| NOTE: Dr.Cindi explains in great detail about bloat, what it is, possible damage, what to do in an emergency (we ascertain that ladyR is a chronic bloater) and that I must learn how to use a tube kit and TroCar. Around this time I also learned about SIMETHICONE from a GREAT DANE REPORTER magazine article. A woman saved her show Dane by injecting Phayzme into the blown up area of the stomach. I bought Phayzme! From this point on I used it at the first sign of bloat. Previously, I would just sit with her, rub her all around until the episode passed or she threw up and it was relieved. Now I had a tool. I found that given IMMEDIATELY, the bloating would STOP within 5 minutes ! Considering that I am with her 24 / 7 it was easy to know when she was bloating. I learned that 1500mg STOPPED the bloat. | ||||||

| NOTE:
RAW RED MEAT is added because the puppy got mange for 3rd time. After many
mitaban baths and no success, an internet friend implored me to me to give the pup some
fuel to help her fight the mites with. Not fair to give meat only to pup, so ladyR got it also. Hubby was so angry, he did not speak to me (!!!), said I was making them bloodthirsty.On the 4th day of giving 3oz meat. The mange disappeared ! I kept giving it to them. 2 weeks later, ladyR ran for the first time in months! I truly SAW a difference in her OCD after giving meat, AND the higher Adequan dose. Personality: Happier, less fearful of movement, eating great and not missing any meals. |

| NOTE:
Dr. Cindi said the surgery went perfect!
She actually cried for joy because when under anesthesia, she took x-rays of shoulders and the OCD is GONE !
Said ladyR's insides look just fine. No damage from all the bloating. She did a loop procedure. That night ladyR
bloated, but the Phayzme and Gaviscon stopped it. Dr. Cindi said it was most likely from the anesthesia. Same for
cystitis. We went early for pre-surgery blood work. She went into surgery at 1, and literally walked out on her own steam at 2:45 to go home. Great surgeon who knows proper anesthetics for Danes ! I had the surgery done at this time, because Adequan finished, and I wanted to go to Europe with a measure of peace of mind. |

July |
Thunder season | Valium | ||||
| NOTE: Personality-This has been a very traumatic period for her. She lives in fear of daily thunderstorms, that started the day after I left for Italy. While I was gone, daughter had to give her Valium. When I came back I realized why. It was the WORST thunder " I " had ever experienced! We spent July - Aug, and part of Sept truly worried about her sanity & heart. It left her much more sensitive to even rain or the sky getting a bit dark - it threw her into a tizzy. We resorted to sitting with her on a rubber mat, her wearing earphones, being covered. Also making a thunder room under my desk for her. It definitely changed her personality to incredibly MORE fearful and skittish. | ||||||
