Thank you Chalkie. It has been a sad year dog wise, we lost one of our other rescues in February after 4 lovely years together. Such a heart breaking experience.

Thank you for your reply. Sadly we had to make the heart breaking decision to send Prince to the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago. He started to mess on himself and was so anxious all the time, pacing at night etc. He went very peacefully and I hope he had a last final year with us.

Hi. I have a 9 year old female lab that I rescued just over 4 years ago. In the last few months there have been a few disruptions to her life. I got her in a pair but the other one died earlier this year. We also rescued an older male lab about a year ago and he died a few weeks ago. We have...

I posted a while back that my old boy Prince was unwell & it turned out he had a gastro infection which now all sorted. But since he has been feeling better his behaviour has changed. We got a pug puppy about 5 weeks ago, Prince does not tolerate him well. He is nippy & jumpy & wants to play...

The vet thinks he has a gastro infection so he has had an anti-sickness/nausea injection & I have antibiotics for him. He has had nothing to eat today but was sick in the car on the way home from the vet, thank god for boot liners :) Have got to stop giving him the pain killers as they may be...

I decided to bit the bullet a couple of nights ago & brought the crate upstairs. I put it on my bed, put his bed in it & a puppy pad. I put some treats in it & put him in it. I stayed where he could see me & he cried for around 40 minutes. I praised him when he was quiet & eventually he went to...

Didn't have a very good night. Prince was really sick at about 1 am & it had a strong fruity smell, really sweet. I've looked up what it could mean & it is pointing towards diabetes :( So we're off to the vet this morning. Will let you know the outcome.

Thanks for your replies. I bought some live yogurt & mixed it in with his usual food this evening & he had a couple of mouthfuls & walked away. I was also feeding the puppy at the time & when Prince walked away from his food, Winston (puppy) started eating it. The next thing Prince was eating...

Thanks. I read somewhere that Kefir was very good for getting probiotics into dogs. He has not had a day where he's not eaten anything, this morning he ate maybe half of what I gave him. This afternoon I made up a smaller portion and he sniffed it and walked away. I'm wondering about mixing an...

Hi. Thanks for your reply. He has only had the puppy food for a couple of days to see if he would eat it. They are fed a complete raw diet that he has been happy on for months but has suddenly stopped eating. There is a senior version so I will get some of that and give it a go. Just to clarify...

Hi all. We got a pug puppy a couple of weeks ago at 8 weeks. I bought a crate for him to sleep in but things have not worked out well with that. We tried putting him in it and he howls and barks & gets really anxious. Now he won't go in it at all. I have 2 older dogs that I take out twice a day...

Hi. I am after some advice. Around 10 months ago we took in a 13 year old rescue lab. He was suppose to be a foster but we failed & he had to stay :) When he first came he wouldn't eat out of bowl or the raw meat our their 2 eat. So we started him slowly with some kibble on the floor, then on...
