Hello Josie, It sounds like a lovely idea, I have added to the questions below for my opinion and ease of reading :) Would you find a dog hamper useful during your stay with your pet? As above @Judy and @JoanneF, if it had things like compostable poo bags, quality treats, maybe a calming...

Hello Liz and Obi, Sorry to hear he is having tummy troubles. My boy is collie x JRT and we / he had a very similar experience, as a pup we tried all sorts of good quality kibbles and even went on a vet prescribed sensitive stomach food for a spell as everything else he ate just produced lose /...

Thanks both, good advice, new consultant had the x-ray and MRI and his comments were, if they had looked at the right bit, they probably would have seen it on the MRI but he didn't comment on the original x-ray - I think professional courtesy was in play. I will take a look at the ligament...

Hello All, Just thought I'd write with an update - Yesterday I took Charlie for a 2nd opinion with a specialised orthopedic vet, Charlie had to have another x-ray £££ but they found the problem :emoji_clap: he has cruciate ligament disease, essentially the cruciate ligament is partly torn, not...

👍that's a good idea, I'd rather him be assessed in a natural environment, once he gets to know someone he is very sweet with them. Many thanks!

My thoughts are with you Julia, Sam sounds like he was the best companion for you and you gave him the best life, there is nothing more you could have done. It will take time but cherish all those amazing memories you have, think of those good, naughty, amusing times you shared rather than...

Great idea, I if I can find an osteo physio, fair point about us humans getting adjustments and doing certain exercises for strengthening etc I shall look into this. thanks again to all.

Hello Flobo, thanks for your thoughts - he did see an osteo vet but just the once, he is also a pickle with allowing people to touch him, Collie panic sets in and he get very scared so I can understand why its difficult for vets to assess him but I think this could be the route to explore again.

Thanks for your thoughts Joanne, we have already checked head, shoulders knees and toes and almost everything in between, I asked my normal vet for an MOT for him and nothing was out of the normal. I have too heard of mimicking behaviour it just doesn't fit (perhaps from my blinkered view)...

Hey JudyN, Thanks for your reply, I have a copy of the X-ray and MRI taken last year as I figured yet another specialist vet will be required, it doesn't matter what the surface is he walks on either, he will also do a hop, skip, limp when out on a walk, there is no pattern to it. I don't want...

Like most people on forums, I could do with some help please with my Border Collie cross Jack Russel, yes that did happen and yes, my boy has the traits of both breeds. Lets start at the beginning, Charlie is a rescue from Dogs trust, he is now 7 but we've had him since he was around 6- 8 months...
