So, I broke my ankle last week and my girl has been extra cuddly with me even touching my leg, her temperature seems to be almost back to normal, no accidents, poop mostly better but there has been a few times when she has squatted on a walk and nothing at all has came out or a tiny tiny amount...

Thanks, will have a look at other products. Though it was last year I bought Aldi working dog food last year, it was in the middle aisle not the dog food aisle i.e the "special buy" so may of been the grain free. that was the food that gave her rock solid poops though I may of been giving her...

I give her Asda Hero brand dry food and Aldi/Lidl brand wet food tins. I know Supermarket brand dry food isn't the best so happy to find out a place to get the better food cheaper. I put her on Asda brand dry food as this is has been working for her the past year, Aldi brand working dog dry...

Was at vets today, different one than usual who said what we have all mentioned before it could be diet related, they did take the stool samples I saved over past few days for testing too Since Tuesday her poop has been better, soft but not watery/gravy like.

They did ask for them about 6 weeks ago but her stomach got better (not the temperature though) so didn't do them and after the blood tests came back they said test stool now. Could be some element of anxiety as there's German Shepherds behind my house and they have been barking more and more...

She barks gets reactive around all German Shepherds, other dogs shes more random often just gives the odd stare and stands still whilst they pass be that on the other side of road or same, I want to lower the risk of her reacting and the randomness of it, there's things that are more likely to...

Is this in relation to her reactivity or her health issues? I took her to a trainer twice when she was younger, behaviour wise she isn't that bad she is controllable for the most part when she reacts to dogs and stops as quickly as she starts, as soon as the other dog passes by once the...

It is difficult to narrow down, at best guess gender plays a part as pre spaying which was around 18 months ago she was friendlier with male dogs and a bit quieter around female dogs, now the opposite seems true plus even then she used to submit i.e lie down and if dog got close roll on her...

Update on this, bloods came back fine but shes gotten worse again out of nowhere, took her on holiday 2 weeks ago and no issues and she stopped chewing the grass in morning, came back and her issues got worse again but I did complicate things a little because I stopped her supplements about a...

Sorry to butt in, will make my own thread if necessary, my BC is random when she sees dogs small dogs she is fine with unless they start barking and/or pull on their leads at which she will bark and basically lunge left and right around me, this is even when dogs are on other side of road and...

Well it doesn't help I have used 2 different vet's I mostly went to the nearest PSDA which is 15 miles away but as I use public transport the journey is exhausting, like walk around 14 minutes to bus stop that goes near the hospital and it has a level crossing next to it so sometimes I may wait...

Had a few similar threads in past but backstory and update. She has always been a bit awkward when it comes to toilet habits wanting out often, going through phases of every 4-6 weeks having accidents for a few days then fine, wanting out once during night etc. Back in November I changed her...

This is how my relatives new BC was with my female BC when he left, probaby a way to say goodbye.

They seemed to calm to each other over time, I think he has a crush on her. After relatives returned both were chill, boy Collie I was told was quiet and whining after he was home and my girl was calm too. By the final day together they were following each other around the home and napping...

Just till tomorrow, I have tried putting him in another room but hes a barker when he thinks he is left alone, I take them into garden on their own and he barks when I do that, only for about a minute or two. Also thought if I put them in different rooms it would be distressing for him, so...

Easier said than done. If I see him walk towards her I see if she's lying down if she stand I call him back but sometimes I have my eyes on my tablet I do catch it though and he does come to me.

That was my thinking she's fine if he is calm even sniff each other wagging tails but when he is more forward she backs off and looks nervous.

Relatives recently got a 2 year old male BC and needed a dogsitter I saw it as a good opportunity for my girl to bond and socialise first night relatives were there and both collies on leash for 4 hours when let go my girl was overwhelmed as boy wouldn't get away from her and was showing her...

Still no accidents, and for the most part shes calming down had a workman in my house the other day and she wanted a fuss but I told her to get off and workman was fine, she sat down wagging her tail and she did jump and want a fuss but sat down when told off and workman petted her and then she...

Still no accidents apart from the storm last week, she wasn't frightened by that but due to being in a red area I risked taking her on a walk to end of my street which is about 2 or 3 minutes to her potty spot and despite wearing a heavy jacket my hands were red raw, changed to amber around...
