Updated question and X-ray results
Posted on 2008/03/14 by UserThis is an update to the previous question that I had asked. Our Vet called and had posted Bubbles' X-rays to a website for other vets to look at. They said the Rad's showed no abnormalities and one tiny area where there is arthritis near the tip of her tail. Other than that it all looked great. Since my last question she has started dragging her left hind leg a little bit which prompted the X-rays which were taken on 3/11/08. And when we woke up this morning to give her a morning pain pill we noticed that she is starting to drag her other hind leg as well. Just not as bad as the left side.

Drinking Water
Posted on 2008/03/15 by TURNAUERHow much water should a 4 month old (33 lbs) Lab/shepherd/retriever mix typically drink. She seems to drink constantly all day long.

If it normal, that's fine. I just wondered if their were guidlines... like humans 6-8 glasses a day.

Limping Leg
Posted on 2008/03/15 by Mrs. N.Our 8 year-old cocker spaniel began limping suddenly after being outside. Because we live in a rural area, there are no emergency vets. We have checked her foot/leg. There are no scratches, cuts, etc. and she does not seem to be in any pain when her foot/leg are touched. What could be wrong, and what can be done until she can be taken to the vet on Monday?

pain meds for dogs
Posted on 2008/03/17 by UserSome times i run out of deramaxx and was wondering if Asprin was okay for her of if tylonal is okay for her? She really is hard to judge because she is not a dog to whine or yelp.
