    Osteo any new treatment? Amputation is not an option.

    I'm sorry you are going through this :( One thing I will mention is my regular vet was able to do the Pamidronate infusions. Wylie never saw an oncologist. They were new to it and had only done it on one dog before, but they did it for me & Wylie and we had good results. Thank you Neyla's Mom for the Zoledronate name - I couldn't remember it. It was expensive about $600-$700 per treatment, but he had pet insurance which covered most of it. I didn't worry too much about the long term side effects since I knew his time would be limited. It would be worth asking your regular vet if they have ever done it.

     

    Harness to Prevent Backing Out When Spooked

    I agree with either the spook harness or the freedom no pull harness. The last thing you want is her for to get loose and bolt into traffic.

    You can use a single leash clip or double, both will work. And since even harnesses are not always escape-proof, you can also use a coupler to attach the harness and collar together as a back up.

     

    Dry Air Causing Increased Drinking? New Theories/update #37

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    I have not read all the responses, but our girl Razzy was having pee accidents in the house, drinking a ton, and ruled out negative for UTI's. This happened several years in a row with no diagnosis. When we looked back through her records, it was always around November when we first turn the heat on. She was drinking more and peeing more whenever the heat was on. We now run a heavy duty humidifier and try to limit her water intake in the winter months.

    Excess Water Drinking And Accidents In The House

    It definitely could be medical or behavioral, especially with him being so new. However, I just wanted to share my experience with my girl, Razzy. She was drinking a lot and peeing in the house a lot, at certain times of year, even though she is completely housebroken. After testing her several times for medical issues with no diagnosis, we realized over the years it was happening in November, when we usually turn the heat on. Our house was so dry she was drinking a lot more and not able to hold it as long. We have a humidifier now and monitor her water intake. Good luck!

    Ear Tip Bleeding

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted · Edited by JenniferS

    A long time ago a dog in my care got the tip of his ear bit off (by my own dog :(). The bleeding would not stop and a bandage would not stay on. We went to the e-vet and they had to wrap his whole head :( But that was the only way to get it to stop. It was not able to be sutured, but I think they did use some type of glue to bond it.

    Question For Dewey Vendors

    in 2021 Archive

    Posted

    I personally liked years past at Dewey when their were tons of vendors in hotel room and condos. It was so fun and banners were great! One way to get everyone to visit you was "Vendoropoly" which was a map given out with registration and if you visited every vendor on the board, you got entered into a grand prize drawing. Bring back Vendoropoly!!
