Le mot juste, JudyN. Comme d’habitude.

Thank you for all contributions. JudyN, I did look at the contents list on the back of a pack and it does mention eggs without detailing the proportional percentage. I haven’t had any charcoal biscuits to give her over the past few days and yet the flatulence hasn’t been as extreme - hasn’t made...

Thank you, arealhuman. I’ll try the logic gel with her. She’s no problem with my examining her mouth when she’s got something stuck ‘twixt gum and cheek so I’m sure she’ll let me. I won’t try the inner side of her molars - that’d be pushing it somewhat.

I have concerns re “…..when we go out and leave him for long hours.” Perhaps taking on such a commitment and responsibility at this stage of your family’s ‘evolution’ wasn’t so well judged. What thoughts do you have with regard to having your pup rehomed in a more stable environment?

Heed the words of wisdom on the forum. They come (mainly) from experienced dog owners and the overwhelming message is to allow one’s dog their own space. We’ve always had whippets (rescues) and discovered how aloof they could be. I had hoped that, due to their gentle nature, our first two could...

Thank you, JoanneF. All suggestions are really appreciated. Since this morning I've had a slight altercation with a ladder. It overbalanced when I was moving it against the wall - I was clearing the guttering. No broken bones, just some muscular discomfort. I picked my timing well with the...

Many thanks for that, JudyN. Will give it a go. I’m assuming that Jasper had his own agenda with regard to what he found acceptable? Mabel’s probably of a similar mien. I do use petdrugsonline for Mabel’s Apoquel tablets but, for this one off tester, I’ll go via Amazon for speed and no delivery...

At her last check up Mabel’s bill of health was with flying colours BUT I was advised to keep an eye on the development of plaque on her molars. We do have a toothbrush which fits onto a finger but is there a toothpaste that she could accept. Although suspicious of new experiences she’ll eat for...

Thank you, JudyN. Funnily enough I took delivery of 8 x 1kg active mixed mince packs yesterday. They’re in the outside freezer in the garage. Will have a look tomorrow. A propos nothing, had a run through of some numbers last eve for a gig in June. Got home at 23.40. Definitely too old for this...

JudyN, thank you. I’ve searched Cotswold Raw and can’t find any reference to eggs - chicken, yes. Mabel loves the conservatory but she’s sensible enough to come into the drawing room when it gets to regulo 12.

Thank you to everyone who had something to say - everything appreciated plus the humour. Will examine her foodstuffs scrupulously. Ow going to watch “Dog Academy” until my Dignitas vibe kicks in. No, stuff it, I’ve got Latin homework to prepare. valete, omnes.

I’ve asked this question before and received helpful answers however….. Mabel’s on a raw diet - Cotswold Raw. It’s mainly in the evenings when she’s settled on the sofa that she’ll let one fly with its unique pungency. I have been giving her charcoal biscuits but this time they don’t seem to...

That is amazing. You’ve taught me something (again). Thank you, Feverfew.

I’ll add my comment with regard to raw - our whippet has been on raw for quite a few years and the only time she’s had runny poos is with eating something else - scavaged on a walk or a disgusting dehydrated animal part (as oily as hell) from a pet shop. Of course a vet may state that raw is a...
