    My big girl still isn't walking - Help!

    Thanks to all for your encouragement and making me realize that she needs time to heal. We have grown very attached to Rosie (new name - new start) and each little milestone is celebrated. Today is the first times she has gotten out of her bed and walked to the door to be let out. She walked...

    Thank you for your encouragement and first hand knowledge. I was was rushing to judgment and feeling that I wasn't doing enough or that it was cruel to keep her alive for my benefit. After reading your post - I feel like there is hope and that things will improve, I just need to be patient...

    My big girl still isn't walking - Help!

    Thanks for your thoughts. It's unbelievable what people will do for money. My vet (not the rescue's vet) told me that she should never have been bred in the first place. She has several congenital problems and whoever made their money abusing my sweet girl has not only hurt her, but has put...

    I have been giving her glucosamine chondroitin MSM with Joint Lubricant (Advanced Double Dose) plus Cosequin DS (Maximum Joint Supplement for Dogs), and a buffered baby aspirin @ 12 hrs. for pain, feeding the best dry and canned foods (she only has 2 1/2 teeth). I will try some yogurt for their...

    My big girl still isn't walking - Help!

    We (the Rescue and I are waiting to hear back from the vet that did the surgery for an opinion. I don't know. I was told not to bathe her until the stitches came out - so I have been giving her daily sponge baths to try and urge the stitches loose, but that's not working. Thanks for your...

    My big girl still isn't walking - Help!

    I have a senior (age can't be determined because she is nearly toothless - vet guesses 4 to 7 years old), that was dumped at a shelter after being used as a breeder her entire life. She was spade, had cherry eye and enthropic eye surgery and several growths removed a week before I picked her...

    Stella has Demodex =(

    beachbumjen - I just did a google search for "salmon oil for dogs" and got lots of hits from holistic pet stores to PetCo. You can probably find a store that meets your needs and it looks like it runs from $17.99 on up depending on the size you buy. Because it is an oil and can go rancid, I'd...

    Is anyone still happily using Natural Balance??

    I've looked at Wellness and several other top brands as well. They run about $2.69 to $2.89 a can. Natural Balance is around $2.14 - so I do mix it up with Trippett ($2.79) and Merrick Wilderness (which does have grain in it), but I'm trying to balance the cost of the high dollar foods. I...
