Wally loves to lay on the carpet to scratch his face too. Wally had crystals and they turned into stones, I found them when I expressed him, the vet checked his urine, and put him on different food and distilled water,since then he has had no more stones. He just had 2 urinallisis done 2 weeks apart...

I was happy to see the picture of your new flooring. I would like to know what material and colour you used. The picture was kind of dark. How is the flooring working? I really need to change my carpet for the same reason.

I am so sorry about TwoBit,how dreadful that happened while you were away.

Welcome, I have never espressed a cat, although I have a mini doxin almost 11 years old. My little guy was paralysed for two an a half years, he still has to be espressed for his urine and bowels(poo). I was also toldto put my dog to sleep(even by vets) My little guy is very happy. He can't chase sq...

Please don't blame yourself.My paraylised dog never had a bladder, however he did have bleeding from the penis as I was changing him. I took him to the ve and he had bladder stones, so please do take him to the vet , let us know how he is doing. We all care on this board.

I agree with Trublu, crate rest would be the best. Having pain in the dog's leg shows he has feeling in his leg or legs. My dog didn't have surgery ,I crated him and did physical therapy with him. Wally was unable to walk for 2 1/2 years, he walks and runs, but very shaky. Wally doesn't have control...

I am so sorry for your loss. You are a very brave woman. I can tell that you really loved your kitty, I am so sorry for your loss and the terrible way kitty died, I agree ther was nothing you could have done. Those dogs were vicious, your kitty did not have a chance, and no it was not your fault you...

I am so sorry that you lost your baby,my thoughts and prayers are with you

This is not the end of the world, I know how you feel, I have been there. Is your dog on pain meds and steroids? My doxin was paralysed for two and a half years. He walks , although his legs shake quite a bit. He has no control of his urine or bowels. I keep him in a male wrap for his urine,and I fe...

Hi Cami, when my doxin has a sore that he is licking I put an e collar on him so he can't reach it. This helps with the medication too, as he is unable to lick it off.

I help Wally in this same way, and lucky for me his stools never came out side ways either. These were excellent photos. I say thumbs up on the video!

I would like to know what the best color rug or carpet tiles would be because of dog urine?

Hi I have heard of dogs getting their feelings back and can urinat and poop in the proper plac, but my doxin isn't one of them. I have a male and I keep him in a male wrap during the day and express him 2or 3 times a day. His poop he just lets go where ever he happens to be. I watch what I feed him ...

Hi , I'm sorry you are having this problem. I also have a severe back problem, and I have a doxin, that has no control over his urine or his feces. ?I keep him in a male wrap for his urine. I express my dog on the couch or my daybed, my dog has ivd. As for pain I don't know what to tell you.Maybe yo...

Yes my Wally will sometimes have scissor legs when I am holding him. I take my hands and put them betwen his legs and pull them apart, I do this 10 times quite regulaly. I find it helps as he doesn't walk as often with his scissor legs, I hope this is helpful.
