If your pet wears a diaper, what do you do
during the day? My dog is now fully incontinent. I am blessed that someone is with her all day, but what do others do? Do your dogs wear diapers? How do they poop? Do they sit in the wet diapers all day? (I'm not passing judgement, I just want to plan for the future.) Mine has a UTI and pees ALOT. A...

Re: First time here, help i'm struggling
The vet said he is now in no pain, he eats & drinks well and has been quite perky apart from the panting and coughing the last couple of days. He even pushes up to a sitting position and crys when I take my other dogs out because he wants to come bless him It's such a hard decision. I would tak...

Re: Neuropathy
No. Hers is more of a degenerative nerve disease. Her nerves are disintegrating. It starts at the back legs and moves forward. It progresses, but the rate is unknown. I don't know if there is another name they call it.... polyneuropathy, axonial peripheral neuropathy...either way, I can't seem to fi...

Neuropathy
Anyone dealing with this? Dealt with this? Any good sites that you know of? Supplements and any type of rehab?
Axonal peripheral neuropathy--I've done a search here and I couldn't find much at all.
And how do you all stay so positive when all I want to do is cry????

Re: Canine Poly Neuropathy
I am bumping up this thread because I just found out this is what my baby has.
Anyone else? The progression? The treatment? The rehab? I know no one can answer the progression question, but I'd like to hear what others have found helpful.

Re: Help needed Rear Leg paralysis.
Oh, and this page is good too. It lists different companies and shows the type they offer.
Some you back your dog into, come you lift them into, some have belly bands, etc.

Good luck.
