It will be 3 years on the 10th May since I lost my darling Rusty and 3 years on the 8th November since I lost my darling Pepe just 6 months apart and I still miss them both so so much. Rusty is on the left in the blue harness and Pepe is in the black harness.

I use natures menu country hunter wet for my 13 month old toy poodle which is suitable from 20 weeks before then I used butchers puppy perfect wet. I also use canagan piccolo dry food (available from Pets Corner) which is suitable from 8 weeks, they are both grain free.I am lucky Teddy is a good...

My toy poodle Pepe the smaller one in the photo started licking Or eating mud which is apparently called Pica but at the time I noticed his gums were very pale almost white so I took him to the vets for a blood test which came back that he was very anaemic. It is probably not that with your dog...

Sorry I got carried away with my last post telling you about my other poodles.This is a list of what a bought in preparation for Teddy having got rid of everything I had for Rusty and Pepe as I wasn’t going to have another dog as it was so upsetting losing both of them, but I changed my mind the...

I have had toy poodles all my life at the moment I have number 7 Teddy who is 20 weeks old today. He is registered as a red and will be going for his first grooming session this Thursday the 2nd July earliest I could get. Teddy sleeps in a crate at night and I bought him an Xs harness when he...

I did by the way fill in a form on line to Defra explaining about Pepe but have heard nothing back.

He didn’t show a reaction at the time of the injection but the white blood cell problem happened a week or two after. I realised something wasn’t quite right when he lost his appetite which was very unusual for him so I took him to the vets and requested a blood test which showed the white blood...

My last toy poodle Pepe the slightly smaller one in the photo had lepto 4 in September 2016 and was never well again until we lost him in November 2018 and although I can’t prove it I am sure the vaccine caused problems with his immune system. He had a problem with his white blood cells to start...

I lost my toy poodle Rusty on May 10th 2018 and then 6 months later Pepe on the 8th November 2018 so I know just what you are going through I still miss them dreadfully even though I now have a nearly 12 week old toy poodle puppy called Teddy. I waited quite a long time before getting him as I...

I didn’t realise you could give dogs quorn I use to give Pepe beef chicken lamb or fish together with sweet potato carrot cauliflower broccoli and peas for example.I didn’t tend to give rice as he had always had grain free dog food. I don’t suppose you can give any of the meat and fish I...

I know how you feel I had the same problem with Pepe who had kidney disease and was supposed to have a renal diet which he had for a while but I used Royal Canin renal pouches rather than the cans as they were little pieces of meat rather than a sticky mush. When he wouldn’t eat those any more I...

I lost my toy poodle Rusty on May 10th 2018 and then my other toy poodle Pepe both in the photo on November 8th 2018 just short of 6 months apart. I now have a 10 week old toy poodle puppy called Teddy from the same breeder so he is related and although he is a lovely little chap I still get...

I must admit we didn’t have pet insurance for Rusty and Pepe as we paid ourselves when the need arouse so not sure whether we will get insurance next time, because I think although we spent an awful lot on vet bills the last coupe of years I think we would have spent more on insurance over the...

I have also filled in the form but have excluded the vets details as well. I am in a quandary about what to do about the new pups injections so I have emailed the breeder to see if she can offer any advice. Thank you for putting the link up for the form, I will let you know if I hear anything...

Thanks for advising me I think I might fill in the form too as I think this needs looking into.

Well done for doing that where did you find all the information they ask for was it off the sticker on his vaccination card? I will definitely ask about the lepto 2 jab instead when I get my new pup the problem will be if my vets only stock lepto 4 as I am not sure whether I could go to another...

Thank you they were indeed well loved and spoilt as i’m Sure Murphy was.

I felt the same as you just after I lost Pepe but as time has gone on I find the house is so empty without a dog. My 3 sons are all grown up and I have grandchildren that I look after 2 days a week. I have been in touch as I have already said with Rusty and Pepe’s breeder because it somehow...

Yes his red blood count was 7 and he was on the steroids for 10 months, when the vet got the results they called me to ask me to take him straight to the surgery for a steroid injection immediately followed by tablets so he was obviously very ill.

That’s very interesting Pepe had his lepto 4 jab in September 2016 and the following month he had problems with his white blood cells which was treated with antibiotics for a few weeks then in January 2017 he was diagnosed like Murphy with severe anaemia his blood count was down to 7 and he was...
