these are wonderful stories....i love reading them.

Hi, I'm just wondering how everyone accquired their furbabies? I'll tell u my story, I got Rocky the end of Sept. last year. I rescued him through his original owners..who had taken sick. And they were looking for a new home for him. A gentleman my hubby works with knew the breeder who...

Help, I currently have a 4 year old, who's not well socialized. He even growled today at a 90 year old lady. But I wrote that off as being upset we were at the vet's and he just got his nail's clipped..which he wasn't to happy about. But I corrected him and made him "down". I need some...

Well as you know I'm going through the same thing, Rocky's heart is twice the size that it's supposed to be. His med's do help. They won't stop the disease, but Lily could get another 1 to 2 years. Think of it as the heart is a balloon being blown up till it's about to pop, once the balloon...

Hello from Toronto, WOW you have your hands full..I hope to see some pic's soon. Rocky's starting to put on a bit of weight lol but I think it's the food I mix in with his kibble and treats, but unfortunately I can't let him run free like that..lol I don't have 22 acres and he has a bad heart...

put some tomato juice in their food...i heard that works...also but chiprock(drywall) down on the grass, helps bring it back. LOL I take rocky under my deck (it's 2 stories high) so i don't care if the grass gets ruined there.

well my rocky has cardiomyapathy (he's only 4)...his heart is actully enlarged. Low sodium a must. I'd watch her waistline, it won't help any if she's overweight (just like a human) From what I know about dog's diets: 1. Salt, can not be digested by a dog, so leave out salt whenever...

were there any symptoms or tell tale signs? No, there wasn't even a heart murmur (probably is but out of audiotory range) I took him to get his nails clipped at the vets and he "fainted". Well after an ECG and x-ray, the vet noticed his heart is actully twice the size it's supposed to be...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through cardiomyapathy or is currently going through it? My baby was diagnosed with it about 2 months ago, and everything I read is doom and gloom. His heart is actully 2 times bigger then what it should be. Just wondering if the vet is being...

Hi everyone from Toronto, Ontario Canada. My household is quite a busy one..i have 2 skinkids and 1 boxer. My boxer is named Rocky, and he's the heaviest lapdog I've ever owned. Rocky just turned 4 in April. And was also diagnosed with dialated boxer cardiomyapathy :( his heart is bigger...
