    Balding?

    That's it, I'm sure of it! I had even forgot to mention the skin turning black in the affected areas. Thanks SO MUCH! I even found a very informative article about it- http://www.dvmnews.com/dvm/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=53802 In hind sight, I have noticed that when the sun is out, Gunny...

    Balding?

    My Gunny has begun shedding to the point of baldness in some areas. He has patches mostly around his sides, and a couple on his back that are nearly bald or completely bald in spots. Our vet checked his thyroid, and though his numbers were low, they didn't feel they were dangerously low. As a...

    Limping- Vets Have No Clue

    Yes, he was tested, though they gave him a massive amount of antibiotics anyway, just in case. It hasn't been bad lately, but still comes and goes. We have an appointment set up with an orthopedic Doc at the Vet school here in town next week. Hopefully they will have an answer.

    Limping- Vets Have No Clue

    We had several hundred dollars worth of x-rays that showed nothing, they even checked his paws. I am leaning towards arthritis too, but someone else mentioned that being caught on an x-ray. Is that something the vet should have seen?

    Limping- Vets Have No Clue

    That sounds like it, but the vet couldn't or wouldn't say for sure. Yes, he does like it when we rub it.

    Limping- Vets Have No Clue

    Gunny has been limping for a couple of months now. It comes and goes. He has been xrayed several times and from different angles, but nothing shows. It seems to be worse when he has been laying down for a while and then gets up, but it comes and goes. He can be limping one minute and running the...

    Coughing- any remedies?

    Thaks everyone, Gunny is doing much better. The kennel was NOT in the Wichita area, Junction City to be exact.

    Coughing- any remedies?

    Thanks. The vet never mentioned the coughing pill, though he didn't start coughing until a day after he saw the vet. The honey is a good idea too. Our other boy Zac seemed to have some sniffles the other day too, so he was put on the same antibiotic as a precaution, though he seems to be doing fine.

    Coughing- any remedies?

    We went on vacation last week, and put the boys in a local kennel. When we returned we noticed Gunny was snotting pretty bad. We took him to the vet and he has a sinus infection (form of kennel cough). THough he had been vaccinated, the vet said like human flu shots, the vaccine only covers one...

    Hiney licking = stinky mouth

    From time to time Gunny has this problem. I use a baby wipe on his butt (I feel like I am working in a nursing home), and another on his mouth. Then I get him a Breath Buster treat. That usually clears it up. It is a nasty scent.

    We bought a house!!!

    Excellent news. Home ownership is one of the greatest investments you can make. From experience I know it is very stressful, but in the end it is quite rewarding. Be sure to set aside some $ for those little expenses you now have to fix on your own. I just dropped 5 grand on a new central air...

    How does your boxer wake you up?

    Nothing subtle about Zac waking you up. It often entails him jack hammering you until you wake up, or you wake up with his face staring straight into yours.
