We were feeding her raw/giving her cbd prior to all the meds, and unfortunately she was having seizures. I wish she didn't have to take prescription anything—it's hard on the liver, it's expensive. But I appreciate what you're saying, because I'm open to trying things that don't have such an...
I agree, they are like little children! Yes, we do give probiotics in the form of a treat, and also I give her yogurt with a tiny bit of peanut butter and CBD oil on a lick mat at midday and at night before bedtime. She's doing quite well these days. We are feeding her raw (Primal), along with...
Hey LovemyBoyboy- I wasn't sure if you were responding to me regarding the condition my dog was officially diagnosed with, but here's what we ended up with as far as diagnoses: She has canine cognitive dysfunction (dog Alzheimer's) and a seizure disorder. What the doctors were not sure about is...
Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's incredibly hard. I hope you're taking care of yourself as best you can.
To also update this thread a bit, if it could help anyone: my dog is currently on phenobarbital (for seizures) and Anipryl (for canine cognitive dysfunction). Unfortunately she's...
Sorry to hear about. your son''s loss of his dog, helsonwheels. But yes, the rescues are the best indeed.
The neurologist did recommend heavy use of CBD, but I imagine CBC could be used as well. Thanks for the mention of that, I had no idea there was another variation.
Hello, and thanks for reminding me to update you all. I also thought for sure it was a brain tumor, but she had an MRI yesterday, and it seems she has cognitive dysfunction syndrome. The big surprise is that we thought we had an 8-year-old dog, but the neurologist said that after looking at how...
Thanks for responding! Yes, we did use the pumpkin puree, and it seems that, along with the bland food and discontinuation of the carprofen, we've fixed the bathroom problem. She's also had no episodes since the long one over the weekend, and her Cushing's test came back negative. Next step is a...
Thanks to everyone who's answering- I've been away from the thread for a bit but am catching up now. She is currently somewhat stable and hasn't needed any drugs, so I'm hoping we can clear her system and get her diarrhea (from the Carprofen) under control. She's not eating as much as I'd like...
Thank you so much for responding. Definitely going to get the belly scan as you suggested. She is drinking more, yes, and I don’t think they checked for a UTI. These are all great questions, I appreciate you taking the time!
Hello! I have a bulldog mix (75% English, 25% American) and we've been unable to get a diagnosis for her symptoms. She started having episodes of heavy panting and trembling back in late spring, early summer, but they were infrequent and short. They also only seemed to occur in the evening hours...
