problems with hind legs

[Aulyvia]

I brought ruffles to the vet today, she fine The vet didn't see any need to take x rays. The past few days she was better, maybe she fell and hurt herself slightly. I still find she walks funny, but I think it's just her fur LOL I'm used to seeing the flat hair rats walking around. I'm not used to the rex hair walk LOL

so no meds, yay I guess I freaked out for no reason. I'm just glad she's fine

Good for Ruffles! I'm glad she's ok! :dance:

As promised, here's an update from Lili: we did get an X-ray done, and since everything shows perfect, we suspect either her urinary infection is making her uncomfortable, or she's starting HED (at 18 months... :shock: ). Started her on metacam and switched from Baytril for Trim Sulfa, she seemed to be walking a little better today... I'll keep my fingers crossed!

D-mannose is great for UTI- urinary track infections-
comes in a powder that is sweet- so easy to give and doesn't change the urine PH just stops the bacteria from
staying around . I use it on myself and my dog- as do my inlaws ( themselves and dogs) - they are MDs.

1/10 human dose should be fine. no side effects because it's not a drug-

my dog was plagued w/UTIs until we found out about d-mannose-
she never had an issue again- 7yrs UTI FR she lived to 16.
if you google pets and d-mannose you'll find lots of info

1 bottle lasts a long time- few years w/pets


Physicians who employ natural therapies have been using D-mannose since the mid-1980s with great success. Laboratory studies have now confirmed what these physicians and patients have known for many years.

Consider the three following studies on rats-
