hi all

hi all , we have just adopted a 8 year old staffy called jimmy from a local rescue centre , we couldnt wish for a nicer old boy , he's as good as gold , he was at the home for over 3 years why we simpley cant understand as he's such a nice little chap...even though he trumps for england..lol

he has early stages of layringal paralysis so we have to keep him as calm as possible and can only take him on short walks , not that i think he minds as his hobby seems to be dosing all day!!.. has anyone else had any experience of L/P , any feed back of hints would be helpfull in controling the condition.... he does take a mild steroid every other day from the vets to help with it...

Hello and welcome to the forum from me and Billy

Hiya from me and Moo, fab on rescueing, especially a teenager (old boy, how very dare you lol!)

Sorry I can't help with any advice but welcome

Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

Sorry I have no experience of Jimmys complaint I do hope you get all the help with it you need.

Rocky is also from a rescue centre and is a wonderful companion to both my hubby and I.

Well done you on the rescue, and especially for taking on an older staff, I would love to instead of a pup, but my OH can't stand the thought of not having one for so long, personally I think it would be great to give the old lads a turn.
Sorry I don't know anything about the condition but a big massive welcome from me and Tilly

Welcome and what a sweet looking face. No experience with that from me either. Sorry about that.

thanks for the replies , also we was wondering what would be best to feed him on? currently he has dried in the morning and wet in the evening...his dried is bakers but it wont be for much longer after reading a post on here about all the rubbish they put inside it!! his wet food is either pedigree with added veg or butchers...any other ideas what would be best for him and would also ease his trumping!!lol

Hi & welcome to the forum

If you want to stick with dry (and I don't rate wet) this may be of interest

Welcome to the forum from me and my girls Kita & Izzy

Hello and welcome from me the wife and marley

Hi and welcome from Tyson & me.

Hi and Welcome, my boy was on bakers he loves it so now only has it as a treat, atm thought hes on JWB as for wet i cant say as my boy wont eat wet food but id probably feed him wainwrigts or natures harvest as thats what alot of people i know feed via wet food. as for Larygeal Paralysis, youve more or less got it covered, steroids/aAnti biotics limited exc=ercise and keeping him the right weight.. Goodluck with him and well done on rescuing an oldie. *hehe*
