I have had her since she was 9 weeks old from a rescue centre (I was her 4th home) she has been through a lot of change in the last 9 months, older dog passed away, 5 months as a lone dog. June new arrival 9 week old pup all well. It's only in the last week or 2 tat she has started to run off when she goes on a walk that she has been on before.Yesterday she was gone for over an hour in woodland that we have been walking in for 4 walks...She just goes like a rocket and that's was that for an hour and 20 minuets. Came back exhausted and could barely walk back to the car!

She is OK on a walk that we have not done before and trots off but comes back to "check" me The Pup (now 6 months old) is still to young to run with so I am completely at a loss as to what to do next. We are running out of different walks and keeping her on a lead the whole time really sucks.....HELP please

I am trying to fit an extractor fan in the wet room. Instructions say it must be wired through a double isolating switch....What is one of those exactly

My cob blew a hind check ligament 3 years ago. Every summer it's happened again.Last time it went in the stable!!!

My vet has suggested I hire a lazer therapy unit but before I go into the expense of it I was asking anyone who has tried it for their opinion on it.

Ease of use

Effective (or not)

any side effects?

I have a dremmel for carving wood and I can't get the end on the drill to fit the bits too. Any help please would be usful. I have a project and can't get on with it/

I have inherited a Bonsai. It needs to be root pruned and the top needs a fair bit of work. Is it to early/late to do this work now?

I have 3 cats. The 2 brothers (8) are ill. Weak, shaky, listless, off their food. The vet says it's a virus but I'm panicking. Do cats get viruses? I am trying to tempt them with chicken, fish and any thing they usually like but they don't seem interested after a few morsels. They will drink warm chicken broth and water but seem to have trouble eating. (no teeth problems)

My question is Has anyone had a cat with these symptoms.

If there is a vet out there that can help PLEASE HELP!

and no insulting answers from cat haters please. I am quite up set enough thank you

My K reg Defender has developed a wobble when travelling over 50 mph. Any suggestions as to what could be the cause. New springs fitted. last month

I have a 9 year old cob who is facing Check ligament surgery. On a hind leg. Has anyone out there had this done? My vet has only ever seen 12 cases and I feel a little hurried into this because they want to find out more about it! Like my horse is part of the learning curve they are on.

Any info' on this surgery would be very helpful.

Thank you.

I am conducting a little survey

This whole thing of bear foot trimming vs Farrier question keeps coming up so I though I would ask all you horse folk out there this question

Would you use a farrier over a trimmer (or vic-verca). & Why please?.

Also costs in your area.

This question is open to all horse owners & loaners. trainers, professionals. Everyone with an opinion on its one please.

Thanks

The mare in question is 9 & has, over the last 2 weeks become very aggressive when asked to round up. She had her teeth,back,tack checked & all ok.

She has always been hard to get going but once warmed up she used to be happy to exercises. She will hack out/lunge without any arguments but as soon as I put my legs on she comes back at me with avengence.

and WILL NOT move forward. She can be lunged with a person on-board with out any trouble at all. Anyone help?

It is frightening me the number of obvious beginners asking questions on how to.....break a youngster...begin lunging and generally starting young stock.

What are we to do?

I have looked into the welfare of horses/ponies but can't find anything.

Anyone know of anything?

I realise we all have to start somewhere.

Is there a law somewhere that states we should have a minimum knowledge requirment of equine care before we can perchase one?

My little staffy cross pup (11 months old) has a delicate tum! I understand it's a trait of this breed. I am asking this.What do you feed you Staffy (cross) meat & mixer or dried food. Why and which one??

What do you think about them?

Calling owners of this bloodline. I have a mare who is out of Loganlea Erco (Grand sire Lars Ircoe. GG sire Irco Mena Marco Polo & Imerius line). I was wondering how other people found the temperament in this breed line.?

On her mum's side she is a spotted so really rather "hot" in all respects.

How are you getting on with yours?

Any coments based on experiance regarding this blood line would be very helpful.

Not a question but another allert!

11 coloured horses taken from a feild in DURLEY (Mannor Road) this weekend. I know this is a fact as I go past them every day and they were gone on Sunday. Please allert all (again)

Classic devorced parents, she feels like she isn't wanted any where. I try and involve her with what I do and try to get involed with what she is into (music, art etc) but she is on line to others who talk of cutting and suicide.

Any advice would be greatly appreceated
