Not sure whether this is the correct stream. My query ISN’T urgent. Is there a human soap/shampoo that we can use on our whippet? We’re down in Cornwall so no pet shops within easy reach. Mabel’s not itchy nor in discomfort but, in this heat, I’m sure that she’d would appreciate a cool bath.

Yes, I remember those girls. Our sixth form at Weybridge was mixed with the young ladies from St. Maur’s - what fun, even as a boarder!

Had obviously survived boarding school food….

We’re currently in Cornwall in a house with a huge lawn which seems to be a gathering place for rabbits. There’s no problem with the rabbits as they leg it as soon as the kitchen door is opened but Mabel had taken to eating their droppings. She will desist if checked but she will nibble these...

How can he do anything wrong? Adorable.

I agree 100% with JudyN. With the blessing of your vet indulge him. Ours would always fall on chicken. I wish you both well.

I don't understand why the term 'pedant' is used pejoratively. The striving for correct English usage is to be approved. Similarly I've heard the expression 'N.I.M.B.Y' cast as an expression of scorn at a family who expressed concern at woodland which had hitherto been protected but had come...

In which part of Cornwall are you staying, Tinytom? We’re coming down on Friday. Can’t wait. Is that Pendower?

Such altruism.

Fingers crossed, indeed. Please let the Forum know as to his progress. I know it’s gradual but by nature we’re patient.

He’s super. Good for you. Enjoy him.

He’s a lovely boy. How old? When did the itching become apparent? Did you get a reply from Nick Thompson?

We only give Mabel her half Apoquel tablet on a daily basis when we note her persistent itching (early Spring) and stop it circa October/November. Haven’t noticed any adverse effects. This has been the regime for four years - she was seven last month. It’s seems to be a question of catching the...

Thanks, Hemlock. reassurance much appreciated.

Sorry I forgot. Would colostrum benefit Mabel as opposed to apoquel?

Mabel’s also on apoquel. She was in one helluva emotional state when we first got her. That was in the autumn of 2019 so I wouldn’t have thought that it was a reaction to pollen. Her heavy and persistent itching was just one of several problems from which she was suffering at the time. Amongst...

Welcome. Not sure whether it’s a fashion issue but I haven’t seen as many corgis as I used to. The few that I’ve met have been amazing characters.

Wow, that’s harmony. We’ve always had cats and sighthounds in the family. A wonderful relationship.

Best of luck. As and when please let us have photos. I know it’s early days but there are lots of sighthound owners/lovers here.

Melts one’s heart. She’s lovely.
