OFA hips

Getting ready to get Ellis OFA on her hips. Can anyone tell me what their Doctor charged to do this? I know the OFA charge is separate, I am curious about the vet bill I have been quoted. Thanks to anyone that can help me.

What 'Naughty and Nice' things have you learnt from Setters ?

Having lost our precious Lynwood Poetry in Motion 3 weeks ago I got to thinking what she had taught me in her nearly 15 years of life. Could members add to this list ? If you can, I would love to add your thoughts to a Setter Poem my daughter is writing for me. So far, my thoughts are these: Bonnie taught me that cuddles are precious, day or night, cuddle your loved ones; that Gym membership is not necessary with a Setter; that you should resist growing up, forever, it is more fun that way ;… Continue

BLOAT can be a killer

If you experience a combination of the following:

•

Your dog retches from the throat but nothing is produced, other than a small

amount of frothy mucus

•

Your dog tries to defaecate unsuccessfully

Retained testicle

Hi All

I have a question to seek advice on, Perry is now 9 months old and only one of his testicles have dropped, I have contacted the breeder for advice and she has said it may still drop and wait until 12 months, for the growth plates to fully form ( the vet has said it will not, and can locate the other one in his stomach region and has said it is a genetic fault and in the bloodline and he needs to be fully desexed) and if not get him desexed, I am so unsure of what to do and…

Thanks

HOD, heart thief, and the best thing that happened to me...

He was diagnosed with hypertrophic Osteodystrophy at 4 months and I thought I was going to lose him. He recovered very well and was doing brilliantly but he's relapsed a few days ago. Hopefully he will be okay. I love him so much. He's my little shadow. He goes everywhere with me. I adore… Continue
