Dog with hind limb paralysis
I'm up against a wall w/no one to help. I'm in Ghana, W. Africa and I have a 2 yo female Great Dane. She has gradually lost her ability to walk and stand so now she is reduced to me holding her to pee & poop or doing it on herself. She is very alert and has all her energy and eat & drinks just fine. She has very dark poop which the vets here first said was blood and now after medication say it is bile from the liver. She's on this stuff called Liv.52 (liver stimulant) for that. I'm told by some vets that she may have been poisoned (rat poison probably) and so they gave her shots of a detox agent and vitamin K. On her medication card they have listed: DADA, Oxylet, Dexa, MVT, Vitamin K. I don't really know what each means. I don't believe that it is poisoning. The vets that agree with me say that I should just give her vitamin B complex or this stuff called Neurobion Tablets (vitamins B1+B6+B12) and pain killers. They've done blood and fecal test for parasites and have come up with nothing (not that they may not have done things incorrectly). She is about 1.5 years and has not gone into heat yet - although I'm worried that she may be going into heat since last night she had some blood-like secretion from her female area. |

Dog eating Starburst candy
I know this sounds like a weird question but will Starburst candy hurt a bassett hound? She's a 1yo female neutered Bassett.
