It was more of an fyi - in regards to the fact that some insurance companies will not cover knees or ligaments of a dog with a pre-existing CCL, there are some companies that will deny assistance on...

sounds like your on top of it, wish you and her the best for a speedy,full recovery. dogs are tough!

Not sure about using a tranq with the other meds but if you can't keep her calm ask the vet about using one for a while. Moving to much in her kennel may be causing the swelling especially if she is...

If she is going to need a cone for a while, you might want to get a Bite-Not collar instead. That's what we used on Chloe when her leg was splinted for a month last winter and she found it much...

Good thoughts for a quick heal

I was given this for my old GSD dog mix. When her arthritis bothers her, which is not often... they said to give it to her. It does not seem to help much TBH and I dislike giving medicines that don't...

The tricky part is to keep them calm when the anesthesia wears off!

May all go well!

I wouldn't worry so much about her being on rymadol for a short time, especially if she already took a few doses with no ill effects. And the tramadol is definitely fine. As for your worry about...

I believe my post advised the OP to discuss the use of milk thistle with her vet. My dog recently had a neck injury and was on lots of meds. Tramadol, Methocarbamol and Prednisone. I asked my...

I have been raising and breeding Labs for over 45 years and only had one with liver issues in 2006 (because she lost her gallbladder). She has had her liver in normal range since 2009, is now 11...

Agree, if your vet will not listen to your concerns and discuss them, find a new vet. I would still do blood work immediately prior (the day or 2 before) to her surgery. This is important for any...

I was told by our vet to give him 4 tablespoons, which took 3 of us to give it to him - one to give and two to hold him :( and then wait 10 to 15 minutues and if he hadn't thrown up to give him 2...

Not sure where you are in Northern CA but I'm in San Jose and have an excellent vet that I can recommend if you're looking for a second opinion. So far we've only had to go for the regular puppy...

There are lots of things you can add but really nothing you should add for a growing puppy without other issues. You can cause harm by adding too much, like calcium, to the diet of a growing puppy. ...

Kibble is balanced so that it does contain every vitamin that they would need. If they do have issues such as joint, skin, etc, then you can look into adding things specific to that.

I will say...

General vitamins, not needed. Supplements if you have joint problems etc.

omega 3 and glucosamine

The only thing we add is a pro-biotic. Also coconut oil. Some like fish oils, but Lola just wasn't keen on it

None, if you have a good quality food they already add vitamins to it. So nothing else should be needed.

My Honey had a lump on her head from where she smacked into the back of our fence while she was chasing a squirrel....the squirrel was running along the top of the fence and jumped off into the...

If it is not painful for your dog or interfere with eating/drinking, then you could wait another week or so. Then go to a different vet for a second opinion. I've had a couple of bad wrecks falling...

Guys, this post is more than a month old and the OP hasn't been here since.

Yep, drinks more during the warmer months.

It depends on the weather, but it also depends on the diet. If the dog is fed kibble with 10% moisture it's natural that he will drink more water than...

She will be fine, that's a really small amount.

Having eaten four grapes she should be just fine - a very small number. Raisins are more dangerous than fresh grapes. Fingers crossed and don't worry :friendly_wink:
