Thank you for all your comments. They didn't see him from the beginning. He wasn't mine and I stuck to my granddaughters vet. They were a chain but were all really nice. They did his castration. They are five miles away whilst this one is literally round the corner. Handy to pop in for...

It is a small independent practice open long hours including Saturdays. Often only one vet working. We used to use it for the horses but this particular vet was junior then and was scared of horses. Nobody likes him but we stick because it is convenient. Even his staff dislike him. He never...

I don't like my vet. Luckily Dudley hasn't had many visits. Boosters and I call in for wormer and flea treatment. He is the senior vet, everyone else at the practice is very nice. Including the two lovely lady vets. This man was my vet when we had our horses ,luckily he didn't visit them...

Dudley always waits to go though any gate or door until after me. This can actually cause some problems. For instance I have to go out to the garden at 10pm at night so he can have his last pee. He just won't go first

Dudley is a cross bichon frise/chihuahua. He is quite small but we do walk a good five miles plus a day. I think you will be surprised how far your mother in law can walk. I am 72 and have had hip replacement and heart surgery this year. Being out with the dog is a lot different to walking...

We had a boxer when I was a child. Came home from school one day and mum had rehomed him. A year or so earlier my dads sister had died. When I cried and said it because I wouldnt see him anymore. My mum replied you dont see your Auntie Ann anymore but you don't cry over her. You'll get...

Dog CAM is a bit of tech I love. Can watch him from anywhere on my phone. Have three LED collars rechargeable via USB. Have got a hatch on the chicken coop than opens and closes automatically at set times. Or can be set to open in the light and close at dusk. Don't know if it would work...

You can do the change of chip details on line if you know which chip he has. You can change the other details at the vet. They charge you for change of owner but not change of address.I had to pay £16.00 When I took over Dudley from my grandaughter

Why is everything in Chinese characters

Dudley has a thick padded mock sheepskin sort of large cushion. We have tried all sorts of beds but he likes that best. He can curl up, or stretch out. It washes well and dries reasonably quickly. He lies on the sofa or chair quite often too. We tried various beds and changed them as he...

When I was a child we had a boxer with a docked tail. His face was not as squashed as they are nowadays but it was late fifties early sixties

Reading about uppy tails. Dudley has an uppy tail but both that and his bum are quite hairy. The groomer shaves around his bum but it grows back quickly. The hairy tail covers most of it. When they show it always looks like the rubber thingy you push towels in

Dudley will never poo in the garden When he was the age yours is I used to walk him round the village at ten o clock at night. Sometimes we were out for an hour or more. Eventually he stopped pooing at ten and gradually his times changed to 9 or so in the morning and 5 to 6 in the evening...

Poor boy. Looks so sad

I really like the pop sock idea. He really hates the cone.

Gosh Sudocrem what a good idea. It has dried up really well and I am just waiting for the scabs to drop off. Fortunately he has stopped scratching it. So no more bleeding.

Thank you all for your help. His fur is very thick on top of his head so I will clip that. We don't have any other pets and I will lead walk him so it won't get licked. I do have a cone so will use that because he scratched and drew blood yesterday

Dudley appears to have what my groomer has told me is a hotspot. It is right on top of his head. He has managed to scratch it with his back foot and it has been bleeding. What is the best thing to do.
