There appears to be some issues with this section guys.
Any posts placed here are to be individual questions specifically for Andrew or his colleagues. Any forum member wishing to offer their opinion or personal advice to the originator of the query please feel free to PM them or bring it up in the "advice" section.
If forum members want advice or opinions from the general public please post in the "advice" section. We know it will mean posting twice (cutting and pasting is really not that difficult - I can do it

) but it will therefore leave this section clear of messy posts and easy for Andrew to navigate.
Remember guys, he is not an akita owner or enthusiast like us lot, simply a good vet with a healthy relationship with Rob and his dogs.
Thanks all for your co operation and apologies for the draconian message - but at least I only need to say it once.
