Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Have you ever heard of a dog having IBS? My boy suffers at least once a week whereby the noises from his gut are frightening. He refuses to eat anything at this point. That lasts for a couple of hours then 3-4 hours after that he recovers and eats like a horse again. Tried Happy Tummy as recommended by the vet but no real improvement. Other than that he is healthy. Don’t know if IBS is a thing in dogs but don’t see why it shouldn’t be. The subsequent diarrhoea isn’t good for one walking session

Never heard of it in dogs but just googled it and it certainly is a thing. Poor pup!!! You've probably thought of it already, but when my dogs get diarrhoea, I assume it's because they love drinking the dirtiest water they can fine to wash down the finest badger/fox poo they can eat. They can be disgusting at times. One of our dogs has looser poos if they've had bread or other human food other than rice. The regularity is the concerning thing here. So hard to clean up after too! ?

I'm convinced that my 10 month old Rosie has some sort of physchological problem that results in her having the trots.

She is wonderfully happy to run around the garden but as soon as we put a lead on her and take her across the road to the park she just poos herself as soon as she sets foot in the place.

Cheese also has that effect upon her.

The lead is a trigger Jazz. Not in a bad way. Lead means a poo in her world. Our black lab, Guiness, was the exact same. The second he got through the kissing gate into the cow field, dump. Never along the path, never in the garden, once though that gate though....

I'm not so sure.

If I put the lead on her to take her over to granny's annexe she is fine .

I think it's the traffic and crossing the road that sets her off

Dogs do get stressed easily sometimes. I'm sure that could be a factor.

Sorry can't help myself. If a vet hasn't prescribed it, I'd always check with them on the dose and never use the liquid or chewable/dissolving type tablets for dogs.

Fair comment. I did a lot of googling (I know, I know) and the vast majority of stuff says it's safe for dogs (we have half a tablet to a full grown retriever). If it didn't cost a fortune for the vet visit, I would have checked. Fees are shocking but, agree, that is the correct route. Feel like a bad parent now ?
 

Hello everybody. That was a bit of a shock about Sassy. She will be missed.

Not much to report today. Very pleased that we've re-signed Gana Gueye. If he's near to what he used to be then all is good. Loved his message too about coming home. Sky seem to be bigging up this James Garner, saying how good he is. Could be a good buy too. I actually think we've bought quite sensibly in this transfer window. My fave transfer window was when we signed Lukaku and there were rumours that Kevin MIrallas wouldn't let him out of the hotel room until he agreed to sign!

A tiny wild rabbit has moved into our garden. I think it is enjoying the clover and dandelions that pass for a lawn. Here's a very rubbish pic of it. I had to zoom in loads to get it. I'm off tomorrow, because Wednesday was the end of the month and I had work I could do that would contribute to the monthly figures , I swapped my non working day to tomorrow. I'll get my reward in heaven I'm sure! lol

I'm veering from we can win on Saturday to I hope we don't lose 9-0. There's no in between.

No need. It's reflex for me - hazard of the profession. Many over the counter medications can be quite dangerous to pets and humans.

yes delighted Gana is back.

Garner looks a bit Keiron Dowell to me.

Still think we need another striker.
