Re: Looking for Medical Treatment Experience for IVDD in Beagles (or other breeds)
OK, here are 2 articles that may help. The second one is easier to read on mobile devices, hard to read on a desktop. Excuse the long post but I will make some comments below. https://toegrips.com/ivdd-surgery/ https://dodgerslist.com/2020/02/10/surgery-vs-conservative The decision regarding conserv...

Re: Looking for Medical Treatment Experience for IVDD in Beagles (or other breeds)
Hi Tobythebeagle727,
Can you clarify, are they thinking he might have IVDD in his neck, where he had pain in February? I have a dog who had neck surgery and can make further comments from experience, but I want to be sure I understand.

Re: New here, are there good signs for IVDD recovery?
Hi CC4PHOEBE, :group: You didn't say, but I am assuming your Yorkie had surgery on her back and not on her neck? I would talk to the surgeon about the bed. I am not a vet, but my understanding was that after surgery, there is a period of crate rest prescribed by the surgeon, but it is not forever. Y...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
With all the hoopla, I kept forgetting to post something. When we were in the hotel, I was walking past the front desk and the receptionist stopped me and handed me a styrofoam take-out box. She said a man who had been with us in the elevator left it for the puppy. When I got up to the room and open...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
:thankyou: Glad we both are OK. Falling with him, with his neck like it is, it's a mercy he's OK. He got a good jolt being in my arms when I hit the ramp even though he wasn't dropped. I always worry after remembering how Wheely Willy's mom fell on the icy steps carrying him and they were both injur...

Pip - world traveller
Pip and I went to Missouri and back this week. He did really well. He's a good traveller. Slept in the car, mostly didn't bark too much in the hotel room. Then when we returned and I was unlocking the front door, I had a TIA (mini-stroke) on the front porch. I held onto the screen door to keep from ...

Re: Hemivertebrae
Boy, I don't know. It's confusing that she runs like the wind but falls over a lot, and seems not to be in pain when running so fast. I tend to lean toward better safe than sorry on crating, but it's a judgment call, you know her best. It wouldn't hurt to get the vet's opinion on that. When I checke...

Re: Hemivertebrae
Hi Lotte1111, :violet: What kind of dog is she if you don't mind saying? Boston terrier , Westie , Yorkie, another breed? I am not one of the people who has had a hemivertebrae dog, but some of what you describe sounds like my dog, Pip. I can see why you suspect hemivertebrae if her tail is curled w...

Re: Interesting drag...sock?
I wondered the same thing. Best guess would be, for a right-handed person, someone puts their right arm through the legging all the way so their hand comes out the other end. Then with that right hand they take hold of the kitty around the waist or tummy maybe? And with the other free hand (left han...

Interesting drag...sock?
Not sure what this is. She's a small cat, not a kitten, so it might be too big to be a sock, but if it isn't a sock, what is it? They're using it as a purrmaid sack. Found on Petfinder . dl5zpyw5k3jeb.cloudfront.jpg Using Google image search, I see something called footless tights that is similar. 2...

Re: Another broken back brown tabby at the vet
That is so cool, that he's in the big bathtub and actually plays with toys! I love the last two pictures, especially the last one. He's Mama's boy for sure. Glad he's home!

Re: Another broken back brown tabby at the vet
Ohhh.
I hope so, too. Medicine has advanced since then. I know you'll do everything possible, and I hope this time it works.

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
I've been wanting to get something in his vet record and possibly make a sign over his playpen to tell people what to look for. I'm worried if anything happens to me, nobody will know that he overheats, or what his panting looks like. I've never known a dog like this before, that pants like a goldf...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
Pip overheated today. Very badly. It was 70 degrees out! Yes, he's black, and yes, he was in the sun, but it was 70 degrees! It took him a long time to get back to normal with cooling him off and giving him as much soy milk as he could drink. I couldn't believe it. He wasn't out there that long. I w...
