He was better tonight - it was still damp but at least not raining. It was pouring this morning and he fully intended going for a poo and then in again!!
He's such a rascal - it's hard to know if he's fed up because he's being made to go out in the wet or if he's actually ill!!
It is really hard to figure anything out when it is raining isn't it. Mine doesn't want to go out when it's raining either or especially thundering, and she'll hold it forever it seems to try not to go out. Of course that makes her belly feel bad and I'm almost guaranteed to have a dog with an upset stomach and gastro system if she tries that. Hopefully that is all this is.

He just about needs pushed out of the door when it's raining and if he sees his coat coming out, he runs and hides because he knows that means it's raining. He hates wearing a coat (unless it's snowing, then it's acceptable) but he hates getting wet in the rain - and I stand like an idiot trying to explain the benefits of a coat!
Let me know if explaining it works since Molly doesn't like to wear a coat either. She doesn't really want to be wet and luckily she is small enough I can pick her up and plop her down in the grass. Not exactly an option with Cairo.
Is it still raining there? How is he doing now?

Explaining doesn't work sadly. It's stopped raining now and it will be dry tomorrow allegedly. It was raining when we were out tonight and he just kept giving me the filthiest looks and trying to get under the umbrella with me. He really didn't look very pleased. One very peed off puppy!
I'll soon find out how he's feeling - when the leaves start to fall from the trees will be the tester - he loves chasing fallen leaves
oh yea, that will be the test then. Molly likes the leave piles. LOL

Cairo's had like scaly patches of skin on his elbows for ages now - since just before his Cushing's diagnosis.
Over the last couple of days, the same patch of scaliness has appeared on his nose. He's booked in at the vet on Friday but anyone got any ideas?
hmm, I don't really know. scaly nose isn't normally associated with cushings, as cushing skin issues come from thinness of fur and calcium deposits that poke up out of the skin, causing sores.
Not sure about the nose thing. Maybe some of the others have some ideas.

Not sure about the skin but don't you know Staffys can't get wet incase they shrink in the rain :eek:
We have had the rain down here as well it's been a bit miserable
It's strange - it's sort of crusty looking. I was wiping it in case it was something he had stuck on his nose! He didn't look best pleased and wondered what the heck I was doing.
I do worry about him shrinking - or turning into a gremlin.................
His coat is too small for him now and trying to get a coat to fit a staffy isn't easy - I had to make his current coat, so I'm going for fabric tomorrow to make him a new coat. Get him - made to measure coats!
