Our little beagle boy Bogart is having some problems :( He began having some issues with arthritis a year or so ago--struggling to get up and walking with some stiffness. I was really very scared when this started happening so we whisked him off to Dr. Noe where Bogart received a prescription for Rimadel, one word--MAGIC! In fact we renamed his morning dose "magic crunchy" (because they are beef flavor chewables)! Seriously, after one dose our Bogart was back in action! And we have been forever grateful. Well, little Bo had some blood work a few weeks ago and we found his liver levels were extremely high. We started another medication and found out after yesterdays re-check that his liver levels are even worse.
SO, after speaking with our very caring dog sitter and then again this morning with Dr. Noe, we are going to try some natural remedies along with a prescription pain pill. Uuugghhh! The good news is that little bo does not have any other symptoms of liver failure. If anyone has any ideas or have heard of natural arthritis and/or liver remedies--please let us know. please!
Poor Bogart. That's gotta' be tough to hear. I really hope you find something that works. I'm so glad you found "magic crunchy". LOL.
ReplyDeleteOur Jazz also has liver problems from his seizure meds. He takes Sami pills (not sure the full name) because his liver is also not doing so well. We are so sad to know Jazz's twin is having health problems. Let us know what you find out! I love the picture you posted of Bogart!
