No problem – as I said please don’t feel obliged. This is just something I like to do to help other poor sick animals
Aly12MemberHappy birthday Bev – have a lovely day
Aly12MemberThe mini schnauzer, Dusty, belongs to my friend. It is quite a sad story about Dusty. She had a stroke at 8 months old and her back legs do not work properly. She also has hypothyroidism and has to take a lot of tablets. At the moment she is getting accupuncture at Glasgow Vet School as her muscles are very tight – this helps her a lot. Her hip joint is not right and her knees are frilly. She is waiting on blood test results coming back from America for Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6. My friend is really worried about her at the moment and is hoping she doesn’t have to make a decision in the near future but she says she could not condemn her to a life of pain. Dusty’s back legs fold into each other when she is walking or if she is running she bunny hops – she can run fast when she wants to ;D. She is now 4 years old and we are all praying that something can be done to help her a little more.
Aly12MemberThinking of you and your family. Take care
Aly12MemberThis is Molly’s portrait
Aly12MemberI have just had a portrait of Molly done by Mel and it is absolutely gorgeous
Aly12MemberOh that is good that he is feeling better today. :happy: Perhaps he had a 24 hour bug
Aly12MemberHope he feels better tomorrow. Perhaps he has picked something up on his walks. Keeps us updated on how he is doing
Aly12MemberSo sorry to read about your mum Bev. I hope her passing is as pain free as possible. Please take care of yourself
Aly12MemberMillie is lovely
Aly12MemberI have just seen this today and am sorry to see Val has left. I hope she is alright. I don’t know why she has left but I hope no-one has upset her on here.
Aly12MemberThanks Val – you are right Glasgow Vet School is one of the best. My photo is of Molly and I doing the sponsored doggy dawdle for them last year and we are hoping to do it again this year. She has been tested for pancreatitis but that was clear. I just hope something can be done to help in even a small way. My friend is hoping to emigrate to Australia and take her “baby” with her but I just can’t see that happening. I know she will not go if she can’t take the dog with her and if the vet says she can’t go she will wait until the time comes for Dusty not to take any more. She really wants the best for Dusty and has said that she could not condemn her to a life of pain. :'(
Aly12MemberThanks for your reply Val. The dog is insured but she has deteriorated so much recently. Her back legs don’t work properly inasmuchas they cross over when she is walking or she bunnyhops due to the stroke. Her hip joint is not the correct shape and her knee is frilly. Her bones were malformed before birth. She is on Tramadol painkillers but when the vet touches certain parts of her leg or back she is still in pain. I did read on the net that bone marrow transplants could be involved. I think this may have been a puppy farm dog as my friend’s son met the lady halfway at a service station 4 years ago at Christmas. I feel so sorry for my friend as this is her “baby” and she is just so worried that they won’t be able to help her. I do believe the vet is really trying to help. Glasgow Vet School is a well known establishment and if it wasn’t for them Molly wouldn’t be here with us today.
Aly12MemberTicks usually start off black and when they feed they change to big white bodies due to all the blood they suck if you don’t catch them.
Aly12MemberThanks Val. I am going to try to look at it in a different way from now on – I now know Molly is not in the wrong here.
