| 21. Author: wjmcm Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 09:58 I live in Australia. A mate of mine, Keiran, went to pick up his dog at the vet. It had been kept overnight having had a tick removed. Mate goes in next morning to get the dog. "How much?", he asked. "!600 A$". He turned round and walked to the door. "Keep the elfin dog" he said. "All right, 1200" shouted the receptionist. "You heard me" said the big fella. Eventually he paid $750. True story. Reply |

Fairly sure for Inglis it`s Petplan, who also happen to be bloody expensive! I know costs have risen but I don`t remember prices ever being as high as they are now. Reply |

| 24. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 12:36 Given the urgency of his problem I presume PARrot wanted to alert as many people as possible to it and knew that this was the most popular forum for Pars` fans. We`re all here to help each other when we can aren`t we? Reply |
| 25. Author: PARrot Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 13:39 Grapes sultanas raisins and sugar free chewing gum are the killers. Even one grape can kill a large dog. Chocolate also bad but needs to be a few squares of solid chocolate. Not a thin coated biscuit. Still can make them ill though. Grapes are the worst. I can`t see how they got there unless it was deliberate. She`s a pup still. Barks at everyone who walks down piggy lane. Maybe someone got pissed off Reply |
| 26. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 13:50 PARrot, Mon 23 Mar 13:39 Could also be completely innocuous like a child thats dropped them by mistake. Suppose you will never know unless you have cameras up on the area. I certainly wouldn’t have known grapes can kill a dog till this post came up. Reply |

| 28. Author: BigTpar1986 Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 14:11 wee eck, Mon 23 Mar 12:36 A total nonsense response, Eric. Without belittling what I would agree to be a harrowing experience, a football thread is the last place 99.9% of pet owners would go to seeking urgent advice. This post should be moved to off topic.

| 29. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 14:44 I think the subject has run its course so moving the thread is pointless. What a pathetic attempt to cause a bit of aggro. Reply |
| 30. Author: twin par Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 14:50 Having two labs,I probably would have put it on football section as well,to get some urgent response ,good on you parrot! Reply |
| 31. Author: SusieQ Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 15:08 Very possible in his panic he`s just posted and not paid attention to the forum title. Cut someone needing urgent help some slack ffs. Maybe best to move / close now it`s been resolved tho 🤔 COME ON YE PARS! Post Edited (Mon 23 Mar 15:09) Reply |
| 32. Author: PARrot Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 15:37 wee eck, Mon 23 Mar 12:36 Exactly that wee Eck. I had a short window. Shame some have a short fuse. It has served its purpose now and thanks everyone. It could be moved to off topic to continue the conversation now. Thanks. Post Edited (Mon 23 Mar 15:41) Reply |
| 33. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 16:48 Not all sugar free gum. It used to be Wrigleys Extra as it had Xylitol in it..I don`t think it does anymore. Reply |
| 34. Author: Parsweep Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 17:39 If the post had been on any other forum I wouldn`t have seen it . As it was i couldn`t help , but it was absolutely correct to put it where most people would see it . Glad all`s well PARrot 👍 Bobvo Reply |

| 36. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 18:30 No issue with posting on this forum and understand the reason behind it. Glad you’ve got it sorted ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 37. Author: Parsweep Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 19:03 AdamAntsParsStripe, Mon 23 Mar 18:16 PARrot was looking for help , it was possibly life or death for his dog. IMO he was right to post where he thought most people would see it . I really don`t see why folk are making a stooshie out of this . Bobvo Reply |
| 38. Author: CrossPar Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 19:03 A solution would have been a short post referring people to the proper forum where the full post could be read. Reply |
| 39. Author: red-star-par Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 21:27 BigTpar1986, Mon 23 Mar 14:11 When I seen the post, it was obvious it had been put there due to the urgency of the situation, I don`t see a problem with that Reply |
| 40. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Mon 23rd Mar 2026. 22:43 Just in future PARrot just say the dog was kicking a football when he seen the grape think that makes anyone that has an issue with you needing help has no reason to complain as it was football related Reply |
