Re: My $'s worth

Lately I seemed to have missed much of the drama and reasons for bans because I really got so sick and tired of the same old rhetoric and didn't even bother to come to the site daily as I have always done. And I am really sad that it has come to this ...members inciting other members and things sai...

Re: How to stop bleeding

Hi, When Kodi's Pemphigus Foliacious was 1st diagnosed and we began treatment, she proceeded to cut her healing nose on a bush branch. The bleeding wouldn't stop. I rushed her to the vet and they applied a Styptic Pencil to it and it stopped. I now keep one on hand (for nail tears and tissue cuts) t...

Re: DM (for Jacqui)

Hi
I can't find a thread where a chow (Jacqui's?) has DM, but I have lots of experience with it (my Bridge Girl Shadie ; akita/GSD had it, onset @ 14 Y/O). Let me know if I can assist with any information for care, etc.

Re: A Day of Apprenticeship w/ Miss Pooh Bear

LEO's mum here..... I was so worried that LEO would be "unfriendly" to Miss PB and Tigger. She is a "insecure bully". Normally it's a very binary "avoid or attack". Or she would freeze and stare when she sees other dogs on walks. But as we had a chance to walk together...

Re: Just curious

Kodi's the same way, hardly ever barks. Her typical bark is to "say HEY!" when she wants in from outside, then it's just one large bark. Kodi is also very receptive to people, figures they all want to see her and love on her though when they do approach, she's NOT overly demonstrative.

Hi Linda, So sorry to hear Fozzie's seeming confused. Please google canine cognitive dysfunction, CDS dogs, canine alzheimers, etc. My Shadie (bridge girl) had CDS @ about 14 years old, we had her on Anipryl.

Our Bridge Girl Shadie (GSD/Akita) was 'overflow incontinent" for about 2 years when she was about 8-9 years old. It was aided by a med (no longer on the market; I forget the name). We dealt with it just fine.... She was bowel/bladder incontinent at age 14 til her passing @ 15.5 y/o.... We deal...
