Probably no - I know what august likes and what I am comfortable feeding her. I seldom go away, but when I have I includes enough packing space for her bowls and toys.

Is she going for a wee? If not then a vet visit is urgent - if she is then she is getting moisture somewhere or drinking when you are not in the room

I hope the appointment is positive - my vet gave same advice about blood tests and thought the additional cost wouldn’t highlight the cause of allergy

Apoquel was a godsend - have just put August on maintenance dosage and can see itching and nibbling again - so looks like it will be back to vet next week and see what he says. (Btw I found online pharmacy very easy and efficient service 😀)

August is on Apoquel - it was double dose for 2 weeks and the itching cleared up - she is on her 3rd day of maintenance dosage and I can see she is starting to itch again - not as fervently as before but it has increased. I will watch her for rest of week and take her back to the vet if this...

I am too much of a wimp to do it myself and have it done at the vet 🤷‍♀️

Had august at vet this afternoon and he has prescribed Apoquel as he thinks seasonal allergies and piriton not strong enough. He said to get them online so now I have to find an online dispenser - anyone have any suggestions as don’t want to have to go through all of the ones on google 😀

I don’t have a greyhound but really wanted (still do 😀) an Italian greyhound and did a bit of research about their needs. I would recommend checking with greyhound specific websites and chat groups as I know they do need different collars and perhaps also harnesses to more robust dogs 😀 I am so...

Are you able to get someone to share a dog with you? 10 hours shifts are really too long to leave any breed on their own in my opinion- and you don’t say what your commute time is. So even having a dog walker come in for an hour a day would be very long periods for them to be alone and could...

Rocket lover here - we grow it on the windowsill. I’d rather have a bowl of rocket than a packet of crisps or biscuits 😀

I had to look up equafleece 🤣 I struggle to convince august that her harness is a good thing so the equafleece doesn’t stand a chance 😀

We had a cocker spaniel when I was a kid - she was very posh - Lady May of Piperspool 😀 we inherited from my grandparents when my grandfather got ill and I can say with sadness that my mom didn’t treat her very well although she really was a lovely old girl. Maybe one day I will get a cocker in...

I am sorry that you had to make this decision and the breeder was not helpful with resolving the issue with you as it was obvious that you did your research and tried to get them to meet you at least half way. I am sure you will find another perfect addition to your family x
