Well if she had seemed under the weather in herself I would have done the same but she is eating the rice and flaked chicken I made so that allieviated my concerns slightly but I agree that its time to get her to the vet's just wanted to know whether other people had experienced this in their...

Hey guys, My 8 month old Border Terrier Pippa has never been particularly food orientated but it has been worse than usual the last week or two. She has been eating lots of leaves, twigs and other bits and pieces on her walks and while she is in the garden and she has also been vomiting which...

I'm an Office Manager which is pretty hilarious when you consider that I find it difficult to manage my way out of bed most days!! Pippa doesnt come to work with me at the moment but she will do soon, YAY!

Here in the UK they are fizzy drinks, lol :oD

Pro, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. If you do not feel able to talk through your feelings with your family perhaps you can find someone else who you would feel more able to talk to? Sometimes someone you don't know very well can be the easiest. Do they have the Samaritans...

Aww what a handsome chap! He's lovely Matt.

Yes you are being entirely sensible saying that a puppy who was forced to live in that way would indeed grow up to be a very difficult....and UNHAPPY dog! After wanting a dog for 20 odd years I know how your boyfriend must feel but it is important that you explain to him that it would be...

Hey all, When Pippa is picked up she usually gives a little growl, anyone know why this is? She never does it when I pick her up to put her into bed with me and she has never done it to a couple of my friends, I am starting to worry that its me! Could it be that she thinks I am playing as she...

Well she is ok, poo is no longer black and is back to a relatively 'normal' colour, thank goodness! I gave her a worming tablet today which she has since puked up so in future I think I shall allow the vet to do it. She is her usual bouncy self so all seems to be ok. Thanks for your...

Tsk, blimmin Purina, can't get away from the buggers...excuse my french! :mad: ;)

Oh Mordy, I am so sorry to hear about your little dachy! I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way. :)

Ahhhh!! I am sooo confused! Most people on here seem to agree that it is best all round to have her neutered asap, and my instinct says thats the right thing to do but when I mentioned the quandry on a forum specific to the BT breed I was given completely different advice, such as: "Also you...

Sorry, didnt mean to suggest anyone was arguing, is just that there always seems to be some healthy debate when food is the subject!

Thought you might be interested in reading the bit about vaccinations for guide dogs for the blind here: http://www.guidedogs.org.uk/index.php?id=1606 "The puppies are vaccinated and ready to meet their puppy walkers at six to eight weeks old" Although they are not completely finished...

Hullo all, I have always thought that I would neuter Pippa as soon as it was safe to do so, the thought of puppies and seasons sends fear through the very heart of me..lol j/k...well half j/k anyway!! :( However I have recently been told that it is often thought that it is better to let...

Ooops I seem to have done it again, this is the second thread I have started that has ended in disagreement, and they have both been related to food! It is obviously a contested subject. To be honest I do not mind whether the food is wet or dry....what bothers me is what the food is made of...

Hello all, Well the vet told me that she only needs two innoculations, one at 8 weeks, which she had yesterday and one at 10 weeks. I appreciate everyone's concern but I have nothing but the utmost confidence in my vet who I have known for years through her treating my cat. I assume that...

My best friend had this problem with her Basset Hound, he is still very energetic on the lead but considerably less 'pull-y'. You need to ensure that when you are walking your JRT the collar is right behind his ears, so the lead is in a straight line almost vertical from the collar to your hand...

Hmm I am reluctant to change her food again when she enjoys meal times like she does with this new food! She is her usual happy, energetic self, and 2 poops a day doesnt seem too restrictive does it? It was just the colour that concerned me, I mean when I say black it was like tar! Take care all

But does this explain the colour and also it wasnt particularly hard, just very very black!
