  1. To much fat in a dogs diet can cause pancreitus, so yes if you feed to much pig meat with the amount of fat there is on trotters a dog could come down with it, trotters should only really be given as a occasional treat.
  2. Ive just been through the same with one of my dogs, although she was in resp distress and pain with it also ended up costing near enough 700, its gastro enteritis - she was already on support therapy when she started crapping blood, like your first picture its all blood out of the gut, took 5 days for her to start eating again, right as rain now though.
  3. you can but the stuff they use is surgical super glue I used to carry superglue in my med pack when in the army, might have to look up this surgical glue. I used plain old stuff on a 4 inch long 1/2inch deep on my hand and its barely scared I can't find the surgical glue anywhere online. Google Tissue Adhesive - its not cheap though. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=surgical+glue&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=Tissue+Adhesive&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ju1&tbo=u&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sour
  4. Dont know if its same one. Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 July, 2013 http://www.oakleighfairs.co.uk/shuggame/
  5. One of Lurcher Links dog's has gone missing, Springer was out with his foster carer round Brackmills woods, Northampton when he went missing, Springer is tagged and microchipped, there's not been a single sighting since he went missing on the 1st.

  6. even out of hours it wouldn't have cost that much. Few years ago i had to rush my bitch in to the out of hours, she came down with pyo emergency spay left her with pancreitus, she spent the weekend in the emergency vets on a drip, that came to just over 700. last year my deerhound had to go in for stitches, cut was just over an inch that cost me just over 200.
  7. I would do same as skycat but with some added extras, i would sit on the floor at the side of the bowl and drop bits of food in to it, once the pup is ok with that i would touch the bowl whilst its eating bits of dropped food out of it, then move on to having my hand in the bowl, all my dogs are used to me stroking them and being around them whilst they are eating. Ive only ever had one dog growl at me whilst eating and that was an adult bitch that was previously ok, with her she was pushing her luck and trying it on, all's i did was shout get out and made her leave it and get out of t
  8. Don't know Taz think it all depends on the dog, i have a rescue bull x whippet and she can move when she wants to, although she cant do tight turns for bushing and ferreting shes a great little dog, marks well on both fur and feather, she can be head strong but does listen she never gives up, if she had 4 legs she would do a lot better, but saying that she does keep up with my beddie x and they both work well together as a team.
  9. Fred is a lurcher link dog. REALLY REALLY URGENT - Fred has escaped through an open car window in Bracknell, Berks - an area he doesn't know and he's terrified of traffic, strangers and will be absolutely petrified when fireworks go off tonight - please if you're in the area or know someone who is, can you pass the word round and ask them to take a spare slip lead and some tasty treats when they're walking their dogs as he may come up to another dog for comfort. Also check in any outbuildings etc in case he's hiding. http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog_blog.php?dogId=46841
  10. I have nothing to do with these dogs both are currently with the dog warden.
  11. A dark liver saluki type and a fawn greyhoundy type both found together near langley road Contact salford dog warden, both dogs will be heading to leigh cats and dogs home if not claimed 0161 909 6500 https://www.facebook...d/photos_stream
  12. Have you tried a long line - throwing the bird out a few inchs - retrieve and reel the dog in before it gets a chance to chomp on the bird, swap bird for a piece of cooked liver or heart or what ever food gets the dog going and praise to high heaven. You could do it this way bit by bit, building it up slowly, so the dog understands that it gets something much better if it brings the bird back will also give you more control over the dog, so it cant get a chance to eat the bird.
  13. Like to know where you get your insurance from then and what cover it is, as for me to insure 3 of my dogs it would cost me around 60/70 quid a month.
  14. Problem with insurance is vets can sometimes take the p**s, when they know you have insurance they can get a little greedy sometimes.
  15. Next time ask for sedation - say you don't want anesthetic, it works out a bit cheaper, and most dogs come out of sedation quicker than anesthetic - meaning they don't have to keep the dog in for a few hours. My old bitch had bad nose bleeds, it cost me less than that for her to have x-rays, flush and tests done on what they flushed out, exam etc went in at 9 and was back home for about 11.
  16. Personally if you've never kept them or worked them - i would see if you can go out with someone and their ferrets, handle them, see how they work and have a chat about how to keep them, that way you will know then if keeping ferrets is for you.
  17. Mine have a small layer of shavings on the floor, that helps to wick any mosture away, then they have one of the cat piramid beds with a square padded bed inside and inside that theres a fleece blanket, tbh though i often find my hob asleep on top of the lot of it, but its there if they do feel cold.
  18. No wonder it wont uninstall its because you have downloaded a tool bar, when you downloaded media player they sometimes have attachments to them which you have to unclick - otherwise that gets downloaded on to your computer. http://dreamingcub.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/sweetpack-toolbarsweetim1clickdownloade.html
  19. As said go to control panel>add/remove programs and uninstall it from there. Then download spybot and run it alongside your antivirus. http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
  20. pups coats can change as they get older, normaly around 8-12 weeks you can tell if there going to be smooth or broken coated.
  21. Shit. I thought it would be a lot less hot than this.The place I regularly walk is actually only a small area. I have bumped into the owner now and again and know he doesn't mind people walking it, day or night. But I will get it confirmed with him in case of a situation like the above ^ It's driving me crazy not being able to get out with the dog legally. I was out of the UK for 8 years and permission in Spain and Ireland is never a problem. If there are any friendly and generous people out there ( ) with some permission that fancy helping out a lone hunter shoot me a pm. I drive
  22. Leather collar on ? tan colour with white chest ? If so think this dog has been found and is currently in the care of a vets, have passed on your phone number to the people.
  23. Pmsl - i couldnt think then what was different about the picture, Thats great
