My bridge angel Phoenix had a TBD called babesia, which isn't treated with antibiotics. Some of his symptoms were similar to what you're describing, especially acting depressed.

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry. Iker was started on Clomicalm last year; 40mg. He did terribly on it and was taken off fairly quickly. He stopped eating and never got up. I started him on it again last month, starting with 10mg and increasing it by 10mg every two weeks. We're up to 30 now and he is doing really well. Maybe a gradual increase might work? He sounds like Iker. I can't take him for a walk if there are any signs of people anyplace, even with the Clomicalm. He got away from me twice, and ran straight to my front door both times. He is happiest in my room, where he feels safe, just like you've described Zhivaya. He is afraid of kids, bicycles, men, cars, trains, you name it. I think sometimes we just have to accept their personalities and love them for who they are, not who we wish they were (I'm not saying that you're doing, i mean in general). I had a great session with an animal behaviourist via Skype. She suggested that I was starting desensitization in steps that were too big. She had me start to toss treats to Iker while he was comfortable and laying down. Every time I changed, like stood up, I tossed him more. Eventually I will start to toss him treats as we leave the house, but we haven't gotten that far yet.

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry. I've always thought Pudge was very beautiful.

Congratulations to all!

Another picture of Iker. Something interested him outside He is very expressive. You should see him when he is angry

Hello! I live with a galgo named Iker. I brought him home from Spain a couple of years ago. He is afraid of lots of things but is growing less afraid every day.

I'm sorry, Heather

Happy Gotcha Day!

Wow, I can't believe it was 10 years ago. Think of what a blast he's having with all of the bridge babies

I'm so very sorry

Steve, I'm so very sorry. I was shocked when I saw Sadie's name.

I'm so sorry, Jay

I'm so very sorry

I used to feed my dogs California Natural but switched after they ere bought out by one of the big pet food companies. I feed Iker Go! Fit and Free, which is Canadian and hasn't had any recalls. http://www.petcurean.com/for-dogs/go/fit-and-free-grain-free-adult

Kar' I know how upsetting it is to have to witness what you witnessed. I had the same thing with bridge angel Loca. She kept collapsing and was in obvious pain, vet would say that she pulled a muscle. We finally ended up at the E-vet, then University of Guelph for tests. There came a point where I said, no more tests, she was into much pain and I just didn't want her to hurt any more. No sleep for a week, work getting upset because dog is more important than job, etc. I made the same decision that you made and it was a decision out of love and compassion. Just don't forget that you also acted for the same reasons, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

I just saw this thread. It was so painful to read, as I have been in the same situation. I'm so sorry. Are you ok?

I'm so very sorry

I am very sorry. This must be such an awful shock.

She was very beautiful. I'm so sorry.

I'm so very sorry, Matt.

So much loss in such a short period of time. I'm so very sorry
