Momma here, the beach Gang is sending condolences to Jennifer at the loss of Louise, we will light the candle for safe passage, and we send heart healing drool, we are so sorry for your loss--

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--

Elder Sister Daisy, Brudder Jake We are so sorry to read of the passing of Wally and Louise – we are sending
lots of comforting drool your way. It was hard to fathom that someone would
take the time to show Wally to a champion title then throw him in a kennel
to rot. Thank you so much for letting him know the joy of being loved for
his final months.



We are glad to hear that Gwendolyn is feeling better, the Molly the beagle
has nothing life threatening wrong. We hope that Abner and Marley get to
feeling better soon.



It is wonderful to hear that Eva is back! Thanks to Sandy for such a
wonderful gift!

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

Momma here, the beach Gang is sending condolences to Jennifer at the loss of Louise, we will light the candle for safe passage, and we send heart healing drool, we are so sorry for your loss--

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--

We are glad to hear that Gwendolyn is feeling better, the Molly the beagle

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Debbie Winchester
Official Food Slave and Drool Mop Queen to
PW, OEBE Elder Clara,
OEBE Brudder Elwood, Instigator of Evil Deeds
Elder Sister Daisy, Brudder Jake We are so sorry to read of the passing of Wally and Louise – we are sending
lots of comforting drool your way. It was hard to fathom that someone would
take the time to show Wally to a champion title then throw him in a kennel
to rot. Thank you so much for letting him know the joy of being loved for
his final months.



We are glad to hear that Gwendolyn is feeling better, the Molly the beagle
has nothing life threatening wrong. We hope that Abner and Marley get to
feeling better soon.



It is wonderful to hear that Eva is back! Thanks to Sandy for such a
wonderful gift!



Happy Gotcha Day to Elsinore yesterday!

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

walking bassets -- Nancy
That is such a true description of walking bassets.
I have almost had my arm torn off when Miss Becky
and this huge Malumuite were having words over
the fence.
But the promise collar solved that too.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--



Debbie Winchester
Official Food Slave and Drool Mop Queen to
PW, OEBE Elder Clara,
OEBE Brudder Elwood, Instigator of Evil Deeds
Elder Sister Daisy, Brudder Jake We are so sorry to read of the passing of Wally and Louise – we are sending
lots of comforting drool your way. It was hard to fathom that someone would
take the time to show Wally to a champion title then throw him in a kennel
to rot. Thank you so much for letting him know the joy of being loved for
his final months.



We are glad to hear that Gwendolyn is feeling better, the Molly the beagle
has nothing life threatening wrong. We hope that Abner and Marley get to
feeling better soon.



It is wonderful to hear that Eva is back! Thanks to Sandy for such a
wonderful gift!



Happy Gotcha Day to Elsinore yesterday!

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

Hi,
I would like to post this to the Daily Drool Digest? I am trying to help a
Basset Rescue out of Houston that is in a contest and they need all the
votes they can get for Trooper the Basset. Anyone can go to the website and
vote every hour. He is not very far behind so he needs everyone to vote so
the Basset Rescue can get some help. There is only 3 days left.The website
is http://www.facebook.com/PetFestOldTownSpring?sk=app_197602066931325. I
like to do anything I can to help save our homeless basset babies. Thank you
very much from me and my 2 hounds Pippa Girl and Daisy Mae:)

Momma here, the beach Gang is sending condolences to Jennifer at the loss of Louise, we will light the candle for safe passage, and we send heart healing drool, we are so sorry for your loss--

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up

low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint

She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

Hi,
I would like to post this to the Daily Drool Digest? I am trying to help a
Basset Rescue out of Houston that is in a contest and they need all the
votes they can get for Trooper the Basset. Anyone can go to the website and
vote every hour. He is not very far behind so he needs everyone to vote so
the Basset Rescue can get some help. There is only 3 days left.The website
is http://www.facebook.com/PetFestOldTownSpring?sk=app_197602066931325. I
like to do anything I can to help save our homeless basset babies. Thank you
very much from me and my 2 hounds Pippa Girl and Daisy Mae:)


Ummm. Thanks. mom, for getting me this new bed. Sure is cushy. Zzzzz.
 
Upph, wazzat? Nah, I must've been dreaming. Surely no one said that this isn't my bed! It's so soft, and I haven't gotten a new bed since I've been here. About time the slaves recognized that I needed this. After all, even if I am a foster, I'm not going anywhere. I knew that the first moment I stepped foot inside this house.
 
Watta you saying, mom? Something about another foster. You don't need 'nother foster. You have me, me, me. I fill up your life, asking for love. When would you have time to pet another hound?
 
Well, if you insist. I can't stop you. But don't let that other hound think he's getting MY bed.
Holly the foster Dashing Basset
 
[Note from mom: I found a new bed at the pet store I go to. Cushy, cushy, cushy, and machine washable, though I may not be able to fit it into our washer. Just wish I'd looked more carefully at the directions, since it has to be air dried. But Holly plopped down on the bed within minutes of my putting it on the floor. She looks so happy, I don't have the heart to return it. I just hope that no one pees on it, or I'll be covering it over with something that is washable.
 
I've frequently looked in this store for a new bed, and nothing was good until today. It's a good thing Holly got to lay claim to it before we got new foster Dexter.
 
I hope Dexter doesn't mind getting one of the old beds. Holly has definitely labeled this one as hers, and quite frankly, she does deserve it. She's a good hound. Don't know how her original people could bear to let her go.]

Momma here, the beach Gang is sending condolences to Jennifer at the loss of Louise, we will light the candle for safe passage, and we send heart healing drool, we are so sorry for your loss--

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

While we were waiting  at the vet's to pick up our new foster, Dexter, I read part of a very interesting article in NATURAL DOG magazine, which included information on a new holistic method of treating bad backs and other problems.
 
This is a treatment called prolotherapy--it does not require invasive surgery, but treats with injections of destrose or vitamin B12 and lidocaine (for pain). It has been used for intevertebral disc disease, arthritis, and neck or back pain, among other things. They reported that it had a 90 percent success rate.
 
It's not a forever kind of treatment. You have to repeat it once a year, and I don't know what it costs, but it's supposed to be cheaper than surgery. It might be worth at least looking into, for those who cannot do the surgery.
 
To find a local vet who does this, go to www.ahvma.org and choose "find a holistic vet." In step 2, you will need to scroll down and click on "other."
 
All I know about it is what was in the article. I've never done this or even heard about it before; I've never even been to a holistic vet. But since so many hounds have had IVDD issues lately, I thought I'd mention it. When you have a dog with IVDD, you'll look into just about anything.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

Hi,
I would like to post this to the Daily Drool Digest? I am trying to help a
Basset Rescue out of Houston that is in a contest and they need all the
votes they can get for Trooper the Basset. Anyone can go to the website and
vote every hour. He is not very far behind so he needs everyone to vote so
the Basset Rescue can get some help. There is only 3 days left.The website
is http://www.facebook.com/PetFestOldTownSpring?sk=app_197602066931325. I
like to do anything I can to help save our homeless basset babies. Thank you
very much from me and my 2 hounds Pippa Girl and Daisy Mae:)


Ummm. Thanks. mom, for getting me this new bed. Sure is cushy. Zzzzz.
 
Upph, wazzat? Nah, I must've been dreaming. Surely no one said that this isn't my bed! It's so soft, and I haven't gotten a new bed since I've been here. About time the slaves recognized that I needed this. After all, even if I am a foster, I'm not going anywhere. I knew that the first moment I stepped foot inside this house.
 
Watta you saying, mom? Something about another foster. You don't need 'nother foster. You have me, me, me. I fill up your life, asking for love. When would you have time to pet another hound?
 
Well, if you insist. I can't stop you. But don't let that other hound think he's getting MY bed.
Holly the foster Dashing Basset
 
[Note from mom: I found a new bed at the pet store I go to. Cushy, cushy, cushy, and machine washable, though I may not be able to fit it into our washer. Just wish I'd looked more carefully at the directions, since it has to be air dried. But Holly plopped down on the bed within minutes of my putting it on the floor. She looks so happy, I don't have the heart to return it. I just hope that no one pees on it, or I'll be covering it over with something that is washable.
 
I've frequently looked in this store for a new bed, and nothing was good until today. It's a good thing Holly got to lay claim to it before we got new foster Dexter.
 
I hope Dexter doesn't mind getting one of the old beds. Holly has definitely labeled this one as hers, and quite frankly, she does deserve it. She's a good hound. Don't know how her original people could bear to let her go.]

While we were waiting  at the vet's to pick up our new foster, Dexter, I read part of a very interesting article in NATURAL DOG magazine, which included information on a new holistic method of treating bad backs and other problems.
 
This is a treatment called prolotherapy--it does not require invasive surgery, but treats with injections of destrose or vitamin B12 and lidocaine (for pain). It has been used for intevertebral disc disease, arthritis, and neck or back pain, among other things. They reported that it had a 90 percent success rate.
 
It's not a forever kind of treatment. You have to repeat it once a year, and I don't know what it costs, but it's supposed to be cheaper than surgery. It might be worth at least looking into, for those who cannot do the surgery.
 
To find a local vet who does this, go to www.ahvma.org and choose "find a holistic vet." In step 2, you will need to scroll down and click on "other."
 
All I know about it is what was in the article. I've never done this or even heard about it before; I've never even been to a holistic vet. But since so many hounds have had IVDD issues lately, I thought I'd mention it. When you have a dog with IVDD, you'll look into just about anything.
Pam, food slave to the Dashing Bassets

Prolotherapy is approved for use in humans, and works very well in many
cases - but like all treatments, it does not work on everything or everyone.
Most doctors don't know about it so they refer you to a surgeon. And if you
go to a surgeon, you're going to get surgery. As I understand it,
Prolotherapy is actually very irritating to the join and somehow this causes
the cartilage to start regenerating. Good to know they are starting to use
it on animals, too, it would be wonderful if it helped bad Basset backs.

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

Hi,
I would like to post this to the Daily Drool Digest? I am trying to help a
Basset Rescue out of Houston that is in a contest and they need all the
votes they can get for Trooper the Basset. Anyone can go to the website and
vote every hour. He is not very far behind so he needs everyone to vote so
the Basset Rescue can get some help. There is only 3 days left.The website
is http://www.facebook.com/PetFestOldTownSpring?sk=app_197602066931325. I
like to do anything I can to help save our homeless basset babies. Thank you
very much from me and my 2 hounds Pippa Girl and Daisy Mae:)


Ummm. Thanks. mom, for getting me this new bed. Sure is cushy. Zzzzz.
 
Upph, wazzat? Nah, I must've been dreaming. Surely no one said that this isn't my bed! It's so soft, and I haven't gotten a new bed since I've been here. About time the slaves recognized that I needed this. After all, even if I am a foster, I'm not going anywhere. I knew that the first moment I stepped foot inside this house.
 
Watta you saying, mom? Something about another foster. You don't need 'nother foster. You have me, me, me. I fill up your life, asking for love. When would you have time to pet another hound?
 
Well, if you insist. I can't stop you. But don't let that other hound think he's getting MY bed.
Holly the foster Dashing Basset
 
[Note from mom: I found a new bed at the pet store I go to. Cushy, cushy, cushy, and machine washable, though I may not be able to fit it into our washer. Just wish I'd looked more carefully at the directions, since it has to be air dried. But Holly plopped down on the bed within minutes of my putting it on the floor. She looks so happy, I don't have the heart to return it. I just hope that no one pees on it, or I'll be covering it over with something that is washable.
 
I've frequently looked in this store for a new bed, and nothing was good until today. It's a good thing Holly got to lay claim to it before we got new foster Dexter.
 
I hope Dexter doesn't mind getting one of the old beds. Holly has definitely labeled this one as hers, and quite frankly, she does deserve it. She's a good hound. Don't know how her original people could bear to let her go.]

While we were waiting  at the vet's to pick up our new foster, Dexter, I read part of a very interesting article in NATURAL DOG magazine, which included information on a new holistic method of treating bad backs and other problems.
 
This is a treatment called prolotherapy--it does not require invasive surgery, but treats with injections of destrose or vitamin B12 and lidocaine (for pain). It has been used for intevertebral disc disease, arthritis, and neck or back pain, among other things. They reported that it had a 90 percent success rate.
 
It's not a forever kind of treatment. You have to repeat it once a year, and I don't know what it costs, but it's supposed to be cheaper than surgery. It might be worth at least looking into, for those who cannot do the surgery.
 
To find a local vet who does this, go to www.ahvma.org and choose "find a holistic vet." In step 2, you will need to scroll down and click on "other."
 
All I know about it is what was in the article. I've never done this or even heard about it before; I've never even been to a holistic vet. But since so many hounds have had IVDD issues lately, I thought I'd mention it. When you have a dog with IVDD, you'll look into just about anything.
Pam, food slave to the Dashing Bassets

Prolotherapy is approved for use in humans, and works very well in many
cases - but like all treatments, it does not work on everything or everyone.
Most doctors don't know about it so they refer you to a surgeon. And if you
go to a surgeon, you're going to get surgery. As I understand it,
Prolotherapy is actually very irritating to the join and somehow this causes
the cartilage to start regenerating. Good to know they are starting to use
it on animals, too, it would be wonderful if it helped bad Basset backs.

good morning. i've been reading everyone's experiences and opinions about rage. maggie does not fall into that catagory but there is one thing that sets her off into attack mode. african-american(black) men. i am white and my husband is black and maggie loves him like crazy. he's always been so good to her and he's the one that spoils her. but anytime we have her outside and there is a black man walking up the street she will try to get them and i mean growling and pulling so hard i can barely contain her.i can tell she wants to "get"them. none of my husbands friends or family can come near her. i really am afraid she would bite. even the females aren't 100 % safe. we adopted her from a white family. all i can think of is someone hurt her. we can be outside and a white man can walk right by us and she just sniffs and maybe barks but not attack. at first i thought that mabye she's protecting us, because no matter who you are, you are not coming into her house. i just thought i'd throw that out there and see what you have to say. have a great day, kimberly & maggie

Momma here, the beach Gang is sending condolences to Jennifer at the loss of Louise, we will light the candle for safe passage, and we send heart healing drool, we are so sorry for your loss--

Pam drool coming for Abner, we hope the bleed stops and things take a turn for the better. We are so sorry, but we know he is under your watchful eye and we are greatful for that.

We were thrilled for Crackers, so glad he is home and on the road to recovery. Bloat is such a awful thing--we are just so glad he is doing well.


So---weather here at the "Beach"---snow in tomorrows forcast-now how did this happen--

Drool to all in need--



Debbie Winchester

Elder Sister Daisy, Brudder Jake We are so sorry to read of the passing of Wally and Louise – we are sending

to rot. Thank you so much for letting him know the joy of being loved for
his final months.



We are glad to hear that Gwendolyn is feeling better, the Molly the beagle
has nothing life threatening wrong. We hope that Abner and Marley get to

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

it on animals, too, it would be wonderful if it helped bad Basset backs.

good morning. i've been reading everyone's experiences and opinions about rage. maggie does not fall into that catagory but there is one thing that sets her off into attack mode. african-american(black) men. i am white and my husband is black and maggie loves him like crazy. he's always been so good to her and he's the one that spoils her. but anytime we have her outside and there is a black man walking up the street she will try to get them and i mean growling and pulling so hard i can barely contain her.i can tell she wants to "get"them. none of my husbands friends or family can come near her. i really am afraid she would bite. even the females aren't 100 % safe. we adopted her from a white family. all i can think of is someone hurt her. we can be outside and a white man can walk right by us and she just sniffs and maybe barks but not attack. at first i thought that mabye she's protecting us, because no matter who you are, you are not coming into her house. i just thought i'd throw that out there and see what you have to say. have a great day, kimberly & maggie




There are two bassets in the shelter in La Crosse Wisconsin.  Both
males, neutered, 7 years old and a bit "fluffy".  they are
owner surrenders and are reported to be very sweet.  Shelter staff
think they are very adoptable and that they will get homes, but I am
worried about them.  If all else fails, I will adopt them - they will
fit in to the senior and not so senior group in the kitchen, and being
boys Oprah probably will not roar at them and eat them.  Still it is
not the best time for us to add 2 more bassets as we are planning to breed
our otterhound and they tend to have large litters.

If anyone
has room for these two boys, give it some thought.

< runs. I usually have to mix the foods (old/new) together for about a week
at a 50/50 mixture, then go to a 25/75 mixture, then move to all new food.
Hope that helps.>>

I have found that this depends on the age and stomach of the hound. When we got Alexis, who was nine I had to switch her food very slowly. I thought she just had a tender tummy, Now I find that Belvedere, at age fourteen has the same problem. I think older hounds may take longer to successfully switch. You do it at whatever rate works for them. If they get the runs, you go back to the level that worked for them and give them a few more days at that level. Eventually it works.

I'm not sure why I do this to myself. I went to look up Holly the foster's breeder, in North Carolina, and I ended up on some miserable sites that just make me crazy.

On this one, some people who obviously should be looking for a rescue, not for some unknown person who will take the dog off their hands, have posted dogs cheap.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/c/1402/Basset-Hounds.html

I worry about the $100 dogs--who knows where they will end up?

Right now, I'm not up to dealing with another dog. Are there any rescuers out there who might be able to help these dogs?

I am barely able to get emails and all of a sudden my adoption applications are not coming through.

Even on a different computer since mine died. Everyone who I was emailing about Busters leg and eyes, he is doing very well. HIS EYES Look great!! Thank you everyone!!

Dr. Cook at Columbia University is going to be able to fix his gimpy leg he finally let us know that through an email but he did not give me an estimate and when I emailed back to ask I found he is out till the 19th so still waiting to hear that info from him. UGH!! First my vet went on vacation and now this doc is out till Tuesday.

I have found some specialist take their darn sweet time replying to me and when they do they are vague.

The starved boy I rescued found a great foster home and is a happy camper now. Life is going pretty well for now except these darned computer problems. I am so careful not to open emails that look funny or to go to websites that are odd so why me?

I'm behind on a couple of threads, thanks to having been out of town
for so long, but I'd like to contribute anyway.

Favorite Names: Noah Go Slowah, Heidi Go Lightly, Stella B. Low, Bob
the Dog, Shadie Babe (this sounds like it could be the name of a
racehorse or a vamp in an old-time musical), Abraham Galinkin (with
his feline sister Mary Galinkin), Polly Esther, and Loose Lips
Lucille. I'm noticing that I gravitate toward names that could be
puns, which is interesting because puns aren't my favorite form of
humor.

Repair People: I almost always crate our Elsinore and young Charlie
when we have any kind of service professional at the house. Elsinore
can be so territorial sometimes that even I am convinced and fear for
the intruder's safety. Charlie can be a hindrance since he assumes
the intruder is there solely to pat him. He can make it impossible
for a repair person to work because he keeps pushing his head up
under the guy's arm so the guy will pat him. Both hounds get terribly
underfoot, and people who aren't used to having to walk around long,
low dogs often end up tripping over them. So for everyone's safety,
even though Elsinore shouts the entire time, the hounds get crated,
at least until the job is done. Occasionally I'll let them out to
visit while I'm paying the bill, especially if the repair person says
he has or loves bassets.

It looks as if the in-laws are now planning on waiting until Saint
Sally dies before they try getting another dog. This could be any
day, since when we saw Sally last week she looked as if she was on
her last legs. She has that emaciated old-dog look now, and totters
around painfully with untreated arthritis (my mother-in-law refuses
to take anything stronger than aspirin for hers, so it's not to be
expected she'd do more for the dog's). Even though my husband
reminded him that Charlotte the Temp, their last failure, did fine
with the chickens for almost two years before deciding to go after
them, my father-in-law's decided he'll just ask the pound or shelter
if he can have a dog on a one-day trial basis, throw it in with the
chickens, and if the dog reacts badly he'll return it. I asked him if
he could just buy a dog from one of his neighbors who also keeps
chickens, but he says none of their neighbors or friends keeps both
chickens and dogs. Well, there's your sign, as Larry the Cable Guy
would say. Can you tell that this situation continues to weigh on me?

We had big excitement here last night. I heard Chloe, Jennifer's dog
who's visiting us this week, barking madly in the backyard, so I went
out to check. She was standing over something that looked like a dead
squirrel or a large dead pigeon. Young Charlie and Charlotte the Temp
joined us, making things even more chaotic. I raced back into the
house for a flashlight and high-premium treats, ran back out again,
shone my flashlight on the mass on the ground, and discovered Chloe
had found a young possum that looked very dead. The operative word
here, of course, is "looked."

Ken helped me hustle everyone back inside, though Chloe had to be
dragged back in on a leash. Just before bedtime I went out again to
cautiously double-check the carcass and found nothing. Apparently
that possum really had been playing dead. This was a relief because I
sure didn't want to have to deal with a body disposal first thing in
the morning. I'm also relieved that the possum chose to play dead
instead of fight back. As expected, as soon as I unlocked the doggie
door this morning, Chloe was out like a shot to go get that possum.
She doesn't seem too disappointed it's no longer there. Maybe she
figures there'll be more? Charlie and Charlotte have forgotten all
about the animal. Elsinore had already put herself to bed before all
this happened, so she has no idea what she missed, which is probably
just as well.

Hi veronica. If you've said before how old Flash is, I've missed it.
But as I read your e-mail- and thank you for being thorough and
informative, that's always very helpful - the only thing that occurred
to me was that maybe he has a doggy version of alzheimer's? I know
that some people with alzheimer's develop fixations. I had a friend
whose mother, who lived with him, developed the absolute fixation that
his bassets were not being fed enough, so she would feed them things
out of the refrigerator - hotdogs, cheese - at 3 am while he was
asleep. His dogs got immensely fat, and he and his vet were so
puzzled - the poor dogs were constantly on diet food, etc., they ran
bloodwork for thyroid problems - until he finally figured out what was
going on. Once his mom finally went into a nursing home, his dogs
lost a bunch of weight.

Anyway, so it occurs to me that it's at least possible that Flash has
developed a similar fixation on water. His brain has convinced him
that he is constantly thirsty, even though he obviously isn't. That's
the only idea I had. Best wishes to you both; I absolutely know how
frustrating it is to be constantly "riding the mop", as Debbie
Winchester says.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Veronica Woodruff <>

I'm sure that at least one Drooler will have some practical advice
about Flash's condition.

Everything that could possibly be wrong with Flash has been ruled out
by the vet (Cushing's, too). Last week Flash spent the day in a water
deprivation test and it showed inconclusive. Dr. MacDonald said the
only thing left to do was to treat Flash 'as if' he has diabetes
insipidus. So now Flash is on Rhinyle DDAVP which is used for humans
who have diabetes insipidus (Flashy gets two drops twice a day in his
eye).

I asked the vet if he thought Flash might have a brain tumour or mass
that causes him to drink like an insane thing (I've had to limit him
to 10 cups of water a day; Flash would drink 10 gallons if he could.

So riddle-me-ree, Droolers: Does anyone have a clue what might really
be wrong with Flash? Or is it diabetes insipidus that doesn't respond
to drugs (as in 50% of cases)?

Paul and I are both thanking you all in advance.

Hi,
I would like to post this to the Daily Drool Digest? I am trying to help a
Basset Rescue out of Houston that is in a contest and they need all the
votes they can get for Trooper the Basset. Anyone can go to the website and
vote every hour. He is not very far behind so he needs everyone to vote so
the Basset Rescue can get some help. There is only 3 days left.The website
is http://www.facebook.com/PetFestOldTownSpring?sk=app_197602066931325. I
like to do anything I can to help save our homeless basset babies. Thank you
very much from me and my 2 hounds Pippa Girl and Daisy Mae:)


Ummm. Thanks. mom, for getting me this new bed. Sure is cushy. Zzzzz.
 
Upph, wazzat? Nah, I must've been dreaming. Surely no one said that this isn't my bed! It's so soft, and I haven't gotten a new bed since I've been here. About time the slaves recognized that I needed this. After all, even if I am a foster, I'm not going anywhere. I knew that the first moment I stepped foot inside this house.
 
Watta you saying, mom? Something about another foster. You don't need 'nother foster. You have me, me, me. I fill up your life, asking for love. When would you have time to pet another hound?
 
Well, if you insist. I can't stop you. But don't let that other hound think he's getting MY bed.
Holly the foster Dashing Basset
 
[Note from mom: I found a new bed at the pet store I go to. Cushy, cushy, cushy, and machine washable, though I may not be able to fit it into our washer. Just wish I'd looked more carefully at the directions, since it has to be air dried. But Holly plopped down on the bed within minutes of my putting it on the floor. She looks so happy, I don't have the heart to return it. I just hope that no one pees on it, or I'll be covering it over with something that is washable.
 
I've frequently looked in this store for a new bed, and nothing was good until today. It's a good thing Holly got to lay claim to it before we got new foster Dexter.
 
I hope Dexter doesn't mind getting one of the old beds. Holly has definitely labeled this one as hers, and quite frankly, she does deserve it. She's a good hound. Don't know how her original people could bear to let her go.]

While we were waiting  at the vet's to pick up our new foster, Dexter, I read part of a very interesting article in NATURAL DOG magazine, which included information on a new holistic method of treating bad backs and other problems.
 
This is a treatment called prolotherapy--it does not require invasive surgery, but treats with injections of destrose or vitamin B12 and lidocaine (for pain). It has been used for intevertebral disc disease, arthritis, and neck or back pain, among other things. They reported that it had a 90 percent success rate.
 
It's not a forever kind of treatment. You have to repeat it once a year, and I don't know what it costs, but it's supposed to be cheaper than surgery. It might be worth at least looking into, for those who cannot do the surgery.
 
To find a local vet who does this, go to www.ahvma.org and choose "find a holistic vet." In step 2, you will need to scroll down and click on "other."
 
All I know about it is what was in the article. I've never done this or even heard about it before; I've never even been to a holistic vet. But since so many hounds have had IVDD issues lately, I thought I'd mention it. When you have a dog with IVDD, you'll look into just about anything.
Pam, food slave to the Dashing Bassets

Prolotherapy is approved for use in humans, and works very well in many
cases - but like all treatments, it does not work on everything or everyone.
Most doctors don't know about it so they refer you to a surgeon. And if you
go to a surgeon, you're going to get surgery. As I understand it,
Prolotherapy is actually very irritating to the join and somehow this causes
the cartilage to start regenerating. Good to know they are starting to use
it on animals, too, it would be wonderful if it helped bad Basset backs.

Poor Bosley. He's being aggressive, I am fairly sure, because of the pain in his ears.
 
Our Alexis came to us with a pseudomonas infection that had plagued her, no doubt, for many years. She was an incredibly sweet hound, until it came to her ears. As time went on, her ears seemed to hurt worse, despite the many treatments we tried. Eventually, she would not let me put anything in one ear (I think it was the right one).
 
At that point, the vet insisted that she have a total ear canal ablation in that ear. He told me she was having pain that he compared to a migraine, from the ear problem. Tri-State, for whom we fostered her, had the surgery done, and the pain ended. She barely had hearing in that ear, but it was better than having constant pain.
 
Afterwards, we constantly used the Blue Power Ear Treatment on her remaining ear. It didn't completely stop the infection, but it kept it under control. She never lost that ear canal to a TECA. But pay heed to the warnings that come with the BPET directions. It is not for all situations. Had we used it in the really painful ear, I think we could have caused her even more pain.
 
http://itsfortheanimals.com/Adobe/Blue%20Power%20Ear%20Treatment.pdf
 
I do not think a vet should have a cavalier attitude towards pseudomonas. It is best treated aggressively, not simply written off as a lifelong thing. If treated well early on, it may be stopped.  But you have to treat regularly and consistently.
 
Our current foster Holly struggles with the same thing. I have repeatedly had her at the vet's. I'm wondering the best course to follow now too.
