Toby Got food?     Barked: Mon Apr 29, '13 6:41pm PST  Toby had a TPLO done by a board certified ortho special -ist. After 2 weeks of keeping him very pain free he was allowed to go for a VERY short walk in the yard. We did range of motion exercises with him every day. We tried the crate but with the cone (tried the boo boo loon type, he reached around and got to the incision anyway) it was hard to turn in the crate for him. We kept him in my husbands hone office on a big comfy ortho bed. Kevin even got a blow up mattress to sleep with him. After 4 weeks he could go on longer walks and after 6 weeks we back to pretty much normal. Cost a little over $3000 my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Toby Got food?     Barked: Mon Mar 4, '13 7:12pm PST  There are several newer drugs for Mast Cell Cancer on the market now. Have you seen an Veterinary Oncologist? If I had to do over, I would do the same thing for Toby. He went through 4 weeks of weekly IV chemo before starting the Palladia. But having him around a year and a half after diagnosis and doing so well, means the world to us! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > New Cancer Drug for dogs Palladia

Toby Got food?     Barked: Sun Mar 3, '13 2:10pm PST  Toby was on Palladia for a grade 3 mast cell tumor for 8 mos. He is now in total remission. First 7 mos he was on it were a breeze. He had bloodwork done every week at first, then every 2 weeks then went to once a month. His kidneys started to be affected so we took him off. No sign of the cancer coming back at this time. It was a life saver! Anything specific you want to know? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > What Is The Best Possible Food?

Toby Got food?     Barked: Mon Jan 21, '13 5:52pm PST  my Toby is doing great on The Honest Kitchen and my other 2 eat Orijen and canned Weruva and Evangers. Have you tried ordering online? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Toby Got food?     Barked: Sun Jan 20, '13 5:24pm PST  I am really confused again. What's wrong with feeding canned food? Toby gets the Honest Kitchen dehydrated raw food, Tessie and now our new dog get half kibble, half canned. From everything I have read a raw or canned food is much healthier for dogs and especially cats than a diet of straight kibble. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Are all mobile spay/neuter clinic vets really idiots? *Rant*

Toby Got food?     Barked: Sat Jan 19, '13 7:29am PST  I am really confused here, too. You say mobile clinics now you say the vet comes from out of state and does 5 in the office? A lot of vets think that pain meds are harmful because if the dog feels no pain they may do something to re-injure themselves. She shouldn't be jumping on the bed or playing very much with stitches or post-spay anyway. And if there's an infection why did your vet put in stitches? Surgical glue is widely used nowadays, even in human medicine. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Toby Got food?     Barked: Tue Dec 11, '12 8:12am PST  If you have faith in this vet's medical practices (besides immunization practices) I would stay with them. Rabies is the only vaccination I know of that is required by law. Just do the others when you are comfortable. A lot of vet's do not practice or agree with Dodds etc, although you can look up the American Animal Hospital vaccination guidelines and show that to them. They might be more receptive. Guidelines are for every 3 years after core vaccinations. Rabies are either yearly or every 3 years depending on which your county allows and what you prefer. I would never skip the rabies vaccination unless medically neccesary. If your dog accidently bit or scratched someone and was not up to date on rabies, a lot of counties will insist on euthing the dog to be tested for rabies. If medically exempt the vet will write a letter of exemption. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
