animal teeth brushing information and more

video on teeth brushing etc.. for your pet

videos at petside on all subjects like teeth brushing,nail trimming,cleaning dogs ears.Very use full site:

They have tabs that can go to photos,vet questions & answers and much more.
The vet part has a list a-z with labels including hip dysplasia..

My dumpster kitten

The reason I ended up on this site was because my cat who was spayed a few months ago, is now turning into a round meatball!
I was not sure how on earth with 2 other cats to feed them all and help her to lose weight.
But, this site gave me some good advice, I will return to it..
My cat was found in a dumpster with 6 other newborns still with the ambilical cord.
Wrapped in a garbage bag.
My 21 year old son,heard them walking by,took them out and of course brought them all to me!
So,I got a crash course on raising kittens which includes bottle feeding every few hours,using a warm wash cloth after eating to teach them to urinate, it was all kinds of not so fun learning.
But, well worth it in the end because we found them all good homes and "baby" who was the runt(I almost lost her during weaning),is now my pride n joy. She says "hello" when you walk by,and cuddles all the time.
Which is not so light to be doing these days.

I have links,videos,information on fho surgery both pre and postop on my golden retriever Dakota. There's also links to other sites both informational and fun.

dr on video explaining who gets hip dysplasia,what is hip dysplasia,symptoms of hip dysplasia and the diagnosis of hip dysplasia

I'm not sure how your dog is doing right now, but I want to let you know that if he is clumsy,has a wobbly gait which means that he has a swish to his walk, walks with his head down alot (because he is walking on his front half)which my Dakota did. He had great muscle mass in the front half of him because of this,but very little in the back. Won't even attempt to jump up on your furniture, which is good but at the same time can show you that he doesn't want to use them back limbs.Goes to move your hand with his nose if you are trying to rub those back limbs in the hip joint area (because he is sore,so he is protecting them).sometimes they will literally stumble going up stairs etc.. Now I am not saying that this is definately hip dysplasia in your animal because i am no doctor but those are the things that went on with him and he had severe hip dysplasia.Just ideas,things to watch for and ask your vet about if you are noticing any of this in your animal... These are things that I noticed when we had Dakota. Now, it was a little different with him because he had just been neutered so we weren't sure if things were going on with that at first or something else was going on until a few weeks had passed by and he just wasn't healing like we thought he should be so we made him a vet appointment thank goodness. If you are here, I am assuming that the reason has to do with a possible surgery coming up and you want to learn more and make the right decision. I am so glad that you are doing this!! First of all make sure that you read on the choices of surgeries if you haven't talked to your vet on that yet. I am still worried that maybe the complete hip surgery may have been the way to go for him instead of the fho surgery. He is out of pain which was my goal of course and it will never come back so I am told. But, he has such a swish still when he walks and pretty clumsy still. I know it is early yet and hopefullly these things will still take care of themselves with time and muscle growth. Just something to think about if you have a larger dog like I do. Research,Research,Research you have one chance. Make sure that you make the right one for you and your loved pet.
