Remember Your Beloved Pet
I used this product on my little 4 year old, 8 pound Maltase/Pomeranian. He seemed fine the day it was applied but the next day he was rolling around on the floor growling at himself and winning. He didn't get any sleep that night, we had called the vet after giving him a bath and they said to give Benadryl. This helped for a few hours and that night he was crying and running around. He was in a lot of pain. I gave him another bath and held him in my arms. This seemed to work for a few minutes and back to the same reactions. The following day we brought him to the vet and they washed him, put lotion on him and gave him more Benadryl. They also put him on a steroid. They called and said he should be better now.
Nope that night he was up all night again this was so frustrating. I cried knowing that there was nothing I could do for him. They had said he was feeling like he had pins and needles (like when your foot falls asleep and it starts to wake up) but his never went away! The next morning he was back to the Vets and they saw how bad he was. No sleep for us for 4 days was really putting a toll on the both of us.
The Vet gave him a nerve medicine and a sedative. Once we got home he slept for a few hours without the twitching. But that night even with the sedative he still did not sleep. At this point he still has the annoying twitch and he sleeps for a very short time.
SO PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT! FOR YOUR DOGS SAKE!

Hello everyone, puppy lovers
After reading some of the answers to this question on what to do when your dog starts coughing loud, or appears having a "Panic" attack.
What "I" do, that helpf VERY well, is I put my hand upon their throat area and gently rub it up and down the neck. My dog is a standard Dacshund " wiener doggie, she does this sometimes when she gets really excited or at night too, but once I start rubbing her throat, she stops. Along with while I'm rubbing her neck, I tell her it's OK, its ok. This has been and works great for me.View Thread
1 - to keep other packs of dogs from smelling their "camp" and keep them away
2 - to clean up their living area.
weird, but this is an instinct, ancient ritual. not to worry. it won't hurt them. i just yell a "grunt" to my dogs when they do it and they stop. it's natural. not to worry. go to goodle and look it up. interesting what dogs in today's world STILL have as instinct, huh? good luck.............View Thread

Now he is trying to bark but instead of the loud barking it's more like a raspy woof and now his eyes are running again. The vet gave him pills earlier to combat that and now I've started him on them again. But our daily routine is up at 7am out to the bathroom then we take our mile or more walk (where he struts) around the area. Then we're back inside. We go grocery shopping and then occasionally to the doggie park for him to romp with his friends. Home before noon and rest up then he gets fed (along with once a month his heartworm pill and flea application). He is extremely active a English Cocker black/white. He loves chasing and collecting his balls. But I noticed last night that his bark was hoarse but he slept well and so far fine except his nose was cold and wet this am. He ate well but it a little hesitant on drinking his water. So I've got a fantastic relationship where I can clean his eyes, teeth, ears, pads, etc and he doesn't fuss. Plus giving him any meds is a snap. whetrher down his throat of through a dripper he's used to me having my hands, fingers whatever on and down his throat. Do I need to call his vet or is there something that I can do in the interim. Mind you he loves his vet and his immunizations are a dream. Believe it or now he's a wonderful playful little scamp. I'm just a little worried at the slowness in drinking and his cold nose. I notice any and everything that is out of sorts with my pet.View Thread
