[QUOTE=Dundee;704877]I repeat - an in season bitch should not be left unattended in the garden.



Well, it is - what did you expect - congratulations



If I had a pound for every time I heard that!

However, if you are religious, then perhaps you should think of your poor dog - if it was the huge OES then your little collie cross could be at considerable risk during whelping.

,I would suggest your vet.[/QUOTE

Thanks for the congratulations that is exactly what I needed. I may be a 35 yr old woman, but thank you, you have single handedly reduced me to tears, I feel **** about myself and feel this is the one place I thought I had found some friends, thank you so much for sending back into my dark lonely friendless pit. I so love people like you. I will continue posting on the cat forum but don't need to be pushed any further. I am sure noone will be bothered what about the outcome of Sox's visit to the vet so won't bother posting. I loved being part of this little group so thank you for taking that away from me dundee.
