IMO, let her be a dog while she still can. Take her for walks as long as she can handle it, let her play, let her enjoy life.
Life's too short to prevent her from living.
When Jack was diagnosed I was at first terrified about a break. In the end I decided I would let him do activities as tolerated within reason. His osteo was a rear leg which allowed him to protect it more easily than a front leg. But we walked as usual for many months. And then they gradually shortened until the last three weeks I would put on his collare and leash and take him to the front yard and let him walk around because yes he was so excited to go. Although a couple of those days he more or less pulled me down the street to his little park. I tried to limit his running but he did run a little. He went upstairs to bed every night until the last two nights. I let his level of tolerance dictate what we did over his 6 months post diagnosis. Just be vigilant and realize there is some risk involved but that there has to be some point to their being alive.

Robin Jack panted a lot all his life. I was always afraid I would never know the difference if he was in pain. I did because there was a slight pulling back of the lips with pain panting. Otherwise he was a panting machine

Free at last!

Give your little stoner a hug and kiss for us. She'll feel better tomorrow. So will you

Poor girl. I hope it's dealt with and on it's way to healing now. Dislocations always look so much more dramatically painful than they are.

What a relief! But this is going to be Joshy in a few years I just know it.

I hope her titres are way low Mary Jo.

I'm so sorry.
for you and kisses for your sweet Brooke. -
I'm glad Flashy has gained back weight so that worry is gone Patti. As Judy said your plate is more than full. Hugs to everyone in your family!

My vet came to my house too. And it was a two step procedure with the sedative first. It was gentle. There was no rush and the bill came in the mail later. All of it was prearraranged. That made it all so much much less awful at the time. I'm sorry it's something you need to expore.

My junior brat is so very glad your senior brat is home and things are looking so much better. Loca is her hero and role model God help me!

for when he feels better!

What a journey Robin. What lucky boy he is to have the family he does. I'm so glad to see that Beau face back.

What good news!!!
-
She loved you and you loved her with a very powerful love. The legacy of that love should never be guilt. Let that go now and smile at the wonderful memories of your sweet girl. You both deserve that.

I'm so sorry Claudia. I know how much it hurts and how hard you fought for her. She makes a beautiful angel. And there will be so many of our babies to welcome her and keep her company till we all meet again.
Nite nite sweet girl. -
Aww Amber I hope Soul is just keeping you on your toes and is okay this time around. I wouldn't even think to offer advice since I don't know anything about IBD. But do give him hugs for me.
-
Oh Claudia my heart is breaking for you. You and Misty will be in my heart tomorrow and you know she will have so many friends to meet her. Jack will be waiting!

I'm so sorry this monster disease has hit your home. The time is very individual. You need to carefully evaluate pain. Is she able to settle, sleep, is she anxious, panting, nose dripping or crying out. Is she content, eating well and happy for now.
You need to be generous with the pain meds and stay ahead of the pain. When the pain meds cannot do their job or the dog is just struggling with activities of daily living, then the time has come. My Jack had 6 months but he was able to walk on his leg for almost all of that time. Some have a week. For however long you have with your baby, spoil her and make each day last a lifetime.
-
I'm so sorry. I know that stunned sick feeling feeling. Jack's was in his femur too. As was said, be generous with pain meds and enjoy every single day.

Poor girl. Heal quickly sweetie.

Thank God!

Oh Susan I can't think of any words to say except that we're all going to miss sweet Alan more than you can imagine. I'm so very sorry for your poor broken heart.
for you and kisses for your sweet Brooke.
