I have inside and outside(tile porch floor) crib mattresses from thrift stores $15-20 each. They are waterresist . I find fitted velvet covers on ebay and make firm dogs beds on the cheap. It took a little while for the dogs to get used to the springs, but it was better than the hard floor!

Most vets have xrays on digital and can be sent anywhere, if needed I fostered a 3yo who had a previous break. He was taped and healed up well in couple months. I wanted the adopters to be aware of his injury just in case he was jumping out of their tall Tahoe.

Congrats, you will never be the same! ( While Flying Doors is at the vet) It appears the right rear leg had a red wrapping on it in his photo shot on Grey-data page. If the dog were to be mine, I would ask questions or have xrays if nothing noted at time of retirement. It would not stop my adoption, but could indicate activity level in the future.

He is almost himself again. He has peed all over the house, due to prednisone. The bluing on the belly is fading. He wants to play so bad with his sister, but I leash him to my belt to stop any rough housing and secret peeing. He will get blood work Thurs and maybe on the mends. Amazing to think that one week ago we were facing that HARD decision.

Thanks all for the well wishes. He is on the way home. farting up a cloud in the car and peeing a lot from prednazone. Blood counts today up to 30,000 Leg swelling has gone down, hoping from blood draws and IV's. xrays and sonograms all clear, Stopping at McD's for yougert

ultra sound of belly was done

He is going home 5pm today ,BUT nothing much certain with illness. blood platelets were supposed to be over 50,000 before release but as of thurs afternoon it was still at 1,000. my credit card was maxed at 5,000 so they kick me out. .

no changes in WBC is AM 3rd day of steroids ( 5-7 days normal for response.) . His rear right leg has swollen more . He took some boiled chicken. When returning to kennel a few fresh spots of blood were on the floor. Only holding on because of the spark in his eyes and vet said yesterday he has 85% chance recovery

yes platelets at 1,000 I so tired, I just put my coffee cup in the fridge

out of intensive and off IV, WBC is 1,000. on steroids and wanting counts to be over 50,000 before attempting to go home, maybe Fri Xrays and sonograms clear. only coming up with immune issue. Vet gives 85% recovery. ruled out TBD, recent vaccinations, environmental, poisoning. doing blood work again later today

green bag, proactive health. 2 choices small or large kibble.

7yo is in ER on IV very low WBC (for a grey) blotchy red spotting on belly and had red eyes. BP elevated Tested for TBD-neg can't figure out what's happening. Eating and doing same as the sister.

So sorry for your Harry. My good friend has Atascocita Dodd (same Mom & Dad) but 2006 litter has C and opted for left rear amp and just completed 3 rounds of Chemo and doing well.

If the rescue group had blood tests done at time of adoption in Jan 2014, you should be able to pickup heartworm meds from him IF no lapse in time. Our group sends out reminders to at least all foster homes and recent adoptions. Our group issues liquid Ivermectin for foster home to administer (very clear instruction on dosage) monthly.

I get the blood test 1 time a year and purchase with out a script from Petshed.com

I do home visits and find the fenced yards a big issue. Locking gates is very important,especially if they are not used daily. Meter readers, lawn service and others enter yards ,take equipment out and leave the gates swinging in the wind. If I have people over for dinner parties or holidays, I lock doors and put a large sign on the inside and outside that owner must be present if door opens. ( I have the key!) I have failed myself by leaving the gate loose when taking a ladder to the front yard. I looked across the street and saw my foster sitting on their porch licking their Jack O Lantern. Also loading/unloading in vehicles is a top priority . Side door is better to control access to the collar. Open a tailgate and of course it's off to the races.

Holy cow. 5ml bottle of prednesolone acetate ophthalmic suspension just went from $16 to $90

I almost think you are on to something. All the inbreeding ,when a dog is known to have credit to 10,000 kids! My springer lived a good life up to 17, my Dalmatian lived to 15 and my cat went to 26! I don't think my AKC show English Springer has a vial in a freezer somewhere . My sister ,who never owned a dog shakes her head and said what atracks you to that "hot house" breed. All I say is love and soul full eyes.

Not for a grey (yet) but my 8yo Standard Poodle has been spotting during a long sleep or bouncing off the sofa. She is on 1mg Stibesterol and in the test dosage period. She is 50 #.She went for 5 days and then she leaked, 3 or 4 days may be the number. She was checked for UTI twice, 1st test came back bacteria and white cells. after antibiotics she still spotted. Vet says older female who may had puppies can have bladder leaking. This was also the case with our 14yo female Dalmatian years ago. Dalmatian was taking PPA (phenylpropanal?) stuff that was in Sudafed!

Stormy ran through the house and caught his front toes in the binding of the area rug. The rug sliced through the web and I did not see a lot of blood. I sprayed antibiotic and let it go. 2 weeks passed and time for vaccines and checkup.Dr looked at toes and found a nice puss infection. He washed ,put something like a yellow salve and wrapped the foot. Antibiotics ordered It did take a couple weeks to heal, but no stitches

My experience with dogs parks . I did muzzle the aggressive guy but never returned after the first fight. I then bought insurance.

I use Adams, but wash my hands after rubbing it dogs.
