"Nancy at this point it really is a wait and see. Hopefully it is the only seizure he will have.
I would prepare what I used to refer to as the "seizure" kit. An ice pack (frozen peas actually work well) and plain vanilla ice…"

"Thank you so much for this information, Lori! It helps a lot.At this point, do you know if Visbiome is available anywhere else besides through the manufacturer?"
"If it helps at all, I did a lot of research regarding VSL3 and Visbiome last year before the lawsuit went to trial. I was just looking to see if I could find a product that was a little less expensive than VSL3 for my Bob. :-) I compared the…"
"That's what I have to look into, Nancy. I have to find info from an independent source telling me that Visbiome is the same as VSL#3. OR...I have to look at a package of Visbiome and compare it to the info on the VSL#3 bottle I still have."
"My brain hurts reading this confusing stuff. I read the first letter way back when but the other articles are new to me......
So ------what product do we ask for at CVS et al? I still have some VSL#3 so don't currently have a…"
"I would be so upset about this if JD were still with me. As it is, now I'm going to have to find accurate information on this Visbiome that doesn;t come from either of these warring former partners. :( "
"Thank you Karen. "
"And more conflicting statements:https://www.visbiome.com/blogs/visbiome-vs-vsl-3/note-to-healthcare-professionals-and-patients"
"Hmmm...I'm finding conflicting info. The ex-business partner had sued them and apparently won. I'm seeing articles stating that the product is now sold as Visbiome and there is no more…"
"I haven't needed to buy it since Jack died, but I always got it at CVS. "
"Karen, I used to give my daughter VSL#3. I haven’t been able to get it for months. Can you still find it? Costco used to carry it and I used to be able to order it on Amazon."
"Thank you, I have Amazon prime so usually get things next day but your right it's always good to have on hand especially when we are traveling and away from home. The dogs first aid box is twice the size of ours. lol "
"VSL#3 doesn't have an expiration date, so I thought that might be true of Proviable as well."
"Just about everything has an expiration date nowadays whether it’s meaningful or not. I ignore many of them. Pay attention to them if you take aspirin, digitalis or antibiotics!"
"I would re-order it, just to be on the safe side. I don't think it has an expiration date, and even if it does, with 3 dogs, you're bound to use them before they expire. Better safe than sorry. If she's been off it for several…"
"Karen, quick question. Maisie has been on the probiotic you recommended when we first brought her home back on October. We ran out and I am wondering if she's good now or if it should be part of her daily intake from here on? …"

Boomer and Mariner are biological brothers. Mariner fractured his skull @ 7 weeks old, causing blindness and a seizure disorder. As a puppy he had to relearn everything, walking, eating, peeing, etc. Mariner has gradually regained much of his eyesight. He has not had a seizure in over 4 years (as of 12/25/14), since his medication was changed to potassium bromide

Welcome to the Sheepadoodle group. I have not been around recently, but we have just about finished our second year in Oregon. MonaChica is doing great and here is a recent photo of her. Today we went walking at Taylor Creek (one of our favorite bike ride and dog walk areas) to look at the fire damage. It is amazing. But, spring is coming in the not too distant future.undefined

- Thanks for the friend request! Toby was diagnosed with oral melanoma in March 2015. He began receiving ONCEPT vaccines in April and so far, the cancer hasn't spread to his lymph nodes or lungs. I believe that Toby received 4 vaccines and then booster shots. Beginning April of this year, he will only need booster shots every 6 months. So far, ONCEPT has cost us over $10,000. We have pet insurance, so they pay about 60% of the total cost. Our oncologist also wanted Toby to take chemotherapy medication, but it was too expensive for us. How is Boomer doing?

- Thank you for tying the friend request, and for tying the Tail Injury posts together.
I'm glad to have a community of Doodle Lovers to share the joy and sometimes pain of loving and living with these wonderful creatures.

Yes, beef tendons and beef tracheas are good use of animal by-products and I like that idea. Just got another package of bully sticks for my dogs and they get 20 minutes a day (takes them three days) to chew them. Outside only! Then I put them in a zip-lock bag and store until the next day. I also don't use rawhide because I could see problems with that but my vet said she has never taken a rawhide out of a dog's stomach and she has surgically removed all kinds of things. Agrees that bullysticks are a good use of animal byproducts.
