Thanks all! Such good advice ☺️

I'm so grateful to each of you for such helpful responses. Reading them I know we can go! WRT medical records - what kind of records and why would I need them? I've had a ton of senior's panels done. Would they need them for a comparison if there is an emergency? I'm so grateful to each of you for such helpful responses. Reading them I know we can go!

Also should note, she gets up. It just takes a moment for her to get those back legs collected to push herself up.

My girl is 13.5 years old and has hind end weakness. She is on Dasuquin and although it helps tremendously she still has issues getting up when she is lying down. We have travelled extensively with her and we stop every two to three hours. I'm wondering if we should travel this September with her. My concern is it is difficult for her to get up and adjust her position if she is uncomfortable - I can't see her from the cab (she is safely kennelled in the canopy). I know a long trip is not a good idea but am wondering if a shorter trip would be okay? Would this be hard on her? Anyone care to share their opinions?

Thank you

Thanks all!

My girl is 13.4 years old. Her first and only bout with pancreatitis was in August 2014. She's on a low fat kibble. I want to switch to raw. Is it safe?

My girl had her first and only pancreatitis attack in August 2014. She is 13.4 years old. On the vet's advice she was put on a low fat diet - the Ingredients are not great. I'm wondering (hoping!) I can put her on raw. If it's safe to do so (opinions anyone?) should I keep her on lower fat raw or does it matter?

As I understand it, the Revolution pill our vet recommended is to be given once a month. Costs almost $40 per dose. She should get the first Dose August 26. We are in the US September 6 - 25. Second pill is taken September 25. This type of Revolution covers Heartworm, fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks aren't an issue here in Vancouver.

Huge appreciation to all that took time to help me and Miss Music. We are travelling in an RV so will be in campgrounds all the way there so we are not taking any chances with her health. She will get Revolution, lepto and bottled water. I am grateful to each one of you ! 🐾😊🐾 Thanks again Leah and Miss Mews And we will keep her out of the long grass too!

We live near Vancouver, BC. Heartworm is non-existent here. However, we are travelling with our almost 13-year-old greyhound to Yosemite in September. We are taking the I5 through Washington and Oregon. When we hit California we may head to the coast to travel down highway 101 to San Francisco and then head to Yosemite. Anyone have an opinion as to whether we should protect Miss Music with Heartworm prevention? I have no idea and neither does our vet. Appreciated as always guys! Leah

Sorry for the multiple posts - whoever erased the "extras" - thank you! Thank you to all who replied. We'll be doing Heartworm meds. When I took her in for a vet check, my guy told me to check with a Waldport vet to see if it was in the area. I knew the Greytalkers would know! My precious little old lady will be spending a well deserved week on the beach with us. I'm hesitant to inject or apply anything chemical on her unless I know she absolutely needs it. Appears this is not something we can avoid though. She is up-to-date on all her shots including Lyme so once the Heartworm meds are added, she should be good to go! Again, thank you Greytalkers 🐾

we do not have Heartworm where I live but we are travelling to Waldport Oregon via i5 thru Washington. Does anyone know if there is Heartworm on our route?
