Hi all, our 7 year old collie has been diagnosed with bi lateral arthritis in each front paw knuckles and we're devastated as she's so young. We're also frightened as to what this means for her as she gets older. The onset was sudden after having a mad half hour play with another dog. She was...

I have a 12 week old border collie puppy that has been limping on her front leg for almost 4 weeks now. She's weight bearing on the leg, no obvious pain, swelling or stiffness when you feel down the leg and do a flexion test. Due to lockdown the first time she could be physically examined by...

Hi, im new here and am looking for some advice. My husband and I rescued a border collie in October (he has just turned 1 this month). He is the most amazing and loving dog i have ever met, and he settled in really well. We had the normal puppy teething issues with a few accidents but nothing...

My lab collie cross has a very high prey drive. She constantly tries to charge and go after wildlife and acts completely crazy around deer and pheasants especially (yelping, lunging on her lead, not paying any attention to me, almost pulling me over to get to things). We can't let her off her...
