Geomagnetic or Solar Storms. And on those times where there are both a super full moon and a lunar eclipse. All of these activities can have an affect on dogs who experience seizures .   Lunar Eclipse & Full Moons   While the effects of such lunar activity seems to be debatable, people who have Epi-dogs that have been triggered know different. According to Meaghan Callahan, DVM, MS, CVA (Veterinarian and Acupuncturist at Pebble Creek Animal Hospital in Tampa, Florida) in an article in Heavy.com, " There is, in fact, anecdotal evidence revealing changes in animal behavioral dating back over 700 years. There is so much we, as scientists, do not yet understand about the interactions of the solar system and it’s effects on the animal kingdo...

Harley says, "Thank woo, everyone, for all your kindness!" Harley Update: Wonderful news! The pathology report for Harley's dewclaw tumor was benign! Happy dance! It showed a deep infection, but no cancer! SO relieved! She had her bandages changed by our fab vet, and she is now limping less. (To read original post and view the pics, visit HERE ).   ❤️ Thank You ❤️ for all your prayers, healing vibes, lovely messages, and love for our girl. Harley sends you all big Husky hugs and once again a reminder to periodically check those paws and dewclaws.  

Harley Update: Home From Surgery!

Image
Yesterday was a long day of waiting as Harley went in for her surgery to remove the infected dewclaw and tumor (see previous post and pics HERE ), but our Harley is back home! Surgery was performed by my "dream team" and it went well. Dewclaw and suspected tumor have been removed. Harley had a severe abscess deep in there. The vet sent off a sample, but preliminary report seems good, other than the infection.  Harley is currently on restricted rest, antibiotics, and pain medication, and she will have the bandage removed and a follow-up on Thursday. She was quite out of it from the anesthesia, but now is resting and more herself. We and the #FiveSibes Pupsters are just so happy she is back home! Chloe, since she loves to chill, is busy keeping her company! ❤️ THANK YOU ❤️ for all your amazing prayers, well wishes, and caring notes since my post about her surgery. Harley sure feels all the love! I am so thankful to be part of such an amazing and caring pet commun...

Update on Wolf * Post-Surgery

Image
Good morning! Wolf's surgery went well! The two masses removed and all looks good. They appear to be fatty, non-invasive tumors. They are being sent out to be certain. The tiny ones in his mouth turned out to be bone, and are all A-OK! He is home resting (under the watchful eye of his sis, Chloe) and a little out of it from the anesthesia and meds. But, he is home! Wolf had a good night. He slept well. (Waaaay better than Mom!)  He is such a good boy; a bit woozy, but comfy, not fussing with surgical areas, and happy to be home. I thank God and my angel Mom for keeping him safe, and I know furangel Gibson's strong fighting spirit is right alongside his little bro.  Harley, the Pupster's surrogate momma, and our alpha queen, checked on Wolf and sniffed him all over before relaxing. An alpha queen Momma's job is never done! Wolf goes back to the vet in a week for a follow-up visit, but we are all feeling very positive. Now...onward to healing!  We ...
