  1. Sounds like interdigital cysts, or a chronic deep pyoderma. Sometimes respond to long courses of antibiotics, but some require surgery to cure Jim
  2. There's no lungworm in dogs. Roundworms go through a migratory stage involving the lungs which can cause a soft cough. Kennel cough? Upper respiratory infection? Harsh/soft cough? What age is pup, and is he off colour at all? Jim
  3. Egg's fine - still got lots? OK if I bring FI and 2 kids as well? see you tomorrow!!!!!???????
  4. I'll sort them so they won't run away from you ever again Mind you, they won't run anywhere after again!! Or I could come and shoot some rabbits for you? Jimxx
  5. Its illegal here - classed as unjustified mutilation.
  6. Lerwick Down to Ewen Johnston in Bigton for stuff. Always end up spending more than i intend to though!!
  7. Think they're £30-£40 Jim
  8. Whichever one you're prescribed. Some are better than others for specific conditions - thats's why they're not handed out like smarties. Jim
  9. It's a POM-V and can't be obtained without a prescription. Speyed a bitch today that had had one of these injections 4 weeks ago - yuk; uterus was all inflammed but not infected yet! Keep an eye on her for the next few weeks in case a pyometra develops Jim
  10. I've seen more adverse reactions to metacam than to rimadyl. Bear in mind, that although you won't be charged for the prescription, you may be charged for the initial examination, or "medicines determination fee". We're not allowed to prescribe POM-V's for an animal without having a knowledge of that animal (so don't get pissed off when you ask or a prescription for something, and are told that you can't have one without the animal being examined) Jim
  11. Gas rams They were around £60 a few years ago. Most of the noise from a springer that you hear is from the piston, cos you're so close to it. I've never tried it, but stand 20-30 yards away and get a friend to shoot it to get a true indication of how it'll sound to a rabbit. still think the pellet hitting the head is louder though!!
  12. Gas ram is a pressurised piston thingy to replace the spring. Made by Theoben as an after market add on for a range of springers.
  13. Lightning will outshoot most folk - lovely little gun. Add a gas ram and the're even sweeter. Look much nicer than AA200 and no need to worry about bottles, pumps etc. Jim
  14. Only if they're clean! And I would wear a hard hat as well?
  15. Get him to the vet and stop trying to diagnose things yourself! You'll be wanting to geld ponies on your own next? Jim
  16. It's a mite infestation very itchy and causes thickening of the skin Jim
  17. It's a complete waste of time and effort. Use a modern wormer or don't worm at all Jim
