    Help with my 9 month old westie

    Things I would try would be; Take a squeaky toy out your pocket and squeak it to distract her and keep walking so she comes with you and plays. A rope ragger or soft toy would work the same, waggle it at her and start a game of tug until she forgets about barking and you are passed the...

    Weaning a bitch off incurin

    As I understand it, dogs given incurin bladder sphincter starts to rely on the drug to work so even though she is dry on the drug (proves the drug is working) she may not be if you stop it, only thing I would try is cutting down the dose or frequency you give her the incurin and see what...

    German shepherd's in north london

    Hi my beagle ruptured his left cruciate ligament last year, his initial x-rays, sedation etc was £300 (I live in a rural area of Scotland) so I would expect £400 to be about right in London and your dog is much bigger than my beagle. Most vets will not deal directly with insurance companies in...

    15 week old labradoodle puppy digestion/dietary problems

    Sorry to hear your puppy is not doing too well, I would take him back to the vets sooner if you can. I also would not change his food again as it can take 6-8 weeks for the dogs stomach to settle with a new food so that could be the cause of the upset, Hope vet gets to the bottom of this soon...

    Old dog has itchy ears? help please?

    Your dog probably has an infection or ear mites deep down in the ear canal (where you wont be able to see anything!) so the vet has prescribed Canaural, use the drops regularly and his ears should be much better by the end of the 7 days treatment. I have used Canaural several times over the...

    First stages of kidney failure

    Lisa, I faced that hard decision with my old beagle girl, she was on special Liver prescription diet to support her Liver when we found a tumour there, she ate it for 4 days then refused to eat it, I decided "stuff it" if she wants a bacon roll she can have one. She was nearly 15 and the tumour...

    Umbilical hernia in puppies.

    To be honest I would not breed from this wee dog, hernias and poor jaw conformation can be hereditary.

    Umbilical hernia in puppies.

    It depends what you want the puppy for, if it is to show and or breed from then no do not take it, if it is a pet that you intend to neuter then there should be no problem, you could ask her to take it to your vet to be checked over to ensure the hernia will heal and check that the overbite...

    Crutiate ligament damage - spaniel - leave or operate?

    My Beagle Murphy ruptured his cruciate last June and I opted for surgery for him straight away, it was a long 16 weeks cage rest and then 12 weeks gradual build up back to normal exercise, but totally worth it he is running around chasing bunnies again as if nothing has happened to him, he was 8...
