Re: Add a poop pocket (poop catcher) to a disposable dog diaper

I cut the hole just big enough for Buddy’s tail.

I think I like the reusable diaper idea better. Remember Dolcezza’s (spelling?) diapers with the poop lock, as I recall?

Re: Add a poop pocket (poop catcher) to a disposable dog diaper

Seems like a good idea for girls, but I’m mystified why she doesn’t use a wrap for pee.

Re: Non-slip dog socks that really don't slip

I don’t know that hot glue should go in a dryer; if I had a dryer I think I’d use a more permanent glue.

Cats can be just so 🤬 stubborn sometimes! I hope the new doc had some ideas.

You can crush the pills, but I usually just out them in the liquid & let them soften.

As I recall Fripple was a spinal cord hock walker, like Koi, so he wore shoes to protect from skin breakdown.

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome

:wow: :snoopy: I never thought about trying claw whackers; wonder how it’ll work out?!! What I’ve done when pills can’t be cut well is to essentially compound it myself into a liquid. I hesitated to mention it, but it IS a possibility, even if you had a pharmacy compound it for you. It would probabl...

Re: Rear Feline Hock Fusion

:whale: That’s actually something nobody here has ever had done, which is saying something! :D It sounds like y’all’ve given it a good think and a good try (such as she’d allow), and I think I’d try it. I had a spinal cord injured fella who was a hock walker and who had significant contractures. Wha...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome

I’d use the old until you get them squared away; usually pharmacies give stuff an expiration of a year from fulfillment rather than the actual date assigned by the manufacturer, not that they mean much. It’s just a guarantee up until the date, but DoD did testing showing vastly longer lives on their...

Re: Pip diagnosis - Central cord syndrome

You know, it seems that humans have largely left gabapentin behind in favor of pregabalin for some reason, to the point that pregabalin is being prescribed as a post-surgery pain pill. It’s probably more expensive, but I wonder if it might be worth studying to see if a drug trial might be worth doin...
