I saw this,and thought Wow!I ordered one for my senior dog,Quint.It looks like it will be a great help as he is having some issues getting up and walking now.He will be 16 in March and although we will go to the vet later this week,I feel it best to get this.I wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!

I'm so very sorry for your loss.Hope you are doing alright.

I too,have a handicapped dog that walks like he is drunk.Perhaps your dog has a mld form of cerebullar hypoplasia,as my Bandit does? He seems kind of autistic at times.Doesn't react to me,but then-it's like he suddenly realises I am there and interacts with me.He is always happy and doesn't seem to ...

I hope the "no-squat"box works.Hi,I'm sandyc.My kitty Tricks recently passed.Had to let her go to the bridge as she had a BAD stroke.She was 26 years old! I know of this problem,so I understand your pain.LOL! Tricks would do the exact same thing!She would go in,but her butt would hang out,...

Well,Tricks certainly was an inspiration to me.I thank you all.

I cried quite abit.Just missing her. Thought OKAY,Tricks wouldn't want you to do this.Get to work!(Gotta pay for the after hours vet and the cremation,after all)<so I think I'm doing okay.Sad,but I can handle it. I work at our local walmart supercenter by the way-walking down past pets and what?! A ...

She was her usual self yesterday morning.Last night-I got home and she had pottied on herself and just lay in it.Got her all cleaned up and she ate her food and Nutri-Cal as usual. Spent alot of time brushing and talking to her.She hated the bath,but like the drying part of being wrapped in a towel....

I dread the day I lose her also.I just keep trying,the way she does! One day,sort of one moment at a time.Everyday with her is a GIFT.I do realize that. Been telling myself,she can't keep going,but she does.So far,so good. She's been such a big part of my life,for so long.It is really kinda scary to...

We are both STILL hanging in there.Poor baby,she somtimes forgets to go all the way,into the catbox.I actually saw her doing this.Finally.Sometimes,if I'm quick enough I can gently push her other leg into the catbox.She always potties facing the back of the box.That's why her table can be peed on.Sh...

We really like the pine kitty litter!It can't really stick to her,so cleaning up is easier.I still hope to bathe her.We'll see how that goes.Thanks for the info about the kitty litter!!!!!
sandyc and kids

Well,he gets one tablet a day now,and so far,so good!He's moving much better now.No-one can tell his age,that's for sure. He is pretty spry for an older fella.Thanks.I was and still kinda worry about possible side effects,but we will face those IF they happen. Couple of accidents,but that is a given...

My 14 year old mix,Quint seemed uncomfortable.Not so much in pain,as walking "weird",like it was difficult.He had a limp for awhile,that seems gone.Massage helps I think.
Will prednisone really help?
Also,won't he have to urinate more?????Because of the medicine????
Thanks!

Can't find the yesterday's news stuff,got the pine.That's all walmart had,so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks for the advice.I just hope to keep Tricks happy and healthy as long as possible.CLEAN would be nice,too!

Thanks!Never checked out Yesterday's News cat litter.I believe I'll get some and try it.
I will try giving her a bath.Gotta do something to get the yuckies off her.Appreciate the advice!

Is STILL here!I am constantly amazed.Still thinking she is around 26 years old.Got a dilemma.Should I bathe her?She may not particularly enjoy it,but the kitty litter sticks to her fur.I'm having alot of trouble keeoping her rear end clean.Will no doubt have to get my brother's help again,to shave h...
