Re: I am so proud of Bear!

Thanks! He did turn out to be such a good boy! He had his moments as a youngster but he really became an awesome boy after we made it through that awkward teenage stage! :wink:

I am so proud of Bear!

I just had to let everyone know how proud I am of him! I was taking him outside to go pee and wouldn't you know a stray cat was not far from our back door. Bear started to chase but as soon as I yelled his name he came to a halt. He stopped so abruptly his front half was on the ground and his back h...

Re: Can't take off leash

Bear does really well off lead in familiar areas. I would not chance it in an unfamiliar area though. I only had one incident of him running off and that was my fault. Thank goodness he came back when I called because we have mountain land all around us! :shock: If he wakes me up in the middle of th...

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

LOL....His problem is where his neck meets his shoulders so it is kind of a side greet now. He will also rub up against me which reminds me very much like a cat would. I am sure if his disc problem was lower down on the back he would be greeting me with his butt! :lol: He is doing much better and I ...

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

Thank you for your concern but wouldn't there be other symptoms like disorientation, confusion, possible paralysis or seizures for a brain tumor? He has been perfect since this time with his new supplements I have started and his back is definitely less tight.

She is very pretty and you are right. It does seem like she was sent from God finding her in front of a church. She looks like such a sweetheart too!!!

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

That is so funny that Butters greets you with his butt now!!! :D Bear had his first massage tonight and he loved it!! He is doing better though on the medicine now. He can stretch out now on his side without screaming.
Thanks for everyone's good thoughts and advice!!!

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

That is a great idea! I thought he felt awful tight when I was trying to feel around to see what might be hurting him. I know the muscles do clamp down and tighten to try to protect the injured area. I don't know of anyone personally but I am sure I can learn the proper technique!!! :wink: Bear does...

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

I just got back with him and his xrays looked great skeletal wise. No arthritis, no deformities at all but the vet does believe he is having nerve impingement. The xrays wouldn't show that but he believes he might have a bulging disc that gets aggravated at times. He wants me to give him Deramaxx fo...

Re: Bear isn't feeling well

They kept him to do xrays and I should be able to pick him up tonight. I won't know how the xrays are until I go back to get him. But the vet was thinking something with his spine was injured, whether it is a pinched nerve or something more. I know the xrays won't show problems with the nerves but I...

Bear isn't feeling well

Wish us luck today that it is nothing serious for Bear. He again has that thing where he is having pain, can walk ahead but usually goes more in a circle, tilting his head to the side and is in obvious pain. I am taking him to a new vet today. It is a vet that I had found that did extremely well wit...

Re: walking for long time but still no poop!What can I do??

Bless you for taking in this poor boy and giving him a better life!!! I am sure it is the adjustment period until he feels more comfortable. Also, I was wondering if he was even house trained before you got him since you said the previous owners had him chained up??? If that is the case it might tak...

Bear & his brother enjoying a sunny day

It has been raining alot here lately so I thought I would share some pictures of Bear enjoying a sunny day for once. I also had to share some of his brother and how he enjoyed the same day. It shows how different they are! LOL :D http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo306/adorson/113-1.jpg http://i386...

Re: Chow Games

Bear does this also but it is me he will run to, body slam and then run away again doing this over and over. I also have an English Bulldog and he will only chase a toy if I throw it (Only when he feels like it :roll: )
