Boots had been doing relatively well until about 5 weeks ago when his right front leg became very painful. FF today, and he's on a rehab plan with laser, heat, TENS and massage. He's usually good for the day, then it starts returning, so... I did get some pharma 99.9% DMSO and am applying it...

Little late, but a $10-15 bottle of DMSO is useful to have around. Between bilateral hip dysplasia and an about missing T2 disc, Boots definately perks up after I apply and massage some in. I usually get the 99% and mix it down to ~65% to reduce the initial itching/burning feeling that can...

Just thought I'd post an interesting N=1 result we think we're seeing with Boots and Curcumin. Current Lit. showed inflammation/pain reduction starting at 1 month, increasing to 3 months. Started adding 1/2 tsp/meal (1000mg), and basically forgot about it as most studies seem to start testing...

A quick search found this: https://nutritionj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12937-016-0128-2 It appears that there is uncertainty on how it is entering into the body when taken orally, as polysaccharides are difficult to be utilized. While they are still wondering and this is an older...

4-5 deer in the backyard. Should have zoomed in a bit.

As an IT and sometimes programmer, this is a nice way to do an LLM with relevant cites. A lot of us who follow LLM/ML though are still pretty worried about how often these programs get it wrong. Not a big problem for someone writing a paper in highschool, or general curiosity. A very big...

So Fall of 23 before winter Boots spent a good 20 minutes running and barking around the pond at the invading ducks. Spring of 24 when we came out of hibernation in the NE, he was slow, sedentary, seemed like an old man. More reserved. After going to a rehab vet for expected arthritis, a...

Sorry to hear this, I know its heartbreaking. Have you considered Vit B1 supplementation? I hate to post social media, however some brief official cite searching seems to indicate it may be worth investigating. Cite- https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4846521/...

Just found this old thread of mine, and figured I'd update. Boots is 13.5 now, and aside 2 issues, vet reports lipids, etc are all excellent. Issue 1 is big slow down in activity after winter last year. After oral cancer surgery for what turned out to be not quite cancer, Rehab vet xray...

All the scientific studies I've read indicate it is a total scam. Of course my wife bought on recently on her nightly Amazon jaunts and really believe it works. Its winter. Years ago I got a couple ultrasonic doo-dads on some sale really cheap that both worked. One you attached to dog's collar...

Happened across this as Boot was recommended Adequan shots, necro thread. Just thought I'd mention looking up Chlorine Dioxide for actual Lyme eradication. Recently got interested in it as its simply the best for de-skunking, and very safe. Here is an interesting study from the European Society...

Thats a new one, but as an nerve cell agonist it reminds me of the Librella. It worked great the first time we used it but I stopped after I read more than a few comments on different forums. Cushings is under control with 10mg Trilostane AM/PM, no indications. Hyaluronic acid hip injections...

So we recently took Boots (13) to a local vet that has a Rehabilitation therapy unit to better address some front leg stumbling/limping he had gotten worse. Vet was awesome and after picking him up and moving and squeezing him, immediately said his front legs only had mild arthritis and...

Thanks Everyone. Histo-Path sent her final report that it is indeed a non-malignant growth. Apparently this is not uncommon, and I wouldn't be surprised if she writes a paper regarding it as it is something she is keen on. She's on ResearchGate...

So, miracles do apparently still happen. Histo-pathologist who's been looking at the jawbone and gum samples is pretty sure it is not a malignant growth. She believes it is some form of filmentious growth that probably happened when he had the initial bum tooth extraction several years ago...
