    Ha, sounds like it's worth a shot. I am still loving them. The only issue I've encountered is it can be tough to get Skye's biggest bottom molars because they're covered when her mouth is clamped closed. :D Violet doesn't have those teeth anymore so no worries there lol. I'm going to have to start working on teaching Skye to hold her mouth open just so I can get those 2 teeth. But honestly, they're a godsend. I still give treats every time, but generally I do their mouths in thirds and they get a treat after each. 

    Skye sounds just like Rebel.  By the time I pry his mouth open the toothpaste is on me and not on the brush. He’s lost all his chewing molars and has a couple of premolars that are questionable.  Hopefully daily brushing will be enough to save them. 

    Part Of Paw Pad Has Come Off

    This evening my dog has cut off a bit of his paw pad. He jumped into a lake and we suspect he cut it in a rock or glass. It is not hanging there like any of your dogs but the whole piece has actually come off. It doesn’t seem very serious but can this wait until the morning?

    This is a very old thread but if you see “spongy” pink new pad, give it time, it will toughen up on it’s own.  No vet visit required.

    Not a Hound- Torn ACL

    My neighbor’s lab was diagnosed with a torn ACL today.  He’s on heavy duty pain meds until his Mom schedules an appointment for surgery.  His Mom travels a lot with her daughter for softball tournaments so I help take of him when she is out of town.  What happens during the surgery and what  can I expect in terms of recovery other than leash walks only?  

    Thanks in advance.  

     

    Hooks And Low Protein Levels? What About Swollen Feet?

    There was a lot of miscommunication on all parts and being an hour away from primary vet care didnt help the situation. You cant pin everything on the group though. When he came back he wasnt up to date on vaccines and had no health records. Whatever information they had, I passed on to you.

    I fought to get him with you and to get him vet care. I took days off of work to transport him to make sure he was properly looked after at the vet and to make sure he came back to you. After all I did, to get a text out of blue saying hes going back to the kennel when I thought alternative arrangements were made. To find out that his health was even worse than before. You dont think Im not upset too? Im done.

    Hes going back to the groups kennel today. He and Jefferson dont work well together, and he needs vet attention that wont be given if he isnt physically there. If its an end of life situation, Ive been told they will let me have him back for hospice care. Jefferson will go hang out with Mary Pat frequently if that happens.

     

    Im royally pissed. I went into this expecting support that just hasnt been there, and Ive never had all the available information about the dog, despite asking multiple times. I was promised meds for him that never materialized and have been treated like an annoyance for trying to get the dog treatment. Just not ok.

    Cant argue with any of that. They dont normally foster and their inexperience really showed. This poor boy has potentially more serious medical problems than anyone expected which didnt help the situation.
