UK Labradoodle Association

I am still waiting for a scan or x ray to confirm no blockages , that's tomorrow and today we are going for check up on her progress with meds and new diet. That's all I know so far , will update as I know. She's such a good girl it's wicked these illnesses hit our fur babies.

Ive not heard of Luna before , is it widely available?

Hi Everyone, At last I may have a diagnosis via blood tests for my 5yr old girl. It seems she may well have Pancreatitis and needs low fat foods along with medication. Apart from low fat biscuit I would like to give some other foods to encourage her to eat. Any suggestions would be welcome. Sue & Lo...

Thankyou for your replies and advice given. Lotti is now 5yrs old and this habitual refusal of food is quite upsetting. We have tried various foods , raw, cooked chicken etc. she likes egg but wont touch rice, tried stock from fresh cooking but to no avail. Yesterday gave her a small saucer of raw b...

Hello everyone I need some feeding advice for my female Dood who is being really difficult about food. I have two dogs so leaving dry food down is not an option. I give her two small meals a day comprising of her dog food and maybe a little meat mixed in to appetise. Some days she will just turn her...

Hi Olly I have been using a product which has Cedar oil and silicone because one of my Doodles has seizures and it appears the Topical drops with Fip & Pretherin agitate the condition. It does seem to work albeit it is pungent but the smell does wear off after a couple of days- it's called Dr Bens P...

I have valued all the replies to my post about the content in Topical Flea Treatments ie: Pyrethrum( or Pyrethrin) and also as mentioned Fipronil . I was convinced the adverse affects my Dood suffered was based on this and i'm glad I didn't follow MY Vet's prognosis and the fact they wanted to fill ...

Hi Anny I deliberated over and read loads on the Internet about the contents of the Topical drops and some of the well known products contain Pyrethrum which I didn't realise is actually a poison mainly to insects but can in fact cause seizure like symptons in some pets. The more I read I thought it...

Hello All Doodlers A while back I wrote about my lovely Dood having seizures and after much debate with the Vet and a lot of Internet search I came to the conclusion that Topical Flea products were the root cause of his fits. The Vet was somewhat sceptical probably for financial reasons but I persis...

Thankyou for the link Bid and ive printed this one too , the more information gathered is to the good. The Vet is treating the infection separately and then the Stones with the view that Diet is probably integral to controlling the formation and weve had scans and the relevant tests so far. I like t...

Hi Linny

Many thanks for the link its really helpful and ive printed it off , various combinations to try out, if the diets can break down the formation of stones this will avoid the need for surgery which is my ultimate fear , can only but try

Hello all My Doodle has been diagnosed with Urinary stones and although there are lots of foods available to reduce their formation my dog isn't too keen on these formulated foods and I have to coerce her and very often get the nose in the air and the walk past the bowl - you know how it goes ! :rol...

This was first time for Lotti and also shes never been left anywhere and I was also waiting 4 hours and actually pacing the floor. Apart from the fact they've cut her head too short, it was a good clip and ears all clean, but its as though her experience has changed her , not so cuddly now . I'm hop...

Hello to everyone My Doodle went to the Groomer this week for the first time , I usually clip her at home but I'm finding it painful in the hands bit of Arthritis I reckon . Anyway I went collect her and she looked a completely different dog! facially at least and since then she has acted out of cha...

Thankyou all for your help il get ordering some of the mentioned and maybe I should look at her diet too. Although my dog has a mix of biscuit and wet plus fresh meat I may take one out and swap around over a few weeks and see, this ear prob is just such a nasty thing for our lovely dogs. Sue & Lotti
