Flash’s first couple of weeks were spent in the laundry room, getting cozy on his comforter.

Yootoobin pups
I’ve recently updated the puppy videos on YouTube. Check out Dandy and Doogie in action, along with past pet escapades caught on video!
Swift recovery?
It was nearly 2 weeks ago that Dandy displayed difficulty pain in her back and difficulty walking. After a strict regimen of crate rest and medication, she appears her normal self. She tears out of the crate every day for meal times, bouncing out the door to chase after some imaginary critter. She is even challenging Doogie to bouts of play. Of course this goes against doctor’s orders, since it hasn’t been a solid 4 weeks yet. I am looking to improve her back health with supplements (now that the meds have run out circa last weekend) which will hopefully maintain her. It is an unfortunate consequence of her breed to suffer the same condition repeatedly, especially since she has experienced 2 recurrences of disk problems and is squarely in her middle years.
A pup in pain
It is 5 days now since I took Dandy to the emergency clinic. She is in constant back pain, and it appears she is losing more of her back leg function. I have upped the number of dosages on her meds to help with the pain, but it doesn’t seem to keep her from crying all the time. Of course, the humans in the house don’t get much sleep either.
I am interested in acupuncture therapy but not sure where to start. I’m also considering natural supplements to ease the pain…however, such things don’t take effect until 3 weeks later. The doc left a check-up message on the answering machine, I may have to ask him if she can have stronger doses of painkillers. Although the pain reminds her that she isn’t allowed to walk.
