Get him referred to a veterinary dermatologist for allergy testing, I have a red raw itchy beagle at the moment not paws though under his neck and armpits, he is on piriton and Malaseb shampoo until our referral appointment comes through. My vet reckons around £300 for the full allergy testing...

Hi, I also have/had a picky, itchy, beagle!! mine also had poo issues with diarrhoea coming from most food brands. I tried various foods each for a minimum of 8 weeks (absolutely no treats or tit bits) and Wafcol Salmon and Potato has been the best for him, he has gained weight he was 12kgs and...

I have two male beagles age 2 and 9 they are both neutered ( I wanted to remove the risk of prostate and testicular tumours) they are best of friends they run mad together, chew each others ears and generally play all the time. I would introduce them a couple of times before you bring the pup...

Looks like a westie to me, very cute either way. :thumbsup:

Aw Cadac don't work she will probably only get sedated to flush the gland out, it's a routine simple procedure, and nce the infection is under control she will be much happier, as Lurcherman said it's simple for you to empty them yourself after your vet shows you how, I have to do Murphy every...

Hey thats great to hear oreo is doing much better. Anal glands is never a nice smell to have at home lol. Can i ask which grain free pfood you have started oreo on? I have rufus on wafcol salmon and potato and that has certainely sorted out his gut problems. Nice to see you back online cadac.

So tomorrow is 7 weeks post op for Murphy, he is doing brilliantly, fully weight bearing on the leg, and allowed out on the lead for 20 mins 2-3 times a day and in the cage the rest of the time, he is bored in cage as he feels fine now, so got him snuggled up on the sofa as much as I can with...

A luxating patella can cause intermittent non-painful limping, its common in small breeds like Jack Russells but I don't know about French Bulldogs I'm afraid, but it could explain why the vet and yourself can move the leg around and get no pain response from the dog as if it has returned to its...

Female animals of most if not all species have a specific "get the hell away from me NOW" noise they can make if their babies are threatened in any way, My guess is your bitch is protecting her 'baby' (your phone) from everyone except you and your partner, She is at the age where hormones are...

Both of my beagles were cage trained as pups, it was their bed/safe place, they were only in the cage to sleep and to be fed so it was a happy/safe place to go for them without the others nicking their food or bothering them and I knew my living room was not going to be destroyed by chewing over...

Beagles are amazing I've had 3 and would not have any other breed, they are so much fun, have so much cheek, and are the cuddliest things I have ever met. They are however hard work and require a lot of exercise to prevent them becoming bored, destructive and obese. My youngest decided last...

There is a product called "Plaque Off" its a seaweed product which you sprinkle on your dogs food and it is meant to help reduce tartar and plaque build up and help prevent bad breath. It was recommended to me by a friend who is a small animal vet nurse, she has lots of clients who swear by it...

Aw good luck with Sadie, Rufus will only down stay, he does not do sit and it took months to get him to stay for 1 minute and even then I can only go 3 steps away from him or he gets up and follows me, he is soooooo easily distracted it was making me totally insane trying to just get him to lie...

How is he now? has he eaten yet? It could be a huge number of reasons I'm afraid, I hope he has eaten by the time I saw your post and that he is back to his normal self.

Green lipped mussel is one on the main ingredients (may actually be the main ingredient I cant remember) in "Yu-Move" supplement which has been tested and approved for dogs, it has some very good reviews from people including 2 of the girls I work with who's elderly arthritic dogs are both much...

Sorry I had not forgotten just having a crappy week, Murphy (on strict cage rest after operation) has got terrible Colitis and have been at vets 3 times already trying different things to settle his guts, and barking in the middle of the night to get out so I'm knackered, glad its the weekend...

Eeeugh Its the tommy sauce ones I gave Rufus they made me be a little bit sick in my mouth just with the smell when I opened the tin LOL!! :x I don't think you could give your dogs too much, the body will only absorb the vitamins and use what it needs and the rest will be passed out as nature...

Aw greyhounds how lovely, There are so many options regarding level of cover, extras required, it is a very time consuming process trying to decide what to choose and which company to go with, I can only tell you my experiences over the last few years and hope it helps you, Was with Pet Plan...

Aw poor boy, I would recommend taking him to a training class and building up his general confidence as you said he is timid and nervous normally, be careful of taking advice from various different people as you may get conflicting opinions on how to handle his fears which could make the...

I would get him checked by the vet, and keep a seizure diary, it may never happen again, but it may be something serious so its worth having him checked out. I hope he is ok :luck:
