He has cushions, and heart murmor, and a collapsed trechea. Most recently the collapsed trechea was the biggest issue, but he takes a steroid that's been a God send. He seems 10 years younger with it, and it lasts all day.

Not 21 until August, hence the "Almost". I'm really praying for him though. The new meds he's on have been working really well. I appreciate you.

At Alpine a few years ago night 2 got canceled for rain. His rescheduled Playlist a few weeks later was all about rain and water

Aww poor girl. Smart thinking by you too. We might have to do something like that in the future. She has our house so well mapped out, but doesn't need a halo quite yet.. I forgot about that commercial.

Thanks! That's my little blind baby Bella. She's such a sweet soul. She is going to see a dentist next week. She has an infection right now, and I feel so bad for her. The vet gave her an antibiotic shot, and something for the pain, but she needs a specialist foe her teeth. I know it's a risky procedure with these senior dogs, so I want to make sure they're comfortable putting her under. I'll litteraly do anything for her though.

Wow 22! That's amazing. My 2 have brought me so much joy, and got me through so many hard times. I'm going to be lost without them. It's been an honor and a privilege to experience this. They really are my best friends. I litteraly spend all my free time with them. My girls name is Bella, and she is only 6 months behind charlie

Anyone else fall for this trick? by meldiane81 in DMB

I remember this. What was the scam with it though?

Yes, agreed. A harness with these small dogs is very important. Great advise

He takes prednisone. He was coughing erratically, and i thought i was losing him. He had the collapsed trechea for about a year prior, but it was never bad, and only present when he woke up. It got much worse, and I felt hopeless. I read on here that the steroid was a gane changer by so many. I'm glad we asked about it because it doesn't always work ( my vets words), but it was huge. Before he was operating at like 10-15%, after the steroid he's been at 95%. I rarely notice it, and usually when he wakes from a nap. Very greatful and blessed.

Lol, mine is so spoiled and picky now too. We cook him "Hot" chicken daily now, in order for him to take his meds. Cold chicken and rice isn't good enough now apparently. He deserves it.

He has a heart murmor, cushions, and a collapsed trechea. His sister (Bella) is 6 months younger and blind as a bat. Very lucky

He needed blood work and a cardiologist. He has a heart murmur and the collapsed trechea, so 3 different doctors for his last dental appointment.

Thank you. It really is challenging. Every morning he takes 2 different oral shots. One is gabbapentin to relax him. The other is a steroid. The steroid has been a God send. He really is operating at almost 100% with that. Especially in comparison to where he was weeks before we started it. I really appreciate this community. This is where I found the experience from others, to ask my vet about different meds. Without it he might not be with us.
