I agree - this is absolutely something you should speak to your vet about.

Are you on Facebook? I find that's the best place for finding local groups.

Brilliant news, thank you! :-)

Excellent progress - and remember, you've achieved this in what is a relatively very short space of time. Well done!

Be careful what you wish for... I take a lot of photos of bugs! Are you on Facebook or Flickr? I'm happy to post bug photos, but they would be rather off topic for the forum. Unless I can get a really good photo of a dog flea, I guess...

Yes, it looks like maize weevils are slightly smaller. But I'm always wary of common names - the maize weevil is also known as the greater grain weevil, and the greater rice weevil! I think weevils are quite cute (though not when they're taking up residence inside your house). The acorn...

Are they the ones that can appear in old bags of flour and so forth, excuseme? (If so probably wheat/grain weevil - corn weevil, aka maize weevil, is rarely found in the UK. And yes, I am an anorak!)

For the biting, have a read of this: Puppy biting Digging holes might be trickier - shouting would just serve to scare her and you want her to see you as a 'safe place' that she can trust. Even saying no tends to be ineffective as pups don't know what it means - teaching her what she can do is...

Personally I'd have thought that dog hairs in the bedroom wasn't as bad as poo and wee in the kitchen... It would be a lot quicker to run the vacuum round the bedroom than mop the kitchcen floor.

Ah, I'm guessing this is the one you're after: Buy Frontline Flea Spray for Cats & Dogs - from £20.87 | UK Pets That seems to be available in 250ml and 500ml.

Is this the one you're after...

Also, if she needs to go out during the day, does she ask? Or do you take her out so regularly during the day that she never has to ask? Another possibility is that while you were away, maybe she was getting more activity during the day so was simply more tired at night.

What was she like before you went away, and how long have you been back for? It's possible that she is simply more settled being in the bedroom with you at night - is having her in your bedroom in the long term a possibility?

If she's OK with the fish, you could cook it in a small amount of water and use that water to moisten the kibble and make it tastier for her.

That's a tricky one - how long will she go without eating it? I'm guessing you've tried hypoallergenic foods with no joy? Is it possible for your vet to test her to try to find out what her specific allergies are? It might also be possible to contact Royal Canin and ask if they have any...

I am so sorry, losing a loved dog is incredibly painful. But I'm also glad that you know that you did the right thing at the right time, so there will be no regrets. Run free, Tyson xx

'Do any children regularly visit your home?': Would it be helpful to specify ages here? I have 2-year-old and 1-month-old grandchildren who often visit - the situation would be different if they were teenagers. (Disclaimer - they are both here at the moment and any apparent issues with the...

I'm just registering, and would like to mention that I don't like giving out my phone number or date of birth, or even postal address when it's not essential - I would like the option of only giving my email address for contact information. Is this possible? It's true it would be helpful to know...

Here's the link: ePupp You really seem to be putting a lot of thought into this, which is great - so many developers seem to start with the attitude of 'Let's make an app - what shall we do, and how can we make it whizzy?' A couple of things I noticed - and I really only have time for a glance...

Good points, Mad Murphy - guidelines on how to choose a good rescue organisation would also be useful. Although I'm not planning on adopting in the near future, I often read profiles of dogs for adoption which pop up on Facebook. Reading between the lines is essential: 'Would like owners who can...
