Thank you!! She is a sweetie 🙂

I have been looking into firmer beds and will definitely purchase one... I remember reading that somewhere on one of the forums and it does seem like she has a tough time with the bed when she gets up. The carpet runners have been great too, and I'm so glad I went on here and found that out before she came home.

I was planning on mentioning rehab when we go to the vet to get her staples out next week... should I try and get an appointment set up sooner?

The hardest part as of late is when we make dinner. She always comes right into the kitchen and sits there and begs. I have to be vigilant with my family not to give her any table food. I really want to make it easier on her to get around and have her lose some weight, but my family thinks I'm being cruel! Instead of table scraps, during dinner I give her some carrots or apples as a snack so she doesn't feel so denied from us all.

I just hope I'm doing the right things!!!

Wow, thank you all for the suggestions!!!

Ok, I bought a bed! I got the Ruffwear Urban Sprawl Bed from on here. I also called a rehabilitation center and was able to speak to someone. They said typically they wait until we speak to the oncologist, but if we won’t be able to do that for a few weeks I should call back for the appointment. It sounds like it will be awesome! They said they have the underwater treadmill and heated pool, and like Brownie, Lady loves water. They would have been a cute couple, LOL! The only thing with Covid is we can’t go in the building with her, so it’s going to be hard that first time, but I think once she gets in there and sees she’ll be in the water she will love it. I’ve been reading the “starve the cancer, feed the dog” diet and as much as I can about nutrition. I want to talk to her vet about it as well. The dehydrated liver sounds awesome! I am going to try that ASAP. 

I wonder if I posted the video wrong this time?? I will post more videos of Lady moving around. She is definitely getting stronger by the day. She did the stairs on her own yesterday. She’s such a proud dog; I fear soon we won’t be able to lift or carry her at all without her squirming like she used to. 

Hi! What a cute story about Brownie! Thank you all for the show of love for Lady. She is a very lived dog and also a very Stubrand one, haha. 

These past two days have been a little ruff for my girl. She’s whining a lot but when we try to get her to go outside, she doesn’t want to go at all. We were able to get her out twice yesterday but we did use a tiny treat to entice her the second time. Today it’s now 2 pm (last time she went out was 7pm yesterday) and she’s doing a lot of whining but will not get up. 

I’m a little worried about her back legs. Could she be in pain? She’s still on all the medications so nothing has changed outside of her just not seeming to want to go out anymore. I will mention on Friday she hopped up the platforms by herself. We built them over the stairs for her to get inside to make it easier on her instead of going down a set of steep stairs. It was the first time she wasn’t carried or assisted. Could she have over extended herself? I’m a little worried 🙁 

Hi, she pooped last night at the same time. I watched the video and am prepared to express her bladder but I am trying to give her the opportunity to go on her own. When I try and lift her butt to stand she just sprawls like saying NOPE. 

I have left a message with the vet. Still waiting to hear back from them about having her oncology appointment the same day she goes in to get the staples removed so she isn’t going there too much. 

And yeah, she used to whine if we ever left her alone. We always thought she had separation anxiety, so it could be that when we leave the room she’s feeling that even more so now? I’m not sure. Other than the whining and not getting up, everything seems fine. She ate this morning and drank some water...
