  Tara W. asked:

  UPDATE: I picked a local vet and a specialist based on everyones comments. Thank you all so much! I appreciate all the suggestions and stories that helped me make my decision! Im looking for a new vet for my dogs. As everyone with dogs know, dogs have common medical issues unique to their breed. My dog has been limping heavily on and off for over a year. The vet I go to now has looked at his legs and x-rayed them and everything looks fine. So they gave us some vitamins for joints and some pain pills. But its not working. I did research on his breed last week and found out that the most common issue for my dog is a syndrome dealing with their neck/spine. That syndrome can cause dogs to limp and gain weight quickly. Before the limping started, my dog went from 80 pounds to 125 in one winter. They tested his thyroid and it was fine. They said to cut his food. We feed him as if he is an 80 pound dog and he hasn’t lost anything. Throughout all these visits, not once did they mention this syndrome that is the most common medical issue for the breed of my dog. I am not sure if he has it, but he shows all the signs in the list. I need to take him in somewhere. So, Im looking for a vet clinic that is very knowledgable about all dog breeds and their specific issues... or at least not so busy and rushed to take the time to figure it out. Any suggestions?

  It’s complicated finding the right Vet, no doubt. My girl was having multiple issues and someone at the dog park told me about Springtime Supplements. Holy smoke has it helped her recover. She uses Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Longevity. I highly recommend you look at their website and call them. Amazing! www.springtimeinc.com

  Jan K. asked:

  Hello. My beautiful, precious six year old brindle girl has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the radial joint/wrist. She has survived an autoimmune/neurologic disease that's almost unheard of in bullmastiffs, and medication she is on may make it tough to do conventional cancer treatments. My vet wants us to consider all options before making a decision. Without treatment we have weeks at best. With amputation and chemo we may buy a year, but I am not sure she is a good candidate for amputation. I am curious as to what others have done faced with this situation....has anyone gone the amputation/chemo route? Anyone done the metronomic protocol using oral chemo/pain meds/antibiotics? (I think that's the combo). We x-rayed her organs - all clear. No fracture in the bone - my vet says it's pretty early. We lost our boy at seven last year to a cancer of unknown origin, so this is particularly devastating. At the end of the day, I know it's a personal decision - and her comfort is key. This was unexpected and has caught me off guard. For now she doesn't know she is sick. She is limping a little, but she is happy and greedy as ever. Also - anyone have a great source for getting deramaxx? We use KV vet supply for her cyclosporine but they are out of stock on Deramaxx.....my vet is awesome about faxing RX's to whereever I can get a good price. Thanks in advance.....Jan and Rhoda-Bug

  I really wish you the best in whatever decision you make....just in case - there is a FB site GingerLead Dog Support and Rehab Harness that is out of this world should you need it....it is a sling that will help you help your dog to walk while recovering....There is also a company called Springtime that has natural supplements for humans, horses and dogs....while they don't have deramaxx - we have used them for years for Fresh Factors...(www.springtimeinc.com or 800-521-3212)....they're worth checking into....meantime, you're in our prayers.

  Tori L. asked:

  My little Loki bear kept yelping occasionally when I touched his leg and sometimes just randomly and he will limp for a bit and then he's fine. I took him to the vet this morning and they told me he has a dislocating knee cap. She said that it can be common in small dogs but most don't make the fuss loki does. He is a giant sook. She said normally they wouldn't do surgery because the surgery is quite painful and that he should rest up for 2 weeks. She said to keep him fro. Jumping up and down from the couch/bed and not let him off the leash on walks. My questions are... does any one else's pappy suffer from the same knee cap problem? Whos had the surgery and any suggestions on how to keep him from jumping? I have ramps and stair cases for him but he doesn't use them!

  

  Kris N. replied:

  One of my paps has this in both back legs. I have been trying to avoid the surgery knowing that it would be twice the pain for him. I started giving him this supplement about a year ago and he now bounces around like a bunny. Just a thought. Best of luck to you. smile emoticon http://www.springtimeinc.com/.../advanced-hip-and-joint...

  Daniel R. asked:

  Can anyone recommend flea treatment for dogs. There are so many. Which one works best?

  

  Cory D. replied:

  Not to argue but Trifexis is to strong of a combination of three toxic substances. I don't know how old Sassy is but Trifexis is very dangerous for older dogs. I give my dogs an all natural wafer called Bug Off (springtimeinc.com) that I crumble in their food,also i bath them with an all natural shampoo and rinse from fostersandsmith.com,haven't had a flea in 2 yrs. For heart-worms I use Parasite Dr from NativeRemedies.com. It's to late now but Pet Smart carries Natural Defense by Sentry. You need to treat your house along with Sassy. Good luck.
