I used a 2 courses of CMO from the Greyhound Gang's site and it made a world of difference for Maisy.

We have had a few dogs come through that have tested positive and my Maisy is also positive. The protocol is not to treat unless the dog exhibits symptoms. However, since one of the main symptoms is fatigue, how do you know? One of the dogs we had was 2 yrs old and just kind of "hung around." We went ahead and treated him and he became a happy, goofy, silly dog. Maisy was very stiff and just wasn't "right." I treated her and she back to her normal, goofy self again. I will say that the dogs we have tested for TBDs we have tested because they just weren't "right." It was just a feeling; the look in their eyes and their general attitude.

Kennelmom, my parent's Husky would do the same thing. He would get "stuck" behind the recliner and stand there panting hard and stressed. When it got to the point that he was scared when my parents guided him away, they made the decision to PTS. I think it was the right one.

There is also an Eastern Continental divide that runs through PA, WV, and VA (and other states, of course). On that divide, everything to the West flows to the Mississippi and everything to the East flows to the Ocean.

Our group uses Home Again and our coordinator has the following to say: "The fee to put the chip in the database initially is a one-time fee. This includes tracking of the chip number and who it is registered to forever. Their pet recovery services cost $15 annually. This includes contacting shelters and vets offices on your behalf if your dog gets lost." I told her what was in this post and she will call her rep back this afternoon...

Three of my dogs are registered with Avid chips and one has a Home Again chip. I know for a fact that the Home Again scanner reads the Avid chips.

Welcome

390 Have fun!

I used CMO & glucosamine from the Greyhound Gang for Maisy and the results were incredible. She's now running around like a puppy again and her joint swelling is pretty much a thing of the past.

Sorry I have nothing helpful to pass along. I know nothing about the disease, but we are thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.

I have four hounds and one has developed some arthritis and needs to be on some powdered supplements. We have a feeding plan that works for us in the mornings and the evenings, but given the way it works, sprinkling the supplements into one bowl of food will not work. I want to put the powder doses into something treat-like that I can make up a week or so in advance, put into a container, and then just give the dog the treat in the mornings and the evenings. This would also work in case someone else (one of the children) gives the dogs a meal; they can just make sure the hound get its special treat. Any thoughts on what I could use?

You're awfully lazy

Maisy and Lizzie have never had dentals. Chad and Bella each got one when they arrived because they each had an issue, no need for another since.

I don't know what else to say

We've been getting dogs in from some interesting sources and I'm trying to sort through their shot records to make sense of it all!! Do I have these right? 1 yr: DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainflueza, parvovirus) 1 yr: DH2PP (distemper, hepatitis-2, parainfluenza, parvovirus) 1 yr: DA2PP (distemper, adenovirus-2, parainfluenza, parvovirus) 1 yr: DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainflueza, parvovirus) 3 yr: DAP (distemper, adenovirus and parvovirus; sometimes called “DHP”)
