Susan, Why are you so afraid of Prednisone? It's not a nice drug long term, but short term should be okay. I had a golden retriever that took 5 mgs every...
Hi Susan. Again... Neural therapy might be worth mentioning too. We only had to have it done once. It got us through. I have been unable to find the info, but...
The holistic vet, Dr. Donna Kelleher, does chiropratic. She checked Zeke very carefully and said that she didn't think there was any need for it. And,...
I dunno... I go to the chiropractor often and I can feel the difference it makes!! I had my puppy there a couple times already after she was in pain. It helped...

This is my first post to this group. I have a 2 year old dane named rommel. We have been battling wobblers since this past april. I tried him on prednisone to...
Hi Liz, I$B!G(Bm sorry to hear your Dane is not well. I$B!G(Bm about to bring mine to Dr. Durkes in the next few weeks. I have also noticed a loss in...
Hey shawn It was not the wobblers for rommel that caused him to loose weight. the prednisone causes loss of weight and muscle tissue. One of the negative side...
Hi Liz. I would urge you to schedule a recheck with Dr. Durkes - or at least talk to him on the phone. My Chili required two rounds of implants. The first...
Hi Shawn. My Chili was quite skinny. he had other things going on... but maybe it is due to the muscle wasting. If he is eating well, with a good appetite, I...
I've also noticed that, at times, Zeke looks a bit "gaunt". There are times that he eats as though he can't get enough and times when he isn't interested....
Hi, Have you talked to Dr. Durkes again? Our 6 and 1/2 year old Dobe has had ups and downs since he had the beads in early January. Have you made a removable...
Hi All, I had to take Trax our (Dobe) to our regular vet again yesterday (because of lumps). All I can tell you is that he is skeptical about claims of...

Just wanted to welcome you to the group :) We've not had the bead implants done, so I can't comment on that, but there are many here who have and I'm sure...
I got to talk to Dr. Durkes today and rommel is back on a low dose of prednisone and I made him another collar. I have heard other stories from people that had...
Hi Liz, If it were me, I would feed Rommel anything I could get him to eat. In our case that would mean a lot of people food. You know, meats and vegies are...

Hi Shawn. The satin balls are a recipe that is passed around a fair bit among Dane owners. It is a mixture of raw ground beef, cream, raw eggs, total cereal, ...
I hope I can explain this correctly. Photon therapy is a form of low level laser therapy that is still not widely used because it's fairly new - so a lot of...
