Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Yes she does have her own soffe cam lol. The honey is called manukora Manuka honey and we got it from our vet. The vet gave me tongue dispensers to use because it's really thick. I spread it on the cuts then put a non stick pad on it then wrapped it with white wrap that sticks to itself. The pads an...

Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Update on soffe. Her paws are completely healed. I'm still putting socks and a drag bag on her when she stays home alone. Plus I put up cameras in the livingroom and kitchen and closed all other doors so that I can keep an eye on her. She's doing real good. The gabapentin really works and with all t...

Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Yes it does. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't read about gabapentin on this forum. It actually saved my little girl soon when her paw heals completely we will start physical therapy. :ecstatic:

Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Update on soffe. Her foot is almost all healed. The gabapentin is working. The combination of socks with a nylon drag bag is doing the trick. I ended up sewing the drag bag shut so that the zipper cannot come undone. She doesn't mess with the bag at all. She sleeps in it and I havnt left her alone f...

Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Soffe is doing so good. Thank you for wondering how she's doing. Her one foot is all healed but still keeping it wrapped with a boot. Her knawed foot is healing nicely. Another minute she would have chewed her toe off. She doesn't leave my side. Meds are working so far. She hasn't even tried to mess...

Re: dog with IDD gnawing at back paralyzed legs

Yes the drag bag and socks keeps her safe when she's left at home during the day. She can't get to her paws at all. When we are home I take the drag bag off and she just has socks on. I take off socks when she's on my lap only so I can keep an eye on her. So far, the combination is working along wit...
