    Brathanacol

    Glacier, I have heard of an old, old drug called Brathancol, I think, that does wonders with urine control and spine issues. It worked wonders with a kitty I owned with spine damage......it is hard to come by, but it worked!

    You are such a good doggie mommie! ((((((((((((((((Glacier)))))))))))))))

    Oh this is such good news! She looks like such a sweet girl, and she deserves to live out the rest of her life being a pampered and spoiled girl.

    Great news Tamara! So happy that this sweet girl will be around for some time yet. Looking forward to lots more pictures.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    What happened at work?

    Is being off work a scheduled or expected thing?

    Should we all buy more Jewelry?

    bethanechol (beth-an-e-coal) goes by the brand name Urecholine or Duvoid but I'm sure it's available as a generic too. When I worked stroke and spinal cord rehab we used to give it to patients with urinary retention, to get their bladder muscle to contract/empty.

    How was Pirate girl's first day after the DES dose? Could you give her some petting for me, please?

    She was dry overnight, but I went to bed really late so she wasn't in her crate for too long! She leaked a small amount this afternoon while napping in the shop, but way less than a couple days ago. There was no puddle underneath her, just a bit damp. I think it's working!

    She's outside in the big yard for the first time right now. She's moving really well. Metacam rocks! I'll have more pics soon.

    It's a pity about metecam, it didn't do anything for our Jess and Mist. Made no difference at all and I gave up on it. It's supposed to be the best stuff too.

    Good to know it's helping Pirate though and that her bladder issue is resolving.
    If she ever gets cystitis, put cranberry juice in her water. Our Jess has it all the time now after problems with cystitis which just used to come back after her anti-biotics finished but she hasn't had a problem since she's been having some cranberry...and I'll take the liberty of pinching some myself as well, haha.
    Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole.
