My boy's new belly wrap {pics}

[anna_66]

Last month I took Angus to the vet because of his "dribbling" problem and the put him on phenypropanolamine. I really thought it was working but Monday he had a major setback. It seemed no matter where he was laying or standing there was a little puddle:(
So I got some material and made him a belly wrap. Of course he had it on all day while he was in the house & nothing:confused:
Who knows...

Anyway I snapped a few pictures. He didn't seem too embarased but I'll let you be the judge of that;)


Oh mom how could you???

Bad mommy laughing at my baby boys expense:o

When I first put it on him he was so funny, it's like he all of a sudden forgot how to move and would just stand there like a statue. Poor guy.
I really had to get him going before he felt totally comfortable walking in it.
Maybe the other day was just a bad day and he won't have to wear it all the time. I sure hope so.

Don't worry, Angus! It doesn't look that bad... kind of like a festive cumberbund! :) Maybe you should ask mom to find some really festive (and inexpensive!) material that you can change with the seasons, moods, etc. ;)

Poor Angus. Any word from the vet on how to handle it? He didn't look too thrilled in the first pics but in the last one, he looks like his normal, sweet self. Give him a big hug from me. And Duke says "woof"

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

Don't worry yet--When Oreo first started PPA it took awhile to figure out the dosage that was right for her. Our vet warned us that different dogs need different doses, and she adjusted Oreo's gradually until it was right. I hope that is what is going on for Angus, too.

He's sure a cutie!

Val, she told me that if the pills don't seem to work after he's taken them all we could get injections but then I would have to be running to the vets (I think she said every week or every two weeks-not sure which though). So I have a couple more weeks of the pills so I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

I think if he has to wear the belly wrap he will be fine with it.
And if he does I've already decided I will try to get him some festive material:D

Poor old guy. The first few he really does look like he's trying to avoid the camera. I'm sure he'll be used to it in no time and won't even notice it :) Give the sweetie a kiss from me :)

Don't worry Angus, your belly wrap makes you look even cuter, if that was possible.

Anna, what causes the dribbling? Is there something wrong with Angus, or is it just an age thing? How old is Angus? Maybe I missed a thread here and there :rolleyes:

[ChrisH]

Angus, you are such a good boy, and look pretty good in your cummerbund too! :)

Anna, that is such a good idea! Clever girl. :D

[lv4dogs]

That is a really neat idea, you could probably sell them. Just state the depends pads are sold seperate LOL
Is that what you use? Like a pad in it?

I hope it doesn't come to injections, but if it does, are they something you could do yourself? I give Cincy an allergy shot once a week, and it really is no big deal. Course ithelps that she sits very still while I do it :)

Aww Angus you are so sweet!

I hope his dribble problem gets fixed soon, or gets under control!

That is cute, festive material lol I could picture him with Christmas, Halloween..etc belly bands hehe

Give him lots of hugs and kisses from us!

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask.

Yes, I just put 1/2 a mini pad in it.

I think it's just old age. They did testing and they couldn't find any reason. He's going to be 13 in September. And no, you really didn't miss anything;)

Not a bad idea if he'd learn how to tell time:p

Angus say thanks guys. Now he doesn't feel so bad:)

[jenfer]

Hey Angus, you look very fashionable. ;)

Chilli "froze" everytime when my mom put a sweater on her, it's her way to "protest" and show my mom that she hates the outfit.:D

[shais_mom]

Poor Angus boy!!!
You look so cute!!!

Keep your chin up!!!

[Pam]

Anna you did a wonderful job creating Angus' belly wrap. I can just see it now, a fluorishing business complete with website called "Belly wraps by Anna!" I bet the orders would come flying in! :D Angus is being such a good boy not trying to take it off. What a cutie! I hope he won't always need it but if he does I know he'll carry it off with great style thanks to his clever mom! ;)

[Kfamr]

Poor boy!!
It does look nice on you, and just think! no more embarassment!
If anyone makes fun of you for it, tell em it's the new fashion and that thye need to get with it!

That little butt of yours is so cute.:p
