When it happened to my cat, there was no bone to operate on as it had been eroded by the abscess. So the vet gave the cat a general anaesthetic and stitched over and over on the gum where the break was to just put the jaw in the right position and wait for calcification to occur. It worked very well. She was a mid-aged cat and lived to be 16 in the end with no difficulty eating afterwards - though for about 6 months she was on a liquidised diet. Good luck.

Well, that is what my vet wanted at the time. I would have thought protein for the healing process and carbs because they make you feel full and when you eat a high-carb diet, you want to sleep and sleep is the best healing process there is. Could be wrong, though and no, Mr Smartass, I did not go hunting with my cat. I actually didn't want my cat to move about much, just rest and heal, it seemed to work and she went on to live a perfectly normal life, eating anything and everything and having abosolutely no problem at all. Just my thoughts, so shoot me! There is always a smart-a

Exactly same thing happened to my cat! In the end, cat had to have jaw stitched over broken area and we confined her to the house, feeding only liquidy food and keeping her warm. I also sponge washed her every day as she couldn't do it herself. So I would keep him on a nearly liquid diet - high in protein and carbs. I would groom him daily so that he feels comfortable. Keep him away from other dogs that are bouncy, but if possible give him some company that won't hassle. Watch other dogs with him as quite often if there is an ill one in the pack, they can get nasty Painkillers fro

Hardly dare add my two penn'orth. But well done! Great pictures (I would be too excited to be able to point and click!) Did you use a phone camera? You must be very proud of your dogs all working together and so efficiently. Pignut

Thanks for the suggies. He was found wandering the streets of Hereford and is in the pound. I am having him shipped up to Shetland where he will live with my other Patt (?) and lurcher. He will have the run of 100 acres and countless rabbits and polecats. No one knows anything about his background but a friend has been to see him and said he was superb. He will mostly be a family dog that can hunt if he wants. Apparently he talks alot!!! Pignut I thought maybe Groucho, Grumble or Gristle or Grizzle.

What would you call him? 4 year old neutered male. Thanks Pignut

My 9 year old lurcher meeting our Patt pup bitch last May. A few films over the past year and now them playing today. Enjoy.

Lovely, really lovely!

Tail docking !! Government petition - please sign!!
Pignut replied to huntinggirl's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Signed. Agree about the circumcision comment - never really thought about it before, but you're right. Funny that. Anyway, I am not holding my breath with this petition but shy bairns get nowt. We'll see. Pignut -
I don't buy dog meat. My lot (lurcher and patt) get leftovers (no processed food in our house), raw mince and veg stalks or grated apple, or carrot. Sometimes a tin of pilchards or sardines. Sometimes boiled fish (depends what is lurking at the bottom of the freezer that needs eating). They seem ok on that. Happy and healthy and fit. If they are getting fat, less carbs and more veg.

a Caukasian Owtscharka - I want one. What a dog? Where can I get one? Pignut

Just "googled" the image and they are lovely little dogs. Are they kennel club recognised, as a breed? Thanks Pignut. PS Before anyone jumps down my neck, I will not have a KC recognised breed of dog.

Got news for you Mr D Shitter!....... married with two kids! Tomorrow is a new day and life will go on as normal, once I wake up! let's see what it brings. I don't hold a grudge and hopefully, neither will she.

Good manners cost nothing! Dogs and people. She may be a Patt, and she may have a mind of her own, but she is perfectly capable of working alongside me and doing as she is told. She is anything but stupid and she knows the set-up. She is usually fine and we have very few abberrations. Today was just such a whopper so I was shocked. Having said that, everything the rest of you have written makes total sense and I shall cut her some slack and put her on a lead. Nearest neighbours are miles away and there are no dogs about, so we are lucky. This is my first terrier in many years (

Today, I took my 9 month Patt terrier bitch out while I caught some horses to work with. When I called her, she was in another field (mine) and just looked at me and wandered off. I called and called her and she just deliberately ignored me. I found myself climbing the hill to get her, and then decided that I was playing her game and I had asked her to come to me, not me to her and she should bloody well do what I asked. It was not rocket science. So I thought, sod you and walked off up the road whereupon she thought she might follow me if I could lift her over the fence onto the roa

Why are you all getting off on bollocking this bloke who said his dog is hurt because of a nasty accident. It was an accident, not a deliberate event. The dog will never be the same, the owner is grieving and you are blaming him even though you weren't there, never saw the accident but all have very strong opinions about dogs on leads. Can you honestly say you uphold the law every minute and your dogs are under control, but you like a bit of hunting (duh?). Get off your high horses and look at the bigger picture. Abit of sympathy and understanding might not go amiss. Nothing can

Lads, that is not fair! (but I can see your point!, boom, boom - gettit?) He looks lovely and very attentive. God, some Americans would pay anything for their dogs to have ears like that and put their animals through operations to achieve that look. A real corker. Pignut

My lurcher cut all his ligaments and tendons down the bone on his back leg (below the knee). Rushed to the vet and £800 later and 4 hour micro-surgery, plus a splint and cast for 6 weeks changed every 3 days, he was pronounced as best as he could be. 5 years down the line, my lurcher is ok, not brilliant, but ok. His foot has dropped and he walks on the wrong part of his pad, which can get very sore and ulcers at the drop of a hat. We were told he might have to have his leg amputated but we were very lucky and he copes but is retired from work (though we have yet to tell him that!)

I think ASBO is a wonderful name. I wish I had called mine that. Her name is Bean or Beanie. Might as well call her Teapot S-club 7 for the amount of notice she takes!!

They look gorgeous and very nice. Good luck Pignut

No, I don't have expert knowledge, just my Patterdale bitch, who is a learning curve in herself! I have been asked by a Terrier Rescue website (well, I offered actually since they had every other terrier but Patterdale). So...... any thoughts? Pignut PS this is a light-hearted approach, not blood and guts!
-
I have been asked to write a breed profile for the Patterdale terrier. So, any pointers, suggestions, descriptions, help? Thanks Pignut
-
There seem to be alot of "Patterdale" terrier types in rescue centres around the UK. Has anyone rescued one? and, if so, what is he/she like? Thanks Pignut

A very sad day for you all. My heart goes out to you and your family. Pignut

What does the BBS stand for precisely then?
