Doesn't sound like you have a diagnosis yet. Most Labs with ruptured cruciate ligament will obviously favor the affected leg over the other rear leg. They typically abduct the knee joint (shift it...
Important note: Thor eats a 5 am and 5 pm on the nose. Rarely off schedule. Whoever is home with him at meal time feeds him, and if both of us are around we confirm with one another before feeding...
"Did you see the throw up on the rug?"
When my husband called from work to say good morning, this is how he opened the convo. He gets up before I did and he saw it because it was right near the...
The rehab for knee surgery is LONG. I wouldn’t do it on a dog that age as by the time he is fully recovered something else will most likely have gone wrong. Maybe look into a knee brace?
Plus,...
Yeah...it must really depend on the dog. Danny and Sunnie both had slab fractures (Sunnie lost a tooth but Dan's were reparable...Dan also had enamel chips or...I forget what it was called...about 6...
All bones are fine except from weight-bearing bones of large animals.
Cooked bones splinter.
If the dog doesn't have digestion issues I don't see why he wouldn't eat them, even as a senior. My...
Raw bones are great for dogs at any age. They need to be large enough that they cannot be swallowed or fractured. Beef knuckles are a good example. Recent research indicated that they not only...
I think the main issue with that treat dinner is related more to the fat and sodium content. If his cough had anything to do with congestive heart failure, which you said it doesn't, the high sodium...
What?!!? When I read he ate Red Robin, I was like no there must be some dog food named that.... Cripe, the pup was probably felt nausea from all the fast food, probably why he wasn't interested in...
The reverse sneeze! I still remember the first time Remy did that, I had no idea what the heck was happening. Glad things are looking good!
Just know, Bordatella is ONE bacteria that can cause KC. There are tons of others that produce the same symptoms. As there are many viruses that also produce the same symptoms. Dogs can still get...
Our collie Ruthie needed a ramp to get in and out of the house (my husband still had to lift her into the car).....he built one out of wood, it was much wider and gradual than a manufactured ramp and...
The answer might help somebody else, what answer did you get?
Hey guys! I am the originator of that other thread "She Refuses To Use the Ramp" And guess what-she still refuses to use the ramp LOL. I am only 4'11" and there just is no way I can continue to lift...
I just had a "lightbulb" moment.
Do you brush his teeth or give him any kind of dental product with stuff in it like enzymes or chlorhexidine? These things irritate my pups' throats...Dan more...
My friends lab has a cough and it was just diagnosed as congestive heart failure. He is on meds and feeling better now. Good luck.
For some unknown reason to me, if I place my hand on Remy's collar (I am just resting my hand no pulling or pressure) he will then do it. I don't know maybe it makes him feel secure?
A thought. Do any folks who do agility have an idea? My thinking is, maybe training for going across a board (very narrow walkway) could be adapted to training for going across a ramp.
So, yay! It is a rare sarcoma that is high level but the histiocystic possibility is off the table. That crap is a nightmare.
We home seniors and have been using a ramp for years. Each one was not the happy camper using it. Worked with treats and one of us on each side. You can do the same on the ground. When in...
There is a new anti inflammatory out there called Galliprant. It's supposed to have less side effects than Rimadyl & Novox. I haven't used it yet as I have been able to manage Shasta's pain with...
Just a side note, LP doesn't have to be the worst case. Hudler had the old man hacking for years, and when the rear legs started wasting away, we were SURE it was LP. If you notice his muscles...
Coughing can be a symptom of many things. Oban has roundworms, coughing can be a symptom, Oban never coughed. A faecal float would determine this and you likely have one done once a year anyway at...
Oh, yeah...both of mine do it in the grass, too.
