rotten_two Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 what's the word on baxter? can you keep him? can ya? huh? huh? Quote
pyrless Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 sorry guys! :oops: i was incommunicado yesterday... Anyways! Everyone met and aside from some posturing on Taz's part and attempting to hump him (Baxter has got fifty pounds on him...) it went really really well! Anyone who has multiple males and can give me some advice on that would be greatly appreciated! Baxter is in love with little Muffin and even liked the cat. He and Sasha played like old buddies. Although Baxter has spent the past ten months in the country in rescue and before that was picked up in a rural shelter, so the sounds of Cleveland were new to him! (church bells, sirens, cars...) However we can't make a final decision until Sasha's Saturday vet appointment. Her UTIs are getting worse and the doc wants to ultrasound her bladder. If she needs surgery, it's a no go, as that involves weeks of crate rest, not to mention the expense. I am really worried about her, please keep her in your thoughts. Also, while i have you here, all three dogs are REALLY ITCHY. (no fleas). Does anyone have a good remedy or product? Thanks as always, I will keep you posted... Quote
rotten_two Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 pawsative thoughts for sasha and her ultrasound! have you tried benadryl for itchy dawgs? Quote
pyrless Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 i gave her one last nite but i don't think it was enough, she was ok for a few hours then it started again. how much can you give based on weight? is this something you can do on a regular basis? Quote
rotten_two Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 gaia weighs 85ish pounds and i was giving her 1 am and 1 pm. eventually she moved into prescription drugs and then shots because she has some really bad allergies we learned. are they chewing? corn cobbing? scratching? raw/bald? Quote
pyrless Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 muffin has hot spots which i am treating with topical cortisone cream and anti itch spray with aloe. the other two are not losing fur but are chewing, corncobbing and licking, mainly paws for Sasha and crotch for Taz. their coats are too thick for me to get through to the skin. Sasha is 100 lbs., Taz is 58 and Muffin is 12. Maybe 2 for Sash, one for Taz and one-half for Muffin? Quote
rotten_two Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 what jess said that miss said sounds about right -- i do remember thinking we could have given her more benadryl but the problem was that it made her so lethargic. yeah great she's not chewing but she's barely conscious haha. you could try wiping off face and paws (and winky area) when they come in the door to get any allergens off. i dunno what the pollen count is like now but my allergies have been flaring too.

pyrless Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 thanks guys! i will try wiping them off too, i don't have allergies so i have no idea what they are reacting to... :( Quote
JackieMaya Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 What R2 said that Jess said that Miss said sounds like a good way to go. Sorry about Sash, hope she doesn't need surgery. Paws are crossed! Quote
