When my friend's bitch Poppy was literally on deaths door, they had to shave her tummy to do an ultrasound and found that she was covered in harvest mites ............ you couldn't see them through her dark liver coat; but as Countryfile said last night its not conclusive.

Julie, that's interesting.  The Animal Health Trust have an online questionnaire as they want to gather as much information as possible, if only to rule out harvest mites!

Maybe your friend could fill it in.  It may come to nothing, but they are welcoming peoples' experiences to aid their research.

I've completed the questionnaire as we reckon Troy had this. Obviously we can't be sure but his symptoms match and this was something the vet suspected.  In all honesty I thought she was just fobbing us off as she didn't know what it was but after researching I think she might have been right.  As others have said, he ended up on a drip (I didn't think he was going to make it  ) The most awful symptom for him was the Lethargy.  He was literally spaced out and really floppy with projectile vomiting.  We believe the culprit was Sherwood Pines.  Needless to say it has put us off visiting again at this time of year!

Neon - fortunately the vet that Poppy went to (and we do too) was straight on to the AHT and logged the incident and kept them up to date with the treatment that she responded to.  One lucky little dog.   They also reported to the AHT that her owners garden has an awful lot of pigeon activity i.e. poo on the ground and she has historically been abit of a poo-hooverer-upper ?! so they sent that info through and Richard is doing his best to stop her doing that too (not that easy as you can imagine)

Julie - good to hear that and kudos to the vet!  So glad Poppy made it. x

That's a shame, sorry you've had to miss it.

I may be wrong on this one but i think i remember seeing on one of the threads about the programme that someone was going to record it and put it on DVD? I may be completely wrong, but perhaps have a look and see? It might be up on youtube in a few weeks time....you never know!
