Oh poor Belle - I have been wondering how you are. So sorry to hear of your problems and I hope that a vet finds out what is troubling you very soon. Our 6 greys have glucosamine daily - I dont know if it will ease your pain Belle but it can only help although you do need to still be seen by a vet. You have my cuddle today. Get well soon pretty girl.

Oh Belle, you poor little mite, I was only wondering yesterday how you were getting on ... this sounds longwinded but please bear with me as we've found that long term use of metacam can cause other problems. We recently adopted Brae who suffered a broken hock a couple of years ago. It wasn't set properly and is clear to see, so thinking we were doing the 'right thing', we asked our vet if Brae was suffering pain in this area. There was no way of knowing, so we decided to put her on metacam a few days after she came home (Jan 2015). All was well until about a month ago, when without warning she started vomiting daily, although her diet/medicine hadn't changed. She was seen by the vet, given an anti sickness jab & antacid tablets for 2 weeks and seemed fine again. Then, just 2 days after I'd started to give her metacam once more, she was sick 3 times in 48 hours, so back to the vet where a full blood test was done, another anti sickness jab given along with another two week course of ant acid pills. Thankfully, the vet is sure the sickness is nothing serious but is being caused by long term use of metacam which is upsetting her stomach, so we've been advised to stop this immediately. Brae is now taking glucosamine sulphate tablets to 'oil the joint' and ease any discomfort that she may have. It may be that Belle doesn't have any side effects from metacam, but I wouldn't want another beauty to go through what our little girl has, as it's been horrible for her and upsetting for us. I hope that Belle's discomfort soon eases. Keep us posted, Tash

Buddy enjoyed his day out on yesterdays Stratford Walk. Hetravels well in the car and mixed perfectly with all 40 other dogs on the walk and afterwards when drinks and doggie treats were being handed out. He is quite a quiet lad who does not push himself forward to create attention but most certainly has lots of love and affection to give to any family prepared to give him the forever home he deserves.

Belle

Hi Withnail1969. At 4 years old, l would be surprised lf she has arthritis.Maybe the plates and screws are causing her some pain. l can only advise, but if she was my dog, l would be inclined to seek a second opinion, and maybe some more X - rays.She can't live on pain killers for the rest of her life, l am not a fan of Fivelands l'm afraid, and would never use them. Did she not have the op done at Willows, or am i mistaken. lf you live on that side of Birmingham, then try Manor Vets at Edgbaston, and ask to see David Beechey ,he is superb and he will work very closely with you. He has helped many of our dogs, when other vets couldn't. Their phone No is 0121 429 2829. Cuddles to Belle.X.

Poor Belle, hope the Metacam kicks in soon and she's more comfortable. Have you thought about canine massage? Paul Warman (who is Daddy to Lola and Lena, both Daybreaks Greys and also a Daybreaks volunteer), comes to give our 9 year old a massage session every so often to keep him supple after a neck injury. Paul has a website wmk9massage.co.uk with all his details on. Paul does require permission from your vet before treating, which is a legal requirement and very reassuring that things are being done properly. We're registered at Fivelands too and they were very happy to oblige with the consent form in our boy's case. We've found Paul's techniques to be a great help and Gent loves his massages, almost falling asleep now when he has them! Mand x
