vet details/advice needed


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the reply samba.

 

A few have suggested trimming his nails back a bit.

Thanks sowhat!

 

Hes going to have a big pair of back legs on his to. Just like jack.

 

Ive been thinkin about this toe, does anyone know if apple cidre vinager would help by reducing calcification? Im no good at science but my train of thought was that it works for arthritis which is calcification of the joint so it should work for this......?
