Hi Joyce. Welcome to the list -- I think you'll enjoy being here, and a lot of wisdom is shared here.
Regarding your dog with incontinence -- I'm glad to hear that whatever you're doing is working. You could certainly be right about an infection, etc. But if your dog is old, there's a possibility that she has some vertebral arthritis -- which results in blockage of the electrical impulses from the brain to the bladder (and back) that tell a dog when they need to go. I went through this with my dog last year when she was 14 years old. The vet told me that it was age-related kidney failure, blah-blah. An online alternative vet told me to find an animal chiropractor for her. I did. Turns out she had arthritic lesions in four places. She became *continent* after one treatment -- and remains so if I take her in every seven or eight weeks for treatment. She's fifteen years old this year, and is healthier and friskier now than she has been for some time -- so I think she was dealing with physical limitations, and perhaps pain, for some time. So -- for whatever it's worth -- one thing you'll learn for sure on this list is that there are many different ways to approach solving a problem!! Ain't life grand? :-D Mary Ann ________________________________ From: Joyce Miller <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, April 10, 2012 8:29:54 AM Subject: CS>Joining the list I am Joyce Miller, a new member. I am very interested in CS; my husband makes ours, and I use if for myself and with our dogs. We have one dog who has had some incontinence issues, and I tried many supplements. I think some worked and reduced the amount of incontince but since I started using CS instead of water in her food, we have had virtually no incontinence. Is it the CS or the supplements or both? I do not know, but I do know that CS had to play a role in her healing. The vet had said that it was a weakness probably created by her being spayed years ago; I am now thinking that it was some kind of infection and that the CS is what is helping her. Because of this experience, I want to learn as much as I can about CS. Thank you for this list.
