[Drontal Issues]

Wink got the Drontal shot when she was still groggy from her spay. My others have had the Drontal with no problems.

[New To The Forum... Hello!]

Cat food always packs it on for Birdie! (Just Kidding not suggesting you purposely feed it, but it does work )

[Hobbes Is Doing Poorly - Advice Needed]

My only experience with Immodium was Birdie's overdose. I didn't realize that it was an opiate

 

I hope the course of treatment does the trick for poor Hobbes. Good luck Fiona

[Lilah (juggernaut Lady)]

That sweet adorable fuzzy girl will be missed. I am so sorry

[Back To Bad]

I am so sorry Alicia. Lilah was such loveable cute fuzzy girlie!

[Hulling Corns]

A trainer also told me about "memory pain" Where the pain may actually be gone, but the dog is not recognizing it. Happens when there is long term pain.

 

I hope Tom is feeling better by now:)

[Lily Needs Healing Prayers Please]

They are so pathetic when they are doped up aren't they? Here's hoping for some quick healing

[Soaking]

I use a couple of paper towels soaking wet. I put them in a baggy then put that on the foot. Therapaw goes on top of the baggie. This way you can keep it on for a few hours, not cause the dog too much stress and not cause yourself too much stress. The best part is there is little mess.. just a little dripping.

[Help! Snickers Is Screaming -- Is It Phantom Pain Or What?]

Poor Snickers... My heart goes out to you and to poor Snickers. I hope you can find relief soon

[Snickers Had Her First Chemo Today]

Here's hoping for lots of healthy years for you to enjoy with Snickers.

Poor Cody

[Constant Clearing Of Throat]

Jen Wink does this every spring... hacking and constant rubbing of her head and eyes. Seasonal allergies!

 

Birdie does it as well, but not to the degree Wink does.

[Jody And Kells]

Well it looks like Kells fell into a whole lot of happiness

[Sophie's Surgery Is Today]

Hoping she makes it through surgery smoothly and has an uneventful recovery

[Snickers Is At The Vet Awaiting Surgery]

... Home is the best place to heal! Snickers

[Snickers Is At The Vet Awaiting Surgery]

Yes Gail, the drugs can cause agitation.... Hoping Snickers had a more restful day today and for a restful night so she can come home.

[Bloody Hind Paw, Jumpy On Walks]

My dogs have all done something similar either running over the rocks in my back yard or scraping them coming through the doorway. No screams... I don't think they even knew they had scraped themselves. Clean them up and watch for infection.

 

PS ... cheap First aid item Buy some Sterile Saline solution (used for contact lens cleaning) Flush your wounds with that! I always have a big bottle on hand. Scrapes happen all the time around here.

[What Size Bite Not Collar To Buy?]

Gail I would go the T-shirt route as well. Snickers will be anxious enough without having to deal with the collar. Marilyn has one at the kennel you could borrow if you really needed it.

[Corn Is Located Deep Within The Pad]

If you have a Therapaw I have an easier soaking method.

 

Saturate a couple of folded papar towels in epsom salts water mixture. Put the saturated paper towels into a baggie and place in on your dogs foot, making sure the wet towels are on the corn area. Then cover with the Therapaw and let soak for 2 to 3 hours.

 

I usually find the most stubborn corn starting to separate after 2/3 hours of this soaking and the pad is so soft you can usually pull the corn right out!

 

[Snickers Is At The Vet Awaiting Surgery]

Good news Gail. I hope she has a very smooth recovery.

If you need anything let me know, I am driving through your town all the time.

[Dylan- My Baby Boy]

Oh Wendy I am so sorry.

Oh Joyce... hang in there! for Jester
