Mary, you’ve written Molly’s story beautifully.  Of course I cried as I know you cried writing it. I have no doubt it will be of help to  other cat and dog owners.

Regards, Vally & Bingo

Hi Mary,

I’d love to see a photo of your Molly IF you feel like posting it.  Mable too.  You can use the Upload Your Photo on the right if you do want to.  No pressure though – I know at Bingo’s worst, I had to take all his photos off my computer screensaver at work – I was a mess and would start crying every time his photos would come up.

Yes and welcome to the Crazy paranoid club (Brigitte, we have to change the name – Crazy paranoid dog women no longer covers it!).

Love Vally & Bingo

Oh no, Linda caught in a time warp!!!

Linda, I was the same, total mess – we paranoids need our safety lines.

Joe, I’m thrilled to hear that she’s doing well. I think about you guys often.

How much longer for the treatment?

Hi Mary-Jane

I’m so very sorry that you’ve lost your Molly. It’s such a horrible disease in that it hits so suddenly and aggressively and unfortunately so very often the disease wins the battle.

I  think you’re just absolutely fabulous to come here and offer to support others.

My very best

No I wasn’t able to see it either – I intended to wake up for it, but didn’t (I worked out it was on at 5am my time).

I’d appreciate finding out about the recording too Brigitte.

Oh Joe, don’t apologise.  Dunes was such a  part of you.

Hoping Nauset can start to improve and beat this thing.

Love Vally

Linda, Bingo tried Cartrophan (which I think is the same) before further lameness and testing confirmed his is rheumatoid arthritis, at which stage the specialist said not to bother to continue with it.  It was the specialist who originally recommended I try it as he said it had good results with most dogs.

Bingo had a course of 4 injections over 4 weeks and the plan was to have one done each month after that.  They weren’t expensive – I think I paid about $30 for the injection and wasn’t charged by the vet – I was expecting to have to pay for a consultation the first time I went but no.

The only reaction he seemed to have to it was he was quieter the next day, which is listed as a side effect. It does apparently have a good safety record. I checked all that before I decided to give it a go.

Lady at work tried it for her dog, but she said it didn’t work.  I would give it a shot (or 4).
