Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Thu May 16, '13 12:22am PST  Garnet was on for a couple weeks because of a knee problem but it didnt seem to help her that much. Her knee is still causing problems and will for the rest of her life. She is almost a year old and when she was very young about 3 months old or younger she fractured the frontal edge of her tibia but it was done while her growth plates were still sealing so it allowed for that portion of the bone to heal twisted which allows for her knee to pop out of place now and then. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Wed Apr 3, '13 7:28am PST  Our little Garnet was diagnosed by our vet with a mild LP which he found out after an x-ray was due to a broken frontal portion of her tibial head. He said that unless she gets to where she has trouble walking on that leg or she starts to cry when walking or running and playing he is just going to leave it alone and let her be. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Calling all Designer Dogs/ Unique Combinations of dogs

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Thu Mar 7, '13 1:56pm PST  Two of my dogs Garnet and Blaze are known as Bospins their dad is a Boston Terrier and their mom is a Miniature Pincher. I dont think that they look much like either one but they are sure cute. Although little Garnet is going to wind up costing us a small fortune in care but we love her anyway. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Garnet's X-Ray results

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Thu Mar 7, '13 1:51pm PST  Ok so today was Garnet's vet appointment to get her right rear leg x-rayed. The vet said that the top of her tibia was indeed twisted. The twist isnt bad but apparently the front edge of her tibia broke while she was very young and we didnt know that it had broken because she never whined or limped. The growth plate had not yet sealed around the tibial head so the remodeling in it didnt really cause many problems. It is leading to a mild case of a luxating patella and he said that unless it starts to cause her problems or unless she starts to limp more than normal he isnt going to worry about doing surgery on the knee. He said that later in life she may have to be on joint supplements but she is doing really well right now. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Afraid to ask but need to know about knee problems in small breed dogs

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sat Feb 23, '13 8:17pm PST  We had to reschedule Garnet's appointment because we are moving and it took everything we had to put into the new house. We gave up our other house that we were buying to help the guy who owns Garnet's parents out while he was in jail. To try and clear up any confusion about who he is to my hubby and I, this guy is my hubby's best friend and we didnt find out till last year my cousin. He went to jail and to keep his house from getting broke into after Garnet's mom and dad were stolen, we got them back. We took care of his place and his dogs for 10 months. He got out last month and has been making our lives hell. Garnet has been doing good but now when she lays down on the couch or in the chair she will groan and kind of whine. My hubby is getting paid to go to school each month through the VA so we set up her appointment for the seventh of next month. And in answer to the question about her and her brother's parents being checked before being bred the breeding was not supposed to happen but for a few weeks before we took over her parents care the person who stole them was supposed to be caring for them put a wire crate in the house to put Diamond who is Garnet's mom in to keep her from getting pregnant. However she put it in the house upside down so that the bottom was the top and Diamond climbed out through the bottom and got pregnant. Now that Diamond and her former mate's owner is out of jail he is talking about getting another female dog a Boston like Garnet and Blaze's dad Psycho so that he can make money off breeding the two. Diamond is spayed so he cant have anymore pups from her. He told me that she is three years old and has already had 5 litters of pups. I feel bad for her really but she cant make money for him anymore. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sun Feb 17, '13 9:09am PST  Its really up to you. I dont know if it was just because of the fact that the humane society's "neuter scooter" vet was pressed for time as they only have openings for I think they said four or five dogs each month or if she just didnt give the glue enough time to set up or what but at least my Garnet is healthy now. She went in weighing 9.8 pounds and in just a few days after her spay she was down to 9.6 pounds and was kinda looking too thin to me. But in two weeks after her vet fixed the site she was up to what she weighs now at 10.8 pounds. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Afraid to ask but need to know about knee problems in small breed dogs

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sat Feb 16, '13 8:53pm PST  The day that we took Garnet in to get her stitches out after having to have her belly fixed after her spay surgery we noticed that she was limping on her right rear leg. I checked her paw to see if maybe she had stepped on something out in the yard but found nothing. We had her vet look at it and he moved her leg at the knee and could feel it clicking. He also said that it felt like her tibia was twisted. We arent sure if it is because of stress or a birth defect. She likes to run up and down the steps on the back deck and jump around. She is not overweight for her size. She is 8 1/2 months old and weighs 10.8 pounds. I am wondering if it could be from my 15 year old accidentally letting her out the wrong door a couple times when he was home for a weekend visit or if it is a birth defect. There are days that she will not weight bear on it when she is standing up. She does not whine in pain except at night when she gets up on the bed and lays down to sleep. We can mess with her leg and she will not whine or snap at us but I am still very concerned about this leg. She has an appointment with the vet on Thursday to get her leg x-rayed and will find out if we need to take her to a specialist or not. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > Different ways to administer oral medications?

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sat Feb 16, '13 8:43pm PST  For pilling my dogs I use greenies pill pocket treats. These treats come in a variety of flavors and are really easy to use. They even have an allergy safe one. These treats are made to put the pill in and close the treat around the pill. My dogs love them and little Garnet will run to me when she has to be on meds for her treat with her pill tucked inside. The dogs dont even know they are getting the pill. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Dog Health > care after spay

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sat Feb 16, '13 8:38pm PST  Garnet had the glue on her belly after her spay but the glue didnt really hold and she had to be taken in to her regular vet who ended up putting three stitches in her belly. She was also developing an infection in the incision. Thankfully her vet is really good and she was back to normal within a few hours after having her belly stitched up. The first couple days after her spay she didnt eat or drink or even want to go out to potty or anything other than lay in the chair or on the floor in front of the heater and she still shivered. I ended up calling her vet and getting her in for a check up and thats when he said she was getting an infection. Now however she has to have x-rays on her right rear leg. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Garnet TNT comes in- small packages     Barked: Sat Jan 19, '13 11:45pm PST  We bought her some cans of walmart brand dog food and she is eating like a little pig. She is happy as a lark eating the canned food and will polish off her bowl of food in a couple minutes flat. She loves the canned food we got her. It may not be TOTW but at least she is eating now. She and her brother were given to us as payment for us looking after them and their parents while their owner was away. Blaze will eat anything as long as it doesnt eat him first. Garnet only likes canned food and TOTW puppy. I dont remember which formula of the puppy though. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
