Thanks colettedb, have been and have now got a prescription to order the Apoquel online. She also had a long term effect ear drop applied to left ear as she had been scratching and caused it to be inflamed. The vet advised to give prescribed dose to start but then to monitor the situation to...

Thanks for your reply colettedb, I will keep that in mind. I have an app at 2pm today so will have to make a decision then I actually had a phone call from a vet on Tuesday (not the one I see, so they are obviously taking my concerns seriously) She was very good and explained everything about...

Thanks Flobo, I never thought about that, I will add it to my list and ask the vet and see what she thinks. Am trying to make sure I cover everything on this next visit

You are right. I have started a list of what to discuss with the vet so that this time everything will be covered and I wont forget anything. I have added your advice to it as well Fingers crossed that something will be sorted I do not expect Biddy to be an all singing and dancing pet as I...

Thanks JudyN but I am just so fed up with it all now. I am beginning to wish that I had never taken her on' I would never abandon her now but it just seems to be one thing after another and I do not get much back from her. She likes eating, sleeping and going for walks. I do not get much...

Where do I start? Last year Biddy had an awful skin problem itching with dry scabby areas over belly, some to her back and around left ear (despite many trips to the vet) In December she was eventually treated with steroids first then a month of Apoquell and the use of prescribed Malasab...

Thanks RGC i totally understand your apprehension about different kinds of chews. I thought I had found the solution with raw chicken wings, she really did chew on them and grind them down, that was until she choked on a piece of chicken and sinew that she tried to gobble down. We were both in...

Thank Flobo, will def try the Forthglade plant based chew and will look into that toothpaste with the chlorhexidine. Am willing to try anything once on the off chance that she will tolerate it or like it. Have tried 2 different toothpastes, one of them recommended by a few people on here but...

I wish I was a bit more like your strict relative but am too soft and my dog walks all over me Regarding the toilet issues, my girl was overweight, traumatised with lots of health issues when I rescued her. Short story, owner died and wife ended up in hospital She has had issues with her anal...

I did do that in the beginning JoanneF but she was not very happy to do that, she would lick them and pull at the meat but was not crunching the bone. I do not think I could let her have them again anyway, her choking scared me so much that I would not risk her having anything that is not...

I agree with you excuseme, she did take a couple of days to get used to them but once she did she went at them with gusto, all I saw was benefit as they were good for her teeth, it occupied her for about 45 mins and she seemed to really enjoy them. Thing is it was'nt the bone she chocked on but...

Thank you all for your replies, I have decided just to leave her teeth alone and hope for the best. I have tried everything now but she will not chew anything from chews to specifically bought bones, she wont let me clean her teeth and the plaque off did nothing. The only bone type thing she...

Thanks Flobo for your reply, your little guy sounds a character. I am definitely going to leave things for now and see what happens. I hope that she will be ok, If I sense at any time that she is in discomfort or pain then I will have to do something. Keeping my fingers crossed

I have got the Logic as it was recommended on this site but she just does not like me doing anything to her. I managed to get her to lick a tiny bit off my finger but that was as far as it went, she will not let me clean her teeth at all I think I am just going to have to leave them and hope...

I have hade my rescue who is 10 yrs old for 2 years this July (thought it was longer, really seems like at times) She has had many health problems but at the moment it is her teeth and her allergies She had 12 teeth extracted Sep 2002 and teeth cleaning, but after seeing her post anaesthetic I...

Thanks JudyN, yes indeed I did mean kgs duh! Thanks for the advice I will carry on with a wing a day as I want her to get used to it, I will certainly try flash frying it, I thought I had read or been told that somewhere before but was not sure if I had imagined it or not, the smell will surely...

Have started biddy on a chicken wing a day hoping that chewing on the bone will help clean her teeth (have tried plaqueoff, 2 x toothpastes, bones from Honeys and off the butcher, dried sinews with no success at all) She has actually chewed on, ground down and devoured 3 chicken wings so far...

Thanks excuse me, she is already on raw food and the only treats she has are dehydrated liver. Have fed her raw this morning and will give her the chicken wing in place of her evening meal later on. Am hoping this will help clean her teeth

Thanks JoanneF will give that a go as she will eat out of my hand which was a definite no go at first. Fingers crossed this works

Have bought a load of chicken wings to freeze and hopefully feed once a day, have bought them to hopefully help cleaning of my dogs teeth and have loads of questions Biddy is a rescue that I have had coming up to 2 years, she has a lot of issues one of which is her teeth. She had 12 teeth...
