Welcome from me too, and looking forward to hearing more about your dog.

Do you have access to a veterinary chiropractor? If so would be worthwhile.

I didn't reply before because you won't be happy with what I have to say, so I paused before saying it. You will never change this little dog's character, you cannot change his interpretation of danger and how HE feels. He will need always to be kept apart from children and also adults who...

I carry some spectacular injuries from years ago, and can vouch for the fact that they never stop hurting completely but are sometimes slightly noticeable and at others, VERY noticeable. Dogs - animals in general - are very good at hiding pain.

I have used various non-drug remedies under strong supervision from my holistic vet, which eased the process until there was no more to be done. In the case of my dogs, they were all old when they developed cancer, and my decision was for palliative care only.

I love rocket - I could eat it by the bagful! Just send me yours.

He sounds lovely. I agree closing the kitchen door is a very effective method!

Ref. the worktop - I appreciate this particular dog hasn't by the sound of it been taught anything much, but might help others - "down" should only be used if the dog hasn't and never will be taught to lie down using the same word. I use "off", which also sounds a bit gruff and barky. Meanwhile...

Hello and welcome. She's such a pretty dog!

A teaspoonful of olive oil (not other oils) or equivalent in butter often helps with constipation.

After getting one of mine spayed, she became incontinent. I wasn't even warned this could happen. I had ruined her life (she was nearly 18 when she died) though with the best of intentions. Since then, I have never had a bitch spayed. My super vet was perfectly okay with this. I kept a cautious...

I understand what you are saying, but very respectfully disagree. I am not referring to them attacking each other, which I agree is very rare, but the somersaults and risk of being caught up in the lure string. It's a purely personal view, but based on having had a lot to do with sighthounds...

I do love whippets! But I would prefer a safer end to the races depicted. When I've been racing, the lure goes between some bales or behind a screen, and the "catchers" are already there.

Quite common. Little need for concern unless you wish to show or breed, and the errant testicle has plenty of time to descend over the next few months. Some little lads take a while, some drop them very early. If after a year it hasn't descended, it's a slight cancer risk for the retained one...

I'm on the SE coast, and used to go to a lot of lurcher shows. Happy times.

Likely nothing to worry about and you did the right thing, but do mention it to your vet. if it continues. Little lads can be quite precocious.

Nowhere near Norfolk but a lifetime lurcher aficionado. Too old for dogs now but many happy memories. I still go to lurcher shows, although with the recent demise of Countryman's Weekly, I don't know where they will be advertised now.

Having had quite a few scamming emails lately and another this morning, you were wise to check, as indeed I did.

Happy Birthday Rolo. Such a handsome chap.

Hello and welcome.
