Pets & Animals

Well now…

Today I am full of cold,I have had one for the last six weeks but now seem to have picked up another:( Have been sent home early and have had to cancel all my appointments

There is a silver cloud though..

My partner and I have a rare moment to enjoy being together, reading the Sunday papers, listening to a love cd, enjoying each others company…a rarity as I am normallly helping dogs and people and my partner helping folks with problems.

Dog chat is just there in the backround but thought I would share;)

Cheers folks and don’t forget to relish special moments;)

Only 8 weeks since the vet last emptied Coco’s anal glands they were full again and she was obviously uncomfortable (fortunately I was only charged £5.31 for the second visit).

Coco is fed Burns, the occasional tin of sardines or pilchards in tomato sauce and occasional meat and veg scraps. She also has bits of fruit from time to time. She is a trim 21kg and otherwise fit and healthy.

The vet suggested bulking her food up with a handful of bran every day (any bran eg. All Bran, branflakes etc). She doesn’t normally have wheat though and Burns suggest that overfeeding and bulking actually make anal gland problems worse.

Confused!

OH really isn’t keen on bones due to the raw meat hygiene issues but I am wondering if the occasional chicken wing might help her.

Any suggestions or opinions? I really don’t want her to be uncomfortable every 6-8 weeks if it something that I can avoid.
