Re: We lost our fight

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss but it seems to be that nobody could have done more to save the dog. My dog had a central brain lesion. I found her unconscious in a pool of vomit and rushed her to the vet. He thought that she had been poisoned and treated her for this. When she came round she s...

Re: Diabetic Neuropathy

Her back legs went first, but they weren't fused into a straight position like you describe. She began by not sitting for a few months then her legs gave out. She ...

Re: prednisone

Thanks Diana and Critters, I am measuring her insulin three times a day with the little strips that you dip in urine because I couldn't manage with the blood test kit. She has no ears so I couldn't take blood from her ears. She is a street dog I rescued in Brazil and the vet thinks somebody cut her ...
