What a dilemma for you, it has almost reduced me to tears. I really do feel for you. My sister had to have 2 dogs put to sleep at different times one of which I was so attached to and it is like grieving a human, an awful experience. I hope you are able to make the decision and be happy that...

Thank you all for your replies and advice which has helped me to start Biddy on raw food which has helped enormously I think, though it is early days Her scooting has completely stopped. She used to poo 3 to 4 times a day, semi hard turning to soft then loose. Now it is once a day (rarely...

Thanks arealhuman, I was adding fish oil to her previous food but Honeys said to leave it and maybe give once or twice a week if I thought she needed it. I think I will start adding it twice a week. She also has the skippers flatties, when she feels like it (takes her about 4 days to get...

Thanks JudyN, yes the mousse and shampoo did seem to work last time but it was not near as bad as it is now I must admit I have not been as careful in checking her skin as I should, she hates being examined or having anything applied and was starting lo be wary of me and looking as if to say...

There have been so many issues with Biddy that this is one that I thought was sorted but has returned with a vengeance. She has scaly scurfy types of skin on her chest and stomach, almost like thin scabs. I have been to 3 different vets concerning this in the past (all gave differing views from...

Right I will definitely keep an eye on her and see if this continues She is eating and drinking with no problems and absolutely loves the raw food and the treats I had from Honeys and am continuing with the fish skin chews for her teeth I do hope she is not in pain, if it is stress then I will...

Thanks Flobo and RGC I totally understand now, what probably started as a one off was just made worse by me becoming frustrated, I tried different harnesses in case she had taken a dislike to one, I am now back to a collar which she prefers but I don't, as she is not safe near roads and I do not...

Thanks JudyN, I think she would definitely have picked up on my anxiety and emotions as I just felt so frustrated. Poor thing she would have had no idea what was stressing me out so I just made the situation worse. Another lesson learned, will just take it day by day and see how she goes

Thank you all so much for your replies. I took her out this morning and it was awful, I encouraged her to take the lead but she just stood, I went to turn back home but she refused so we carried on, she trailed behind and then when we had to cross the road she dug her heels in and refused. I...

Thanks JudyN I am unsure what to try next. I have sat on a bench many times when out with her but all she does is stand and wait for me to get up again. She makes no attempt to go off sniffing or exploring on her own even if I take and throw her favorite ball, but she is happy to sniff every...

JudyN thank you so much for your reply, I have done the bit at standing at the end of the lead, folded my arms and turned away and she did just stand there, but I always gave in She is managing ok at spending times on her own, she is coping better than me, I worry constantly till I get back home...

I've had biddy 13 months and she has made amazing progress. Her physical problems are almost all sorted but I do not think she is ever going to to be your normal happy go lucky type of dog but as long as she is as happy as she can be that is ok She has had free reign for 12 months, everything...

Thanks Joanne F and Judy N for your replies, I'm going to take your advice and forget about the raw feeding for now and just give her the tails food. I was feeding her Harringtons at first but she seemed to prefer the tails (I only use the ones that come in small 100 or 150 gm containers so...

Thank you for your replies JoanneF, I have been to the vet with so many issues which I hope now are resolved but she still has a problem with anal glands, runny eyes which vet says is due to pollen and dry scurfy skin and coat (no itching) which has resolved with special food and yumove dry and...

None of my friends or relatives seem to have the same problems I do with feeding a correct dog diet yet here I am again. After receiving excellent advice from this site about everything regarding Biddys health and especially about raw feeding and after reading Honeys natural feeding I decided to...

Oh my heavens what a beautiful dog. If I had a choice he is exactly what I would have chosen. Maybe if I had been left to my own choice I would never have owned a dog, who knows, but I have been chosen to rescue Biddy so my goal is to ensure that she has a good life. He is so beautiful though I...

Thanks JoanneF, I placed an order with them yesterday and was supposed to have received a 25% off voucher code sent to me but it did not arrive. I did get 15% off. Anyway have emailed them. Thanks for your reply Excuseme. She is 9yrs old and I have had her a year now, I know I am going to...

Thanks JoanneF I will give the skippers fish skin a try and see if she will tolerate them Her problems never seem to end, there is always something but I am hoping that if I can get her on the best diet then most of the problems may be eased

I have a problem with my little mutts teeth She has already had 12 tooth extractions due to plaque build up and bad diet (Ithink} She will not let me clean her teeth, have also tried the finger tip option, she will not let me do much really The vet has said there is a little bit of plaque build...

Could not wait any longer as she kept staring at me and I know it was because she wanted food I gave her 50gms of chappie with 25gms of boiled white rice which she gulped down That was 30 mins ago and she seems fine, definitely more awake and alert than previously Hopefully it was just a stomach...
