Re: Old-fashioned clothesline
They also take a number of inches away from your line. I have 42 ft and don't want to give up any of them! :lol: This has been more complicated than I thought. It was great till the rain started and I put up lines indoors and started using a drying rack. Then someone pointed out that merely washing ...

Re: Percy - elderly brown tabby needs TLC - Parks, AZ
Gosh, he's not grooming. I've seen that with an outdoor senior cat that wasn't getting enough water. It takes a lot of saliva to groom. She caught up on her grooming when given a steady supply of water. He's in Arizona, I wonder if they brought him in off the street where he wasn't getting water. Or...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
:lol: I think he's a little intimidated by Paddy. Paddy raised a paw at him a couple of times in early days, like a cat that is about to bat a toy. Now Pip keeps an eye on him every time he walks by. :wink: Pip was Best Dogger this morning. I threw my back out yesterday about 5:30. I got up this mor...

Re: 16-yo cat with pancreatitis / Remdesivir for FIP
If it were me with that tiny smidge of a pill I'd pop it in by hand, then if it hit spit and melted I'd consider that a win. I wish! I am terrible at hand pilling. :roll: I have tried a number of times. The vet makes it look so easy... :lol: He's been doing better, with his stools looking semi-form...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
Pip's 4.5 months post-surgery. He still has about the same limitations in his ability to hold his head and use his front legs. He can fully clean his bowl now, reaching all corners. There are 2 improvements. He doesn't seem to be flipping himself out of his bed unexpectedly now. And he is not hookin...

Re: Old-fashioned clothesline
:thankyou: I didn't know they would last that long. If the plastic cracks and starts catching on things it would have to be replaced. Last week I scraped the posts with a rigid paint scraper (rusty, especially at the welds), brushed them with a wire brush, and painted them with silver (Aluminum) Rus...

16-yo cat with pancreatitis / Remdesivir for FIP
My grey and white senior cat, Paddy, got pancreatitis. He had it once before but it didn't last long. This time my vets were at a continuing education convention so I took him to VCA. They ran blood tests and diagnosed it correctly, but the treatment wasn't good. They gave him Pet Pectillin for diar...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome
He's been doing pretty well, other than being bored. Monday and today he was kicking at the back of his neck again. I gave him gabapentin both times. I don't know if he did something to it while springing against the side of the playpen to get into his preferred position. I'd guess that's what it is...

Re: Keeping bed dry
Oh, I see. That's kind of interesting. I can't remember a vet telling a caregiver not to use diapers (belly bands) before. Maybe she wanted to be sure you got in the habit of always expressing and did not simply rely on a diaper? :? Really don't know what the thinking was. Many dogs (it sounds like ...

Re: Keeping bed dry
Have you tried a male doggy diaper, also called a belly band or male wrap? It's a wide band that fastens around the waist with velcro. Inside you put an absorbent pad, such as Poise (cut to size, your dog is small). They also make disposable male wraps but in my limited experience, the ones I tried ...

Re: Stirrup Help
He tries to eat his feet so we keep boots on him almost 24/7. <snip> It also doesn't help that he has to wear a cone at night because he tries to get his boots off and night and has been successful several time. We just got that injury where he lost a nail healed. Hi hbartek, :gang: Hopefully someo...

Re: Newbie! Needing advice re knuckling and stiff feet
Replies in blue... An update to my last post.. I visited the orthopaedic vet last Friday and he wasn't much help at all. :( He basically said he couldn't and wouldn't operate as he would be worried about the foot becoming floppy and useless, he also didn't think fusing would be a good idea either. ...
