Hi all. Just joined this group because I am now the proud dog parent of my mom’s 9 year old yorkie named Tuesday. She recently passed away and taking care of the dog was too much for my elderly dad. I’m looking forward to all the advice and suggestions for transitioning her into our home and...

I have an elderly havanese who hasn’t been able to keep up with the type of walking I would like to do sometimes. I’d like to bring her more often on faster walks or even bike rides but I’d need to find some sort of bag she could ride in. She’s a 14 year old Havanese, 8.5 pounds. We live in...

Good afternoon everyone. I have a 14 year old German Shepherd with dysplasia. His back legs ache and he finds it harder and harder to get up. I asked the vet if I could give him testosterone, nandrolone or some anabolic steroid in case it could help him, because we have exhausted the rest of the...

I have a 7 yr old golden doodle. She has never chewed anything until recently. She had started chewing earbuds and ripping apart plastic bags. Not only is this destructive but it’s dangerous. She doesn’t seem to have any health issues and we’ve been playing with her more and giving her extra...

My Dog 15F has started acting really weird. She's normally well behaved but she's lost her hearing with old age so following commands is a little difficult for her but she tries her best. She knows she's not allowed upstairs and has followed that rule since she was a Puppy. She recently has...

Hi everyone, So my dog is 16 now, she's got skin cancer and had a couple of strokes. Overall, she is a healthy dog, she eats and drinks well, she is energetic and so happy! Recently, she started having trouble in the middle of the night, it looks like a panic attack or something. She wakes up...

Hey All, My dog has really started to slow down as she has started to reach the ages of 6 and 7 and I was wondering if anyone has tried this supplement called Cold Fusion. I'll put the link below but I want my dog to be able to run around and play like she used to and am willing to try a...

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I have a 12 year old German Shepard and Boxer mix, she is the sweetest thing on planet earth. She has had a long and healthy life with very little health issues. But in the past several months she has had just a terrible time, starting with vestibular...

My schnauzer is 10 y/o and he’s starting to have these rough patches on his skin. He started biting down on one of them recently non stop. The area is now red with no fur. He has some black spots all over his skin but those have been appearing as he’s gotten older. I’m more concerned about the...

My dog, 10 yr old catahoula mix, has had troubling symptoms the past few days. We have seen the Emergency vet and his regular vet already and are seeing a neurologist in a few days. He has been showing signs of old age: panting, a bit slower, and trouble jumping into the car within the past few...

My 12 year old Toy Poodle has some welts on his skin. We live in a tropical area, with an overabundance of fleas, lice and ticks. He used to have a lot of these, and that may be one of the reasons why he has these welts (due to scratching). However, during the past 3 months he has been...

Hi, My Dog is about 10 years old and very recently has started showing some weird signs that we are confused about. The past few days she has been having a lot of difficulty getting up after laying down or being seated for a long period of time. The first time it happened she woke up up...

Hi everyone! I just joined this site because I don't know where else to ask--though I hope to go through and maybe help others as well. My dog, Krystal, is extremely well behaved in most ways; never aggressive, knows commands, comes when called, etc. She barks unnecessarily sometimes, but the...

I have a 10yr old male Rat Terrier/Dochsund mix. He's normally very sweet, rarely gets in trouble (and if he does it's normally for using the restroom in the house), he barks at the doorbell/when someone knocks. August he had an inflamed disk in his neck that went away after the vet gave him an...

I'm looking for information and advice. I have an elderly (15yo) golden retriever in somewhat fragile health. A groomer just SHAVED him down today (apparently other clients like that. Not me!). A few questions: - how long until his coat begins to grow back, if ever? - I assume we will need...

I love my 12 year old miniature pinscher, but lately she is the loudest dog on the block. I have another dog, a 6 yr old muggin (min pin/pug mix) and she's fairly quiet, but when my older dog barks(Cleo) she joins in sometimes too. Cleo has a deep bark, she sounds like a medium sized dog, you...

Hi, We have recently got an American water spaniel puppy, Tessa, who is around 7 months old. We also have a 14 year old Britney Spaniel, Agnes, in our house as well. Now I understand that this breed of puppy is known to have food aggression and has attacked our older dog numerous times over...

Hey everybody, I'm new to the forum here, but I'm starting to get a little concerned about my dog. She's a 12 year old German Shepherd/Boxer mix, and is by far the best dog I've ever had. She's exceptionally well trained, and we have a VERY tight bond together. She has been to the vet within...

I want to preface this by saying although I'm asking for help for a friend of mine (and some friends to ALL of us), I'm NOT asking for money! Just a mere few seconds of your time. One of my closest friends works at "The Old Dog House" (Facebook page). They are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public...
