Cabo tested positive for erlichiosis on the 4DX quite a few years ago. We did a full month of doxy after that first positive. He never showed symptoms, I believe we caught it early as he just...

How old is he? I’d definitely see the vet. Chances are it is just an infected hair follicle, but they can get mast cell tumors down there. A couple years ago, I noticed a similar bump on Tux in...
Tux does well on Rimadyl, he's only been on it a few times for short courses related to something specific going on at the time. Once I tried to give him Previcoxx and after just a couple doses he...
Cabo tested positive for it years ago. He happened to be due for his yearly SNAP test shortly after I pulled a tick off him, so I don't think he was positive long enough to show symptoms prior to...
Tux is nine, he has one fatty tumor I found a few years ago that was super simple to aspirate, and came back fine. About a year and a half ago I noticed a small hard bump on his right ear flap. I...
My WPG puppy (Chi) is the first puppy I’ve had in nine years, since Tux. And Tux was an exceptionally easy puppy. With Chi, the sleeping through the night just took time. She was right at eight...
If he has prey drive and likes to use his nose, I would very much suggest looking into Barn Hunt. It's a very easy sport to train for if you are new to dog sports. In my opinion it's also easier...
Canine Dysautonomia? A couple summers ago my family lost two young dogs to this. It has a higher incidence in the midwest, and is something that a lot of vets are not familiar with and the ones...
I've trained Tux to find antler sheds. We had already been doing nosework and barn hunt for a couple years so he caught on quick. It is pretty easy to do IMO even if your dog has never done...
I'm so sorry for your loss. When you mentioned not wanting to go home b/c you know he's not there to greet you, that really struck me. I think that is how I will be when I lose Tux, who is my first...
Is Hunter a purebred lab, or a lab mix? My first thought was that if he is mixed with something maybe there is some sort of herding dog in his DNA. In which case, it is very normal for a herding...
Definitely this. It is pretty rare for us to have highs that are in the single digits or even teens where I live. So on days like that, we do just skip walks. But I know in Canada and other parts...
Tux eats pills like candy too. It is so weird. He gets a number of supplements in pill form, and I just pop them in his mouth and he chews and swallows.
Thanks so much, we have never won the contest before! I will brainstorm on a theme for next month, and hopefully get back to you tonight!
Tux was quite proud of himself every time he found that...
To me, "dog not being able to control its bowels" is moreso a dog who is frequently losing control of them and is aware and depressed that it is happening, unable to get up and having to lay in it...

Check it out! A local dog friend of mine wrote a children's book based on her dog (six year old dachshund). It is about when she adopted her and how she went from being in foster care to her...
Mine have been on spirulina for years. There are really a ton of different things out there to give to help support the immune system. I'm personally not a fan of goat's milk for an adult dog at a...
Petplan would definitely cover rehab and laser therapy if you do decide to go that route. I forgot to mention my friend did the laser therapy as well, along with the rehab for her dog. I think she...
Good call on going to an ortho vet. I did xrays on Tux a few years back and had a regular vet telling me he had severe HD and that I shouldn't be walking him for an hour at a time anymore. I asked...
I absolutely would not leave her overnight unless staff is also going to be there overnight to monitor her. I heard a horror story of someone who left their dog overnight after a spay, and the dog...
A lot of training facilities and facilities where dog sport competitions are held at around here, actually have signs up on the premises saying flexis are banned. Some of the premiums for different...
Tux would retrieve this deer leg every time we went hiking in the woods over the course of a couple months. He always found it. Finally I put it in the burn barrel.
...
For what it's worth Previcox gave Tux diarrhea too. He had two or three doses of it and then developed bad liquid poops, so we stopped. I wouldn't worry so much about giving an NSAID for a short...
Honestly for Nosework, after one private lesson you would probably be good to go to work on things on your own and then sign up for the more advanced class. You can easily order nosework kits with...
