BartsDaddy 7 #1 January 3, 2005 Well I took her to the vet this morning. They scanned her for a chip and found none. The vet said she is about 3 or 4 years oldin good health and has either been spayed or had a c-section so we will wait and see if she comes in heat or not. Hopefully not, Then we will know she has been spayed. He gave her all her vaccinations and some pills for deworming incase she has them. She is back home resting nowand doing fine Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartsDaddy 7 #3 September 24, 2015 Well I will resurrect this thread. First off I love this dog dearly. She was a free dog wandering the streets. But like my Grandpa told me there is no such thing as a free dog. She has cost me at least 15 grand In vet bills. She has been stitched up 7 times treated for snakebite, had a toe amputated she chewed on after surgery for a dog fight. The last was two lumps removed that was breast cancer. Oh and 6 weeks after I took her in from the street she had 12 puppies. I got rid of all But one that I kept. Wich brings us to today she is over 2 times the weight as when I got her. But she is not getting around well her rear legs are failing her. I have been giving her metacam for arthritis for two years now. Was wondering if anybody knew of anything that might help with mobility? I understand she is old and maybe it is just coming to that time. But as long as she is happy I will do what I can to keep her that way. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

oldwomanc6 60 #5 September 24, 2015 No suggestions or advice, because only you can know what should be done, but I'm glad you had all these years with her. You made a good decision to adopt her, and I'm sure you will continue to make the right decisions for her, what ever those will be.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita 14 #6 September 24, 2015 I would check out this site, it was started by an Australian veterinarian. Several people say that is has really helped their animals. http://www.turmericlife.com.au/ They also have a Facebook group, it a private group but you just need to ask to join https://www.facebook.com/groups/415313751866609/"Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
