Oh LFF so sorry for your loss. It's so hard saying goodbye. Big hugs

She's a beautiful little girl - is she getting less timid LMO?

He's gorgeous Kirislin. I'll put the name thinking cap on....

So sorry SM

Thanks for all the feedback, I'll have a look at those & pass them on. @Pucapo unfortunately it's not just as simple as having pet insurance. As snook has said, so many items aren't included, prices are jacked up with age, and the premiums are not something they can afford, but thanks for the suggestion

My parents would love another dog in their life (the last one died a few years ago now), but while they are physically & mentally able to look after a dog, they can't afford expensive vet bills and so won't get one. I was wondering if there are any rescue groups that have "legacy dogs" or similar. Something like where someone leaves money in their will for the continued care of their pet. I think that would suit them perfectly - the parentals get a dog, the dog gets a wonderful home, and my parents don't have to stress about potential vet bills (they can cope with food & stuff). Any ideas?

Hello Mia

Another apoquel user here. My vet is fabulous, and we tried everything, did skin tests, did food elimination diets & nothing conclusive as an 'allergy' came up, although we eliminated food as an issue so it has to be environmental. The apoquel really helps, but I also have to keep him shaved (he's a Chinese Crested) and regularly bathed - any slip on my behalf & his itchies get worse.

So sorry to hear this Perse. Beautiful Tallie-cat - rest in peace. You were well loved

Glad to hear she's feeling better. Fingers crossed the pathology results give you some more answers

So sorry for your loss @SarahsMum and hugs to you & your family. She was a lovely girl who will be sorely missed. She was lucky to have you all

So sorry for your loss Tikira

So sorry to hear this LMO. Hugs to you & the rest of the clan

So sorry to hear this you must miss her. An empty house is a hard thing. Sending hugs

So sorry to hear this TC. I felt & saw Fleming for a long time afterwards, and yep, I have the guilts for both of mine. Was it too early? Was it too late? Were they in pain & I didn't know? It's a terrible thing. Easier to say than do, but don't beat yourself up too much. Know that he was well loved, and you did the right thing by him. Sending hugs

They're both gorgeous Glad to hear she's settling in (and down) and your boy is happy.

Awwww she's lovely Welcome Evie, glad to hear you're settling in

So sorry to hear this Grumpette, your beautiful dogs have always been a joy to see and Zeph was just a gorgeous boy. You must be feeling his loss terribly. Sending hugs to you all

So sorry for your loss Sheena, what a fantastic time you have had together with lots of precious memories. RIP Bindi xx

Fabulous news What a gorgeous girl, look forward to getting updates on how she's settling in

My mum (as a wildlife rescuer) used to defrost baby mice/rats in old margarine containers in the fridge. We learnt very quickly to check first to see if the butter was labelled by mum before opening it
