Hi, Erin. See you all the time on the GAA Forum.

Most of the prescriptions I get are from Omaha Vaccine Company (www.omahavaccine.com) or entirelypets.com because their pricing is MUCH better than 1800PedMeds. My Vet will NOT give me prescriptions if I am going to use 1800PetMeds. For some reason, he doesn't like them.

I read somewhere that Dr. Scholl's corn removal products are safe to use on dogs. You might want to try it. So glad Dodge is doing better.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! DeeDee is a beautiful little girl. Enjoy her.

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donna, she told me that he's 8 years old. He looked good on Saturday - before he broke his leg.

NGAP and she changed the registration, etc. Hi, Judy. Glad to see you made it to this Forum. BTW, the open mouth on the neck is really a play thing. Don't be too bothered by it. Just keep an eye out.

The anxiety/nervousness and weight gain could very well be from the low thyroid levels.

Beautiful tribute to Buddy and he was one handsome boy. Run free.

Congratulations. Grant is one handsome boy. Good Luck.

I have used Metacam for some of my greys, but my current two boys who have arthritis can't stomach it. I have them on Previcox, which my vet likes much better than Rimadyl.

Sheila, I think losing the first grey is always the hardest. You were lucky that Aria came into your life and gave you so much love. I still haven't gotten over the loss of my first and she died in August, 2004. Something special. Remember the good times and cry if you have to. You have lots of love to give your current pack and the fosters that pass through your home.

Has a complete Tick Titer been done on this boy. Is it possible he has Lyme's Disease???

It appears to me that it is a question of "quality of life" at this point and only you can make that determination. Good Luck and give him lots of love.

Could be a pulled muscle. Could be bursitis in his shoulder. That's what Brittne had. Don't panic.

My Buddy has LS and will be 12 next month. For the most part, he prefers the cushy bed, but switches between that one and a 2-inch foam bed. At night when we all go upstairs, he gets up on the living room sofa (which is fairly solid) and roaches for the night. FORTUNATELY, he has no protruding disks or arthritis in his back. Only LS.

Buddy will be 12 in January and he has had LSS now for about two years. He is on Previcox for arthritis and nothing else for the LSS. I have tried giving him Tramadol, but it makes him loopy and he seems to have less control over his legs when he is on it. The only times his legs have splayed out in the rear was when he was on the Tramadol, otherwise he doesn't seem to have too many problems. He doesn't appear to be in pain. He MUST go on his walk with the others but we only walk him one block and he's done. As long as he's out the door, he's happy. It amazes how he sometimes comes bounding across the yard like nothing is wrong. He stopped coming up the stairs to the bedrooms about two years ago and is content to roach on the sofa all night, which is fine with me. Rather him do that than hurt himself trying to come up. When he can no longer stand, he will join his sisters at the Bridge. Good Luck with Ruben.

What a handsome boy Oscar is. Enjoy him. So glad they found you the perfect match.

So sorry. It's never easy. Bodie will run free again.

That has to be so scary. Hope it's nothing like all of the tests show.

I never imagined I would find someone from the very same adoption program! I guess this forum is bigger than I thought, or it's just a small world. Everyone there has been so nice so far. I've have never done anything with an adoption agency before. Previously our pets have always been strays that have wandered into our lives at the right moment. I was worried because I've always heard horror stories about how rescues make you jump through hoops, etc. Everyone has been so helpful and down to earth. I'm currently waiting for a call from the mysterious 'Dog Matcher' but several people have mentioned that the new dogs are coming in on Saturday. I'm not sure if I can make it down there on Saturday AM since I live 3hrs and 30 mins away. I'm trying to get a friend to pick up stuff at a Church for me at 10am, so I don't have to be in town. Do you know if all the dogs usually get adopted right away? And then there is me - who worked up your adoption application.

If he's hyper, he's on TOO MUCH thyroid medication and is hyperthyroid at this point, not hypo thyroid. You should cut him back to .08mg once a day or split the pill and give him .4 AM and PM and see how that works. You should notice a remarkable difference. He will not put on any weight on such a high dose of Soloxine.

Just saw this Robin and I am keeping my fingers crossed for Beau. Sounds like he is doing better and I hope it's nothing more than arthritis, even at his young age.

One of my greys has a senstive stomach and I had been giving him Nutro Venison and Brown Rice with much success. I never had a problem with the food, nor did he, but all of a sudden you couldn't get the Nutro Venison or Herring for senstive stomachs. I was very happy to find NEW Nutro Venison and Brown Rice and the Herring and Brown Rice on the shelf again when I went to PetSmart yesterday. Food smells fine and dogs are fine.

If there is blood in the urine or poop, you better call your Vet. The dog could be in renal failure. It was ungodly hot on Sunday.
