That back of your 7yr old could be a concern. Did the vet suggest Xrays? I have been "blessed" with the only dog in BRT history so far that has been diagnosed with DLSS - degenerative lumbosacral syndrome. How-ever we do well with physio, water work, chiro (as needed), and I do limit his jumping.
Now onto the LP for Remy. Lots of threads here on LP and stuff you can do. Briefly though seriously consider a joint supplement for her, and actually Sammy could benefit as well. Cosequin or Dasuquin are two here that I've read about. I use a supplement made by a different manufacturer here in Canada.
Somewhere I've posted lots of remedial exercise suggestions for dogs with LP. It's no big deal if there are no clinical signs, and there is so much you can do to help the pup have a happy life for a long time.
Hugs to your beautiful Remy .... Razzle says he loved his Valentines' Day jaunt with Remy |
Thank you for the advice. I have been reading on the LP.. my vet recomended cosequin for both Sammy and Remy. I know some dogs like Doxies are in "danger" I guess I never worried too much about Sammy. I really like this new vet.. he seams very much on top of things.
As soon as he feels better I will have his teeth cleaned. Also the "law" has been written that NO TABLE SCRAPS ANYMORE!! This was a scare that was too close to home.
We are still struggling with his eye. He had the small ulcer that healed but because he had a "cherry eye" operation several years past he has dry eye. The drops help but sometimes the eye still looks goopy.
Aww.. and I WANT another dog??????? lol
