Do I say, this was on sky 2 just now. Watched it before - screamed at princess's owner. Thankfully everyone saw the light and thier pet's lost weight.

As for the other comments on this thread, I knew a dog on wheels, and it transformed him, he'd rush around the surgery wagging tail, owner said the same thing happened at home if she called out wheels walkies, He was flying around! Had a client voice her protests, promtly the dog tore up to her wagging his tail and then torn into the consult room. Informed said client that if the dog wasn't happy, he would be running like that. Sadly in the end the time came, the owner said the lack of enjoyment when the wheels came out is what told her the time had come. I cried alot. He was a very wonderful dog :)

I didn't watch the pet disability program I will confess, so maybe the pet was being dragged around in its wheels.

But again they only put it on wheels at certain times and it had use of back legs any other time!

ohh i remember that now... but he seemed happy and was well looked after and had a fairly decent quality of life ... i think!!

the cat with the nappy was an odd one but again he was happy and surely thats what matters? I think it's good theres a few nutty owners who wont always agree with the PTS decision when there is a solution... a crazy one maybe!!

Im fuming, i really am.... 4 hours after ckcs visited the vet, the owner fed it 6 pieces of human birthday cake!!! Now the rottie is at the groomers and the groomer has a go at the owner saying owner is killin her dog... which i suppose is very true. well done for grromer speaking out i think!! Although owner didnt listen... so so sad, poor animal!!
