This week, I moved my pet goldfish Ricky from his home in an indoor tank beside my desk indoors to a larger living space outside, in a raised brick pond.
I told Ricky’s story – with its messages for all the other single goldfish out there – in the Telegraph and in my weekly Pat Kenny Vet Spot.
The basic message is simple: goldfish get lonely on their own, so do all you can to give them a social life.
Questions from listeners
The Pat Kenny Show, as usual, featured questions from listeners. This week I discussed:
- Collapsing tracheas in terriers
- Dealing with bullying cats
- Choosing the right type of dog for a family situation
Live Facebook Stream
Next week, we are planning a live Facebook video stream after the end of the Pat Kenny Show, so look out for that.
Please note that I am unable to answer veterinary questions in comments. If you have questions or concerns about your pet's health it is always better to contact your vet.
