Haven has had diarrhea today and yesterday, but I can't think of anything bad she could've eaten. What could be wrong?

Any new foods? Or just more of something then normal? Stress?

Not that I can think of

Make sure she is drinking enough! If it isn't better tomorrow then she needs to be checked by a vet

She might have just gotten something or licked something when your weren't looking

I hope Haven gets better !
Could be the heat if its hot.
She could have snatched something without you knowing.
A quick vet visit never hurts

Do you have tick diseases where you are?

Anybody successfully treated their dog's patellar luxation without surgery?

I am quite sure Dorie has a luxating patella. She recently injured her back leg when she ran after a squeaky toy and she continues to injure herself when walking down the stairs and running (I'm trying to keep her from doing that). She yelps and refuses to put weight on that leg until I massage it and then it's almost like it never happened. The last few times I've massaged her leg I felt the muscle pop back into place.

I've read that exercising with sit-to-stands and walking uphill to strengthen the muscles in the back legs can help. Her food already has glucosamine in it. Anything else I can do?

I hope you can help her
Ive never had a dog with luxating patella so i dont have any info.

Sit to stands do help them gain muscle. Is she getting enough glucosamine?

Anyone on here deal with a reactive dog?
any tips for training them to be neutral again?
Maybe that the being neutral stays.
Months and months of hard work just seemed to be washed away.

Is she getting enough glucosamine?

I don't know. This is the amount in her food:

Glucosamine - Not less than 1,200 mg/kg
Chondroitin Sulfate - Not less than 1,200 mg/kg

I don't know. This is the amount in her food:

Glucosamine - Not less than 1,200 mg/kg
Chondroitin Sulfate - Not less than 1,200 mg/kg

If its 1,200 mg a cup she should be getting plenty.

Hopefully others have some experience
