i have just recently had my beloved old field spaniel put to sleep. I know I did the right thing, but apart from being consumed by grief I am also beating myself up with the most appalling guilt. During the past two years I have been suffering from persistent vertigo which has affected my life...

Anyone watching this?  I can't believe the lives some poor puppies have and I can't believe any breeder would let a leonburger pup go to someone living in a flat! I find myself screaming at the TV in frustration or screwed up with embarrassment..  The programme does make some good comments and...

Did anyone see this last week and their comments about raw dog food I.e. That it can cause bacterial infections.  Anyone have anything to say??!!! juliatee

Help needed please! My elderly spaniel bitch is currently getting over a stomach upset. And eating rice and chicken nature diet and scrambled egg. Prior to that she was on a diet of Wafcol sensitive with a bit of Chappie and cooked veg and she was doing really well and then suddenly got really...

My 13 year old spayed spaniel bitch has been leaking urine and for the past few weeks propalin syrup has worked fine. She is now leaking again and I shall be going to the vet in the next few days. Anyone had any luck with any other treatment? She is leaking rather than having accidents...

Hi everyone, I have been aware that my elderly spaniel bitch has been drinking more than usual so I took her to the vet. The results of a blood test that he took were that her kidney results were just within normal parameter but she showed a high ALT(?) reading. She is going in for a ACTH...

As I understand it from Farming Today on Radio 4 and a story line sometime ago on the Archers dog owners should pick up dog poo even in the middle of nowhere as the Neospora gets into cattle and sheep this way thus infecting the animals that eat grass around the affecting poop and then gets into...

My poor old spaniel is having a bit of a bad time at the moment. Following three visits to the vet this week for sickness and diarrhoea and treatment with Maalax and Tagamet things still aren't right. She is better, drinking and eating expensive recovery diet but is frequently needing the...

Just been cleaning my spaniel's hairy smelly bottom as she has some diarrhoea and it looks a bit sore. Anyone any ideas what I can put on it that she won't try and lick off - nothing I suppose. Sudocreme says seek help if ingested so that's out. When the hair is dry I am going to give it all a...

My dog has been on this drug for about 6 months and it has been successful for her. Lately she has been off colour, eating grass and last night developed diarrhoea and bought up her tea and a lot of grass. I can't find that this drug causes stomach upsets, but I am wondering if anyone has had...

I posted recently concerning my dog who had a "stroke". She is doing well after this, managing about half a mile although tired and a bit wobbly when we get home. I feel this may be far too soon possibly but her other issue is that she also has developed a stomach ulcer so she is on appropriate...

My elderly spaniel bitch had what now turns out to be a stroke last night. To cut a long story short she went to the vet last night and diagnosed a severely arthritic hip and treated with a morphine based painkiller and metacalm jab. This morning her lack of coordinatin was worse and her head...

This happens occasionally with my dog, usually when I am about to go away!! Last night my dog was sick and was trying to heave up nothing once or twice this morning. My plan is to give her nothing today and four small meals of rice tomorrow gradually adding nature diet to the rice the following...

Here's the thing - my elderly spaniel's bean bag is in a parlous state, and needs topping up, she loves it and loves beating it around the place to make it comfortable. As she has some spinal arthritis would she be better with a memory foam bed? (She likes my memory foam mattress!) or, if I...

How much exercise should a 5 month old collie pup safely get . I am concerned for a pup belonging to a friend of mine who has been taking her pup on long walks most days,( right from the beginning) anything up to 7 - 8 miles on some occasions . This dog is off working stock and my friend says...

I recently posted expressing my concerns for my elderly field spaniel bitch thinking she was starting heart failure, and took her to the vet..He declared her in perfect health but was concerned her back is slightly arched so he felt along her spine and when he got to the sacroiliac are she sat...

I have a twelve year old field spaniel bitch. I am concerned as to how much exercise to give her as lately she has become slower and finds the hills where I live (and unavoidable) hard work. She has no arthritis ,eats and drinks normally, poo and pee ok and is up for a short romp with the...

I am feeling really anxious. My 10 year old field spaniel bitch is having a general anaesthetic tomorrow to remove a lump that is subcutaneous. It is too deep to do a needle aspiration for biopsy without anaesthetising her so the whole thing might just as well come out. It is a very small lump...
