Re: Precious only dog syndrome?
Time, time, time, all will be well, take all the good advice and go easy on yourself. You have done a wonderful thing, but that fact alone does'nt make it easy. usually the opposite! Take your older dog out on lovely walks, while puppy settles at home and then puppy alone, eventually short walks tog...

Re: Malignant Melanoma
Oscar Green bounced back from his tumour op' very quickly, we had trouble keeping him settled! He is starting chemo this month and we are very positive about a recovery or long remission or management of the cancer. It seems an age ago when we were going through what you are now. It will pass, every...

Re: Mud, mud, everywhere....
OH has plumbed in an outside shower to wash down our 2 Dudes, so they get tied to the fence, warm shower, shake, rub down, run round the garden, breakfast and drying off snooze in the sun room. It has given us back hours of washing, mopping and brushing off dried mud. They have never been so clean! ...

Re: Mast cell tumour
Thanks Bugsy, I don't really know yet, we are hopeful for a remission/cure/containment, but waiting for the insurance to decide if they will pay up. His previous owners transfered their insurance to us as advised, and our lovely vets are waiting and waiting for their fee so far, and to see how much ...

Re: Halti head collar / harness / easy walk?
....forgot to say, I always tell people to never leave the harness on when not walking, as they can be chewed through in a very short car journey...CAN'T they POPPY!

Re: Halti head collar / harness / easy walk?
Premier easywalk harness, the lead clips on the front. Poppy manages to pull out of her collar, but I feel very secure with this. She still tries to go ahead and there's a lot of stopping and starting, but she ends up walking nicely, then gets lots of praise, not that she cares! Even on just her col...

Oscar is home from the Vet's
Oscar as had the Mast cell tumour removed with a very wide margin. Also 2 little lumps on his face, one on each hind leg, and a 'v' biopsy of one in his ear, he has several little ones on the inside of his ears, but we will have to see what the biopsy results are from the bigger one. He's tucked up ...

Oscar's op' tomorrow, we are feeling much more confident by the day. We are also getting offers of help with the cost! The Trust are being very supportive. I did'nt realise they have a 'Friends of the Trust' page and a Labradoodle Health page on Facebook. Also, although not encouraged, Oscar previou...

Re: Mast cell tumour-early diagnosis!
Updates from Oscars previous Vet and owner show the lump to be fairly recent, so an early diagnosis should help a lot with the outcome, now the waiting again for op' and results.....

Re: Mast cell tumour
'Froglover' you are an inspiration, some people will never understand why true animal lovers have to do the best for our pets, despite the cost, we have a frugal xmas anyway, but this one will be all the more special because of our Doodles!
