Pet subjects: does our rabbit need wellies? Q: I have been feeding a feral cat for a year now and cannot get near him. I want to neuter him but the journey to the vet will be extremely stressful. Any tips? JE, North Shropshire A: The only answer is to borrow a cat trap. Once he is in the trap, he will not be happy, but he will at least be safe. It will be stressful, but once he's had the op, he will settle down. Talk to your vet about how to find a cat trap. Q: My eight-year-old Labrador has a bald patch, five inches below the base of his tail. My vet says it is a gland problem and isn't a concern. A work colleague says there is a procedure that will sort it out but isn't very pleasant. Any advice? MC, Whitehaven A: Your vet is correct. There is a glandular area in the skin on top of the tail which normally has sparse hair and sometimes goes bald. Your workmate is talking about anal glands, which are found underneath the tail.
