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...

She is a beauty and will be the picture of health in no time. I love Daisy as a name - at least she is loved!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Congratulations on the beautiful home and have fun decorating it!

Sorry you have to deal with this problem, but hope the salmon oil and meds will help get rid of it. Sending hugs to Stella. :hug:

Winston is beautiful and looks so cute romping in the snow.

Congrats on the two new babies! I'm sure you'll learn to adapt to them quickly. I'm so jealous!

He is adorable and I'm excited that your long awaited dream is coming true. Good luck to you and your little one. :)

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...

My Bulldog's age is unknown (4 - 7 yrs. old) and she weighs 47 lbs.
