Re: Blind Dog Reactive Barking on Walks

he is not confident in your ability to lead/ protect. poking him or correcting him will not help. he is likely a dog who listens to your every word due to his disability. when walking, speak very calmly and warn him ahead of time. teach him a phrase that comes naturally to you " he's ok" ....

his will bring tears to your eyes

did you see the blind and seizere-ridden dog video? he found a new friend in a scaredy-dog who had been shot . the latter seems to really enjoy guiding his new friend. and the blind, seizure-ridden dog is reported to be seizure free since the hook up.now they just need a home.

Re: Bladder Infection

sorry, don't really have any insight - but dogs being expressed are more prone to infection. why not just keep him on the antibiotic prophylactically? you should add aciphydus ( yogurt) to maintain the "good" bacterias.

Re: Deramaxx alternative?

Re: Sabrina has a nasty cut/scrape and we can't TOUCH her-he

I agree with citters. i would watch it from afar- there is an antibiotic eye med for cats you can get from any of the catalogs; (terramycin?) I would give it time to heal and if it looks like it is really not healing - i would get the eye cream and sneakily attempt to apply some. one applicationis b...

Re: Any experience with Cosequin?

The cats - I opened capsules and mixed it with inte...
