@RandyC have you tried lick mat for ChewChew? We've added this to Hope's Happiness protocol recently (which I forgot to mention in my previous post) and it's working great! She looks forward to her licky session every day! These are what we use for Hope...

Hi @RandyC - I misread your previous post - you're seeking recommendations for internal medicine specialists. Unfortunately, I don't know any "specialists" but integrative vets in the OC area. My preference is getting all the diagnostics done by a local vet then send those reports off to our...

Hi @RandyC - I know quite a few but they're all located in Orange County, California. Would you still be interested?

My doggie Hope LOVES ADORES is PASSIONATE about her snuffle sessions. She has 7 snuffle mats and 10 snuffle balls all at once. She also LOVES laying on her back for a long belly rub. We started doing Tui Na on her once a day and oh boy, she LOVES it very much. She enjoys sniff walk occasionally...

This is great to hear! Keep doing what you're doing to keep him happy. If you haven't already, checked out the article on Happiness protocols...:)

This is my girl before we went on the trail

That's a great idea - "not based on eating..." - I heeded your advice and took her on a trail today. She had a lot of fun I could tell. My husband is also looking into a front carrier so he could take her on bike rides in the morning :)

Amen to that, Yuji! :) :pup::dog2: That is a great idea! :D As of now, Hope does a 40-50 mins snuffle session, 2 times a day with a 20-30 mins session in between, per day. I use crumbled (needs to be soften due to her lack of teeth) freeze-dried or (water-soaked) air-dried heart treats or...

Hello @Dr. Jeff and @GinnyW , Do the benefits of snuffling (mats and balls) trump the benefits of feeding in the 8-hour eating window? If possible, Hope would do snuffle mats/balls all day long but that breaks her feeding window. She is at her happiest when she's snuffling though....Let me...

Hi @Dr. Sara - could you elaborate on her "neediness" - I am trying to understand how to better observe and describe behaviors such as this.

I have resent them again via (regular) email as well as here. Please let me know if you have any trouble receiving them.

@Dr. Jeff - I have just received the ultrasound reports. I have sent them to you directly.

Mood in her BEAM dropped slightly.

@Dr. Jeff - Today, I noticed Hope drips more than before and her vaginal area is a bit "bitter" smelling. She licks the area more often than in the past few days as well. Will update soon.

how interesting...that's close to where Dr. Gordon is (www.archbeachvet.com) ...by the way, he's recommending heart ultrasound as well for her murmur! Any thoughts?

That sounds like FUN! Unfortunately, that's the time when Hope and I will be out for our first walk of the day. Do they offer recordings of these sessions?

Thanks Dr. Jeff! We will get the ultrasound done this coming Friday.

I was given an option of Ultrasound OR X-ray...what would you suggest?

Dr Gordon suggested we bring her back for an ultrasound/x-ray....what are your thoughts?

Here are the results...
