Just spotted in the Telegraph vet’s Q & A this week – he posed the questions, but before being given a chance to answer them himself, another wag made some suggestions…
1. Why has my dog been coughing since Christmas?
Dog should under no circumstances be allowed to smoke. Even just the odd one at Christmas.
2. My cat has gum disease and the vet said all his teeth should be removed. Would you recommend this?
Again Cats should not be given Sweets, even at Christmas. IF you have all of his teeth out, this will stop him eating sweets. Unless of course he’s partial to the odd gum drop.
3. I have a Siberian husky who keeps running out after we open the door and also whines like a puppy. How do I train him not to do this?
Huskies like the snow. this is probably why it has started making a break for it.
4. Can my King Charles live with a severe heart murmur?
Does it have a severe heart murmur and is it still alive? IF the answer to both is yes then that has answered your question.
5. Is it normal that my 4-year-old Jack Russell is always shaking and shivering?
It has been very cold recently. Ever thought of buying is a coat ? You should try walking through 4 inches of snow when your legs are 6 inches long.
