Seymores mom, Although my Dolcezza Mia was not a puppy when she lost control, she is incontinent of urine and bowel. I can tell you that it is more challenging then you'll ever imagine, but like others on the board will tell you it gets easier. I was dealt this on Mother's Day weekend of 08 and I'm ...

Something just hit me and I thought I would share. 1. video tape this behavior to show the vet 2. Could it be neuropathic pain or paresthesia? I'm a nurse of humans, and I'm new to the board, but I just wonder if he is having neuropathic discomfort which is resistant to pain meds and anti-inflammato...

You don't know me either. I've been on the boards since Mother's Day 2008 with Dolcezza Mia. I just watched the video and I can't believe the progress! He is days away from walking, I can feel it! Congrats and I so look forward to your progress. Dolcezza Mia is still on crate rest but we so look for...

Carol, I ordered several panties and a dress to match. I'll take photos when I get them. Because these are custom made they take a while. I ordered mine on June 9th and called Thursday and she said she was shipping them. So, if anyone wants these, give her some time on them. I love that she customiz...

Hi guys, Thought I would add that my Dolcezza Mia will start whining and she is on crate rest. So I've been gently taking her out and every now and then she will try and Poop. We also filmed this as there is very clear "winking" of her anus and the poop is right there but it's like she doe...

Madmax, I just got on the board after a small hiatus. I am curious, did Madmax get hit by a car? Where is his spinal cord injury? How much does he weigh? Some of the things you describe is exactly what my Dolcezza does. She was struck by a falling tree limb over Mother's Day Weekend while vacationin...

Hi Everyone! Well, back home from South Carolina. My father was in bad shape but he is now at a rehab center and probably going home next weekend. Amazing what the human body can do. He is so sick and I prepared his wife and himself for his passing and everyone was ready. Except his body. He is at p...

Carol and Sunspirit, Thanks for your comments. The vet did say something about meat tenderizer. I have to say she's only had the For-bid for a couple of days and she is ignoring her poop. So, for now it looks like it's helping. But thanks for the thread as well. Tucker is so darn cute! Seriously I w...

Wanted to let you all know that the vet was unable to get a urine culture cause our little Dolcezza squirted urine while fighting the procedure. Dr. Saleh said he feels there is tone returning! He also said he noticed rectal tone on the left side of her rectum and says typically when one side return...

Hey, Great idea for the smaller crate or even a box. I'll try that. I have a soft sided pursee thing that I used to carry her around in and although I would'nt use it now cause it's soft-sided and not sturdy enough, inside the stroller might be just what is necessary to keep her confined. This morni...

Princepesa is an adorable name! Geez, why didn't I think of that! :P Ok, now that I'm on a roll, here's what came today for her! We've been out and about already. My only problem is that the vet said she could be in the stroller if her crate fit. Well, her crate is too big, so now I have to figure o...

HA!! You made me laugh with the "new use for the manicure set" line! Funny. I thought I would share a picture of Dolcezza in her sleepee time bed. She was waiting for our pet sitter to come and visit so she put her special dress from "Designer Doggie" on as well. She has an appoi...

Christine and Carol, Wanted to ask if you know of the difference between the Rescue Remedy for people and for pets. I ordered two bottles on Amazon.com today and then later found it for pets specifically and ordered more. But I'm wondering if there is any difference? Also, my joybies are still not h...

Christine and Carol, Thanks for the link on Rescue Remedy. Maybe I should have had some those first few days. :lol: I'll poke around and see where I can get it. In regards to putting her little legs under water, I have to be careful cause she has the stitches but I have done that. My question is as ...

Carol and Critters, I'll check out the rescue remedy website since we don't have a good healthfood store near us. Thanks. What does it do? I love the joybies too and ordered a pair a couple of weeks ago, didn't hear a thing, e-mailed them on June 1st and they e-mailed back to say they hope to get th...
