Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re: fur loss ....desperate for advice.......any ideas for my friend?
« on: February 12, 2006, 06:53:18 pm »
I spoke with our vet this afternoon. He felt that if it were Cushings that the blood count for the liver would have been elevated, and it was normal. I will pick up the medicated shampoo form the vets and give her a bath twice a month as he recommended. We will now concentrate on the possible food allergy. I am going to continue her on the SolidGold for a month, then possibly switch her to IVD. He was not certain what to think of her trembling. Possible that she could have a vertabrae (sp?) out of allignment. She doesn't seem to be in pain though. I'll keep you all posted.

I think the tea tree has helped a bit. I really haven't given everything time to "kick" in. I know with things like this, there is not a quick fix. I just want her coat back to the way it was. Good thing is that her activity level is still up. Thanks for your help and concern

those are awesome!! Oh, to have dogs that enjoy the snow.....One upon a time I did Tilly plays a little... Molly goes out just long enough to do what needs to be done. I guess I should cut them some slack though, it's kinda of hard when your legs are only 8ish inches long.

Update on Molly. We are on week 2 of the Solid Gold Wolfking mixed with a bit of the canned food and warmed in the mic for about 15secs.This is the only way she will eat it. tomorrow is the last day of the meds she is on for the yeast problem. I have only given her 1 bath in the tea tree shampoo (2wks ago), I have been putting a tea tree oil mixed with some vitamins on her coat(what is left of it). Her trembling is concerning me, and I will be calling the vets tomorrow. I need to find out what else they tested for in her blood work. Everything I read sounds like it could be cushings. Reading things on the web can be scary though, and I hope that I am over-reacting. She is the sweetest dog, and I just want her better.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / adding a paw print

I have been a member for about 3 weeks now. I love this site. Although my dogs hights don't fit into the criteria of a "big dog", their paws do I thought by creating a profile, I would have a paw print, I just can't figure out how to add theirs? I click on "add Your Paw Print" and it takes me to my profile page, but then what?
thanks for any help you can provide.

« on: February 04, 2006, 09:58:38 pm »
My Molly continues to do it and she will be 6 in April. It's gross! If I catch her trying to do it, I say " don't even think about it"! She looks at me like, "what, I wasn't going to do anything" In the winter time here in Maine, we call them poopsicles. Seriously, I talked to the vet about it and he said it is not harmful to her as long as it's her own. I tried a powered additive a few years ago called "for-bid" but it didn't work for her. I just try to keep an eye on her when she is out, and make sure I don't get any kisses right away from her when she comes back in.

She was tested for Hypothyroidism, even had the blood shipped to Michigan state for indepth testing. Levels came back normal. What is funny is that this morning she ate all her food She must of known that I reported her on here. I am watching her closely for any changes, both good and bad.

It will be a week tomorrow that Molly has been on her new food. She hates it!! I bought some of the Solid Gold canned food, and mix just enough in to coat the morsels. She has 9 more days of the meds she is taking for the yeast control. After that, we will probably be back to the vets. She is still chasing the cat and playing with Tilly. She still loves to go out for her romp around the yard. At night when we are watching T.V, she lays next to me. While she is sleeping, she shivers, and sometimes her teeth chatter. I always cover her with a blanket. Do you think this is due to lack of hair? She doesn't seem to do it during the day. Any thoughts out there???

I hope the food helps too. Very pricey though 
I paid almost $2 a pound. She's worth every penny though
She hasn't been itchy at all... this is so confusing. The yeast meds have been working, she doesn't have a greasy feeling to her anymore. The tubby helped as well. guess i best go tend to my outside critters.. 2 horses this site can be addicting.
