Thanks :) Reading up on symptoms this is looking pretty likely. Hopefully she'll cope until i can get a vet, poor pup. Any advice for easing her pain? Thanks for your help :)

Thanks for reply, i thought this too however i stood her straight and went down her back gently pressing with my thumbs either side of her back (what ive always been told to check for horses back pain) and she was slightly tender at the top of her tail but didn't squeak or anything so i'm not...

Yeah she's been urinating and defecating as normal and still has her appetite

8, Working springer spaniel, relatively small, intact and inside.

I know this isn't poultry related in the slightest but my dog came to me squealing with her tail between her legs and crouched low to the ground I had no idea what was wrong but after a few minutes she seemed fine again. I was then on my way to work and she started freaking out in the backseat...

JeanR Thank you very much for your reply very interesting! I do run a small lavender flock but I picked up this hen pictured below from the same breeder I got my lavender stock from, I have been to his yard and he only breeds Dutch (it is Dutch bantam heaven! He has loads of pens with various...

Hi there, I posted a while ago trying to find out which colour my first homebred chick would turn with a buff/speckled mother and lavender father. Well the chick has grown into a rather pretty (and noisy) cockerel, was wondering if he would be legible to show in an AOC Dutch bantam class? He...

**UPDATE** A wee while ago i asked if any body knew what colour chicks my dutch would produce (photo of mum and dad below) Well my chick hatched yesterday and i'm not sure what colour it is, anyone know? Not the best of photos sorry Mum and Dad The product...

Didn't think it would be haha, was worth a shot! I don't know the background for my parent birds especially the buff hen, but i'm pretty sure my lavenders are pure lavenders for a few generations at least. It may just come out lavender but hey ho we shall see! She's still sitting tight so...

Anybody help me (again) here? One of my Dutch girlies has gone broody and i tested one egg and it was fertile so fingers crossed! Anyway, my best little laying hen is what my breeder called a speckled rose (a dilute buff with white flecks) and my cockerel is lavender. What do you reckon the...

Thanks everyone for all the help, lots of great tips . I've been working with her the past couple of weeks and we have began lunging, its slow, but progress haha and i got my friend to first walk us on a leadrope around the field and eventually walk around the field beside us as we walked...

Thanks for the help guys . She was a rescue case and i think she might have been roughly backed, she had already had a foal as a 3 year old, poor girly, but she's quiet as a mouse to handle on the ground and in the saddle to an extent, my 4 year old cousin can lead her about and my 13 year old...

*update on introducing my new little roo and pullet into a mean flock of hens* I've had my new dutch roo and pullet for around 2 months now and the first wee while was terrible they both got picked on pretty bad when i let them out as they couldn't be separated forever, however due to lack of...

2 of my girls are coming up to 2 and a half years old and i will only have had a handful of eggs out of them. Another used to lay eggs which never had a shell? Never became egg bound or had any trouble just made a right mess! . She's come right now, all the other hens lay fine, i have no idea...

Hi there, Not sure how many of us on here deal with horses but it's worth a shot! I am in the middle or re-educating a young rescue horse who i think has been backed before as she is such a poppet on ground and when ridden, however i have yet to ride her in an open space. I have had a friend...
