sounds a beautiful soul @MellowYellow - I can understand you feelings about her and your mum's relationship. My mum's 12 year old dog Jambo has been remarkably good until about 9 months ago when his back legs became more obviously painful and stiff. He's been on paracetamol with...

Hip hip hooray!!! Fair winds and happy sailing (it looks like you might have some bracing Westerly crosswinds) - I’m always jolly pleased when you’re the right side of the channel! :rock:

Thanks everyone. My husband took Stilton to the vet, and it was better than we’d hoped. They have a lovely rapport, and Stilton trusts him. Stilton let my husband show the vet his (Stilton’s!) ears, and the vet was very gentle and took it slow. We last saw this vet about 5 years ago when he’d...

Absolutely this - we wouldn’t manage daily drops at the moment and it would be really distressing for Stilton (and us!) to try, so I’m hoping we’ll get a longer-lasting AB option. We’re seeing the vet this afternoon 👍

Poor little Stilton had an ear infection recently which was really painful for him. It led to lots of disturbed nights, noise sensitivity and more chewing, but was solved (fingers crossed) with a leave-in antibiotic gel. With all the pain and ear handling he’s become very sensitive to any...

Ooh @Lisa , how exciting - when will you walk the Camino Way? That’s an excellent adventure on the cards for 2024.

It looks Belgium-ey to me. Did it smell of cabbages?

This little muddy puddle! Happy Noo Year, furrends!

Happy New Year everyone, and happy birthday @Jennifer ! 🥂 :cake: :dug: :partyhat:

I looove this, and particularly your equal need for a shake off! Increasingly I’ll join Kipper in a shake off and it normally releases a good amount of tension I often didn’t know I was carrying. So many near misses are missed by the people that could’ve/should’ve been alert to them, eh? I’d...

Glorious photos Emily!! Golly Ella is a fabulous character, I love her making friends and she looks so settled around camp. Kudos to you for making it so comfortable for her and everyone x

The bomb thing happens surprisingly often, we had one in our local city Exeter in 2021 that was found when building new houses. It was 1,000kgs and made a huuuge boom when they detonated it, they had to evacuate 2,600 households. This year there was a couple who’d had an armed bomb in their...

Axel will always be a very loved part of our forum here, so if you did decide to change your username it wouldn’t be a replacement but an evolution :heart:

Oh @Naya , rough times for poor Harley. When Stilton was sick recently we had to try all sorts before we found something he could consider - poached chicken and a bit of boiled egg did it in the end. I hope she’s feeling better very soon and you can get to the bottom of it x

You can’t beat a bit of Belgian Europop!

Hi all - my mum’s older dog seems to have lost a lot of vision over the last few weeks. He has severe cataracts which is a likely cause but I’m encouraging a vet visit to explore reasons behind this and possible mitigations. However, I wanted to farm your knowledge on management - does anyone...

Oh signor, you are more handsome than the most stunning skies - but ay carumba, your ML can wield a camera and THEN some. She is a hermosa compañera with SKILLS 😍
