My 5 year old Charlie has officially been a Tripawd since Aug 27, 2012 (although has functioned as a Tripawd since suffering from a FCE (fibrocartilaginous embolism, aka stroke of the spine) March 2012, and not regaining use of his left front leg) <a title="Charlie's FCE recovery" href="">See his video here</a> or <a title="When Life gives you lemons" href="https://charliewarlie.tripawds.com" target="_blank">Charlie's Blog</a></p> <p>He also has a slight deficit in his left rear leg but has been getting around quite well as a Tripawd. We have been doing some serious weight management, and continue bi-weekly hydrotherapy. </p> <p>Just the last week, he's become less active. He's eating and drinking just fine. He doesn't show any specific pain. He just doesn't seem himself. I honestly think he's depressed. The weather is changing and his siblings are out playing and enjoying the spring weather. I think he's tired of hopping around and not being able to keep up running and playing.</p> <p>I read about <a href="https://amazon.tripawds.com/2010/04/14/best-pain-relief-for-dogs-is-nature-made-sam-e/" target="_blank">Sam-e </a> (<a title="Sam-e" href="https://amazon.tripawds.com/2013/02/27/sam-e-helps-alleviate-joint-pain-in-cats-dogs/" target="_blank">Tripawds and Sam-e</a>) and ordered some from Amazon. When I received it, I was interested to read that it also elevates moods (at least in humans) We haven't started giving it to him, but I'm interested whether anyone using this supplement has found it elevates a dogs mood. I have read that a dog's brain works similar to a human's and am hoping it might do the trick for Charlie.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div></div></div><div class='spTopicPostSection spEven spType-Admin spRank-admin spSpecialRank-team-tripawds spSpecialRank-administrators spUserPost' id='eachPost101570'><a id='p101570'></a><div class='spUserSection spLeft' id='spColTopic1795445859' style='min-height: 50px'><div id='spPostIndexUserDate101570' class='spPostUserDate spCenter'>29 April 2013<br />10:00 am</div><div class='spPostUserAvatar spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/1035/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'><img alt='' src='https://tripawds.com/avatar/user-1035-96.png' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' /></a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserName101570' class='spPostUserName spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/1035/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'>Tripawds</a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserLocatin101570' class='spPostUserLocation spCenter'>On The Road</div><div id='spPostIndexUserSpecialRank101570' class='spPostUserSpecialRank spCenter'><i class="badge2-jerryspack.png spUserBadge"></i><br /><span class="spSpecialRank-team-tripawds">Team Tripawds</span><br /><i class="badge2-admin.png spUserBadge"></i><br /><span class="spSpecialRank-administrators">Administrators</span><br /></div><div id='spPostIndexUserPosts101570' class='spPostUserPosts spCenter'>Forum Posts: 35</div><div id='spPostIndexUserRegistered101570' class='spPostUserRegistered spCenter'>Member Since:<br /> 25 September 2009</div><div id='spPostIndexUserStatus101570' class='spCenter spPostUserStatus'><span class='spPostUserStatusOffline'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_UserOfflineSmall.png' alt='sp_UserOfflineSmall' /> Offline</span></div><div class='spCenter'><a id='spPostIndexUserWebsite101570' class='spPostUserWebsite' href='https://tripawds.com/' title='Visit my website' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_UserWebsite.png' alt='sp_UserWebsite' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserFacebook101570' class='spPostUserFacebook' href='https://www.facebook.com/tripawds' title='Connect with me on Facebook' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Facebook.png' alt='sp_Facebook' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserLinkedIn101570' class='spPostUserLinkedIn' href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcnjr/' title='My LinkedIn network' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_LinkedIn.png' alt='sp_LinkedIn' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserYouTube101570' class='spPostUserYouTube' href='https://www.youtube.com/tripawds' title='View my YouTube channel' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_YouTube.png' alt='sp_YouTube' /> </a></div></div><div class='spPostSection spRight' id='spColTopic22771793728' style='min-height: auto'><div class='spPostActionSection'><div class='spRight spGoToTop'><a class='spRight spGoToTop' href='#spForumTop'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_ArrowUp.png' alt='Go to Top' title='Go to Top' /> </a></div><span id='spPostIndexNumber101570' class='spLabelBordered spLeft'>2</span><a class='spButton spLeft' id='spPostIndexPermalink101570' title='The post permalink' rel='nofollow' href='http://tripawds.com/forums/hopping-around/depression-1/#p101570'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Permalink.png' alt='sp_Permalink' /> </a><a class='spButton spLeft spPrintThisPost' id='spPostIndexPrint101570' title='Print this post' rel='nofollow' data-postid='spPostIndexContent101570'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Print.png' alt='sp_Print' /> </a></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPostContentSection'><div id='spPostIndexContent101570' class='spPostContent'><p>Hey welcome back, it's good to hear from you guys even though Charley seems to be down, I'm sorry to hear about. I'm curious about how the SAM-e works for him. I know others have tried it here and their forum posts are in various places.</p> <p>As for the signs of depression, keep in mind that a lot of times what looks like depression to humans is in reality a dog's way of masking illness of some sort. Remember that in the wild a dog will go and hide, they will separate him or herself from the pack, when s/he is feeling weak. This is a dogs way of hiding symptoms. Many dogs will do this in their own households too. So even if he isn't showing any outward signs of pain, perhaps it's a good idea to have him checked out by your vet to make sure there isn't anything internally going on (I hope not!). I really believe that if your instincts are telling you something isn't right, it's good to have a vet look him over and run some bloodwork just to be sure.</p> <p>Keep us posted OK?</p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPostSignatureSection' style="width:inherit;margin-top:80px"><div id='spPostIndexUserSignature101570' class='spPostUserSignature spCenter' style="max-height:55px;position:absolute;bottom: 0;width:inherit"><p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: bold">Tripawds Founders Jim and Rene</span><br /> <a href="https://tripawds.com" rel="noopener" target="_blank">tripawds.com</a> | <a href="https://tripawds.org" rel="noopener" target="_blank">tripawds.org</a> | <a href="https://bemoredog.net" rel="noopener" target="_blank">bemoredog.net</a> | <a href="https://triday.pet" rel="noopener" target="_blank">triday.pet</a></p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div></div></div><div class='spTopicPostSection spOdd spType-User spRank-member spUsergroup-members spUserPost spAuthorPost' id='eachPost101583'><a id='p101583'></a><div class='spUserSection spLeft' id='spColTopic13529439111' style='min-height: 50px'><div id='spPostIndexUserDate101583' class='spPostUserDate spCenter'>29 April 2013<br />2:22 pm</div><div class='spPostUserAvatar spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/4868/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'><img alt='' src='https://tripawds.com/avatar/user-4868-96.png' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' /></a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserName101583' class='spPostUserName spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/4868/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'>charliewarlie</a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserRank101583' class='spPostUserRank spCenter'><span class="spRank-member">Member </span></div><div id='spPostIndexUserMemberships101583' class='spPostUserMemberships spCenter'><span class="spUserGroup-members">Members</span><br /></div><div id='spPostIndexUserPosts101583' class='spPostUserPosts spCenter'>Forum Posts: 10</div><div id='spPostIndexUserRegistered101583' class='spPostUserRegistered spCenter'>Member Since:<br /> 31 May 2012</div><div id='spPostIndexUserStatus101583' class='spCenter spPostUserStatus'><span class='spPostUserStatusOffline'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_UserOfflineSmall.png' alt='sp_UserOfflineSmall' /> Offline</span></div><div class='spCenter'></div></div><div class='spPostSection spRight' id='spColTopic21270303101' style='min-height: auto'><div class='spPostActionSection'><div class='spRight spGoToTop'><a class='spRight spGoToTop' href='#spForumTop'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_ArrowUp.png' alt='Go to Top' title='Go to Top' /> </a></div><span id='spPostIndexNumber101583' class='spLabelBordered spLeft'>3</span><a class='spButton spLeft' id='spPostIndexPermalink101583' title='The post permalink' rel='nofollow' href='http://tripawds.com/forums/hopping-around/depression-1/#p101583'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Permalink.png' alt='sp_Permalink' /> </a><a class='spButton spLeft spPrintThisPost' id='spPostIndexPrint101583' title='Print this post' rel='nofollow' data-postid='spPostIndexContent101583'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Print.png' alt='sp_Print' /> </a></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPostContentSection'><div id='spPostIndexContent101583' class='spPostContent'><p>Good point Jerry!

I ended up getting area rugs for the ENTIRE house. He now can go anywhere he wants without problems. Now that the good weather is here, we like to enjoy our deck. Charlie doesn't do well on it without his PAWS boots. We just can't leave the boots on all the time, since they don't 'breathe'. If his slips/trips, I can definitely notice a change in his mood. I'm still searching for just the right thing to give him the <a href="https://gear.tripawds.com/2010/12/21/best-traction-for-tripawds/" target="_blank">traction </a> he needs!!</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for your post Jerry!!

AND thanks to the Admin for tips on negotiating around the Tripawds site. </p> <p> </p> <p>Charlie is feeling good. We've been doing the <a href="https://amazon.tripawds.com/2010/04/14/best-pain-relief-for-dogs-is-nature-made-sam-e/" target="_blank">Sam-e </a> for a couple days. I can't say I've noticed a difference yet with his mood. Charlie has a 'different' personality. He's a grumpy growler by nature. (even pre-FCE) Kind of an independent 'cat' type personality. But we love him just the same. I'm sure <a href="https://amazon.tripawds.com/2010/04/14/best-pain-relief-for-dogs-is-nature-made-sam-e/" target="_blank">Sam-e </a> won't change his personality, but I think it has many benefits to make sure he continues to feel good.</p> <p> </p> <p>He's been getting some great home massages several times a day. I'm also thinking about taking him to the doggie Chiropractor. He still has some deficit in his left rear (same side as front amputation) and he tends to skip when he walks, and curves a bit to his amputation side. His physical therapist has been giving us tips for things to do at home, trying to keep his spine from curving. (sleeping over a small pillow on his amputation side - offering him treats, holding them at shoulder height along his 'good' non-amputation side, so he has to curve that direction) The only time he really seems 'in-sync' is when he's at a full run on level ground.

I had to give it some time before I could really give an opinion. I believe it MAY be helping 'elevate' his mood. Possibly because it is supposed to help his joints as well?? I don't know. But whatever the reason, Charlie has been happy, active and playful!! Charlie is also on a supplement called YuMove (which can be purchased on Amazon.com) We did stop the supplements for a few days, because he was starting another prescription (an antibiotic.....due to a slight case of kennel cough from a short boarding stay. He is up to date on his bordatella, but I guess it's like a cold or flu.....many strains that the vaccine doesn't cover) Anyway, I wanted to make sure we didn't have any upset tummies, so I quit the supplements for a few days. I do believe I could tell he was doing much better (physically and emotionally) after starting the supplements again. I can't say for sure if it's the <a href="https://amazon.tripawds.com/2010/04/14/best-pain-relief-for-dogs-is-nature-made-sam-e/" target="_blank">Sam-E </a>, or a combination of several things, but he's doing great. We still struggle with his left rear leg (which never fully recovered after his FCE) It's hard to work on strengthening and coordination of his rear legs, without putting too much strain on his sole front leg. I just discovered a good exercise that I hope will help. We have started to work on 'dancing'. With treats I can coax him up (he balances on me) and then I take his remaining front paw and help him walk back and forth. It seems to help, without putting any extra strain on his front limb <img src="https://tripawds.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="spWPSmiley" style="max-height:1em;margin:0" /> Life is good!! Tomorrow we do hydrotherapy. He loves going, and LOVES his Therapist!! </p> </div></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div></div></div><div class='spTopicPostSection spOdd spType-Admin spRank-admin spSpecialRank-team-tripawds spSpecialRank-administrators spUserPost' id='eachPost104445'><a id='p104445'></a><div class='spUserSection spLeft' id='spColTopic13960877908' style='min-height: 50px'><div id='spPostIndexUserDate104445' class='spPostUserDate spCenter'>13 June 2013<br />7:09 am</div><div class='spPostUserAvatar spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/1035/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'><img alt='' src='https://tripawds.com/avatar/user-1035-96.png' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' /></a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserName104445' class='spPostUserName spCenter'><a href='http://tripawds.com/forums/profile/1035/' class='spLink spProfilePage' title='Profile'>Tripawds</a></div><div id='spPostIndexUserLocatin104445' class='spPostUserLocation spCenter'>On The Road</div><div id='spPostIndexUserSpecialRank104445' class='spPostUserSpecialRank spCenter'><i class="badge2-jerryspack.png spUserBadge"></i><br /><span class="spSpecialRank-team-tripawds">Team Tripawds</span><br /><i class="badge2-admin.png spUserBadge"></i><br /><span class="spSpecialRank-administrators">Administrators</span><br /></div><div id='spPostIndexUserPosts104445' class='spPostUserPosts spCenter'>Forum Posts: 35</div><div id='spPostIndexUserRegistered104445' class='spPostUserRegistered spCenter'>Member Since:<br /> 25 September 2009</div><div id='spPostIndexUserStatus104445' class='spCenter spPostUserStatus'><span class='spPostUserStatusOffline'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_UserOfflineSmall.png' alt='sp_UserOfflineSmall' /> Offline</span></div><div class='spCenter'><a id='spPostIndexUserWebsite104445' class='spPostUserWebsite' href='https://tripawds.com/' title='Visit my website' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_UserWebsite.png' alt='sp_UserWebsite' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserFacebook104445' class='spPostUserFacebook' href='https://www.facebook.com/tripawds' title='Connect with me on Facebook' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Facebook.png' alt='sp_Facebook' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserLinkedIn104445' class='spPostUserLinkedIn' href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/jcnjr/' title='My LinkedIn network' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_LinkedIn.png' alt='sp_LinkedIn' /> </a><a id='spPostIndexUserYouTube104445' class='spPostUserYouTube' href='https://www.youtube.com/tripawds' title='View my YouTube channel' target="_blank"><img class='spImg' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_YouTube.png' alt='sp_YouTube' /> </a></div></div><div class='spPostSection spRight' id='spColTopic23360600917' style='min-height: auto'><div class='spPostActionSection'><div class='spRight spGoToTop'><a class='spRight spGoToTop' href='#spForumTop'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_ArrowUp.png' alt='Go to Top' title='Go to Top' /> </a></div><span id='spPostIndexNumber104445' class='spLabelBordered spLeft'>11</span><a class='spButton spLeft' id='spPostIndexPermalink104445' title='The post permalink' rel='nofollow' href='http://tripawds.com/forums/hopping-around/depression-1/#p104445'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Permalink.png' alt='sp_Permalink' /> </a><a class='spButton spLeft spPrintThisPost' id='spPostIndexPrint104445' title='Print this post' rel='nofollow' data-postid='spPostIndexContent104445'><img class='spIcon' src='https://tripawds.com/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-themes/unified/images/sp_Print.png' alt='sp_Print' /> </a></div><div style='clear: both;height:1px'></div><div class='spPostContentSection'><div id='spPostIndexContent104445' class='spPostContent'><p>Cathie,</p> <p>This is such great news, thank you for the update.
