That is amazing! Keep up the good work, brave boy-o!

Like others have said, the fever alone was likely a symptom, not the problem. The first overt indication of my Sissy's liver and spleen cancer was unexplained fever. I kept her cooled with a fan and intermittant cold packs, but there's nothing I could've done to save her. I know. I tried.
I'm very sorry for your loss.

Wow! And yuck!
So was the "white stuff" like pus, or something else? (sorry, just perverse curiosity...)I hope this means you're nearing an end to Rita's foot woes.

Try soaking it with warm water and epsom salts. That might help ease the pain a little bit. Poor baby. I'm sorry you'll miss the picnic. I think you need to post a video of your rooing trick, it sounds adorable!

I've no experience with seed warts, but I can say it does not look like any corn I've ever seen. And I agree with everyone else-- that pic of her in daddy's lap is waaaay too cute!

Definitely a second opinion from a savvy vet. That's what I'd do too (and have done).

A veterinary radiologist. Not sure of your location, but usually they can be found at major Universities with a veterinary college. Most regular vets are happy to forward their xrays to universities.
Forgot to ask, but were the xrays digital, or traditional films? Digital xrays tend to be a LOT clearer and higher quality (quicker/easier to take too
). If they used films, a specialist may want to retake them digitally. -
Have a radiologist look at the xrays. Specialists often see and understand what regular vets miss.

I just can't believe it. Just can't. I'm so horribly sorry DeVon.
-
Oh my god. Devon, I am so so so sorry.
-
Still keeping you and poor Skittle in my thoughts every day.
-
Thank goodness for such great news!
-
Oh DeVon, I've been thinking of you nonstop. Please drive carefully.

I forgot to add my endorsement of acupuncture & chiro also, if you've not already tried them. These have helped Chancy, my 12 year old with her back and legs, in addition to meds & supplements.

Oh I truly feel for you. I don't know that I have any great advice, just know that many of us here have walked this path as well. It's always a painful decision.
Are you currently giving Ellie any joint-support supplements or pain meds or anti-inflammatories for her arthritis? Maybe at least we can help you think of ways to make her more comfortable...

I still say that your post-surgery corn photo looks exactly like Sissy's did after her corn surgery failed. I would still try the duct tape method before considering amputation. The thing is, you do have to be very patient and persistent wit that method. But it did work for me.
I hope your guy finds some relief soon.

I'm so so sorry. There is never enough time, is there? I wish I could say something to make you feel better... Just please know you're not alone. Treasure every minute you can with your sweet girlie. Spoil her rotten. I promise you won't regret that.
-
Wow! That looks like it's healing wonderfully!
: I didn't see this thread until today, and was very saddened by the "before" pics. Glad she's feeling better! -
I'll never forget your beautiful Susie either. I loved all of her stories. She was a lucky little girlie to have found you at last.

Lots of theories as to why they eat grass, but no firm conclusions. The upset tummy theory may be true in some cases, but not all. My Tipper grazes at every opportunity, just because. He doesn't get sick from it either, as some dogs do. I don't think it's harmful, as long as there are no lawn chemicals on the grass.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

What a horrible shock! I'm so so very sorry this happened. At the very least, and I know it's little consolation right now, he didn't suffer...
-
She is GORGEOUS!
Well worth the wait, no doubt. Happy to hear things are going very well so far. -
She's the blue-est blue brindle I've ever seen! Beautiful!

Tips On Teeth Brushing
in Health and Medical discussion
Posted
Starting gradually is key. That, and using poultry-flavored toothpaste.
For my pups, I started by just putting a bit of toothpaste on the brush and letting them lick it off. Over the course of a few days, I gradually start just brushing the easily reached teeth. Once they seem comfortable with that, over the next few days, I become increasingly thorough, until I'm getting all teeth scrubbed. By this time it's routine, and they all line up to get their teeth brushed.
They seem to like the sensation, and will sort of "air-chew" while I brush. 
As for the exact how, I have them stand up, and I straddle their backs, leaning over their heads. This allows me to easily hook the corner of their mouth with a finger and pull the lips back with one hand, while brushing with the other so I can reach all those tiny teeth waaaay in the back (you know, the ones that always seem to decay first
).
