Ford focus mk3 2012 absolutely dead dead

Hi, after a short 20 minute drive I tried to turn the engine on (a bit quickly) and it caused everything to completely die. There was a warning light and ping for a few seconds the second time i tried but then everything died. A few times after that i had some weak LEDs around the radio display blink and any time after that there is zero response, not even able to lock it or put hazards on.

Is this a blown battery or a blown mega fuse or potentially both? Ive replaced the other fuses alongside the mega fuse (different available delivery) to no avail so far.

Ive had current issues for a few years with drops and surges in power to all systems (headlights, interior lights, display, fans/AC) so I assumed once it went it was a cracked, now blown, fuse. Im going to replace it today but does anyone have any suggestions for what else it could be?

Help with dogs coprophagia

I dont know how or why it started but slowly my 7 year old golden coprophagia has gotten worse and worse to the point that he is now being deliberately secretive, sneaky and disobedient whenever he finds some poo, eating it as fast as possible and even running away from me. Is this a case of never letting him off lead again without a muzzle / head net situation or is there anything I can do to train it out of him? He KNOWS he isnt allowed to do it hence why he has now started to run away if he finds some.

Recommendations for alternative foods for puppy

Hi, im struggling to move my puppy off of chappie, he went onto it along with some medication to help his stools harden up but ever since even just a slight handful of puppy kibble and at best its a 50/50 stool and im starting to worry he is underweight as he is a golden and doesnt look more round like other golden puppies usually do. Any recommendations from people who had similar problems but managed to move onto a healthier diet is much appreciated

Cat keeps peeing on things it shouldn't

Hi, ill begin with ruling out everything else: its not an infection, its not because the box isnt clean, its not because its too far away, its not because she is elderly and incontinent, its not cancer, its not because its suddenly living with a dog.

​

Since moving in with me my partners cat has taken to peeing on ANYTHING it sees fit. Plastic bags, my kit bag, my work clothes next to the bed, the dog bed, the bath mat, and just now it went through the effort to pee in my partners slipper / kids school shoes.

​

The move was stressful but we accommodated the cat very well to the point my partner looked after my dog frequently at their house before moving and she has been settled for 7 months now. We had to downsize from 2 to 1 litter tray as its a much smaller house and to stop the dog eating cat poo we had to put the cover on which the cat doesnt like to the point of having to attach plastic cat deterrent spikes on top of the cover of the tray to stop her peeing on that.

​

We though we had figured it out after limiting the cat to the livingroom, stairs/hall and bathroom (where the tray is) and hanging the bathmat when not in use but she keeps finding more ways to be a dick about it. We've tried spray bottles but now she's just being sneaky about it instead
