So so happy for you leslie and little squirt! Squirt is so important to me too! You bring so much hope to this forum. And hope seems to find you. Seven years and this not so little dog still makes it to old age. Wow that is a wonderful message to pass on. Reminds me of the time a women just stepped out of her house, saw my Kira and told me her Husky lived to be 17! A message of hope.
Hi there! What is it you give for elevated ALP??? My Precia could use some help!!!
Hug your baby from me and Precia :)
Hi Squirt!.... umm that's it, just hi! :D
@@@Leena asked -
I give her Burdock root to help with her liver and gall bladder (for sludge). Burdock is one of the safest herbs (it is actually a nutraceutical - food that has medicinal properties) we can use in our babies. No toxicity has been reported with its use. Here are some links that tell about Burdock root.Quote:

***EDITED TO ADD*** While there has been no toxicity reported, Dr. Susan Wynne and Barbara Fougere list an interaction with insulin, oral hypoglycemics and APAP

She also gets Astragulus as an immune booster tho it does have properties that help the liver, heart, kidneys, thyroid, lungs and digestive tract. Astragulus is also considered safe but I would advise caution using it in pups with hypothyroid as it depresses thyroid function. Here are some links on Astagulus -

Even with the elevation in the Androstenedione, I believe those UTK results are excellent! Great job, Leslie!!

Hi Ya'll,
Yesterday my Sweet Bebe turned 14! :D:D She got her usual breakfast, then we went on a long walk to her favorite area and beyond into new territory. Around noon, I fixed her all-time favorite food, fried egg, and gave it to her. She thoroughly enjoyed it and cleaned the plate back to spotless condition. However, she had to have her face washed after because her beard was solid bright yellow from the yoke of a farm fresh egg. :D
Happy 14th Birthday, Squirt!I love you more than words can express!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww....:)
Happiest Birthday
sweet Squirt....:p
Glad mommy spoiled you with some nice meals on such a special day.
We are sending you lots of loving and healthy wishes always.
Aunt Jeanette and cousin Princess...:):)
Sounds like it was a fabulous day for both of you! How fun!
Happy 14th birthday, Squirt!
