Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Kathy,
since Cushpups have a difficult time regulating their core temp. I'd be concerned about the pool being too warm and Buddy overheating moreso than him not being able to tolerate the exercise. I would think that he would simply stop when he was done.

If Buddy has any kind of cut, sore, irritation at all - I would not expose him to chlorine.

What about swimming in the bath tub at home? Seriously :)

I know someone whose dog had weak hind legs and they fitted him with women's pantyhose in a loop and supported him that way while walking. He was able to exercise more this way and recovered nicely.

I have several packages of these if anybody would like them. PM me if you are interested and I'll see that you get them. I think I only have two or three medium and two extra small.

Glynda,
Great! I would like to try them. I sent you a PM with my mailing address and contact information. Thank you so much!:)

My Zoe is allgeric to grass but not to the extent Buddy is. I did find last year that Betadine Iodine footbath can rinse all pollen and other junk off their feet. You can mix up a batch in a small bucket or dish pan the color of iced tea and simply dunk and swosh and pat dry, no need to rinse and you can reuse the solution for a while. You can leave the pan at your door outside and it does not hurt them if they lick or chew their paws afterward.

Just a thought.:):):):)

Hey Kathy

How are you and the little lizard hunter today?

Hope all is well and that you are having a good day

Big hug

Hi Mel,
We are doing well. Thank you or asking.:) No tremors since last Monday. YAY:D. The weather has been perfect for lizard hunting and there are many this year.


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!:)

Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy:cool:

Addy,
Thank you for the foot bath recipe. I will try it! :) Hopefully Buddy will not expect a massage and mini pedi with his soak! LOL . The mighty lizard hunter tries to portray a tough guy image. If he picks up one little sticker, he stops in his tracks, lifts his paw, and waits to be rescued. If it's a back paw, he will freeze in his tracks and wait for his rescuer. Don't get me started on the rain. If he even thinks it might be sprinkling, he is not going out there! When forced to go outside, he will plaster himself along the wall under the overhang of the eaves to do his business, then run for the door, before the rain monster gets him!:eek: THIS IS THE MIGHTY LIZARD HUNTER!;):D LOL


Love and Hugs,
Kathy and Buddy

Yay!:):):D:D:D
