    Cremation Costs

    I do some freelance writing and one of the things I have been asked to write about is Pet Cremation. I hope this doesn't overstep the bounds of the forum somehow but this would seem to be the ideal place to ask this question - have you used a pet cremation service and what sort of cost...

    Two Sides of Tito

    Meet Tito - not looking his best. I used that pic to illustrate a dogs and fireworks article but actually he is not scared at all. He's frustrated. I was cleaning the floor up the corridor and when I stopped for a minute the mop handle dropped against one wall. I crossed it with the brush so...

    Jerry died today

    My lovely cat Jerry died early this morning. I haven't been around Chaz for a while but I am in pieces and I know at least here I will be understood. I can't stop crying and work is impossible so instead I wrote the story of what happened to Jerry. I owe a few of you here an apology. Those...

    Out of danger

    Well, nearly. My step.dad had a bit of a crisis on Saturday. Two days in ICU and now in the cardiac services. They've sent a camera up through his groin to his heart and exploded guff out of his arteries although one remains blocked. Another couple of days and they'll fit a pace maker. Bless...

    chemical castration

    Hmmm ... wasn't sure whether this should have gone into the Health threads or here for a general discussion. Perhaps a kindly mod could be bribed to move it to Health if they think it fits better there? Anybody know anything about delmadinone or neutrosal (sp) or any other cc treatments...

    Rimadyl and Cosequin

    So, Skye has HD. I've been given Rimadyl and Cosequin for her. A 10 day course of Rimadyl and Cosequin 3 tabs a day, 40 days, then 3 tabs 3 x a week. I understand that Rimadyl is not good for extended use but I'll give her it for this 10 day period and by then hopefully will have found an...

    Mental chis and a day in the park

    What is that about? Little white, overwight chi pissing over everything. Little B/W, saucy, cute, but snappy little piranha. Same owner. Why is it funny when these horrendous little snappers growl and snark at my kids in a public park? There was broken glass, broken window, we didn't do it (...

    Rabies

    In a province of China the locals have until March 15th to hand in all their pet dogs for destruction as a preventative measure against rabies. That's way over the top, surely. :mad: So, I'm just wondering... How real is the threat of rabies where you live? Has anyone here ever...

    Well, this is fun!

    So, I won't repeat the various lurgies and maladies my family has suffered so far this year but guess what. My pharingitis cleared up. Brilliant, eh? Felt great not to be aware of swallowing again. Except after a few days it came back with a vengeance. Another trip to the doc who by this time...

    Opinions please... (PB)

    Okay, long story ... For some reason this dog reminded me of Buddy (Buddy's parents). He's black and white PB or PB mix. He was in the park in front of our house the first time we saw him. he played with Skye great, no owner in sight. When SO approached him he shyed off, same with me so good...

    That's My Boy!

    Heh heh, I am a hopeless house keeper. I hate everything to do with it. But, time to time you look around, knee deep in toys, animals and lazy humans and you want to clean up. Usually when you are premenstrual but there you go. I was throwing everything into a corner to be distributed to...

    Eight Below

    Has anyone seen it? Sledder in artartica has to leave his dogs, can't get back to them and they free themselves and survive for six months? It's a Disney film so obviously there is a Bambi thing going on, but I'd really like to know a couple of things, The last two dogs are specified as...

    I don't believe it!

    I read an astrology report for my star sign that said this was my year. What a load of b****cks! The last three weeks have been unbelievable and now just to pop a little cherry on top - NITS! :yikes: Aaaargh! I noticed my daughter scratching but thought that was related to the allergy she...

    Child Rash - any advice welcome

    On Friday my daughter had a swift and violent attack of gastroenteitis. She went down so fast, lost colour and strength before my eyes. It was very frightening. We got her to the main local clinic where she was on a drip for two hours. To stop the vomiting they gave her Primperan but nothing...

    Growl baby

    A while ago Skye growled at my son. It is the only time she's ever done that and I reprimanded my son for jumping on her. My friend was horrified and I tried to explain to her that I would prefer to hear a growl than no sound at all followed by a snap. I've written an article based on this...
