The vet actually gave me a prescrip for Xanax for the dogs so I can trim their nails. There's ONE place in North GA that will do my older male's and it's 60 miles away. He goes through a lot of "Howard Hughes" phases.

My dog used to sit quietly while I trimmed his nails, but now that he's much older he's gotten all crotchety about having his paws fiddled with, and he tends to want to bite. I had to go get a muzzle for him, something I've never had to use on him ever... but the damn thing works. He doesn't like it much (the muzzle), but he becomes so absorbed with it that it's a LOT easier for me to trim those nails of his.
His eyesight has faded a little as well. Not super badly, but some.... enough that he sometimes steps in his own poop if I don't watch him every second of the day. I keep a bucket of lightly soapy water near the door, with a tiny bit of chlorine bleach in it, and I wash his paws before he enters the house... and again have to apply the muzzle now in order to accomplish that.
I hate putting it on him probably as much as he hates having it, but damn... I have to do something, right?

they also have a puralube which I will get for him after his eye heals.
I was reading what can cause this on bug eyed dogs, is their eye lids dont close all the way.So while sleep they get dry eye and add rapid eye movement while sleeping, the eye gets irritated and it eventually become a ulcer. Puralube would keep the eye moist at night its a jelly. |
Thanks, good info there.
