I'm on a disability but I'm hoping I can go back to work. I'm taking supplements that seem to help with the pain.  That's why I'm not looking forward to a nice big vet bill :(

I'm taking milk thistle and circuman (how do you spell that?) I need to get dandelion powder now seperately now since my latest purchase didn't have it in it. My spasms and twinges aren't as bad now too so I'm really hoping I'll be able to do "something" soon.

If I was in Van, I would accompany you to a traditional Chinese doctor. They have cures for everything. ac_cool

Does she do it knowingly or is it truly something she can't help. Sometimes as animals age they can develop seizure issues and lose bladder control through no fault of their own. When I was a child, we had a dog that when she got old she would have mild seizures or TIA's and would sometimes lose control of her bladder or bowels. There are medications for that but depending on the age, condition of animal and how well it can tolerate the meds, their effectiveness can vary.



I wish you lots of luck with this issue. I know how heartbreaking it is to have to go through stuff like this with an older pet.

How much do the meds cost? Attachment to an aging pet is fine, but that doesn't mean people  should go into debt.

I haven't had to buy any anti-seizure meds for an animal in many years so I don't know what the costs are currently. But sometimes it's just a matter of giving the animal a low dose of phenobarbital which generally costs pennies per day.

Not knowing anything about it, would that help Annie's pet?

I didn't know what it is, so I googled it and found this,



Phenobarbital remains the first-choice anticonvulsant in cats. Numerous studies and abundant clinical experience have proven this drug to be effective in cats, and it is generally considered safe, however, cats may occasionally experience adverse effects such as sedation, excessive thirst and urination, and incoordination.
