    Hi Claire,

    Thank you for sharing your experience with it. I’m so sorry you and the babies had to go through IVDD.
    God bless you for helping them through it.

    Hello Marianne,

    Omg.

    You made many good points.

    I will ask for a referral.

    Is an internet’s going to be expensive compared to a vet?
    I wish I had gone to one first instead to have the...

    Thank you Angela!

    I am googling cbd oil for dogs and watching YouTube videos on physical therapy/massage for dogs. I keep correcting her hind leg posture, but both back legs slide forward.

    Does anyone know if CBD oil actually works as an effective anti-inflammatory?
    Or is it overhyped? (I know fish oil is too, but it’s not fast acting like an NSAID, which she needs).

    Looking to...

    Hi Lori,

    I asked about a culture (it involves a needle in her bladder, correct?)
    He said it wasn’t needed as her WBC is negative.

    I am a little worried about the bacteria.
    I did ask him...

    So,

    If anyone here has a dog with hip or disk issues, or knows of a reputable forum that may help with expert or pet parent advice, and I can send a video too, please let me know.

    It turns out my dog is 11 lbs not 14 as I thought.

    The receptionist told me the vet was booked solid for two weeks. I sent the vet a picture and a video of what was going on with my dog because...

    So her right leg hasn’t been right since the vet apt.
    It hasn’t done this before.

    Does anyone know what leg they do bloodwork on?
    And also, what leg they take blood pressure from or is it all...
  10. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    Which one do you use?

    Human supplements sound so much more clean then the dog versions and half the cost!

    But my vet said human supplements can’t be trusted because you don’t know what’s in...

    I had been wondering if the optivizor actually worked! It looked heavy in pics. So I am glad to know it works! Thank you!

    Sentinel is sounding like a good idea.

    Dang. I just bought 6 months of interceptor and then at vet I got several months of Heartguard bc the vet assured me there were no side effects and...
  15. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    That is heartbreaking about your Rose.
    There’s so many things we wish we knew, or replay in our minds. I barely catch my breathe most days. Just need a pause button.

    The baseball cap is a great...
  16. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    Hi Marianne,

    I took my doggy in the day she went blind. My dog did not respond to her light tests and exam. They spend a long time with her (almost an hour in the back room with her - this was...

    I...
  18. Re: UTI + Overnight blindness + then sudden dementia like symptoms + Cushings dx

    Hi Claire,

    That’s a good point.

    I wonder if this is why she gets extra worked up when I wash the linen, because her scent is gone?
    And that’s how she locates her room for comfort?

    She...
