Iker is a smart boy and knows that kitty tootsie rolls are soft and easy to chew. It's a tradition in this household to hold a vanilla ice cream party when the afflicted one is cleared for action. Nothing like getting started on new plaque and cavities early.

Good girl, Pixie!

Sending a cyber hug.

Sending a gentle hug to Aquitane.

Adding more good thoughts for your boy.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I think someone did post a pic or video of poop bouncing once -- they were so proud of their hound's good poop!

Adding our good thoughts for your girl and you.

Glad she's enjoying her meals. All paws crossed for a good ultrasound.

Adding our good thoughts.

A medium fit my 90-lb. Baz's slender head. He didn't have pannus; I made him wear doggles in the car since he was an inveterate lean-out-the-window-er. Once the car started moving, he didn't mess with them. Best wishes to Heisman.

Sending hugs to Leah. How's her appetite?

Sending very gentle hugs to Mr. Sid.

How's our Sid doing today?

Sending hugs to everyone.

Sending best wishes to your Clever boy. And to Miss Millie, too.

The chow hounds here send good eating and healing thoughts to Mr. Rousty.

Sending our best wishes to your gorgeous, goofy boy. Go Team Tristan!

Sending much, much sympathy.

Sending hugs.

Just sending hugs.

Just sending hugs to you and your beautiful boy. Hope the pain meds make him feel better pronto.

Here's a link to a site with an almost overwhelming amount of kidney info, including lots of links to kidney diet research: http://www.dogaware.com/health/kidneymedical.html# As I recall, Batmom, whose opinion I respect, has posted that she is not impressed with the dogaware site. I have found it helpful as a starting point for my own research, but would welcome Batmom or anyone else pointing out con's to the site. My Scout had a form of kidney disease for almost three years. He managed pretty well with a low phosphorous diet until the last 3-4 months. I gave him azodyl those last few months, which brought his kidney measures down significantly. But remember that azodyl does not improve or maintain kidney function, it apparently just helps the body break down the toxic waste products better. The dogaware site does not have a high opinion of it, and I am not a complete believer, but I would give it again. I follow Diane Burpdog's diet advice for seniors, which is give them what they'll eat (that's not actively harmful).

Sending our bestest wishes for your Nube.

Adding our best wishes for Rogan. <<Mistakes happen but how you handle such is how you're judged>> Agreed.
