    If your in an area that's got adders it may be worth speaking to your vets and asking for some antihystamines, for you to carry when out, as administering antihistamines soon after being bitten can help a great deal, whilst your sorting to get to a vet. http://rhodes-2-safety.co.uk/?p=880 There are some vets who do adder packs, http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Pack-help-dogs-bitten-adders/story-11422432-detail/story.html

    Try useing a flirt pole, it can help develop the turning and strike, you can make your own useing a lunge whip and a lightweight soft toy, if you do make one try not to over do it as it can be physically demanding on a young dog.

    Feed a couple of chicken wings a day, should help to loosen it up for it to come out my pup was the same, if it doesn't come out though it will need removing as it can cause the adult tooth to grow wrong and also could cause problems and create an abnormal jaw position

    Shes possibly having a silent season, it can happen a lot in younger dogs and some older ones as well, you would need to watch out for womb infections, as dogs get older hormones lessen - at age 8 a dog is normally considered as coming in to old age and everything starts to decrease, you would have to have a swab done to test when shes in full heat. My old bitch used to have them, dogs would get interested in her but she wouldn't let any near her, in the 8/9 years i had her i never once saw her have a proper season.

    Ask if they can refer you to an osteopath, often they can pick up a lot more than a vet can. and will treat accordingly.

    Your right it is - but it can be sorted quite easily without having to lay a finger on a dog Bullying a dog isn't the answer as alls you do is supress the problem not cure it, a dog does not understand what your doing by taking food away, giving it back - then taking it away again and neither does it understand what your trying to achieve by pinning As far as the dogs concerned you could be trying to kill it.What would you do if I gave you a thousend pound then went to take it away again or even grabbed you pinned you down to take it what would you be thinking, feeling?

    You can also use vinegar and water mix, one part white vinegar to one part water It does the same as the drops do, one of my past dogs had constant ear problems and it helped to clear the ear out, if the drum is damaged though never use vinegar.

    http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_the_parvo_virus_in_the_environ.html THE VIRUS IN THE ENVIRONMENT / DISINFECTION Because the canine parvovirus is not enveloped in fat the way the distemper virus is, canine parvovirus is especially hardy in the environment. It is readily carried on shoes or clothing to new areas (which accounts for its rapid worldwide spread shortly after its original appearance). It is able to overwinter freezing temperatures in the ground outdoors plus many household disinfectants are not capable of killing it indoors. Given that this is such a tough virus to

    Two of the dogs found at this place a cocker spaniel and a pug were chipped and have been returned to their owners, so microchipping does work and would suspect most of the dogs in the list are stolen dogs. Updated info will be posted on doglost, there currently trying to get photos of the found dogs, but are being messed around. http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=63092#.UtgADfs2Zul

    Some dogs get over being nettled some don't and it affects them every time, my 3 year old bitch reacts to them, but normally its when we get home they start to bother her, my 10 month pup reacts badly to them and thinks hes getting murdered. Have been seeing lots of young nettles coming up in the last week or so.

    Rickets is mainly caused by one of two things, poor diet the dog not getting what it needs or a diet to high in protein were as the bone is growing quicker than the tendons are in the first case of poor diet, its easily solved by feeding a better quality diet in the second case feed a lower protein. You dont need to feed things like calcium tabs etc, a couple of chicken wings or rib bones a day will do the exact same job, vid d can be gained natually by the pup spending time outside for half an hour or so. Cod liver oil has vit d in it, so probably why it worked.

    Most services have them, have parked up on quite a few and sat there watching them hop around, problem is there's to many people around and they would get complaints about cute little bunnys being killed.

    Stellas body was found this morning by a tracker dog. Run free Stella :'(

    Thanks Stig. The person who saw her that christmas night said she headed towards the chicken farm, from there there's been nothing.

    Nothing at all, no sightings nothing. They now think the one in boston may have been a lurcher that was possibly left behind, there had been coursers in that area the night before. They had a tracker dog out yesterday and although the dog picked up a scent, it lead to just the last positive sighting of her and that was near the stadium on Christmas night. Thanks Stig, if you could contact Sandy Stella s owner and have a chat with her, think they possibly need help checking farms out etc as it could be Stella's laying low during the day. 07901884805 / 07795956031

    Stella went missing on Christmas day she was badly injured and bleeding when she took flight, She was last seen Christmas night on the golf course about 3 miles away from where she went missing, Stella doesn't know the area as they are on holiday at a caravan park when it happened. Please cross post, Stella can be nervous and could bolt if approached, there's been no sightings of her since Christmas night. Please ring if sighted - 07901884805 / 07795956031 If anyone is able to help search it would be much appreciated please ring or text numbers above, owners are due to go back home

    I wouldn't apply anything else yet - as you are going to end up poisoning your pups, both the products you have used are crap to say the least - but are still chemicals a lot of times fleas live in the environment only going on the animal to feed, you need to treat the environment around them as well as sorting them out, vets sell a household flea spray called Indorex it lasts 12 months and not only kills the flea, but stops the development of any larvae and egg. I would clean the kennel out, make sure its clean and dry and then spray this, making sure to get in to every nook and crann

    We used to always cut across the field at the back to watch the racing, was all open at the time so you could sit on the grass and watch everything - not been for years.

    I've used Manuka honey a few times for small wounds after you suggested it a while ago Penny. Under what circumstances would you recommend drying the wound with wound powder? Thanks. None wounds need moisture to heal and by removing that moisture it can slow down wound healing.
