Hi - the scratching and chewing makes me think of my dog who was suffering from pancreatitis. She would nibble on her sides/inside back legs as she was trying to soothe herself and that was the closest she could get to her tummy.
It doesn't sound like your dog has other symptoms of pancreatitis...
Hello all,
I'm looking to get a new bed (or two) for my pups. I get overwhelmed with all the options! I'm interested in ones that might be:
washable (or waterproof?)
best for burrowers (my terrier) or side/back sleepers (my spaniel)
thermal insulation?
cosy but not very furry (my terrier...
Thanks HooBear, it's great to hear from others' experiences.
We had her for a week back at 'Stage 2' and now she's had a week on the smaller increase taking 1/5 tin Purina & 60g of Burns a day (over 2 meals) without any problems. Thankfully!

Thanks so much Feverfew! I've made a note of those products to follow up on and the website looks like it'll be a great help. Great to hear your collie is doing well.
Hi,
I'm a relatively new owner to a working cocker Tilly and a Parson's terrier Archie.
Tilly's favourite things in life are to get pets from everyone she meet and to chase squirrels with murderous intent.

Hello, My spaniel had suspected pancreatitis a month ago. She recovered after taking an antibiotic (metrobactin) and probiotics (Purina Fortiflora). When she was ill, she was toileting in the house overnight.
She was on an easily-digestible low-fat diet (Purina...
