Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Thu Apr 25, '13 10:17am PST  Peter has done this is whole life. He's 11 now. From what I understand it's somewhat normal, if that's what you want to call it. Peter's is mild and over the years I've noticed it gets worse when my allergies act up also. There are LOTS of pollens and so forth here. So I contribute it to that. I've asked my vet about it and he says it's normal too. We get 2x yearly bloodwork, routine check ups ect..and nothing abnormal has ever come up. I find that when I cup his nose and hold his nostrils down a little that helps. And also holding their neck up and rubbing their throats help. Just wanted to add: if she is congested and is having the episodes frequently I would go to the vet. Peter only RS's a few times a month if even that at times. hope you are ok. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Food & Nutrition > What is your favorite Pet Shop

Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Mon Jan 14, '13 11:00am PST  FiFi & Fido's and now a new store called Woofgang. Woofgang sells Ziwi Peak so now I don't have to drive to Austin or order it online anymore. I go to PetCo and PetsMart still for the toys so if I see a healthy snack on sale there I will buy it. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Mon Jan 14, '13 10:57am PST  Hmmm...chips, cheese, pizza and not just the crust sometimes the real deal with the meat and cheese on it, cake, and always the "healthy" stuff I eat like salmon, green beans, baked chicken, ect.. After losing 80 lbs myself though I hardly eat the above "bad foods", but when I do Peter always wants some. He wants anything I am eating! His diet though is straight Ziwi Peak canned mixed with air dired so at least I know the bulk of his diet is healthy. my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Slipped disc possibly, does my dog have to have surgery?

Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Wed Nov 28, '12 4:07pm PST  hello. i just had surgery for peter on a calcified/ruptured disc in his neck c2-3. it has been approx one month. he is doing great now but still doing his 6 weeks post op crate rest. i had the done surgery on halloween. neck discs often times are more painful and 100% strict crate rest in combination with the meds is a must. what is your dosage of each med? is this your first episode? peter had his first episode in april that quickly healed with prednisone and tramadol. approx 1.5 weeks. now fast forward to october and his second episode was much worse and we tried the meds again for approx 2 weeks with no improvement so surgery was the best option. sometimes it does take 6-8 weeks of conservative treatment to see results so you will need to weigh out what the best option is for you. i could not wait that long this time because peter was in pain and i felt going the conservative route with the meds was not working. as far as price $5500 does seem high. we paid approx $3700 and it included the mri, surgery, 3 day stay in the hospital, meds and all follow up appointments. prices range depending on area it seems. are you also giving a tummy protector such as sucralfate? pred is very harsh on the tummy and is known to cause tummy issues. gabapentin is also a strong med. i am not sure what to say as far as surgery. only you know your dog so you may want to wait to see if the pred can bring the inflammation down. if he is still in pain despite giving tramadol and gabapentin i would talk to my vet about surgery. it also depends on how many mgs you are giving. is the gabapentin in liquid form? and how many mgs are you giving of each med? i am sorry you are going through this. i know how you feel and it was a really rough going through for me and having to also maintain my house, husband, ect.. hoping the best for you my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Tue Nov 27, '12 9:39am PST  LOVE THIS!! Go Jasper!! Exciting news indeed! Peter just had surgery for a back/neck disc issue so when this news broke it made my heart skip a beat. Loving the advancement of verterinary medicine these days my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]

Peter Parker Center of the- Universe!     Barked: Tue Nov 27, '12 9:19am PST  Peter turned 11 this past September. I notice alot more gray hair now. And he just had back/neck surgery a month ago on a calcified disc that ruptured. He had his first back episode this past April that cleared up with meds and crate rest. I imagine if he did not have these back problems he'd be more "spunky". With that said, he does feed off my energy, so there is singing and dancing everyday in my home and he loves it! When he sees me bust out a song real loud and start dancing his sprits and eyes and tail go crazy!! His fav song right now is "Gangnam Style" and he loves going outside, going for car rides and anything food related. He loves sqeaky toys and food dispencing toys too my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become pals [notify]
