So very sorry to hear this. Sending love and hugs.

A waggy tailed walk - lovely! 🥰

She is fine this morning, thanks. I doubt she has learned anything though - she was still looking for sticks and bushes to chew in the garden this morning. Somewhere along the line evolution has made them idiots - she certainly wouldn’t survive in the wild :facepalm:

So the silly monkey just went out for bedtime wee and chewed a stick. The stick got wedged across her upper jaw. Cue prizing open her jaw, using a torch to see where it was stuck and eventually flipping it out. At one point I thought we were off to the emergency vets but thankfully we managed...

It is indeed! I thought we were were out of the woods re biting! I am currently sitting on the sofa holding a chew toy in one hand and typing with the other! We will buckle up for round 2😱

Cassie was a very bitey pup. Then suddenly it stopped and the cuts and bruises healed. Now she is back in bitey mode - either mouthing hands or scarily jumping up and biting at our arms. She has lost 3 of 4 canines but when she bites on her chew toys she mostly targets the back teeth so I assume...

Please don’t beat yourself up. You did everything you could with the information and treatments available to you at the time. We can all only do the best we can - and you most certainly did that. :heart:

Very sad to read this. Take care of yourself. You gave him his best life. Xx

So very sorry. You are giving Poppy the best days possible. :hug:

That’s great news. Ear problems are always worrying.

Agree with previous comments. A few years ago we were prescribed eye drops - I was very annoyed to discover that I could have had cream instead which would have been so much easier!

It sounds like it was very successful! My mum (!) has similar procedures (albeit not under anaesthetic) on a regular basis and says she feels dizzy and disoriented afterwards. But it does clear up the problem. @Stacia recommendation for a glass of wine for you combined with a cuddle for Cassie...

Good that they are going to have a proper look. Small Cassie sends her best wishes for a speedy recovery to big Cassie.

Happy birthday! 🥳

I would second the idea of a pen. My Cassie doesn’t like her crate much - she will go in it to sleep with the door open but doesn’t go in of her own accord. It was useful having a pen around the crate as we could put her in there when she needed to sleep as a very small pup. Like @HAH we are...

That’s would be ideal and I think we can work towards that but for now I use around two thirds of her entire kibble allowance for loose lead walking and general training. I couldn’t add that many other treats without unbalancing her diet. I add other treats (eg JR pate) for actual training...

Agree! Cassie had a dodgy tum over the weekend and I bought some Chappie. It worked well.

It’s good to know that it worked for Meg. I can try soaking kibble but this would mean that I can’t use it for training treats (could soak some I guess). I have booked an appointment with a dog nutritionist for tomorrow so will see what she suggests. I have read that wet food may help UTIs so...

Interesting that Stilton went through a similar phase. I suspect that Cassie is affected by it as she also struggles to settle at times when in theory (exercised, fed, brain used, tired) she should settle. Hopefully, as you say, it might all work itself out as she grows up. I can ask the vets to...

We fed our last dog on Nutriment from 8 months to around age 7. She was fine on it until she started having a lot of bloody diarrhoea episodes which required medical treatment. I was reluctant to blame the raw food but eventually we switched to home cooked and the diarrhoea stopped. In Holly’s...
