    A Memory To The Ones We Loved

    It will be 3 years on the 10th May since I lost my darling Rusty and 3 years on the 8th November since I lost my darling Pepe just 6 months apart and I still miss them both so so much. Rusty is on the left in the blue harness and Pepe is in the black harness.

    Eating Mud

    My toy poodle Pepe the smaller one in the photo started licking Or eating mud which is apparently called Pica but at the time I noticed his gums were very pale almost white so I took him to the vets for a blood test which came back that he was very anaemic. It is probably not that with your dog...

    Getting A Toy Poodle Puppy

    I have had toy poodles all my life at the moment I have number 7 Teddy who is 20 weeks old today. He is registered as a red and will be going for his first grooming session this Thursday the 2nd July earliest I could get. Teddy sleeps in a crate at night and I bought him an Xs harness when he...

    Vaccines and boosters..

    He didn’t show a reaction at the time of the injection but the white blood cell problem happened a week or two after. I realised something wasn’t quite right when he lost his appetite which was very unusual for him so I took him to the vets and requested a blood test which showed the white blood...

    Vaccines and boosters..

    My last toy poodle Pepe the slightly smaller one in the photo had lepto 4 in September 2016 and was never well again until we lost him in November 2018 and although I can’t prove it I am sure the vaccine caused problems with his immune system. He had a problem with his white blood cells to start...

I waited quite a long time before getting him as I...

    Is it common for older dogs to go off food?

    I didn’t realise you could give dogs quorn I use to give Pepe beef chicken lamb or fish together with sweet potato carrot cauliflower broccoli and peas for example.I didn’t tend to give rice as he had always had grain free dog food. I don’t suppose you can give any of the meat and fish I...

    Is it common for older dogs to go off food?

    I know how you feel I had the same problem with Pepe who had kidney disease and was supposed to have a renal diet which he had for a while but I used Royal Canin renal pouches rather than the cans as they were little pieces of meat rather than a sticky mush. When he wouldn’t eat those any more I...

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    I must admit we didn’t have pet insurance for Rusty and Pepe as we paid ourselves when the need arouse so not sure whether we will get insurance next time, because I think although we spent an awful lot on vet bills the last coupe of years I think we would have spent more on insurance over the...

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    I have also filled in the form but have excluded the vets details as well. I am in a quandary about what to do about the new pups injections so I have emailed the breeder to see if she can offer any advice. Thank you for putting the link up for the form, I will let you know if I hear anything...

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    Well done for doing that where did you find all the information they ask for was it off the sticker on his vaccination card? I will definitely ask about the lepto 2 jab instead when I get my new pup the problem will be if my vets only stock lepto 4 as I am not sure whether I could go to another...

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    I felt the same as you just after I lost Pepe but as time has gone on I find the house is so empty without a dog. My 3 sons are all grown up and I have grandchildren that I look after 2 days a week. I have been in touch as I have already said with Rusty and Pepe’s breeder because it somehow...

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    Yes his red blood count was 7 and he was on the steroids for 10 months, when the vet got the results they called me to ask me to take him straight to the surgery for a steroid injection immediately followed by tablets so he was obviously very ill.

    Grief of losing dog unbearable

    That’s very interesting Pepe had his lepto 4 jab in September 2016 and the following month he had problems with his white blood cells which was treated with antibiotics for a few weeks then in January 2017 he was diagnosed like Murphy with severe anaemia his blood count was down to 7 and he was...
