I spent the weekend freaking out over (my dog) Kevin's leg. As he gets into his golden years i know at some point his body will give out before his spirit. Last week he started limping more than normal... and by the weekend he would hardly walk.
I spent all last night awake worried what...

Izellah is a good dog, I'm not going to lie but I'm at a loss on how to fix this problem I'm having with her and it's driving me crazy.
She has these moments of "outburst" where she will go nuts and won't listen to anyone or anything we have to say. When she isn't having these burst of energy...

Hi ,
My English bullydog, is super active that he wants to run and play outside ALL THE TIME. I do it with him but I am scared that he might have joint problems. IS this an issue with you where your bulldog is super duper active? I just want to know if there's vitamins for joints that you give...
Hi folks! My name is Scooter (foster Daddy calls me Scoot-Scoot). And yes, my name is due to the way I walk, which is more of a scoot due to my front legs. See, I was born with deformed front legs which were never fixed, and over time arthritis has set in and they are locked in position. I also...

Lola is 9 months old and I started to hear clunking or knuckle cracking type noises coming from her rear end when she walks.
Her legs must not be in her hip sockets right or something, because I can also set my hand on her hind end and feel the clicking when she walks.
You can feel and hear the...
Ollie had his follow-up vet appointment on Monday. His injured leg was most likely muscle pull. After a week of crate and Rimadyl, it's fine.
Now onto the bigger issue, the right hip dysplasia...We need to do the consult with the orthopedic surgeon. We have insurance. The best advice I...

Ugh, we are struggling A LOT with treatment options for our precious, 8-year-old Sophie. We already
knew she has a subluxating patella (floating kneecap), plus, since she's almost 8 (WHERE did EIGHT years go ! ? ! !?...)

In the last...

So our 9 month old Pumba finally had his knee surgery. He is in antibiotic and pain meds with a bandage around the right leg from toes to hip. I am trying desperately to keep him calm and minimal movements but it is becoming increasingly difficult as he hears the sounds in the house and wants to...
My Bulldog is 8, but he is an old 8. He was a rescue and I did not know much of his health history. needless to say, 7 years later he has. Been the MOST expensive dog I have ever owned but worth every penny. I love him to pieces. Unfortunately, his eyes has been a major issue for years. Two...
