(((hugs, prayers))) My vet helped me to decide with my 18 year old dog. He always told me you will just know but I really didn't. We talked about the quality of life which helped me. Try to think of what is best for the dog.

I have to do lexie's annually since she is a therapy dog it is required

we use iams low residue, beet pulp sprinkled on food and 1 tsp of tylan powder. the combination has worked wonders for over a year (knock on wood)

when one of our dogs passed, the vet sent a donation in care of her name to osu. I thought that was sooo nice. the dog was 18 years old and had been at the same vet all those years so i was really touched by their gesture.

lol

i would put some neosporin on it and cover like you are doing

wow, i didn't know that was bad for greys. someone on here told me to use small amount on gauze to rub her gums. I have been using it for a year now, no problem. why is it bad for them? Now i wonder if i should stop?

see if u can put some cold compresses on him or ice (which might be a lil difficult) I know baking soda mixed with water as a compress helps humans maybe the same for houndies. (hugs))

love the name

lexie takes a powder med everyday. we put it in applesause or yogurt. Maybe try those?

welcome from ohio.lexie is 4

((prayers))) I havent been following all your posts but did they try tylan powder? It helped with lexie's diarhea when nothing else would including many food changes.

I take biotene (humans use it for sensitive mouths) put some on a small piece of paper towel and rub it on her gums. Keeps them free of bacteria build up and smells good too

we had to show ours how to play..tossed a ball to each other. Then i also took her to watch other dogs chasing balls. It took 4 months but it worked..lol. Ours also plays with her stuffies when we aren't looking..lol Gracie also just started after 2 years too! She will go into my son's playroom when no one is home a take out a stuffie to play with. I've only seen her play a few times and it looks like she is embarrassed when she notices me watching. I wonder why they feel when we are watching they can't play?

u should make em and sell them..us not so handy people could not do such a nice job lol

wow the stitch area looks really good. she won't even need plastic surgery

i have heard dishwashing sopa gets rid of pests..that prob wouldnt kill the grass. might be worth a shot

I noticed today that one of Lexie's large pads looks like it is starting to split..like a start of a split. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from getting worse? Or what is the best thing to put on it to help it heal the crack? Neosporin or trypzyme liquid? Or should I just leave it alone? She will be going to a kennel in 3 weeks for a few days so I am hoping to help her now before something makes it worse.

welcome lurker

((prayers for dax))) speedy recovery

we took one of our dogs ashes and put it in a flower pot outside and actually put a tree seed in it. A year later we transfered it to the ground. Kind of neat so now he has his own tree

I am sure mona doesn't have to do much keeping in line...lol and WELCOME from Ohio

so so sorry

My vet always says you need the first catch. He tells me to keep it in the fridge till I come in and to my surprise no one thought it was lemonade..lol

I take neurontin. I didn't realize they give it to dogs too. I Hope it helps Outlaw. In people, neurontin takes a few weeks to reach full effect but after a few days it is in your system. (((prayers)))
