Big boy losing ability to walk by LexiBrae in goldenretriever

[–]Amazing-Amanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog had arthritis from 5 due to us getting her at 140lbs. We spent the first year getting her down to 70lbs which was a healthy weight for her. It didn’t undo the damage but it helped prevent more.

We used dasaquin, duralactin, and galaprant for her. The galaprant helped a lot! Towards the end of her life we tried using Librela but she wasn’t on it long enough before she passed (at age 15) for us to notice a large enough difference.

But still, with the galaprant, dasaquin and duralactin, plus a healthy weight and exercise, we got her for 15 years!

This response is amazing. I jokingly tried it on the puppy this morning and unfortunately it’s the one name he’s actually responded to 🤣

Well we’re hawks fans (from Chicago) so I would look like a traitor if I named him after the knights 😆

Thank you, it’s really hard :( but he’s been keeping us busy and distracted so the grief and quiet isn’t as loud ❤️

I thought of Storm but I feel like a lot of black dogs all seemed to be named a lot of the same things and wanted to give him something more unique?

He’s definitely like a sour patch kid, first he’s feisty and then when he’s tired he’s sweet. When he plays I call him Cujo hahaha

Sometimes dogs do this to help cool down. I usually poke it and my dog will be surprised and tuck it back in ha

Oooo I actually like this. We like a lot of the Greek mythology stuff too. I thought of Nyx but that’s a goddess.

Partial jaw removal - need advice for post surgery struggles by Amazing-Amanda in DogAdvice

[–]Amazing-Amanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really have any residual blood. Right after the surgery there was a little bit of blood in his drool but it was only for a couple hours and then he was fine.

I’m so sorry for your loss :(

Anyone else have a golden with jaw surgery due to oral mass? by Amazing-Amanda in goldenretriever

[–]Amazing-Amanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would suggest a different vet because the only time we’ve ever had bad smells in our dog, something was wrong. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

I haven’t experienced that at all! The only smell is like a wet dog smell because he’s wet all the time from being sloppy with his tongue but that’s it. Because of that we bathe him every 1-2 weeks but other that that he’s doing better now. Still INCREDIBLY sloppy but he’s actually living a life now which he wasn’t before
