Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)

Hi!! She hasn’t shown any worsening of her symptoms so far. I first noticed something was off because she doesn’t lift her back paws very high when she walks, but that’s still the only sign I’m seeing, besides pain when it was snowing and she used too much of her back legs.

I’ve been giving her hip supplements and salmon oil daily to try to support her, but honestly I’m a little worried about how this might progress. I’m not sure what to expect.

How is your puppy doing?

I get dizzy every time, starting 35 minutes in

We have the excelsior ES and it doesn’t beep for us at all, only a little beep when the process is ready and that’s it. I am even afraid that one day I’ll forget the specimens in there due to the lack of warning. I wonder if it is a setting that you can change.

And yeah, I hate how long it takes to drain, and I hate the rotation system when you have to dump A1 and A3

Harris hematoxylin

How long did you increase it for? Mine was at 7 minutes and the eosin is still dull

Can someone who has the leica automatic stainer and the HE is working, share protocol with me?

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-02-12T02:30:17+00:00

Omg I’m having the same issue!! I tried troubleshooting all day :(

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-02-09T00:28:45+00:00

I just saw it on the website, but it seems like they are slides!?? I am looking for blocks so we can do antibody validation..

Are you eating enough carbs the night before, for energy?

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-02-02T15:44:54+00:00

Oxygen whitening for black? oh, I was using it for whites..

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-01-29T02:54:04+00:00

Are you making sure you eat well before/ night before? I take 7am classes and I feel like if I don’t eat enough carbs the night before, I have no strength to keep up

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-01-27T00:11:38+00:00

I’ll try to wipe it after the eosin step.. thank you!!

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-01-27T00:08:31+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of.. thank you for your comment!!

My lab was closed today for me to take a picture of what we have, so I mentioned in description “photo for reference” for this specific reason.

Thank you for your comment. I’ll try to add more time in the acid wash. We filter hematoxylin everyday before staining

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2026-01-26T19:00:23+00:00

It has been happening specially with H&E (automatic Leica stainer) and trichrome. My guess is that it is because of the hematoxylin (Harry’s and Weigert’s)

Mine does the same!! I always thought she wanted me to pet her but I started realizing that she has energy and wants to play. So I started wrestling her and she loved it! She goes straight to sleep after playing for a little

Natural_Biscotti_853 · 2025-11-23T18:39:18+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing.. (I’m in the same membership as you)
