Re: Horse with arthritis in hock

I forwarded your info to some friends of mine, one is a recently retired equine practitioner the other a recently graduated vet....haven't heard back from either of them, nor my friend who has worked with various equine vets for over 20 years. I will put a bug in their ear to get a reasonable answer.

Re: Where does everyone express their incontinent animals?

I use the bath tub most frequently, although I have used puppy pads...and even just held them "over" the litter box. Some of them have then tried to bury, using their front feet, while I am supporting them. Using the litter box method I have gotten some cats to "try" to go on the...

Saddle Thrombus not the end for a cat

Re: Please help, what next --any more ideas for my 13 y/o lab?

I got showfoot from the doggon wheels people where I got Ivan's cart...is that the same as doggon.com?
By the way, none of my dogs have liked getting their feet sprayed with the stuff, even though it works. :roll:

We were able to keep Ivan going well and happy for another year...

He lived just fine for another 4 years and his passing wasn't at all related to his lack of spleen (he was 15 1/2 yea...
