puppy eating slugs
Mudmagnets:
That's reassured me Mudmagnet about the winter months being slug-free, she's good in the garden now but walks will be another story (only 7 days to go until her freedom day!)
We need some really hard frosts, me thinks. Maybe worth keeping him on a lead whilst out for a walk, then you will have the opportunity to teach a 'leave' if you think he is likely to be too interested in the flora and fauna (and indeed anything else that is delicious to them - but not us)

the other thing is I'm assuming if i have to take him back to get weighed before they will give me another advocate they will charge a consultation fee plus the cost of the advocate which make it pretty expensive for one treatment ,i did think of asking for a prescription but have a feeling they will only give me one for a month.
vixen:
Most vets will weigh dogs for free (usually done by a nurse). If it were me, I would mention your previous consultation and ask the nurse if you can have the next prescription according to his weight ;). I don’t see why you should have to pay for another vets consultation.

Quite agree, just a money spinner as far as I can see >:(
Just wondered have you got another vets in your local area? what with worming, injections and so forth maybe the thought of them losing your valuable custom may make a difference to their attitude. (it worked for me ;)
dave w:
yes i do have another vets close by , i think i will call them and ask about the charges
