My vet said just to buy the human Glucosamine as it is the same as Sachas Blend but heaps cheaper.

I like Victoria Stillwell because she doesn't hold back on telling the owners off and I love some of her looks to the camera.
Dr Harry is too simplistic
Barbara Woodhouse is scary and reminds me of my Scottish aunts and boarding school.
and I haven't seen the rest

Just an update - Keely didn't like the underwater treadmill much so the vet gave us exercises and massage info.
Today she started walking on all 4 legs again

My vet explained that the large nerve that services the ears passes very close to the back teeth so as the teeth come through the ears go up and down.
Aren't deerhound pups beautiful and fugly at the same time.

Deerhounds are my favourite
Our deerhound did "figure of 8" zoomies around the garden with our shephard X and they managed to push the side fence over.
Photos pleeeese -or have you posted some in another thread ?

Well Keely had the stitches removed on Tuesday and the incision has healed well. But she is still not using her leg.
We took her to a Physio Vet this morning and she had a go on the underwater treadmill -which she wasn't sure about.
The vet has give us some exercises to do with her and has suggested two sessions a week on the treadmill - he did say it could take sometime before she uses her leg again.

Thanks Charles for your replies.
I must admit that I didn't take in all the information my vet told me as I was feeling really guilty. Keely has always had a few odd little habits and when she started being "touchy and protective" of her back legs I assumed it was just her. It was only in the last couple of weeks when she sometimes limped after running that I thought something was wrong.
I was reduced to tears when I saw her x-rays as I felt that I should have picked it up sooner however my vet said she still had really good muscle tone in her legs which indicated that the degeneration of the joint had only recently reached a serious state.
Today is the 9th day after surgery and the incision looks really clean and healthy. She is still not putting her foot down but she is walking and running around well. The stitches are due to come out on Tuesday so hopefully then we will be able to start some work on her leg soon after that.

I spoke to the vet yesterday and she said that Keely not putting weight on it yet is ok . Once the stitches are out and the incision is healed there is a heated hydro dog pool we can take her to that will help.
Keely is walking around on three legs and appears to be happy.
She is a small wolfhound X only 34kgs.

Hi our wolfhound x Keely had a Femoral Head Ostectomy last Thursday (removal of head of the femur)
She is recovering well however she will not put her foot on the ground -has anyone had any experience with this ?
-
I wouldn't worry about the snails - my young Burmese has been bringing them in too.
I would be a bit careful using too much surface spray with a pup around. If you see a trail of ants and squash some of them every couple of inches it sometimes deters the rest coming that same way.
Your vet should be able to help with dog/cat safe insect repellants.

Hi our pup is now 8 months old and is outside most of the time. She comes in with our other dog for play, cuddles, treats and waiting for meals. She still has the occassional accident on the floor but in the last 2 days she has peed twice on our beds. Unfortunately we didn't notice for a while so could not correct her at the time. I have washed all the bedding in Biozet so there should not be any smell left.
Any ideas or help please ....

I have a female "Jaana" and she is very much like Kivi except maybe abit more active. She always has to bring a toy inside and takes it upstairs to my youngest son. She loves carrying toys around and frequently gets socks, clothes and the cat toys.
She learns very quickly and at the age of 16 months we have pretty good recall.
