[Grain Free Kibble]

I am feeding my guys Nature's Domain. I have noticed that Plummer looks like he is losing weight.

I am going to subliment his kibble with something fattening. He is almost 13, in good health though.

Has anyone experienced lose of weight on grain free?

Cancer SUCKS! your Sabrina was special and is pain free now, so sorry for your loss.

[Tess, The Contessa Of Pocono Park]

Another angel, so sorry, fun free Tess.

[Not Feeling Well]

Feel better!

[Any Need Any Deramaxx?]

If there are no takers I can use the 'demerexx, I use it when Plummer is having a bad day with his toe infections.

[Coughing/wretching]

Every once in a while my Lou does this hacking/coughing but acts normal and eats normally.

I know he eats grass and I am thinking that's the culprit.

[Thunder And Lightening,"oh,no!"]

Last night we had bad storms. Plummer was pacing and distressed.

I gave him Rescue Remedy and thankfully he laid down and weathered the storm.

[Still Unsocial With Other Dogs]

He might have leash reactivity (do a search under Training and Behavior). Some dogs show unruly behavior to other dogs while on leash.

I have this with Lou who reacts to some dogs while walking.

 

I would suggest some training classes, a harness vs. collar, and most of all training for

you, so you can react favorably.

 

Good luck and keep us posted.

[Update On Our Girl, Destiny]

Very sorry for your loss.

[Incontinence]

Are there any other symptoms?

 

Incontinence while sleeping can be one of the signs of Cushings.

[Needy Hound]

Give him a job to do- go lay down, get your toy, take him for a walk- change the scenery.

Since I have been home, my two can stick to me also. Good luck.

[Shelby Has Been At The Vets For Over A Day Now]

You are going through some hard times. Good thoughts to you and Shelby coming right at you! Stay strong and keep us posted.

[Legs Limping/crying]

Something is diffidently going on besides heat. It almost looks like he pulled something.

Insist on x-rays, go back to the vet and hopefully she will not charge you another office visit. I would tell her know your dog, this is all new and more investigation please. Also, get the name of a chiropractor. Good luck.

[Really Scared For Magic]

Hopefully, it is a neck pull, especially when you say he cannot shake. Lou has this every couple of months, I have predisone in the house along with a muscle relaxer.

Keep us posted.

[Legs Limping/crying]

Start with x-ray, if trapped nerve- chiropractor treatment- My Lou has been treated for years for this. Good luck.

[I Know These Dogs Overheat Quickly, But...]

My two are experiencing the same- we are in Rockaway, NJ and you would think we are in Arizona- Pant, Pant, Pant-

[Nail Bed Infections]

My Plummer has infected nail beds and it is ongoing and challenging. I was biopsied and SLO had to be ruled out as the tissue was to small to be conclusive.

So 5 years later, I am determined to control this.

So for now, I use to use Epson salt but have switched to Selsun Blue shampoo, recommended by my Vet. Also a antifungel topical and he was on Doxcycline but it is not working.

He has been on antibiotics for years with no success.

I am going to call vet tomorrow and try Cephalexin .

I also am using a topical silver sulfadiazine cream by prescription which has seemed to help dry up the area.

Baby socks are a staple in this house along with masking tape.

 

This nail bed infection is a job. But Plummer seems less stressed and doesn't lick his paws anymore. He has it on 2 paws.

 

Good luck and hope your pupper gets some relief. Keep this post going and we can bounce off some ideas.

[Opie Is At The Bridge]

Oh Macdaddy, it is always so hard but we know this when we sign up having pets.

Opie thanks you for all your love you showed him.

 

Take care

 

regards, Joan and Lou

So is it safe?

[Kirkland Flea And Tick Form Costco?]

Thanks so much for bringing this subject up. I to was wondering if this product was safe/effective.

[Limping/wobbly Walking?]

Monitor him, could be a neck problem, I have put a heating pad on mine of course use caution and don't leave him alone with pad.

If he still cries out in pain off to the vet

Keep us posted.

[Need Immediate Advice]

When you went home, did you give him a snack? It sounds like he might be hungry at 4:00 and that's way he's crying??

If you can get someone to check on him, take him out and give him a snack during the work day he will be fine.

[A Horrible, Horrible Morning]

OMG, I feel so sorry for you both- wishing you to be strong and run free Maggie, you were very loved

[Need Immediate Advice]

I also question whether she has to be crated- leave crate door open, close all bedroom doors, try it when you leave the house for 20 minutes or so.

Don't feel panic, we all have been through it, both of you just have to come up with a system.

You can also try gating in an area, maybe kitchen? Your new strategies should be tried when you have time at home,leave for 20 minutes and see what happens.

 

Is there someone who can check in on your pupper while you are at work? Let him out, give him a goody?

Good luck, it will work out and don't feel guilty, he has a home and is loved.

[Kirkland Kibble]

Mine doesn't sell that.
