Mine never need 'done' cos I feed raw chicken wings and it all happens naturally. You could try that and see how he goes.
Unfortunately this doesn't always work - Tigger has been eating chicken wings/BARF for just over a year - since he last had his anal glands emptied - and has just had to have his emptied (two weeks ago) again - he wasn't scooting, scratching or smelling (although I admit, I hadn't put my nose up his bottom
) but he had come out in a very nasty rash.Hope Dylan's OK soon.

I hate ticks - yuck, yuck, yuck!
We were in Dorset earlier in the year in an area I knew to be wick with the horrors.
I jiggled the timing of my Frontline treatment of Tigger and Daisy so that they were treated two weeks before we went to try to give them maximum protection.
After every walk they were both brushed and combed, and I would take off by hand every single tick I could find (bowl of water to hand for drowing, although next time I will take the alcohol), and really checked them over carefully.
As Tigger is longer coated, they would particularly gather around his shoulders, chest and "arm pits" - but I have to say that the Frontline did seem to work - as I really can't believe that I managed to hand pick off every one.
We were caught out last year when Tigger picked up a tick. I visited the vet local to where I was staying for some Frontline spray - they examined him, and were quite happy for me to use that treatment.
However, I think I will be investing in a tick remover too!

No comparison!
It's like asking us to choose between jam and marmalade!
HAS to be Marmite.
Vegemite just occupies precious Marmite storing space, while you wonder how to use it up.
Surprised no-one's brought Bovril into any of these discussions yet
or have I missed it? -
Hi Tricia
I noticed the other day that you'd joined - was waiting for the chance to say "helloooo" to you.
I'm a newbie here myself - still trying to find my way around and being daunted by them all!

I recognise those two, those two is 'Best Pair' from the Melton Country Fair
Welcome to the B family

Boobies?
*running away - no, cancel that - walking away at a very slow creep...*
I've told you before, you're just jealous!
Mrs B is currently considering planning a telly appearance for Sarah of Wiccaweys ......
Revenge could be sooooooo sweet.

D'you know, a Newbie around here could end up with a real complex.
Not to mention having folks build up quite a picture of me and my er ........

Oh Gawd! Who let the rabble in!?! TeeeeHeeeeee!
Tigger and MrsB have been on TV this morning, flashing their Wiccaweys logos!
Hee, hee.
Took you long enough to find me. Perhaps I should have used an alias - like Margaret!
Tigger says ..........
I lurve my Auntie Sarah and Uncle Paul.

Well, if I post a picture of Mr B, he comes with a Tigger attached ....

Hello, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to wait to be introduced, or whether I can introduce myself - if I'm told off after my first post, I'll know I've well and truly misbehaved.
No doubt you are far more interested in the other member of the family. So here they are.
First meet Tigger.
Tigger is a Wiccaweys boy, who came to us 15 months ago. Something of a challenge to start with, he has turned into a wonderful loving little man.
And now meet Daisy, a happy-go-lucky little girl who came to live with us earlier this year.
And here's a picture of the two of them together for good measure.
We live in Lincolnshire - with Mr B. (Do we require a picture of him too?)
And it's all Sparkle's fault that I'm here.

Mange [possibly]

I'm currently treating Tigger (and therefore Daisy) for mange.
Have to admit to taking Tigger to the vets
and we've ended up with Stronghold - with a repeat dose to be given in one month.
As a warning I would say that this did not give immediate respite to the itching, and Tigger continued to chew holes in his leg. The things suggested to me to try to alleviate the itching were Piriton - which had no effect whatsoever on Tigger and Daisy, but apparently works on some dogs - available very cheaply from the human chemists, and very expensively from the vets. The other thing I have used is aloe vera - principally in liquid form which I've given them twice a day which I "think" has had an effect - at least we now have bare skin rather than blood and scabs, and I think there is less scratching, itching and chewing.
Poor little man.
