Happy Birthday, Polli. I miss you, sweetie. GT is not the same without you. Lots of hugs for your mum and dad, who miss you more than words can say :grouphug :grouphug

:cry1 :grouphug

Sending lots of good thoughts for James! :goodluck :goodluck

I use K9 Apparel's booties and while Merlin doesn't like it when I put them on, he trots away contentedly when he's outside. They really help because his paws freeze up otherwise and he starts limping. You could try a different kind of boot, but I would also advise you to take some very deep breaths when putting the booties on and walking her - don't let yourself be overcome with frustration (I know, I know - easier said than d0ne, right> I've been there, I understand! ). It's possible that Chai senses your frustration and is responding to that as well. You might want to try muzzling her briefly while you put the booties on. And use REALLY yummy treats, so she associates booties with something really delicious, not just ordinary treats. Good luck!!

Oh, poor Blu! :( That looks so sore Have you tried flaxseed oil? It has been known to help with skin issues and allergies. I really hope your vet can give you some answers! :goodluck

Woo-hoo!! :yay :yay

Wonderful news! :yay

Agreed. It's hard to tell from just reading a post, but it doesn't sound like something I'd rush to the e-vet for, personally. I'd just keep an eye on it, keep it clean, and if it looks a lot worse by Saturday I'd take the dog to the vet.

Oh, poor Diamond I hope she heals fast and with not too much discomfort :goodluck I am certain that an extra special birthday will help with the healing Too true. I've so been there.

Not really, I just laid them on him and the held the spot that needed to be cut until I could grab the scissors. Or maybe I just got lucky. Twice Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when you were doing that!! That would be a video worthy of YouTube for sure

Hopefully Amber (SoulsMom) will see this thread and post pictures of Soul in boxer briefs. I think they worked really well. She bought them for him recently, if you recall, because he had a rash and kept bothering it. I'll see if I can get in touch with her.

Recent... But I'll be happy either way

Lots of good thoughts for Elsie!!!!! :goodluck :goodluck

I'm so terribly sorry, Deb. :( :grouphug

What others have said. Has he ever expressed his dislike for booties before when with you? I am wondering whether a vet check on his paws/pads might be in order. His biting and growling might be a reaction to pain, particularly if you say this is very out of the ordinary.

Sending more good thoughts for Lola! Hope she is keeping her food down.

:cry1 I am so very sorry :grouphug Hobbes will be greatly missed on this board too.

Karen :grouphug Clearly Tess was a very special girl May she rest in peace - and four years on, she lives in your heart now and always.

That's fantastic news, Susan! A great relief for you, I'm sure.
