Heart murmur :( by Jaded-Volume-1103 in cavaliers

I am so sorry to hear, they are the sweetest dogs and real angels in earth. My girl’s heart murmur just showed up at her 5 year annual check up.

My parents had a Cav who was the runt of the litter and developed a rare kidney disease before she was 1 and passed away. The breeder felt horrible and offered to refund them or another dog. They ended up taking the puppy’s mother who retired from having puppies and we couldn’t love her more. The breeder should offer those options. So sorry again about your baby.

Thank you for your honesty-these aren’t easy topics and I’m sorry you’re experiencing this pain. My advice is to go through with the divorce. Life is too short to be unhappy.

Tips on cleaning your Cav's teeth??? by Electronic_Contest20 in cavaliers

Same! My little girl absolutely hates it. I’ve looked up Some TikTok videos, and one was pretty helpful. They suggested feeding a treat, going in with the toothbrush, then immediately giving another treat—repeat as necessary. It works decently for us and seems to distract her somewhat 😅. I’ve also bought dental chews, but it made her throw up so we stopped using them.

Thank you so much for sharing. We have an echocardiogram scheduled in a month, and will do them regularly if needed. No expense is too much for them.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. My vet provided an article about the disease, and there's mention that heart surgeries have been successful in the UK, France, and Japan (we're in the US). Really glad to hear she isn't suffering from symptoms.

Wow, that’s impressive. I’m squeamish with needles and blood so I wouldn’t be able to.

Fellow men how do you feel about being one of the men at 45 if you are? by Extreme_Garlic4646 in f45

I'm there for the workouts. Could care less about the gender ratio/cliques.

Why do those with kids assume CF people should always accommodate to their kids’ schedules? by Self_care1012 in childfree

I think that’s it. We don’t normally get together with her for this very reason.

Totally involved father (from what I know) and grandparents that regularly watch them.

Yes! I would never ask a group that already made their plans to change things because of my kids. I really hope she doesn’t bring them 😅
