I am so very sorry to hear of poor Snowie and his ongoing troubles , you must be at the end of your tether with worry , fingers crossed and much luck xx

Mast Cell cancers used to be graded as stage 1 , 2 or 3 , Reubens always stage 2 . New grading has now altered and has more or less lumped stages 1 and 2 together and named them as lower grade , 3 remaining high grade . Stage 2 is a bit iffy as it can become unpredictable but it is good news...

Vet Sue has just rung to tell me that the results are in , all grade 11 again or now classed as Low grade . No further treatment advised , his prognosis again is Fair , I`ll go with this !

Good girl Annie, get well soon xx

So sorry Karen @MellowYellow , what a shame for Poppy after such a long remission xxx

So sorry for your ongoing worries , I have to put a sock on Reubens foot and anchor it with vet wrap, it works a treat . Good luck at the Vets , gentle hugs for Harley xxx

I`ve not had this problem with Reuben but I did with Sam . I limited the retrieves , stopping them the minute he began to refuse to drop/leave . If you carry on, you may be setting him up for a fail so stop when you are ahead I say and lots of praise xx

As you may know , my sister and husband are not doggy type people , their lives are so different to ours. I have been critical in the past but then realised that we are not all made the same and I should not hold her attitude against her . Reubens operation was very expensive and sadly not...

After losing Sam to cancer at just six years old , I swore not to have another dog . We had thought that we were just very unlucky with our dear boy and so when offered a pup by the same breeder we went to look , it didnt cross my mind that maybe having him would be a risk, or maybe it did and I...

Wound check went well , thanks to the Licki mat and liver paste which distracted him :clap: He was reluctant to let Sue take the dressing off his hock but I managed to do it . Sue had to make a few small cuts of his hock to remove the lump so he had stitches , all looks really good and clean ...

I thought it would be so , whimpering all night and still this morning poor lamb . We have to be at the Vets at 9.30 for a wound check and then I might just go back to bed for an hour . I will not put him through this again xx

What a lovely photo , such a pretty girl xx

Here he is, he is softly crying which I expected but in true labrador style, he has eaten his tea xx Sue could not get margins from the second lump, but has got good ones from the one on his thigh , long wait now for results xx

Vets have just rung , he has come through the surgery well , he has a bandage on the second lump on his hock as it bled and they will put his onsie on shortly . We can bring him home about 3.30 and Sue will let me know about margins at that time . Poor love , its going to be a long recovery ...

One of the other Vets has just rung me to say that now Reuben is under GA on the table , Sue has found another lump on his right leg, on the hock and asked for permission to remove this one as well . Oh my poor poor boy x

We dropped Reuben off at the Vets this morning for his surgery , I feel quite sick to know what he is going to have to go through, again xx

Well done Joy , it sounds like a second to me too xx

And the same from me xx

Just ordered Nelly`s supply , a good saving and free delivery xx

We had torrential rain yesterday , lots of swollen rivers and flooded roads . I did take the dogs to Golitha ,but Nelly had to stay on lead , Reuben was happy to retrieve in the woods away from the river . Thankfully today is much better with some welcome sunshine , Reuben has gone to playgroup...
