Our pet children can develop various diseases, some very serious and when this happens, the pet parent immediately calls and makes an appointment to their veterinarian for a diagnosis of what is wrong with their pet child. Once the condition is determined the veterinarian will prescribe medications that pertains to the situation, and sometime that can cost more money than we expected, but what else is there to do. Some pet parents are aware of homeopathic treatment, but the ones that are not, much controversy is involved in the homeopathic dog meds mainly because the awareness was not available. Many supplements and herbs have proven to be very beneficial because of the natural treatments resulting by thinning the ingredient of the substance that is causing the problem.

I would guess that sometime pet parents get tired of hearing about dogs getting arthritis and having difficulty walking, going up and down stairs, jumping into the family vehicle, and most likely, lack of desire in playing, but it is a fact, particularly in older dogs. Arthritis has been a painful disease for decades and can affect dogs just as it affects humans. There are many types of medication available to alleviate pain and sometime may possibly cure the disease for a period of time, but unfortunately it always appears once again. This is a difficult process for the pet parent to accept the difficulty their dog is having moving around and perhaps the disease may take over before treatment, or perhaps unnoticed which is not uncommon.

For the pet parent to assist in helping the arthritic dog, there are various physical aids to choose from in helping their dogs mobility care with a dog mobility leash that is placed behind their front legs. This will take pressure off while walking and getting up and down, but depending on the severity of the onset of arthritis in your pet, there are several ways of placing a dog mobility leash to allow dogs with weak front legs to maneuver around, as they once were able to do. A complete body support system that works very well to help support the front and back end of the dog’s body that is comfortable and adjusts quite easily. This type of support has been recommended for dogs recovering from surgery and going through rehabilitation, and do not forget, weight control is always suggested for the arthritic dog. Be Happy!

The pet child cannot tell their pet parent that their joints hurt, and how painful it is when walking or getting up and down from lying on the floor, or their bed. Aches and pains is something that comes from aging and sometime not being as healthy as they should be, will start bothering the pet child. Your pet does not have to be young or old, crippling can come at any age, that is why the pet parent should keep an eye on their pet and how they react to things involving any movement.

Dogs are no different in needing exercise to keep in shape and stay healthy avoiding medical problems, just as much as their pet parents need to exercise. They have health insurance, but does your dog. Pet insurance will relieve the strain of large medical bills. If dogs have a large yard to play and run in, that is great, but what about the dogs who live in an apartment and only go outside to smell the roses.

Large dogs particularly need to have at least 30 minutes of exercise once a day, but it is recommended twice a day would be better. Exercise keeps your dog’s joints lubricated, which in turn can prevent arthritis that usually affects large dogs, and can be crippling if left unattended. Exercise keeps pet parents’ minds stimulated, and it does the same for their dog. Enjoy life together to avoid possible health problems. Be Happy!

My Boy Pope

c eothe — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 17:38:36 +0000

As each day passes, I find myself becoming more afraid of what to wake up to the next morning. Pope has very bad arthritis, hip dysplasia, and neurological problems and has had this for over several years. In four more months he will be 14 years old and is a most wonderful companion and friend. We have gone through many obstacles together, losing one of his pet parents, moving to another state and having to accept the idea that we no longer live in the country. He was so happy there because he could run and play on several acres of land, and chase silly little animals that would annoy him. We were not use to neighbors being so close and little mutts barking at him every time he went out into our backyard. Going through his medical problems has not been easy, but somehow he knows his limitations. He takes four pills in the morning and two at night, but he will only swallow two of them in the morning. Camouflaging the rest of his pills is the only way he will swallow them otherwise he spits them out. He is so funny watching him smelling the ones he is suspicion of. Therefore, I got smart and started to put the pills in peanut butter. That was okay for a while, but then he got the ‘runs’. So then he had to take another pill he did not like.

Frustration began to sit in because he has to take his medicine to help him move around a little better. So I really got smart this time - Armor potted meat. Talk about a success, this was it. I take a small amount of potted meat, stick the pills inside and make a meatball. Down the hatch they go! During the day he sleeps most of the time, however, at night when we are in the family room together, unbelievably, he wants to play. He has his favorite toys and will stare at me as if to say, “get with the program Mom, its play time.” This is the part that really amazes me; I am thinking to myself what is going on here? One day I feel he is not going to make it and then he surprises me. However, after sleeping most of the day, he needs some exercise so this is his way. Exercising lubricates his joints, and that is what he needs to relieve some of the pet joint pain that he experiences. He knows when it is time to stop and lay down to rest. Then here comes his second wind. From the middle of his body to the front of his chest, he is very strong. It is his hips and back legs that are becoming very weak, and is more noticeable every day. In the meantime, we just do what we can to make him comfortable. Be Happy!

Happy Easter to Pet Parents and Their Pets

Petguardianangel and Petsafetyblog wish all a Happy Easter

I was just thinking the fun we had as children growing up and having Easter egg hunts on Easter Sunday. All the preparations ahead of time dying eggs, coloring them and creating delightful Easter baskets with goodies galore. Please keep in mind that dogs love chocolate, but do not give them any because it can be fatal. You do not want to experience a tragedy that could have been avoided. Give them one of their treats they love instead.

Just because we are not children anymore does not mean that this tradition should stop, and I am quite positive that it is still a celebration that will go on … Happy Easter , and Be Happy!
