Oswald is still taking prednisone every other day. (He's been on prednisone for almost two months.) And, I bought more rugs last week so he can get around more...
Amy, Could you remind me what kind of dog Oswald is and how old he is. Also, besides the prednisone what other things you have tried. Barb ... From: princept1...
Dear Amy: I have just joined the list about a week ago as my year and a half old Dane has just been diagnosed with Wobblers. I was devastated, and this...

Hi Jacqueline, Oswald started showing symptoms last Fall. He was referred by his long-time vet to a neurologist in November. We got him in for an examination...
Hi Amy, I kind of thought it might be a Dobe (because of the age). They tend to get Wobbler's later in life than the Danes, Boxers, etc.. We did the beads...

Hi all... Mojo's doing really well (Great Dane, 4.5 yrs). I've gradually brought his prednisone dosage down to 1/3 of what he was originally prescribed: he's...
I don't think the frequency of the pred matters, but be careful to wean as you withdraw him. You really should have directions from the vet who put him on it....
I'm not sure there is a right or wrong way to administer Prednisone. Theories abound. However, I know that Shelby is administered her Prednisone every other...
Barb brings up a good point. Do not adjust the dose without input from Mojo's medical provider. I've taken the steps I've taken under the advice of Shelby's...
Just wanted to assure everyone that I am lowering his dosage under the vet's instruction/supervision, I just wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts about...
Trina -- I knew I forgot something. I give Shelby several supplements in the morning -- along with a Pepcid AC. Aproximately an hour later, she gets her ...
Oswald is on 10mg every other day. We spoke with his vet yesterday about raising it to 10mg every day. I'm hoping we hear back today and get the prescription...
Amy -- Sounds like you're in communicaton with your vet and he can advise you best. As for Oswald's "new" behavior -- Dobermans are famous for "working it."...
Yep, I am sure you know about Dobes working it. Don't even want to tell you how well Trax has periodically trained me LOL! Lucky for us humans we eventually...
"The raw diet has be wonderful. Both dogs (Mo and Katy, 2.5 yrs) enjoy it immensely (but I have to separate them when they eat, because Katy is slower to eat...
Sandy: Thanks for reminding me about the Pepcid. I've heard about using it in conjuction with Prednisone. I'll ask the vet. Amy: About Oswald's "bunched"...

Hi All, I just joined this group yesterday. Tristan, my 9.5 yr old dobe, has tentatively been diagnosed with wobblers. I say tentatively because, unless I am ...
Hi Geri, Have you researched the gold beads? I was a real skeptic and my 7 and 1/2 year old Dobe was diagnosed (and confirmed with a myleogram) as having...
Hi Geri: I have done extensive research on the gold beads and will be taking my 1 1/2 year old Dane to have them done the last of Feb. You need to look into...
