This is what i do daily:Morning: I will wake up before my mom,ususally I will walk around her bedside till she wake up.
Immediately she wake up,she will do some excerise before she get down the bed then she will kiss me and give me a healing massage over all my body to relax my muscle and promote blood circulations.
Then I will take my breadfast before everyone in the family.Next, is my favourit walk section near the neighbour hood .I have to check out what is going on out there by checking on all trees and lamp poles,it is like reading morning newspaper.As I am a dominant male dog,I have to cover everydog's urine spot.I love mixing around with young beautiful female dogs and also enjoy fight with other male to show that I am strong and as a leader .I am free to walk whatever area in my wish.Each walk last about at least 20 mins to 45 mins each section.Usually t will go for walk 3 times a day.
Beforem my mom go out or to work,she will give me many treat before I let her go.If not I will bark at her and refused to let her closed the door.Then I will wait quietly at the door till she come back.Last time ,she used to work very long hours and I am left at home alone.When she left the house, i just cant wait till she is back.I just sat at the door and refused to move around and drink water.This made me sick and I am diagnosis with Oxalate bladder stones.
I have gone through a very painful operation to take out my stone.It costs about $900 but the worst part is the 10 days recovery part after operation.I have to stay at home for 10 days and a little tube is insert in my private part to let the urine pass.You will never image how painful is it and I have been crying in pain for the first day after operation.But I am a strong and willful dog,so I am able to go through the most difficuilt period in my life.That happen when I am around 9 years old.
After that I am feeding on Hill U/D diets special for bladder stone patient.And there are prevention taken to avoid further stone forming.You can check out the list belowed for prevention:
to increase water consumption and thus help dilute the urine. It is especially important to avoid table scraps when caring for an oxalate stone forming dog. Still, no one wants their dog to live life without treats. The following treats are acceptable for oxalate stone forming dogs: plain cooked chicken, plain cooked turkey, eggs, rice, peas, and pasta.
Supplementation with Vitamins D or C also increase risk of forming oxalate stones; such supplementation should be discontinued.
Potassium citrate also helps create an alkaline urine (in which calcium oxalate stones have difficulty forming). Potassium citrate supplements are typically given twice a day.It has to feed on low protien treat and foods too.
After my operation,my mom start to find works that can work from home as she will refer to spend more time with me for my health.She said she will rather earn last but able to spend more time with me.She want me to spend the best times in my golden years.Money cant buy happiness so she only wish is to spend as much times happily with me as possible .We are now living happily together and I find that my health improve too.Even my mom is happier and she has more times to learn whatever she liked like,healing,chi gong,meditation and her latest interest is develop the right brain or so call subconsious mind.beside,we are also develop a web site on pets,we hope that all pets lovers and friends will join us when our web site is launched.In this way my mom will be able to work from home and can spend more times with me.
Usually I will go for walk around 6pm then take my dinner .Around 10 pm before sleep,I need to go for another walk.Before sleep,there will be another massage section about 10 to 15 mins.This help me to relax and sleep better.That end a day.Good Nite and Thank
