Congrats and big praise for adopting the waif. All of our dogs (whippets) are rescued - two have gone to the pet shop in the sky and our current adoptee came with the mother of all emotional angst. That was almost four years ago. As others have said, it was trust and confidence which had to be...

And from us

……cruel.

Good for you, Ferretmum. Would be grateful for a video of Goose with his new companion. I’ve never had much to do with ferrets but there was a boy at school (boarding) who was allowed to keep them. His nickname was ‘Stench’ but I’m not sure whether this was a derivative of his surname (Stephens)...

Have been in the same situation several times - two whippets, countless cats and one ring-tailed lemur. They leave such a void but the pain eases and, as I’ve said before, be thankful on their behalf that they’re no longer suffering. X

It’s a very sad situation and you have my sympathies. As for Rocco, I can only go by what I’ve seen on T.V.. Won’t the R.S.P.C.A. take him on?

No, JudyN. It seems to follow any introduction of a wet food or (currently) anything other than Iams and/or Bonios. She’s not stressed and seems so well and happy. As you may know she suffers a seasonal allergy (grass/pollen) - could that have developed to a gastric problem?

We’re (almost) back to square one re Mabel’s gippy tum. Currently in Portscatho for a week and she’s been on Iams predominantly. At the start of the week I was adding a tiny amount of Lily’s Kitchen canned food to the Iams to make it more interesting but the squits continued so I just gave her...

Welcome from us. What have you taken on?

What a lovely face. He’s a smashing chap. He landed on his feet when you adopted the pair.

That’s good news. Mabel’s taking things very quietly - her intermittent gippy tummy has returned and her limp seems to be from her shoulder and not her foot. I’ll bring her check up forward. For the time being I’ve taken her off raw and put her on dry food which she has accepted.

I’ve just picked this up. I trust her treatment’s progressing well.

Does that mean Herefordshire’s ahead of the game? There’s a first!

Appreciate that, excuseme. I’d definitely steer clear of anything with a consistency denser than water. Unfortunately I don’t always have it to hand so a standby squirt of leucillin would be reassuring. I’m turning into a hypochondriac. I’ve got a Covid jab coming up so I’m looking for Judy...

Many thanks. Will buy it today.

Nothing to do with gippy tummy, thank God. This is a general enquiry re antiseptic cream. Does anyone have a recommendation re type which is safe to apply. She tore a dew claw this morning. We’ve cleaned the wound with salt water and the bleeding has stopped but, for the future, should it be...

One of our whippets (no longer en vie) had retina degeneration and we were referred to a veterinary eye specialist in Leominster. It wasn’t a cheap procedure but it did give us assurance re the way forward. Blue eventually went blind but we attached a bell to the collar of his companion, Poppy...

We have Mabel (whippet) and George (cat) - both rescues. They are companions (of sorts).

So sorry. Thoughts and a a hug. She’s not suffering - take comfort from that. X

That photo just states companionship. A lovely duo.
