    Hey all, new to the forum but concerned about my soon to be 11 year old Alaskan Husky, Kira. I haven’t blown her out in a while and normally use a rake comb followed by a surface comb (she is extremely long haired). Today I decided to blow her out before and didn’t take long for me to notice a...

    Hi, my name is Lee. I'm 14. My best friend, Ayden, is my dog. He's 17. No specific breed, he's a mutt. Medium size, I believe, although as a kid I thought he was huge. In 2006 my mother found him in the middle of the road. Took him to the hospital, they said he was going to die. But, he didn't...

    Should I rescue a senior Dog as an ESA? I’m looking for one for college. I love older dogs. They require less excersize, are more mellow, and they are so adorable. 
I know that people say that you won’t have as much time with them but you feel like crap either way when you lose a loved one. I...

    Hello Forum, Today I wanted to share a sad life lesson I learned just about a year ago. I took my senior pekingese dog Lulu to the groomer for a much needed haircut and bath. Lulu was yelping and crying out to me as I walked out of the groomers shop. When I returned, Lulu was excited to see me...

    My little old man is dealing with a bout of mucusy loose stool and some really smelly gas. He was diagnosed with IBD in 2019 with an abdominal ultrasound and GI blood panel from Texas A&M. He has a grade 3/4 murmur & I won’t put him under anesthesia for a scope. He hasn’t had diarrhea in a very...

    I'm not sure what happened but it's as if my dog aged overnight. He seems to be eating perfectly fine and no signs of vomiting whatsoever I notice that he seems to be going pee from what I can tell although my dad and my brother said that they saw him struggling to go pee or poop when I saw him...

    I have a 13yr old hound mix who has been on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach and Skin for pretty much his entire life. As he reached his senior years, I noticed his poop has started to change. When we go on walks, he poops multiple times. The first time is normal, firm, nice color, and easy to...

    I have a 30 lb beagle-basset mix (10 y/o female). I am considering adopting a senior dachsund (10 y/o, male). Both fixed. Do you have any thoughts or advice?

    So I rescued an 8 year old cattle dog/pitbull mix not too long ago. He’s an absolute sweetheart, until there’s another dog around. I was misled by the rescue agency about how badly he reacts to other dogs and how unsocialized he is. Whenever he’s able to see another dog he loses his mind; if...

    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 dog Kilroy (10 years) has always resource guarded his toys, treats, and food from other dogs, and I have always made it a point to separately feed the dogs in the house when it's time. Unfortunately, last night my mother and I awoke to the sound of a loud scuffle and found my dog pinning her...

    Hello everyone! A cocker spaniel puppy joined my family over the holidays. She is hyper, still nipping and biting, very curious, and persistent. She's also very sweet and loving. One of her favorite things to do is get in my old dog's face and bark in an attempt to entice my dog to play with...

    I adopted a senior dog a few months ago. Things are going really great in general. However, when we're inside she constantly wants my attention. I think she's bored. She doesn't seem to know how to occupy herself with anything but food and someone petting her. She's not at all into toys (even...
