Hello, I recently picked up a lab/German shepherd. In the last week she's developed these spots. Unfortunately it's a Sunday now and the vets aren't open so hoping to post here and get some ease of mind until tomorrow (will be going to vets). She's waiting for her second vaccine (11weeks old)...

My dog (small dog) is very old (about 15) and has gradually started to deteriorate as you would sadly expect, noticeably more recently, although he is still fit for his age. I’m just wondering if I should be feeding him supplements? What do other owners of elderly dogs do? He has quite a weak...

My nine-year-old Yorkshire terrier has just been diagnosed with diabetes. I have diabetes myself, so I'm familiar with how it works. What's bothering me is that it's going to be a struggle to get her to adapt to a new routine. Usually, she eats four times a day. However, the vet's told me that...

As mentioned in my recent thread, Lady is no longer with us and so her Facebook profile is scheduled to be removed, but her fan page will still be up and running. She had a very happy life with my parents, she gave me unconditional love when I needed it, I wish I could have had a final moment...

Hi, My dog Mabel is a rescue dog. Before we got her, they said they were monitoring her mammary glands since when she was spayed they started to swell a bit. After a few weeks, she was all clear and they told us not to worry as it is common for spayed dogs to show lumps and bumps afterwards...

Hi all! :) Quite recently I've found some small odd things dotted around on one of my dogs. She's a lurcher cross, has epilepsy but apart from that, nothing else that we're aware of. These things are quite thin and hard and are sort of half embedded into the skin and half protruding out. Maybe...

It's been a while since I last posted on here. I finally patched things with my mother and got to see Lady the JRT whilst visiting my parents. My mother and I took Lady for a nice long walk in the beautiful sunshine but it was a very hot day so passed on on the couch. Here's some of the...

She's perfectly fine now, she's back to normal, she was just overeating and needs to lose a bit of weight. Her liver and gallbladder are enlarged but it appears it's been that way for a while. All the tests have come back normal, she just ate until she got dehydrated and gave herself a sore...

Monday night she was drinking too much water and going out to the toilet a lot and she ended up peeing herself which is very out of character of her so my mother took her to the vets yesterday morning as an emergency and Lady's stomach is in a lot of pain so she's been staying overnight on IV...
