I also use the Skudo and find them very effective but I also check her every day

I give my Cavalier the vanilla flavoured Jalna. She gets a teaspoon every morning :D and likes it off the spoon

My girl is always on cranberry tablets. She hasn't had a UTI for nearly 3 years

I find that pain meds and anti inflammatories don't help my girl if she has trigger points.

My girl has a similar pattern of lameness I found that anti inflammatories did not help at all as the problem was muscular. Trigger point therapy is the thing that helps her most, along with acupuncture. It took us many months to find an answer...it is very frustrating

I used to see a Staffy with a cart around my area on the North Shore in Sydney. I couldn't catch it, I think it was made by a vet at Epping but don't know the name of the surgery. It was very happy in it.

I have the same breed but a different colour. It took me a year before I was ready for another dog. The girls have very similar temperaments and the same quirks but are still different. If you like the breed I' d go with it

It stays really cool for a good couple of days but this is inside. I liked the crystal ones because they are easy to move. I also use it in the car. With the a/c and the mat she is always comfy She feels the heat really badly and also has a throat issue,so this suits her really well

Ollie dog used to have one like that (I think we got it from the markets)... You just soaked it in the laundry tub for a few minutes and the crystal swelled up. He used to lay on it all the time in summer... That's it. It stays cool for a long time and has a cotton cover

I have had one made by a fellow DOLer( using the crystals) and my Cavalier absolutely loves it She was also given one of the expensive Silver Eagle ones and won't go near it

Liebhunde, I was wondering if you could please PM me with the details? TIA

I would consider anal glands. They don't always smell really rotten My girl gets very restless when they need expressing. If they are infected or leaking then they smell revolting

My Cavalier was diagnosed with a liver tumour and unfortunately 6 weeks later i had to give let her pass.She did not have any treatment as she was 11 and had other issues and there were no guarantees. I let her have whatever she wanted to eat, she did whatever she wanted, slept wherever took her fancy and we went on lots of car trips :) She was Ok for nearly 6 weeks. Then one day she was a bit " off" and I took vet but they coudn't find anything out of the ordinary.I went out that night and had somebody watch her. They called me at 11.30 and I rushed her to the emergency vet. The tumour was pressing on her heart and they couldn't get rid of the fluid. I spent all night with her and about 5.30am she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said enough is enough. I could have kept going with the treatment but it wasn't fair on her as it was very invasive. She was in my arms when they helped her to the bridge. It was very quick and it was incredible the sense of peace and relief that came over her little face. The only thing i regret is that I would have preferred to be at home when she would have been surrounded by her favourite things. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but I had to do it to repay all the love that she had given me. I think about her every day and that was nearly 10 years ago. She was the first dog I had as an adult and I was 30years old! I'm sorry this is such a long post but I can really understand where you are at and I know you will the make the right decision for your little one

I give my girl with HD, an evening primrose oil capsule every day. This was on the advice of a chiropractic vet and seems to work well

My Cavalier was continually getting UTI's. She had an ultrasound and no stones but lots of struvite crystals and a PH of 9.3 I commenced her on Cranberry tablets and 2 weeks later she was back to normal. That was 2 years ago and she has ben fine It's horrible to see them sufferring. We must have been very lucky that we were able to get rid of them so easily

What a load of rubbish! And ill informed

for the Cavalier!!

My girl has 10mg of Losec once a day. The vet gives me a scipt and I buy it at the cheap pharmacy Works very well for her.

I use the Skudo. I found that the Shoo tag didn't work and was more intrusive than the Skudo

I have used mine for 5 years and have never had a problem. A friend who is a landscope gardener, swears by the human one. Nothing is 100% reliable and I still check every night

I bought one from my local pharmacy, another one from Petbiz and another one from the local plant nursery

Is it the Shoo tag? I found it useless I have put a Skudo on her and found it great. I live in a very high tick infestation area and she hasn't had one yet..fingers crossed!!!! But I do check her every night!

My dog gets very restless, especally after the evening meal. She doesn't scoot, lick or smell but finds it hard to settle

My Cavalier was sound asleep last and was trying to dig up the carpet In real life she is not a digger

I couldn't work out how they are self warming.Do you know they are heated?
