Name: Peppi Age: 9 1/2 years old I have had her for 9 years and 4 months She is an American Cocker Spaniel. Currently she is fed Canidae all life stages and gets Missing Link plus some brewers yeast. Peppi has had a couple minor problems like a tumor that needed removed but not anything life threatening. She is very active and playful, she has the same energy level as she did as a puppy if not more now. You wouldn't know she is 9 years old if you met her. |
Traci, I would like to welcome you and Peppi. He sounds like he is doing really well. |
Welcome to 'Moose' and all the other older dogs that are in this little club of senior dogs. Lets try to help each other out and let each other know about anything that has helped our dogs. |
Bo is doing great. He is very active for an 11 yo. I am very happy to see him wanting to play like a puppy would. |

What a great thread...I've missed it all this time 1 Attachment(s) Attachment 137718NAME Kirby AGE 15 years HOW LONG HAVE YOU OWNED 15 years M/F Male HEALTH PROBLEMS AND WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND TO HELP Chronic ear infections that we've been fighting for years...would love to know of any natural/homeopathic remedies that any of you have found that WORK. DO YOU GIVE VITAMIN Yes He is currently eating Canidae Platinum Dry. Best food for seniors that I've found, he loves it. |
Bo, glad you are doing so well. Delsi, welcome and all I can say is you are one healthy dog for 15 yrs. That home cooking must be really working for you. Kirby, another 15 yr. old wow, welcome to you. Gingergirlsmom, my Crystal had ear problems for awhile canker powder along with various prescriptions from the vet did clear it up but they can be hard to eliminate sometimes. I'll try to find the info on canker powder and post it tonight. I'm in a hurry night now. Welcome again. :) |
All I am finding is Jack's Canker powder that you put in the ear canal and that is not what I mean at all. What I had was sent to me from England is Thornit canker powder and I was told to use it to keep problems from occuring again. I was told to sprinkle a tiny bit on the outside of the inner part of the ear....not the ear canal. I'm not sure if that helped or what my vet gave me but so good so far. I would not try it without checking with your vet first. This was the only thing I ever tried other than what my vet prescribed. I can give you the site info that was on the little bottle she sent me. www.doghealth.co.uk This can be used for cats and rabbits too. |
continued from above post just saw it myself for the first time. It's under supplements on the first line the little bottle with black lettering....click on it to get info but remember this site is in England. |
Here is a site with interesting info http://www.animed.org/dogs_aging.htm DOES ANYONE HAVE A DOG WITH AN AUGUST BIRTHDAY:confused: Going to Plan B and try to reach as many as I can via the thread and will pm those I don't hear from These are the ones I have Birthdays for, tell me if am am incorrect and anyone else please let me know when your dogs birthday is or when you would like to celebrate it.

On a sad note stefeke13's Scruffy went to Rainbow Bridge. I think most know this but just in case someone missed the post. Our hearts go out to you and after being with you for 16 years, I'm sure it is going to take time. Hugs from all of us !!! |
tye and zac are doing ok and will be 14 on the 30th of december. tye now has heart failure but is doing well on the meds, and zac has started to get a bit of a cough so could be the start of heart probs. both still run about like loonys though:D rip scruffy:( |
Thanks Sashajade, it's wonderful to hear the twins are still running around like crazy and enjoying life. Crystal was just 13 in June so your guys are just alittle older than her. She takes a few more naps but can run like lightening still too. I must add she had 9 more teeth pulled in June but it hasn't bothered her much at all, otherwise she is pretty good for old gal. Hugs to Tye and Zac:aimeeyork |
My Asti was 18 yrs.. PROBLEMS ...blind ..loss hearing and teeth decay most her problems where because of neglect from her first owner. Buddy..12 yrs no problems until this year..lots of ear infections and going death now |
