I hope his previous owners have been told about the glass in his foot - so they don't continue to blame him, or the breed. I can't say how many times Charlie Mouse has had a go at us - and all to do with neck and back pain (oh and from being woken up or wanting the settee to himself!) but we NEVER EVER considered returning him. Well, apart from when he wouldn't keep his Easter Bunny ears on to go out in ........!

Thank you for all your suggestions! It's definitely a kibble we want though (I am 'practically' a vege and never handle meat, so I have to say raw has always been a bit urrgh and fiddly for me!) We have ordered a trial of Tail - which I have to say we were very impressed that they tailor it to your dogs needs - ie joint problems etc. So we'll see how it goes. Thank you all once again for your ideas - I love this forum, everyone is always there for help and advice xx

I thought it had changed Melysa It smells much stronger and M and M ‘s stools have changed to a much lighter colour It hasn’t as yet made any difference to their tummy’s I just don’t like the new smell Hope all goes well with CM We used to feed James Wellbeloved and if things get worse will go back to it

We were all so relieved when the news came through to the kennels this morning that the vet had discovered the cause of poor Bennys discomfort and that it was not something more serious. Hope he will soon start to feel better and be back to his usual, lovely bouncy self. Sending him a cuddle tonight. xx

Breeze had a couple of lumps removed yesterday- one from her gum and one from under her ribs - vet didn't want to stitch there so glued it together, but it hasn't stuck so she has her Shirt on and is busy milking it. Fingers crossed results come back friendly next week. Xx

Great to hear the good news about Benny, poor little lamb, no wonder he was in so much pain. A week or so and he will be as good as new and enjoying his walks again, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sofa for him too, if any dog deserves it Benny does xxxxxx

Hi Melysa. We feed raw too. Prepared complete meals you just weigh out and serve the amount. There’s lots of different brands to choose from. We currently use Benyfit Natural. Chester’s Corner pet shop in Kings Norton stock a few brands including Natural Instinct if you fancy giving it a whirl. The varieties with tripe in are smellier than say just chicken but it’s not bad at all and what comes out of the other end generally much less smelly! Love from Linda, Paul & girls xxxx

I am so very happy to hear the good news. Horrible that something quite simple has caused this boy so much pain, no wonder he wasn't happy. Right Benny, best foot forward now (no pun intended!), and get yourself that well deserved sofa. There is a special someone somewhere out there for you. xxxxx

I am over the moon at the news from Fivelands vets. He was admitted this morning and they have operated on Benny and he was found to have a large piece of glass in his pad. This explains why he was so lame and uncomfortable. Thank you everyone who has donated towards his care - luckily he did not need x-rays suggested by the other vets! xxx

It might be worth you checking out raw food - we went through all sorts of food with Casey before he finally started eating raw. It’s not the nicest stuff to handle and can smell like a farmyard but he finishes every meal now and is very healthy. You can buy frozen raw food from Pets at Home from Nature:Menu but we get regular supplies from TPMS in Redditch. We will be at the event on Sunday if you would like to know more.

Barney is such a breath of fresh air in our house he has come along way in a week and the greeting I get when I come home from work is amazing. With a little bit of patience and a lot of love given out the end result is incredible. Take my advice let a greyhound adopt you.
