Percy had ALL 5 of these signs and we still had no idea it was IVDD. We thought he had just tweaked his back. He was still walking normally, so we treated him with anti-inflammatories and otherwise kept it moving. What I wish I knew then that Stage 1 IVDD looks just like this, long before you see the scary symptoms like wobbling, dragging their legs or losing the ability to walk. And they can often recover from it without surgery if the right steps are taken. If your dog suddenly starts showing signs of back or neck pain, especially if they’re a breed prone to IVDD, please don’t automatically assume it’s a simple muscle strain. Get them checked out by a vet if you can, and most importantly start restricting their activity IMMEDIATELY. No jumping, running or playing until you know what you’re dealing with. Looking back, I really wish we had treated Percy’s first signs of pain like a possible disc issue and put him on strict crate rest instead of assuming meds would take care of it. Would it have stopped what eventually happened? We’ll never know. But knowing what I know now, I would have done things very differently. ❤️🩹 #IVDD #Dachshund #DogHealth #petparents #ivddsurvivor

‼️Please tag every pet parent you can because you never know if they’re feeding this (or know someone that is)👇 Be sure to *Follow* as I’ll be monitoring these to keep you updated on the Purina recall, since this is a developing situation unfortunately 😔 Sadly, this isn’t the first time we’ve talked about elevated Vitamin D levels - which is concerning bc Vit D can lead to kidney disease & lethargy In 2018, there were over 8 recalls for toxic levels of Vitamin D 😔 Remember, this is why we prefer (when possible) to feed foods free of vitamin synthetic packs (look at the last several ingredients, are they a string of numbers and long words? Those are likely synthetic vitamin packs) Are all synthetics inherently evil? Of course not! But all it takes is one manufacturer of ONE of those synthetics to make an error to cause a toxic amount of a vitamin, like vitamin D. It’s why I prefer foods made with only, or mostly, whole food sources. BUT👇 The problem with that? It’s much harder and more $$ so I understand & respect the need for synthetic packs, which👇 THIS IS WHY ANY FOOD I SHARE is after I’ve spoken DIRECTLY with the owner, founder, formulator, nutritionist or key decision maker first to learn &’understand their manufacturing & sourcing practices This gives my a peace of mind & the transparency is 🔑 Follow along to stay updated on all future recalls 🙏 #dogfoodrecall #purina #purinarecall #purinaproplan #petfood #kibble #dogfoodreview #dogfood ##dogmom##dognews #petparents

When a dog licks their lips while sleeping 🐶💤 Ever noticed your pup licking their lips in their sleep? 😅 When a dog licks their lips while sleeping, it’s usually harmless and can mean: 🐾 They’re dreaming 🐾 Relaxed sleep movements 🐾 Remembering smells or tastes from the day 🐾 Minor mouth dryness Dogs experience sleep cycles just like humans — complete with little twitches, kicks, and funny behaviors. Sometimes their dreams are just as active as their tails. 🐾💛 #WhenADogLicksTheirLipsWhileSleeping #DogBehavior #DogFacts #DogLove #PetParents
