I know you don't want to throw good money after bad but has your vet ever suggested a referral to a specialist?

Sorry @Mad Murphy I absolutely had forgotten! You'll just need to invest in a fancy treadmill.that lets you adjust the gradient. Wit the added bonus that you can do all the uphill without ever needing to do any downhill ;)

I don't know, but maybe you saw the thread I posted about the great vet we saw last week? He said walking on slopes, particularly uphill, helps build the muscle around the knee.

If it was my dog, I'd probably try to find a nutritionist. I think I've read of Milk Thistle supplements for dogs with liver problems but do check that with your vet first if you want to try them.

Sorry, no but that sounds like it must have been uncomfortable. Hopefully he will be feeling better after getting rid of that.

It would be a very long and slow process but you could try driving round the block, and finishing at home - hundreds of times. So, going out in the car doesn't result in anything exciting.

I'm so sorry this has happened, and for your poor dog. What a horrible experience. You might want to contact Trevor Cooper at www.doglaw.co.uk He is a specialist in legal matters relating to dogs. Regarding the small claims court, I was given good advice once on a claim (not dog related...

Hello and welcome. Let me start by saying that three months is a very short time, it's only after about three months that rescue dogs start to truly belong. That said, with separation anxiety, it can be a very slow process, and it's one you need to really work on - it doesn't just get better...

Poor boys, it all happens at once, doesn't it. I hope you get some good answers tomorrow at the vet.

Every vet should, shouldn't they.

I know, and the downside is that it's left me feeling quite disappointed with my own vet, having seen such a different alternative.

Hello and welcome.

What a great vet we saw today. To keep T's European Pet Passport valid, rabies boosters must be done in the EU, not the UK. So he was booked to see someone in Spain today. The vet could, quite legitimately, have just given him the booster and signed the paperwork. But, as well as that he gave...

If she was fed in the crate in her last home, it may well help to feed her in there. During the settling in period, it's probably helpful to keep routines as similar as possible to her last home.

How long have you had her? Maybe she is still quite unsettled after her move?

I think it should be not so much about distracting her, as changing her perception. Distracting her means she knows the scary thing is still there and even worse, you are asking her not to keep a close eye on it. Does that make sense? This was written about reactivity to dogs, but the same...

I'm afraid asking for donations isn't allowed so I've edited your post but good luck with your venture.

I'm afraid asking for funding isn't allowed here, so I have edited your post but I wish you all the best with your venture.

Great point. To be clear for anyone reading in future, what if your dog has a bad reaction, is there an antidote type of thing?

I've not heard of this, but I think my questions would be around how strong it is at the start of the year, and how weak it is at the end. I don't understand how things like this work so it may be nothing to be concerned about, but that's the way my mind works.
