Chanting: *Swelling? What swelling? I'm Shanti, and I'm ready to rock and roll! Swelling? What swelling? I'm Shanti, and I'm ready to rock and roll!*

12 years +! That's a testament to your care and the love you shared with Bear.
My heart goes out to you now. May your loving memories of him give you some comfort now and in the future.

Maybe just a spring change kind of thing... ? Sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery!

Poor Sol! You'll be better soon, buddy.
Happy had a cut that went through the webbing between the toes from one of the other dogs' claws when he stepped on her in a tight space. Stuff happens. It healed without stitches, but I did keep it clean and keep her from doing too much for about a week to give it a head start.
Congrats on your new pup!

And she might have worms. Make sure you get the vet to do a stool check.
If you don't have a thermometer, you probably should get one. Very important to have in your medical supplies (we have one that's just for the dogs
). Everything else BlackandBrindle said, I agree. Maybe don't try to feed her anything at all for the day to let her digestive system concentrate on working out whatever's going on (but make sure she gets plenty of water), and start tomorrow with boiled rice. Do a search here for "bland diet" to find what others have used.
Keep an eye on her gums. If they start looking too pale, or too pink, that's not good. If you pinch up some loose skin on the back of her neck, and it doesn't pull back into shape quickly, that's a sign of dehydration, too.
Good Luck!

Hi and welcome from up north of you in Custer! Three of my four hounds came to me through PSGA, too. There's a haul coming this weekend, and we get to be a stopping off point for the 7 dogs going over the border to Canada!

Looked at your website yesterday. You might hear from us someday to do boarding.

I'm so sorry to hear that.
Bugg and family are very much in my thoughts and heart as they go through this together. -
Oh yeah! Don't we all have THOSE names for our dogs (and cats, ferrets, hampsters, guinea pigs, cacomistles .....)
Glad she's feeling better, whatever it was. Begone, whatever-it-was! Begone!
-
That's all pretty good news! Let us know how it plays out.

Yeay! Problem solved!!

Sending special hugs and visions of tasty food and grumbly tummy to Samwise the houndboy.

Reading all this ... I didn't know this stuff. What a lousy deal.
But, on the positive side ('cause that's what we're about, right??), with the drugs as balanced as possible (and whatever other alternative therapies might be helpful), the life they will have is one based on quality over quantity. Concentrated, distilled, dense, juicy, tasty, happy life.

Owey, poor gal!
Well, now they're gone, she'll heal up and you'll be amazed! She'll be her old self only better!

As I read and write this, I'm imagining that the moment has come. My heart is filled for you and your family. Beecher will pass knowing how you all love him, out of his body, and deeper into your heart.

Well, let's make that the chant du jour!
*Henry has had his last seizure, and doesn't even remember it! Henry has had his last seizure, and doesn't even remember it! Henry has had his last seizure, and doesn't even remember it!*

Custom chant for Shanti and Mia:
*Pain is passing out of your joints, and into your stuffies. Kill the stuffies, and the pain can't come back!* *Pain is passing out of your joints, and into your stuffies. Kill the stuffies, and the pain can't come back!* *Pain is passing out of your joints, and into your stuffies. Kill the stuffies, and the pain can't come back!*

Ack, Trish!
C'mon, Sammy boy. Get over it. Shake it off, boy! You're fine, so man up and eat your breakfast!!! -
Love to raise his CBC and appetite! Sounds like a good chant to me!
*Love will raise Alex's CBC and appetite! Love will raise Alex's CBC and appetite! Love will raise Alex's CBC and appetite! Love will raise Alex's CBC and appetite!*

Sad sad sad.
She joins a very large pack, who we can imagine chasing butterflies in the gentle sunshine without injury or fatigue....
-
Hugs! It will be better, soon. Nasty teeth gone, you'll soon be enjoying life again!

I believe that Sonny felt that he got to share in the love and lives of a few wonderful, loving families, and felt it as a good thing, to know and love so many caring people. I'm sure he knew you didn't "get rid of him" because you didn't love him, and felt all the love in his new family, too.
Huge hugs to all who loved and lost Sonny.

A talker, eh?
Well, that's always fun, isn't it? Congratulations, to all of you!

You might look into adding brewer's and/or nutritional yeast, as well. They LOVE nutritional yeast (so do I!)
