I agree with you. Im thinking out loud too! I feel sad sometimes when reading some posts though because a lot of people have circumstances that don't permit them access to a vet, may it be money, vets abilities or distance even and people can sometimes be very harsh to those people who don't. I...

I will be posting pics as soon as they are born WTHOG (that's "with the help of God")

Just a quick update, Chilly's sore is on the mend, completely dried up and healing thank God!

On Chilly's behalf, thank you for your well wishes! Actually he did say that the net is brilliant because everyday new things are approved tried and tested that we're not in they're time at vet school so he said they often call on colleagues at other practice and research the net too to be up to...

Ok after posting I got a call to take her straight, the vet said she doesn't have any other sign of a skin condition and her coat/skin is in good condition. He said he thinks it's a scratch rather than a nip that has irritated her and she may have picked at it even more, he said because its not...

Forgot to say, there are no mites that I can see, have checked her fur through, no dandruffy looking anything either and the hair hasn't fallen out because I can see the roots still as though it was shaved

Hi all, after a nice day of reading reading messages and getting breed suggestion and device for my pregnant Chilly I am horrified to find a sore on her shoulder on the side, it's obvious there are the roots left from some hair as its a small round hairless weeping sore so I'm guessing she has...
