Hi @M.F. I am so pleased for you and Snowie that you do not have to deal with seizures any more ! What breed is Snowie ? Oh that's interesting - practically the only tick and flea preventative they use here is Bravecta in the warm months which is like an edible chemical weapon. Ticks bring...

Hi @Jelinga. I don't know how long dogs can live with epilepsy but judging by the looks our vet gives us when we go through an episode, we will be blessed if he gets to 8. We are already on the drugs that can only be sourced by a vet (most drugs here in Italy are sourced from the chemist /...

I can't work out how to add this to my footer, but this is the gang (all rescues): Bess aka the naughty old bat- Border Collie - 15 y/o - Arthritis / Dementia / ropey pancreas - a criminal mastermind who has to be up and about by 8am (BST) so wakes the house up. Loves to sh*t stir and steal cat...

Thank you for the welcome @Granca. Our lab (Ella) got mobility issues at 10 and she responded really well to Gabapentin and never needed anything else for her mobility apart from the occasional hit of Joint Genie before she was diagnosed with cancer.. She absolutely loved to sunbathe and I...

Thank you for the welcome @Lab_adore !

@snowbunny Its a good job we live half way up a mountain and the few neighbours we have are only here a few months a year. Its a very rural area so its considered weird if you don't accept dogs - it would be easy to feel a bit vulnerable here but not one person has tried to even touch our front...

Thank you for the tip ! I tried it on me as a supplement and I didnt get on with it at all - seems I am one of the few people whose stomach can't manage it. I have had more joy with astragulus and truck loads of vits b and c. The joint genie supplement we use has turmeric (along with devils...

Thank you Joy - she has already told tales on our 55kg cane corso this morning, then followed him around, telling him off :facepalm: She had a jab yesterday - doing a full groom now as I type. Great to see her flexing !

Thank you for the welcome Jac ! When Bess was ten or so we had great results from acupuncture for her - she was already showing signs of not responding to things like Gabapentin (although our Lab bounced back after a month on those). Our vet specialised in pain management and she was worth her...

Thank you @Jelinga - I hope its a long way off for your dog. x

Thank you very much for the lovely welcome @Beanwood. Bess is absolutely the naughtiest of all the dogs (and we have some real players in the pack ...!)

I like this shot even though its a bit blurry - she looks so much more relaxed. I thought about posting a before shot as well but when I looked at them again, they are quite triggering. She has always been super naughty and is back to stirring up trouble with the other dogs and nicking cat...

Thank you - I honestly thought she would not see the end of the year. My avatar is a pic I took of her (Bess aka The Naughty Old Bat) a couple of weeks ago - I don't think she looks like a dog who is crippled by arthritis and dementia ?

Hi Loraseal. I am glad Hunter is feeling the benefit - isn't it a relief when something (anything ?) Helps ? We also had a jab today on a six week gap - will try and keep it to four while we are in Winter (minus five here today !). We had a couple of days on Galliprant to plug the gap. Its so...

Hi Cath and thank you very much ! We have 8 dogs of varying breeds with different conditions - so have lots of experience, good and some bad, to share. We lost our Lab two years ago to leukemia - we still feel the loss.

Hi everyone, I registered especially to comment on Librela and old dogs. My collie (sorry Lab fans !) Is 15 and has really bad arthritis as well as a dodgy pancreas. She had shown signs of dementia which we managed quite well with Senilife - she also recently had an inflamed liver and had...
