Glad you are heading to the vet. Hopefully they can help. Thunder is terrified of stairs now. He doesn't have any medical issues he just stopped going down them last year. He will go up and down...

oh just saw the update.....good news!! :)

Thunder had a leash in his stomach for 6 months before he finally threw it up. We never even knew he had swallowed it. He swallowed it when we were on vacation and he was being boarded....that is a...

Yes the doggie diapers are a great help during the cycle. Buy a few because it can be messy! My Skye bled lightly at first, and then it got heavier as the cycle progressed. She did have times when...

No I don't think you were rude. Better to be up front so they understand where you are coming from and that you are all on the same page.

Honesty is sometimes the best policy and if you trust...

Thunder would not use a ramp either. He was terrified. I tried everything to get him to use it. We started on the ground and he wouldn't even stand on it when it was flat! My trainer even tried...

I don't know if a beagle would be a good fit. They bark a lot! Our neighbors used to have a beagle, it never stopped barking. So I don't think it would be a good fit in an apartment.

Someone...

Maybe she actually injured her dew claw and not her leg and you didn't realize it?

My sister's lab has a nail condition. Not sure it is the same issue as you describe. His nails periodically...

Skye used to get this when she was a puppy. She did have a recessed vulva. We did not use antibiotics. We used to wipe her with the baby wipes after she would go. It helped her a lot. She also...

Our first lab Kellsie had a herniated disc. She jumped off our bed and slipped and fell. We did not do an MRI (due to the price) but our vet at the time did a very thorough exam and based on the...

The reason we originally switched to the Wellness single ingredient (grain free) turkey and sweet potato about 3 months ago, was the question about chicken and grains. I wasn't sure if he was not...

So Sundance what do you do to help your dogs?

Thunder is a little bit better, he has more energy but he is still having bouts of the retching where he attempts to throw up but nothing comes up. ...

I have the vet tech do it. Saves and office visit fee and saves me from doing it! I think they charge like $18.00 It really smells, not something I think many people want to do themselves. LOL!

This made me laugh!

My sister has two young kiddos her lab always gets into the crayons. Crayola brand is non-toxic just in case the kids eat them. Not sure about other non-Crayola brands. She...

I love Ellen too. She always makes me laugh. No experience with it and honestly I have tons of friends with animals and nobody uses it.

She sometimes gives it out to her audience members when...

I stopped giving all vaccines to my first lab Kellsie when she was ten. She had a life threatening reaction to the Lyme shot, so I only gave her rabies after that incident. She lived until 13 years...

I wish I could let Thunder out of his crate. :apologetic: He will be 7 next month and I don't see it ever happening. With his history of eating things and 2 obstruction surgeries under his belt, we...

My Thunder cannot run around a lot either. He gets really bad stomach pains and dry heaves after hard exercise. He can chase a ball for a bit and walk on the leash, but if he plays hard and runs...

I just had two checked on Thunder. One was a loose and soft lump next to his privates and he had a harder one on his side. The one on his side was not as easy to move. Both were fatty lumps but I...

She did explain it is used commonly in many dogs, but Thunder has been and probably always will be hypersensitive to meds. He is usually given half the dose of whatever medication he happens to need...

OK thanks for thoughts.....I did some research and couldn't find too much information on it. Yes I may seek a second opinion. I wasn't fully comfortable with this specialist....she didn't want much...

I started another thread about low fat food for my dog Thunder, but I am also questioning a medication that the internal specialist we saw at Tufts put Thunder on. A few weeks ago he started dry...

They didn't definitely think it was pancreatitis. His pancreas looked fine on the ultrasound and blood work was fine too, therefore she couldn't say for sure. She was just leaning on cautious side...

Thanks for the suggestions. I just couldn't do the prescription, I don't like the ingredients, it is full of fillers. Thunder was on script food after his first obstruction surgery and he wouldn't...

Yes my Skye was very whiney after her spay as well. Kept looking at me with the big, sad eyes and whining constantly. Broke my heart. She was fine the next day. Hope Daisy is feeling better!
