Hi folks!!!!

[tombogan03884]

Nope.... Mailmen.(That was a JOKE BTW, to any mail carriers on the forum...) His favorite is burglars, but since I got him there's been a shortage of them at my house....... Actually a joint problem is why he's gotten that fat. He hurt his leg in November and the vet suspected a slight tear in the ligament. So I rested him a few months (Vet said at LEAST 3), and when I've taken him for a good walk or done obedience with him he seems to start limping real hard again. I took him to the vet for shots update, and told the vet about it (Different vet than the last time, at the same office), and he said to have him walk around in the hall way, and the vet didn't see any limp. It seems to come back when I do anything semi strenuous with him. But yeah I need to drop about 15 or 20 pounds off of him. The vet told me what you just said; that dropping weight will help his knee.

Keep an eye on that, Friend of mine had a Shepherd he was babying because he had been limping for a couple days, One day some of us that worked with him were at his house and he's telling us about this, says, "see he's limping now" all of a sudden he starts cussing the dog and laughing, the dog was limping on the other foot, he'd been faking.

My old dog (10yrs old) was limping around and the vet put him on a glucosamine supplement (http://www.1800petmeds.com/Cosequin+for+Dogs+-prod10317.html). A couple of weeks later and he was running around better that he had in years. He has lost some weight since then, so he zips around like a puppy, but the pills made it easier for him to get on that road to recovery. Kind of like SlideGlide for the ole joints.

Welcome back Walt!

Have the doc check your dog for Lyme disease!  Wouldn't hurt and the test isn't that expensive....they make a vaccine now that I give my dog every year!

Hey Timothy, do they make one for people do you know?

Long as it ain't cats it's cool by me! 

Funny you should mention cats..... One of his favorite prey animals........ I like cats however, so I dont let him chase them.

No I'm Not worried about my dog faking it. My dog LOVES going for walks and doing obedience. He has the working dog mentality. "PLEASE Give me a job to do." If I put his food bowl in front of him without giving him SOME kind of obedience command first, he'll just look at the food and look up at me first, and wont eat yet.

Science Diet makes a diet dog food (no I'm not making this up). It used to be by script only but I think that changed. I had to keep one of mine on it due to bad hips. I couldn't just fed her less as she needed the nutrients. Check out your pet store. Its a bit spendy, but you're a dog owner, it always is.

Walt,

WATCH the 'diet' foods.  They often have MORE calories and fat than regular!  There is no law or regulation on what they can call 'diet' so read and compare.
