Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Wed Apr 17, '13 9:01pm PST  When Maggie was having seizures before her passing she would usually fall down and paddle or run with just her rear feet. She would often foam at the mouth and lose control of her bladder and sometimes she would end up messing herself as well. There was only one time I remember her biting either the inside of her upper lip or her tongue and causing it to bleed. She also had a focal or head seizure once where it looked like she was standing there shaking her head no very rapidly. We think that the day she passed away she may have had a seizure that led to her passing. However she had either a lesion or tumor on her brain so there was nothing we could do because of her age. She was with us for 8 months after the diagnosis and I miss my sweetie every day. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Mon Mar 18, '13 5:08am PST  My beloved Maggie had seizures and they were not controlled by medication but one thing we did do with her is as she was coming out of the seizures we would put two drops of clear corn syrup under her tongue and rubbed it on her gums as well to boost her blood sugar. On the medication she would have anywhere from 1-6 seizures in a day every 20 days but once we took her off it she went from having 1-6 every 20 days to having only 2 or 3 every 83 days. Sadly she crossed the bridge last year on October 28th around 2 pm. I miss her deeply every day and yet I am glad that it is all said and done. I have sworn that I will never take on another special needs dog after her because I cannot deal with the constant worry and stress. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Seizure?

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Sun Feb 10, '13 1:08pm PST  My late husky Maggie had seizures for two of the three years that we had her. They were very scary for me to witness. We took her to a vet who when I asked and demanded that they do blood work on her refused to do so claiming that it was too expensive. I called another vet who got in contact with her former vet and they came to the conclusion that her seizures were brought on by either a lesion or a tumor on the brain. They told us that in March of last year and she crossed the bridge at home on her own on October 28,2012. I was crushed to say the least. That being said the seizures she would have the last few months of her life got to a point that if we tried to touch her during or after one she would bite or snap at us. We would wait about half an hour after she came out of one to give her a little bit of clear Karo syrup which we would rub on her gums and put two drops under her tongue. She didnt like it but she allowed us to do it. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Saying Goodbye: Memorials & Support > My Snoopy Marie....

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Tue Jan 29, '13 8:37pm PST  Snoopy's mom its been three months yesterday since I lost my heart and soul my beloved Husky Maggie to brain cancer. I dont know how old she was but I do know that my three years with her were way too short. She knew every day how much I loved her and I know that she is showing your beloved Snoopy the ropes at the bridge. Maggie is more than likely showing Snoopy where the best hot dogs are and the most comfy clouds to sleep on. My heart goes out to you on the loss of your sweet darling girl. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Laws & Legislation > Vets abusing animals

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Sun Jan 27, '13 9:43am PST  I am glad to say that because of that one local vet's abuse to peoples dogs he was forced into retirement. The two young vets who took over his office run it at a lower cost than their other offices. They each work part time at that office and then full time at their other offices. One is a wild life vet in Ky on Monday through Wednesday and works the office on Wed. afternoons, Thursday and Friday. His partner has two other offices and works the local office on Monday and Tuesday. Then he comes in on Saturday to help his partner that half day on Saturday. They are both really great vets and the one that is there the first part of the week was Katana's vet and was the one that told us that Maggie had brain cancer. His partner is the one who has taken care of Garnet both with her leg injury and with fixing her spay incision where another vet messed it up. She wasnt healing right and so I called him and asked him what he thought he had me bring her in and get it looked at. He ended up stitching it and giving her antibiotics and she is feeling all better. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Mon Jan 14, '13 9:26am PST  you can always paw mail me. I have been through it a couple times once right after I got out of high school and was living on my own. Sadly that dog didnt make it. The other I had when my mom died he survived it though. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > Educating the Dog-Fighting Public??!!!?!

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Thu Dec 20, '12 12:50pm PST  Many years ago I met a dog fighter or should I say a retired one. He had dogs that had bloodlines going back 18+ generations and what made him quit was when his son was born with brain cancer. He had one female that was over 15 years old and was still producing quality and quantity liters and he was getting good prices for them. He told us that his dad and grandpa were both fighters and they were disapointed when he retired from fighting but he told them that he was more concerned about his child than the family business my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Twist is at the vets

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Thu Dec 20, '12 12:08pm PST  Twister sounds like you and I are both having to take a dog in to have stitches taken out. One of the little dogs I am caring for got hurt somehow we dont know how but we think it was the mean cat. She had a really deep gash to her front right leg right around the elbow. I cleaned it and bandaged it till i could get her in to see the vet who had to give her two shots of the anesthesia one so he could prep and clean the leg which she burned through before he could get it prepped and the other so he could stitch it up. She burned through it as well and was bouncing around just like she does at home. We left her at the vet for less than two hours and she was all bouncy just like she is here at home. Garnet weighs 9.8 pounds at 7 months old. She goes in Saturday and gets her stitches out. The vet put her on clavamox for infection and she takes them like a champ. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Small breeds and burning through anesthesia when needing stitches is it normal?

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Mon Dec 17, '12 10:32am PST  This was as far as I know her first visit ever to a vet. She weighs 9.8 pounds and is 6 1/2 months old. Her mom has a constantly high body temp as well and so I was confused. Her vet is really good although younger than myself. He explained everything very well so that an idiot like me could easily understand it. Garnet is doing really well. She is taking 2 62.5 Clavamox tabs a day to keep the infection down. He said there was a small amount of swelling and infection at the top of the wound. She wasnt even groggy when we got her home. She was running around the house like crazy with her brother and her parents. Stranger yet she has not tried to chew or lick the stitches. I asked about wrapping the leg to keep her from chewing the stitches and he said he would rather I not so that the air could get to it. She is having no problems at all with getting around or playing or even jumping from the floor to the bed or from the bed to a cushion on the floor. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Maggie (I'm- Moms Angel- Now) Punish the DEED- NOT The Breed!!!     Barked: Mon Dec 17, '12 8:07am PST  I am caring for two Boston Terrier Miniature Pincher mixes and their parents for a family friend while he is in jail. Recently the mother dog was spayed and has healed up really well. Thursday night Garnet one of the pups the female got into a fight with we think the cat. She ended up with a deep cut to her front leg right at the elbow. Since it was late when it happened the Vet was closed and with my car down I couldnt take her into the e vet, none of my friends could help because they all have school age children or no car. I flushed the wound out really well and wrapped it up with gauze. I called the vet yesterday morning and they had me find a way to get her in today. She had to have three stitches put in. Her vet who is a little younger than I am told us when we picked her up that he had to give her twice the amount of anesthesia for her size to knock her out for the stitches because she burned through the first dose that he gave her before he could get her leg fully cleaned up. He said most small dogs her size and age are out cold for hours after just one dose of the drug but she was up looking around AFTER TWO!!! He also told me that I did the right thing by cleaning it,putting some antiseptic spray on it and wrapping it with bitter bandage to keep it clean until I could get in to see him. Is it normal for small breeds to go through anesthesia like that? She weighs 9.8 pounds and her body is always really warm like putting your hands in a warm oven. I just want to know for sure if it is normal. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
