Re: Hydrotherapy Help??
I wish we were, but we're in Texas I'm afraid, but thanks for the offer. :) I'm encouraged by the fact that your dog was accepted for PT even though she wasn't walking yet (though its only been 7 weeks, right?). I'm going to ask again at the clinic here, and if they still seem to hesitate I'll try y...

Re: Hydrotherapy Help??
Ohmygosh! Please excuse this disjointed follow-up, but I need help on the same thing (chihuahua 16 weeks post-back surgery). Mine also is not showing any definite signs of walking, and we're already at 4 months. The hospital where she had her surgery provides therapy, but I don't know if they will d...

Happy for You
Hi Wayland, It is so good to hear the news that your puppy is recovering so well. I read something on another message board that applies to the situation you are in now, which seemed like good advice. Go to the link below and click on Message Board, then scroll down to a thread of 3 messages startin...

Re: 4 year old chocolate lab Murphy Brown
Why not give diapers a try? They have some really cute ones that are a definite fashion statement. Since she is mobile, changing her should be a snap! There are a number of sites offering diapers. Below is a link to one style I think is especially cute. When you open the page, use the search box and...

Comfortable Grooming for an Underweight Cat
One of the most pleasurable things for a cat is grooming, and when a cat is overly thin it is hard to do because if you use a comb or cat brush, it is hard to avoid snagging the sharp angles even if you are really careful. There is a type of brush that lets you brush as swiftly as you want and never...

Re: Little roy has a spinal injury
Hi Wayland, It sounds like they're treating him for swelling, and as the swelling goes down he's improving. Your decision to take him to the vet the same night is in his favor to recover quickly, because they started treating the swelling right away and minimized the effect of the injury. If you thi...

Toileting Tips for A Disabled Dog
Hi Wayland, Your good news was most welcome. I think the reason it takes a while to get good at expressing is because your hands are not dealing with identical physiological conditions every time. Excuse me for speaking plainly. The amount of urine in the bladder varies by time of day and other fact...
Re: for the incontinence
Shaving really is a big help, and a veterinary clinic will do it for you even if they don't do grooming, because it involves hygiene. They do it all the time. Just call and ask what they charge--shouldn't be much. My old dog had a long beautiful coat and when he became mainly bedfast, shaving helped...

Re: owie, my mouth hurts!
Dear Bendy, have you tried those little pea-sized balls of American cheese rolled by hand till they're warm and soft? They go right down. *g* Also, has your mom called Fancy Feast for a nutrition breakdown pamphlet, so she can see how much stinging salt is hidden in those little cans? Some flavors a...
Re: FCE
I do not have any experience with FCE, but my healthy golden retriever often walks while passing stools and I never thought twice about it. As for your dog not drinking water, is his bowl on the floor? You might try getting one of those stands that raise the bowl so the dog doesn't have to stoop ove...

Re: Distractions during the day???
Do you have someone who will be home at lunch, so she's only alone a half day? Once she learns when to expect you, she will learn to wait for your return, at lunch and after work. If you and your husband are both working again, perhaps one could take lunch at 11 and the other at 2 or something like ...

Re: Could Use Encouragement?
Brek, yes I feel I made the right decision for this individual case. I have cared for a crippled dog before, and am caring for a different one now, and the situations are very different. My old dog got hip displasia. He weighed 37 lbs., had a long silky coat, could pee voluntarily, but could not tur...

Could Use Encouragement?
We are 14 weeks and 2 days post spinal fusion for a chihuahua. We are doing the following: bicycling legs, scarf walking twice a day, tub therapy, and also standing exercises. She still has some strength in her legs but cannot stand or walk. She raises her feet like she's riding a little Harley when...
