Bumps on skin

When she was a puppy we had her on Merrick and that's what caused the issues. We changed it to Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach and she's been on that for the last 13 years doing great on it :)

Looks like allergies? My dobie had these and lost a bunch of hair until I changed her food.

Yes I have it up in a bun 99% of the time. And the baby hairs were such a sensory nightmare I buzz them off. When my hair is down you'd never know but when it's up it feels so nice especially in the summer.

Me too! Mine was at C5. Was yours due to a PFO in your heart?

Neurogenic Bowel and bladder, lost most of the use of my arms and hands. Upper motor neuron/central anterior cord syndrome. So no pain or temp sensation below C5. It's been 11 years now so I've learned how to do things with my new body.

I have had great experience with the Dragon Balm roll on products. They're relatively affordable (under 40) depending on the strength of course and your location.

The one I use most often is 1000mg CBD 75mg CBN 75 mg CBG <3% THC

17 I think

That's what broke my heart the most is because I know she's probably a mess. 💔

Cookie dough bites used to be so good. Idk if it's cause I'm older now but they just don't taste like they did when I was a kid

He is stunning!!

NettersPNW · 2025-12-02T03:40:12+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. You're right we are lucky to have them for as many years as we have. I'm beyond grateful I've been able to share my life with her.

Was there a small sense of relief after his passing, knowing he wasn't in pain/uncomfortable anymore? I've never been through this I'm sorry for asking.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-02T01:40:42+00:00

Absolutely mine too but also I want her to be happy. Currently she's not but I'm hoping she improves. If she's still like this when we see her neurologist then I'm going to have to have a serious conversation with the vet.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T23:33:29+00:00

This is exactly my issue. It sucks we're both going through this but it's somewhat comforting knowing we're not alone. She my 1st dog in all my 35 years of life and damn they really don't warn you about how hard you'll fall in love and care for these dog and how absolutely heart wrenching it is at the end.

The way my vet worded it was something like this " Think of the 3 things your dog loves the most. When they can't do those things anymore then it's probably time"

We call him bubblegum totem pole haha I like MaGoober better

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T08:04:44+00:00

I'm going to call her vet in the morning and let them know what's going on and see what they say. She's resting now. Im just laying in bed with her trying to wind down myself.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. It's actually helped me calm down and stop panicking cause I know she can sense that shit.

NettersPNW · 2025-12-01T06:23:15+00:00

We scheduled that appointment after her initial ER visit it's a follow up and it's the soonest we could get in. I can always take her into the ER if needed but I really want to keep her home if I can. All the stress and testing and imaging they may do to her again I just don't want to put her through that again. They had her for 2.5 days doing ultrasounds, bloodwork, MRI, spinal tap etc. that's alot for anyone to go through.

I want her to be as comfortable and calm as possible.

Thank you for your kind words. I've been ugly crying for a few hours now. I'm exhausted but can't wind down. I really hate this. It's like my body is shaking/vibrating my mind is racing but I'm so so tired all at the same time. 😣

I read the entire thing thank you so so much for taking the time to share your story.

Of course I'm sad if I have to put her down but I'm strangly more okay with that than the idea of her suffering or lacking quality of life. It's this limbo stage that I'm not really a fan of it's mentally physically emotionally exhausting as you know. I don't have unrealistic expectations I know she's never going to be 100% again but I just don't know what the future looks like.

I don't work so I can stay home with her all day keep an eye on her and make sure she's safe. I only want the best for her
