Health

Our health category tells you about everything from our day to day niggles to the times we are actually ill. Everything from Alfie’s dementia to Ari’s legs.

There are times we can tell you in detail about things such as Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. (Dog Dementia). We also talk about more regular problems such as elbow dysplasia and cruciate ligament tears. There are also health issues such as Shadow’s pancreatitis. Over many years of writing, we’ve tried a number of health problems. Thankfully, most of the time we are well and ready for action. But, just like our humans, we have our bad days as well as our good days.
