Due to my little Dolly taking a tumble and suffering an injury (or more specifically, re injuring an old injury from a previous owner grrrrr) it is almost certain she will develop arthritis in one hip. She is fed raw and I make sure to give her sufficient oily fish, olive oil etc for her...

Don't want to jump on and turn this into a raw feeding thread but I have to echo everything that excuseme has said.....I cannot state enough how raw feeding improved my little dog. He often got an upset tummy and had terrible wind but now on raw he does great, stomach settled, in great...

Sorry to hear of your loss. I always hate having to make these decisions. I remember one particular lurcher of mine years back (also brindle) who had been rescued (broken teeth, stick thin, wandering the streets) She was older and an absolute wonderful dog. had her for a few years when out...

When I have collected new dogs (many times - I rescue/rehome) I always make sure the dogs have met first and get on then 9 times out of ten collect the new dog and bring home to the others where we would go a walk together before taking the new dog into the house. However I wasn't on my own...

Are Bedlington terriers prone to skin conditions? I am considering adopting a 3 year old whippet/Bedlington. I have plenty whippet experience but none with Bedlingtons. According to current owner the wee mite has itchy skin. vet has ruled our mange and flees and is putting it down to excema...

The vaccine debate is one I have long since followed with interest! And I too have tested before vaccinating. I don't judge anyone and I expect not to be judged but in my opinion I don't want to over vaccinate my dogs unneccesarily. I actually know of multiple people who DON'T vaccinate. I...

Dogs have their collars or harnesses on (varies.) I prefer a harness on my oldest whippet since I discovered he was epileptic one thing I learned was that an often overlooked cause of seizures can be a collar causing damage - rare but worth noting. Mines spend most of their time off lead so I...

Raw chicken wings work a treat! Mine like chewing on ribs too!

Any recommendations? Preferably one that does hand stripping (Akita) found loads online but wanted to check for recommendations first?

I keep telling myself that he doesn't know what's happening and he bounces back so well but it's horrible to watch The fact that he is epileptic makes no difference to me I love him more than anything and will provide anything he needs but I was advised to let his breeder know and anyone...

So cash's epilepsy really isn't bad in comparison to many other dogs but he has a very small seizure on our walk tonight and I am just so upset for him. He loves life and it doesn't affect him but makes me so sad. He is currently cuddled into me and I am fighting tears. I don't think it helps...

I do tend to frequent the JR website for a "look".....I "stumbled" across both my babies by accident almost (well I was looking for a second to keep Cash company, but Dolly wasn't actually advertised anywhere I just happened upon her current owner and mentioned needing a companion for him and as...

I am not experienced in buying pedigree pups as I tend to rescue/rehome but what I will say is this...be very very careful and wary re breeders. My gorgeous pedigree whippet boy was bought by myself when he was one from the breeder who had taken him off his original home as he wasn't being...

I can't help it...I am addicted...I love them. And I am getting broody for a 3rd (I have always had 3)...I have been having a sneaky look online to see if there are any needing homes! I tend not to buy puppies - personal preference, I prefer to rehome a slightly "older" dog as opposed to a...

I love when Cash snuggles in to me when I go for a nap...he wiggles his little bum right in and then I put my arm around him and he tucks his head in. Just love it. I love when Dolly takes a little sprint....Cash runs all the time with his toys but Dolly is still coming out her shell and is...

Hi all I have not been on here for a few weeks so thought I would check in and say hi! Been busy with various things then it was Mr Cash's 5th birthday on Friday (13th) so of course he was spoiled! Still being completely ignored by his breeder and other breeders of his family though yesterday...

Cash - after Johnny Cash Dolly-after Dolly Parton I would love another little boy and he would be "Nelson"...can you tell I'm a country music fan :) I also had a cat called Elvis...my chickens are Blake and Miranda.....

Just seen this now! Thanks for this! I will advise on Facebook also to let my friends know!

Thanks Dogmatize I don't believe there to be a risk from Dolly, the first seizure Cash had Dolly slept through it! And the last 2 she just stood beside me while I tried to comfort Cash then immediately afterwards she cuddled into him as he lay sleeping! Hope (Akita) as I mentioned is kept...

Thank you Dogmatize When he had his first the vet did say he may never have another! She (and I) are hopeful that they will remain just being every couple of months and he will live as normal. Right now it has no effect on his general life. After a seizure he has a good sleep then is back to...
