Exciting!!

Absolutely I would though it would be a basket muzzle, not a fabric one . If a fabric muzzle is loose enough to allow panting, it's also not going to be terribly safe either. If a dog's behaviour is troubling enough to warrant a muzzle, I'd probably like him/her also to be on a leash or long line. R...

Poor Maggie and poor you. I'm late to the party, but all I have to add is that it's recommended to try a novel protein and veg/starch to start and elimination diet, so if I was picking raw at this stage, I'd probably at least try 4-6 weeks on one that's likely to be novel and nutrient dense like ven...

Aw. It's hard. It sounds like it will be a really good situation for him though.

I have no idea. The people I know doing keto are doing it for weight loss, or so I thought?

I feel for you. I sure hope a good home for him turns up soon. Is there a Viszla rescue group or anyone who would do a courtesy listing? It's hard to find homes for dogs who have special needs

I feel your pain on trying to find a rescue group or suitable home. I had no luck getting a rescue group here to even courtesy post Tricky.

I looked into CBD oil, thinking it might be an option for Rosie, and it's super expensive here too. Tricky seemed significantly improved on Calm Shen by Herbsmith. I wasn't really sure if she was any different on lactium or l-theanine. Emily had good results with Calm Shen with one of her dogs too. ...

I'm about to spend $800 or so to neuter Will and do his OFA hips and elbows and MDR1 etc, what's a few more $$ to the vet, right?

e-vet visit was maybe a month ago?

Rosie came as an adult to rescue, but best guess is she's about 15. She is not drinking more than usual. Sam didn't seem to drink more than normal, but he was waking us up to pee during the night in his last year or more. I need to get Will in for a rabies vax sometimes soon. I think I'll bring her ...

Is he on any medication for anxiety, like an SSRI?

Rosie is: - getting a bit picky about food (very unusual for her) -starting to have a bit of incontinence. I've found a couple of small puddles. It seems like they happen when she hasn't been out in a 4 -5 hrs and she comes to see me at the door or at my desk. She is getting pee on herself, unlike w...

I gave thuja to rosie on the off chance homeopathy works and that her dog aggression that showed up late in life was related to her rabies vax. No difference, but cheap to try.

I'm sorry that the test results weren't more better or more conclusive news. As far as what to do- Rosie has some lumps and bumps. My vet suspects they are just old lady lumps. I'm not biopsying any of them because I'm not putting her through surgery, chemo or radiation at her age. I'd rather assume...

Hmmm, well, I hope it's one of those old man lump bumps and it can just stay there minding its own business.

I am so sorry, Nana. It's so so hard to watch them decline and be powerless to stop it. Thanks for the update. I'm sending you love and the powerful ODO goodvibes for strength through this.

I flew a puppy once and she was really scared, screamed when the plane fired up it's engines.She was a pretty fearful 'doesn't deal well with change' puppy though. We had a very long travel day and I couldn't get her to pee outside the airport or on a pee pad. She was stressed and confused. She fina...

I did use liver support factors for Sam, but it seemed to change. The caplets looked different and he stopped tolerating them.

Oh yeah, I could do milk thistle too. I have a ton of it left from Sam. Good thinking!

Rosie was given metacam (in addition to two kinds of eye drops) for uveitis/retinitis a week ago. She seems happier on it and the e-vet suggested it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep her on it. I agree that she's more comfortable and energetic on it, though perhaps she has been feeling really crappy wi...

Wow, how did I miss this? Damned ticks. Do they think the seizurey stuff is related to the lyme or...?

Bleeping ticks. I hope the treatment has her feeling much better soon. Keep us posted.

INGREDIENTS: Maltodextrins, calcium carbonate, potassium citrate, chitosan, artificial meat flavor. Im not inclined to give meds that dogs refuse at the end of their life particularly if they are getting really expensive and knowing kidney failure already causes that nausea, malaise, hungover feelin...

I haven't heard of that one. Sam took amino B-plex as his vitamin support. It was 1ml on his food twice daily and seemed palatable.

If she didn't refund you on the hips and being that oversized, I highly doubt she would over the hypothyroid. I am not sure where you would post on FB that would serve to warn other potential puppy buyers. What about the breed club?

I haven't done a lot of research, but there seem to be plenty of vets who don't think that sensitivities test Dr Dodds does is something people should put a lot of stock in.

"Every dog has a unique personality and keeping a dog that doesn't fit out of guilt (pushed upon you more by L) will not be healthy for anyone. Why crate and rotate, and not have a full family unit when she can be rehomed to a place where she can be happy? Obviously, dumping a dog with no care of it...

Aw man, I'm so sorry, Lynn. Could there be something going on with her health? That seems like a huge, sudden change?

Trial Will in rally.I'd like to do some more nosework and agility with him, but it's just hard to find the time and money. Also hard to find good instruction here.
Keep giving Rosie good golden years--she's about 15--best guess--- and it's showing more and more.
