  1. So glad Skittle is on the mend - won't she be a happy girl to be home !
  2. Just reading this now - poor Beau! Sending many prayers.
  3. It's time to rest now Skittle, and let sleep heal. Tomorrow is another day.
  4. The clinic sounds wonderful. Hope you won't have to wait too long for news. Meantime, hope you can get some rest so that headache goes away.
  5. Although also not without risk, my understanding is that Metacam is safer if you want to use a pharmaceutical product. Others with more experience will be able to provide information on supplements. My Rickie was on Metacam for awhile after joint fusion surgery and still, very occasionally, for a few days if he overdoes something and limps. As a preventative I give him Cosequin which has recently been superseded by Flexadin - both are made by Nutramax Labs and my understanding is that there is a fair bit of clinical research behind the products. Not cheap though.
  6. Poor Skittles and poor you. Hopefully with around-the-clock veterinary attention Skittles will improve. Sending prayers and hugs.
  7. Sending prayers Snickers will do well with this therapy and that you will have lots of time to enjoy together.
  8. Watching for an update and praying for good news.
  9. My old foxhound had MG. The biggest symptom in his case was spitting up - started with water and gradually became everything. He was also very slowed down on walks, but not to the point of lying down as happens with some. Do have the test done - it takes some time for the results to return but it is definitive and will allow proper treatment. This is not to exclude other suggestions including testing for TBDs - if it were my dog I would do both in order to get my dog on the proper treatment asap. Good luck, please keep us posted.
  10. Tavi, you wicked evil hound A now bridge boy mutt of mine once ate two pounds of granola while we were out. We all repented at leisure, but no great ill came of it. If Tavi's one to let you know when he needs to go out, keep him close by tonight.
  11. I am so sorry - you and Hershey had such a wonderful and close relationship and the memories will be with you always.
  12. Poor girl - hope she's feeling better today!
  13. Poor Fruitbat! I hope she feels better soon, will watch for updates after the vet appointment
  14. I am sorry for the loss of your sweet little bird.
  15. Hoping she comes through the surgery easily and does not mess with that wound from now on!!
  16. Wonderful news - as a matter of interest, what was it?
  17. Poor little Bear - hope the fluids help and he feels better soon
  18. I am so sorry for Remy's family and for you. Run free Remy.
  19. Well done Sprite - getting the stitches out is a big milestone. Hope you get some ice cream or other yummy treat to celebrate!
