Hi Ellen, my name is Carol. We have a dane named Waldo who is 20 months old now. Back in march I started to notice him turning out at the hocks and knees when...
Renee: I also had Josie's thyroid checked by my regular vet and it looked normal. Unless you have it done by Dr. Dodds, it may never show up on bloodwork....
Okay, so I bought a harness for Maggie on Friday night and yesterday I noticed that she has gnawed almost completely through it! Brat. I guess she's not...
Renee: How funny! It must have been the full moon because Maddison chewed completely through her harness last night, also!!! Jacqueline ... From: Waskiewicz,...
Ellen: Hi! My name is Jacqueline Morrette and I have been blessed with a 20 month old Female Dane (Maddison) who has wobblers. I say 'blessed" because she...
Carolyn: I second this! My Maddison is so sweet and gentle-she just loves life. I have never seen a Dane like her. Jacqueline ... From: Carolyn Armanini...
Hi Jacqueline. Why wouldn't it show up? I have had thyroid testing done myself and thought it was fairly straight forward. I am taking Jenny in for an exam and...
Susan: I have no idea, except that the panel that Dr. Dodds does is complete and has a zillion values on it. I think that there are just so many things that...
A friend of mine has her danes bloodwork sent there. Swears by her. I didn't have to do that with Piper, my vet sent it out to get her results and that's...
I have been in contact with another Dane owner who is not on the list who has a similar story to share. Their dog's name is Darwin and he also was given a...
I have heard of people sending blood for titers to her lab... I will have to check with our regular vet (he is very aware of Jean Dodds work). for the time...
Hey yeah, waldo almost chewed through his too. My husband fixed it with a grummet. If you know anyone has a gun for it. Or you could take it to a tack shop....
Those of you who have chewing going on (chewing harnesses, etc.) might want to try a product called Chew Guard. This is keeping my Greyhound from eating my...
It's been one week today that my sweet Francis had his gold beads. He's completely done with the prednisone tomorrow! When we got down to 40mg a day he had a...
hey hey, just thought id tell you guys about this free debt consolidation site that reduced my monthly payments by damn near half, no more worries about bills!...
Joan: Instead of looking for conventional meds to treat his liver, try milk thistle. If you keep giving him medicines, his liver will continue to be damaged,...
Thanks Jacqueline, after reading about this "med", it's really not a medication, my mistake, it's a supplement made by Cosequin that helps increase the ...
I must admit Jacqueline, this is the first I've ever heard of using a pharmaceutical drug to detox the liver. I would suspect like most others that it won't do...
I agree. It just alarms me that even though the "research" states that there are literally no side effects, it still must be prescribed. I would just use the...
Supposedly aspartame has a heavy liver load and should not be used with alcohol (although not potentially fatal like acetominophen). Milk thistle is definitely...
As Dr. Durkes uses the "alternative" method as gold bead to treat wobblers, I would think that he would tell me if this was not a good thing to use. He was...
Guys, Denosyl is not a pharmaseutical, it's a supplement........ *****Denosyl is a nutritional supplement that has been shown to increase gluthathione levels...
I love Dr. Durkes, and he is a very caring, helpful man, but surprisingly he does not know as much about other alternative treatments as I would think. ...
Joan, I agree with you. What may be right for some may not be right for others. I read everyone's opinions and ask questions but I listen to what my vet...
If this is the stuff I am thinking about....it contains the exact same stuff we use in pepper spray/mace. And it does stop the chewing. ... From: Terry...
Aimee, Ultimately I listen to what my vet says too. I read about things, and then run them past him. We saved two of my dogs' lives that way (treating ...
Joan: I didn't mean to step on your toes....so sorry! I have been through so much with my girls and with my boy that died last year and I am sometimes overly...
Susan: I agree. When I was there with Maddison, I expected to see a clinic that was full of homeopathy, natural supplements and nutritional food. However, I...
