Where can I get Arnica gel? It sounds like something I need to have on hand.
I get mine at Sprouts...not sure if you have that patricular store where you are? I think any health food store should carry it.

Glad to hear the good news!

Beautiful hound.....

Yes, there were behavior changes with Nevada. She was sometimes very restless & had become very aloof. At the height of the disease before we had a diagnosis, she wanted nothing to do with me-it was all about water & food. Symptoms & behavior went back to near normal after she was stabilized. Nevada never became grumpy or growled. At the end of her life she started having neurological problems. Hugs to you......this disease is a tough one.

Just catching up on reading posts......GOOD NEWS!

You might want to consider stopping her from jumping up on the bed. If she indeed has a back problem, you don't want to aggravate it & cause more problems. When Nevada was having her back problems, the Vet told me to stop her from jumping. I would hoist her onto the bed after that-even though she wanted to jump. As she got weaker she figured out that she could no longer jump herself.

How about something frozen in a Kong? The cold would also help if he started to bleed.

I second the opinion on the acupuncture. I wish I had tried that for Nevada.

I am so happy for all of you.......wishing only the best in 2009!

My Nevada had a bladder of iron & would normally hold her pee-pee for 10-12 hours a day-even as she aged. Never a problem. I think your boy is just reacting to the schedule change.

The air quality has been pretty bad in the Phoenix area over the past few days. It may be just the air.
-
I found as Nevada progressed in age, that I had to start lifting her on & off the bed too. It helped prevent further back issues. I think that she liked the attention too.

How's the old gal doing this morning?

Hopefully just a temporary thing......hugs to her & you.

Spoil her like crazy......

Now it almost sounds like a skin infection or cyst that has ruptured.
I'm assuming that the scabby stuff is on the outside? -
I always worry when they need to be put under, but 10 is really not that old and if all his blood work looks good, he should do fine. Naturally you'll worry, but if it is a tooth, that has to be painful for him. Whatever it is, when there's swelling, it hurts! I've got him tucked in my prayers and please, keep us posted.
Thanks
Having him put under scares the ever living **** out of me
You know how people have phobia's? That one is mine. Heck I've had surgery myself several times (most recent one a few months ago) and have been put under and don't think a thing about it........... (when it comes to me)... but when it comes to one of my critters........... I am a flippin' basket case!!!!
:Nevada had her first dental at 12 years old. I was lucky...she had genetically beautiful teeth. She did great- woke a little slowly, but she was fine.
-
I almost thought that it looked a little high for a tooth.....how about some buffered asprin? That might help with the swelling too.
-
I'm so sorry........I'm sure that Nevada, my Cushings girl, is showing her the way......
-
Have them run Valley Fever while they are at it. Should not be much additional cost. I know Shanti gets fevers.
Valley Fever was my first thought......having had the disease personally, I can vouch for the fevers.
-
Maybe put a old blankie down that he will walk on & let him pee on it?
-
This just breaks my heart. I can't even imagine how sad you all must be. Thank you for giving him a chance.

Is he currently in the hospital? Are they controlling his pain now?
