Re: Dogs: elderly poodle

Hi Isabel, The symptoms you describe are likely that of canine cognitive dysfunction which is common in geriatric dogs. It is basically canine Alzheimer's. It can't be cured, but sometimes the symptoms can be eased with a drug called Anipryl which is the brand name. The generic is Selegiline. It is ...

Re: Help Needed: Rudy's Mom/kitty w/seizures

Hi Barbara, I just saw the picture of your majestic Rudy in the gallery. Wow, what a handsome guy!!! I know you miss him terribly. I have a really soft spot for Dobbies after working at a training center for several summers when I was in high school. We had a lot of Rotties, Dobbies, and German Shep...

Re: Help Needed: Duck

Hi Cindy, I'm sorry to hear about the problem with you and your daughter's duck. When I was growing up, we had four pet ducks. My favorite was "Howard". I would hold him and he would put his beak in my hair and fall asleep !!! He was quite spoiled and loved to be held and petted. Anyway, w...

Re: Help Needed: Rudy's Mom/kitty w/seizures

Hi Barbara, I'm very sorry about your loss of Rudy. I know it's really tough. I am struggling to keep going without Cody, my beloved Australian Shepherd, who I lost on April 16th to brain cancer. I have lots of experience with seizures due to Cody's brain cancer. However, of course, Cody was a dog a...

Re: News: update on decision to bring dog home

Hi Anna, It didn't take long for me to receive Cody's harness. It is hard to catch the lady on the phone. It's not like someone is sitting at the phone waiting to take orders. I would try ordering on the internet. That's what I did after playing phone tag for a few days. I think the girl tries to sh...

Re: News: update on decision to bring dog home *LINK*

Hi Anna, It will probably take two people to do the ball exercise with Dylan, but you might could do it with just one person if you have to. I did the Swiss ball (physio-roll)exercises with Cody and I agree, it is hard on your back when they can't help you out too much. If you are trying to get Dyla...

Re: Dogs: possible stroke or tumor

Hi Margaret, Sorry to hear about your dog's troubles. Have any diagnostics been done at the vet other than bloodwork? Also, was the onset of the problems with the right side of the body sudden or gradual? My beloved Cody had a brain tumor and my Mom's dog which I took care of after she died had a st...

Re: Help Needed: Dog bed for falling over dog

Hi Donna, My beloved Aussie Cody had the same problem. He also would roll off his bed and not be able to get back on it. I tried two different things. Both of them worked. One is fairly cheap and one is not. The first was a baby bed rail. This is the cheaper option. I think it was about $20-30. I pu...

Hi Eric, Thanks so much for sending the picture of Rusty. He looks like a happy boy. I know it must be really tough without Toffee. She sounded like a real sweetheart. Sounds like she was a Daddy's girl just like my Cody was a Mamma's boy. For the the future, you are welcome to e-mail me at kfw73@ya...

Re: Dogs: PARALISED HIND LEGS TO TO DISC DAMAGE AND CONGENIT

Hey Naomi, I don't know if you read my post from yesterday, but as I said I don't think I would buy a rear wheel cart. I don't think it would work for her since she is weak in the front. If you are going to buy a cart, I would go with the quad cart which will support her fully and she won't have to ...

Dogs: NDR: To sweet Toffee's parents

Hi, I saw that you posted on down the board so I wanted to say hi and see how you are doing. I remember reading about your sweet Toffee's passing while I was in the hotel surfing the net for some kind of help for Cody when he was in the hospital in status epilepticus. I remember wishing I could do s...

Re: Dogs: Update: Doggy Incontinence, Zoe

Hey Cheryl, Thanks for the update. Glad to hear Zoe is sporting her diaper!!! :) I think you are right about the diaper giving some support and stability. I noticed that with Cody, too. He actually seemed to like his diapers, which is not the reaction I expected. It did seem to make him more comfort...
