What is a "settle"? What are you trying to shape here? (I know, I sound like I'm channelling Carbon....)

When we moved house 20 years ago, my four stepdaughters gave us a housewarming present of a wall plaque that says "Sod the dog, beware of the wife."

Harley, in a forum full of gorgeous, beautiful dogs you are the sweetest, kindest and loveliest of them all (especially on your birthday). Happy birthday sweetheart. xxx

I'd second @Hollysdad view on economy plus - we invest in that these days for long-haul and it makes a huge difference. It is quite a lot more expensive than economy, but nothing like as much as first or business....

Oh my LIFE this thread is cute.

Harv, I reckon that's right, you is LIBERRAYTIN the alien. That is a good thing to do. Pongo

I've got one of these and it has lasted for ages.

I think it is a wholly natural game for dogs, especially Labradors.....after all, they are basically made up of a nose and a stomach with some feet added on so that one can serve the other. The handlers, however, do need a bit of training (as Pongo would be keen to point out after yesterday).

He was SO pleased to find this person. He'd been sniffing round the wheels of the truck and his idiot handler (me) was assuming it was just because he'd had a pee there earlier in the afternoon, so I was making unimpressed noises....he went round the truck twice and then had a visible lightbulb...

Pongo says the hoomans were really sneaky today at mantrailing. They were hiding in some really strange places.... but he found 'em.

Oh fab! Pongo and I are just back from our latest session....it is SUCH good fun!

There's something wrong in your pack, Roobin. In my pack, there isn't anything for the hoomans that isn't for me too. Except chocklit.

Carbon, you are a superstar and you know just what to do for your ML. Just like she knows what to do for you. You are a perfect partnership.

All together now... "Poo, glorious Poo! What wouldn't we give for Bowel movements at last That's all that we live for! Just picture a great big turd, Firm, shining and new! Oh POO! Wonderful POO! Marvellous POO! Glorious POOOOOOOOO!" Good lord, being a Labrador owner does strange things to...

I just paid about £110 for the shot. The vet talked to me about Apoquel as well, and it was going to be about the same price.

Vet said that one shot can last from 4 - 8 weeks. It starts working within 24 hours (and yes, I think Pongo is already looking a lot happier); then depending on the dog and the condition it will last as long as it lasts. If and when the itching starts again, we'll go back for another shot...

Oh, thank goodness! Holly is home and in the best hands, and you've got a treatment plan. Phew. Good girl Holly. Now, settle down and get better soon, stop worrying your mum and dad. xxx

I've just come back from the vet, when I talked (again) about Pongo's recurrent itchiness - especially ears and paws. She suggested a cytopoint injection, so we're trying that. It was great to be able to search for "cytopoint" on this forum and see the discussion here - including @JulieH...

Hang in there. The vet will do what needs to be done, and then you'll get your girl back on the mend. Thinking of you...

Yes! Yes! I'll be there!
