When I got back from the vets last week, after seeing the price increase, I rang round the vets in our area and no one has an exotics on their teams... they all refer everyone to my vets... there was just one that said they had a vet who had an interest in ferrets but not an expert, so it...
What makes me most sad is that, even though I'm not intending to adopt more rescue ferrets for a long while, the consultation pricing will definitely effect any decisions to do so in the future...:(
While I'm on 'other animals' I thought I'd do a quick update on Goose. A little while ago because he was showing signs of discomfort we put him back on buprenorphine, lowest dose, that seemed to work well for him for a fair bit. Then maybe 3 weeks ago, he went from noodling around in the garden...
This last week I've seen two young crows with the pair at the cemetery, super lovely! All looking fit and healthy, one has been brave enough to come and feed with the others. If you look( you may have to zoom in) in the pic you can see the parents with the young one just at the back. The church...
I do just have to say if he is enjoying the training and small positive results are being seen, the training may well be helping create the bond and aid his settling. Giving him the sense that someone cares enough for him to have these positive interactions... If there are no expectations or...
One of my dogs when we do 'sit, wait, come', (partly as a game and partly to encourage her to go in the direction I need her to go in!), after the years of playing it she has totally mixed it up, she'll now come when I say wait, wait when I say come and sometimes sit, most usually stand when I...
I wanted to share this wonderful book with you all, if anyone fancies treating themselves I would totally recommend it! It'll make your heart smile and cry all at the same time... just beautiful ❤️
Here is a pic of it and a couple of examples of what's inside: oops I forgot to crop the screen...
I've just checked my file on the dog I spoke about and it is almost 2 years to the day that I started working with him, where did that time go!! So to correct myself, it's been a 2 year journey to get where we are now... and as Judy mentioned, although I still drip feed the treats to start the...
With my super reactive dog(in the early days he used to lose it to the point he caught my leg a couple times in his frenzy!) I ,and his owner, have religiously worked with him to avoid dogs and practice 'watch me' to keep his attention away from the trigger. When we first start walking I...
I wonder if Chappie might be worth a shot? I know it's not deemed as a great food, but it does seem to really suit some dogs with sensitive digestions... one of mine has only ever eaten chappie because of his digestion and it's totally suited him, he's 12 years old now and apart from only having...
I found this book recently ' Brain Games for Dogs' Claire Arrowsmith, I got it for a bit more than a couple of quid on Ebay! I feel it is written really nicely, easy to understand in short chapters with the brain games rated from easy to hard. All positive reward based training, might be worth...
I have to agree with all of the above and about training evolving as a consequence of the time you spend together... I do feel if you take the pressure of trying to teach him many things off and take time to relax with each other first and just be, it could benefit you both immensely...
Oh, Eric is gorgeous and it sounds like you have a wonderful life together! Thank you for sharing and I am so glad you spoke to the vet, fingers crossed the increase in dose will make him more comfortable.
Ok... is there a particular reason you're feeding her either of those two specifically? They are both quite high in carbs and not too much else by the look of it, which probably won't be helping her issues...
