Dog Health > Okay, incontinence. What now?

Libby Love me!     Barked: Mon May 6, '13 6:50pm PST  Thank you! I picked up some topical meds and, apparently am going to have to get to know her lady bits fairly well for a couple of weeks. Hopefully we're going to make some progress this week! Thanks for your reply. I still feel like I should have noticed and taken care of it sooner, but all I can do now is work on improving the situation. Thank you for your support! my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Okay, incontinence. What now?

Libby Love me!     Barked: Sun May 5, '13 10:45am PST  We started her on Proin yesterday. How long before it starts working? I feel like a horrible dog mom because apparently this issue has been ongoing for some time, as the skin around her rectum is all red and when I tried to clean her up a little this morning, she cried out. She never cries out and this brought instant, guilty tears to my eyes. http://www.dogster.com/forums/post.php# I'm de-peeing the entire house (so much enzymatic cleaner), have given her a bath with medicated shampoo, ordered some bloomers with washable pads, and am looking for whatever else I need to do in order to make her more comfortable. I'd love to get some pointers from people whose dogs have had this same issue. How do I keep the area dry while I wait for the Proin to kick in? Will I need to continue to worry about accidents while she's on the Proin? What happens if the med doesn't work or if she has side effects? I thank you in advance for your help. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > How to introduce my first rescue dog to my (probable) second rescue dog

Libby Love me!     Barked: Tue Oct 30, '12 5:12pm PST  Libby is a 4 year old husky mix. She is active and playful and very sweet. And I've wanted a second dog for a long time, to keep her company and to give a good dog a home. So I've been watching the rescue sites for a while, and one day I came across a senior dog, roughly eight years old. She's at county Animal Control. She's very sweet. My adoption application has been approved. So how do I introduce these two in a way that is conducive to them sharing a home? my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Siberian Husky > Blowing coat?

Libby Love me!     Barked: Tue Jan 11, '11 4:41pm PST  Anyone else's sibe losing their winter coat right now? This is my first winter with a husky, but it seems a little early for all this. Any thoughts? my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
