Test post

I'm so sorry. I hope you can get some answers to put your mind at rest. If you think this will be a difficult discussion to have with your vet, maybe you could email them instead? You would then also have their response in writing.

My heart goes out to you, it really does. Could you set up a video camera, or maybe just let your phone record video? You might need to set it up to film a 'trouble spot' and go about yout day as normal till you have something that demonstrates the problem behaviour. A good behaviourist would be...

I don't know about the insurance aspects, though it would seem highly unfair to penalise everyone who had had the odd tummy upset before being insured. I do wonder, however, if it would be best not to query this in advance - the fact that you think it might possibly be relevant might be enough...

Welcome from me too. Do tell us all about Brodie :)

Are you able to walk him somewhere where he won't often see other dogs or people? Or walk at quieter times of day? The more 'calm' walks he has now, the calmer he will be able to be once he matures. And you will also have more opportunities for rewarding him for 'walking nicely'. Maybe do some...

I've also read that after the age of 10, it's not necessary. My dog found vaccination very stressful and the vet was more than happy to say that he wouldn't need them any more. I don't think that was because injecting Jasper was quite stressful for the vet too! Titre testing wasn't an option...

Oh, that's really hard :-( When I lost my dog my husband and I felt really ill for a couple of weeks, just as if we'd had a nasty debilitating flu. Be gentle on yourself, and do find someone to talk to whenever you feel the need. We are always ready with a supportive ear here, if you want to...

Hi Mehmet, and welcome to the forum. Thank you for doing what you can to help the wellbeing of dogs. Unfortunately, we don't permit any requests for money on this forum, so I've had to edit your post accordingly. I do think that in some cases, euthanasia may be in the stray dogs' best...

Your new baby will be fine, I'm sure - just as they would be if, say, you had flu for a couple of weeks and couldn't function. Don't feel guilty - you are doing the best you can. But as JoanneF says, you might want to talk to a pet bereavement councillor.

I'm so sorry for your loss, LRW. How long before it gets better will be different for everyone... but it will get better. The pain is still there, but you grow around it, it is easier for you to live with it. I think it was a couple of weeks before I felt that I could function normally, and...

Thank you :-)

He's still young, and it sounds like he's doing well and you're doing the right things. Maybe you could find an enclosed field where he could go off lead, occasionally? Or maybe an open area with good visibility, at a time of day when few others will be walking their dogs? But if he's enjoying...

It's a good job they didn't leave her in there to cook any longer! So far, she's very interested in her new little sis and seems very happy. She is a very easy easygoing child though - so far, at any rate - and hopefully having two pairs of supportive grandparents close by will help. We're just...

She was officially due on the 30th, but because of some medications DIL is on they decided to induce her a week early. Still took a couple of days to get things moving though! I'm a little tired now... not as tired as DS2 and DIL of course, but I may have been following Whatsapp updates from...

Not dog retated, but at 5.57 this morning, my second grandchild came into the world 🥰 She was 8lb 7oz, and has been feeding really well so probably weighs a bit more now! Mother and baby are both well, and I can't wait to go and visit them this afternoon. Then we'll be cracking open the...

No need to apologise for mixing us up - I can mix up names even after a decent night's sleep! When I see litters of pups now I'm amazed at the contrast between how calm they are and how wild ours was. Come to think about it, I had similar feelings about my firstborn human baby too...

I confess I thought Docker was a typo at first! She looks lovely :-)

To an extent, the way of managing puppy zoomies is just to ride them out as best as possible. He's young, he's going to have his silly head on for much of the time, and he's not going to pay much attention to you. Have you tried giving him cardboard boxes to shred? It'll make a mess, but at...
