    @seekermig Ah yes, someone else had suggested this. I will have to borrow a crate from someone and see how he reacts. There’s a good chance he will want nothing to do with it, and think he’s being punished or something. He has free roam of my condo and is so well behaved I rarely ever have to...

    @rickymargan I’m still waiting to find out what breeds are in his DNA, I appreciate the advice and plan on doing things like lowering my bed, he’s only approximately 3 and has not shown any signs, and my bed is his safe place so I don’t see any way around teaching him to use steps to get to the...

    @jmacdona2 I’m happy to hear your boy is doing well. That is a great idea and I absolutely plan on getting pet insurance. I would empty my bank for him without a second thought, but having pet insurance and preparation just incase will help me sleep better at night. Thank you

    @sweetsunday Any advice is appreciated. I’m sorry to hear that. So you are able to clearly tell that something is wrong with him when it flares up? Is he almost able to not walk ? How often does it flare up?

    @essell I can’t express enough gratitude for your response. It’s hard trying to narrow it down googling it, bc I had no idea what I was googling. Thank you so much for breaking it down like that.

    I received this email from Embark in regards to my dog Theo, who is approximately 3 years old 50 lbs (he is a rescue so I do not know what kind of dog he is, yet, hence the DNA test) It is scaring me because I don’t exactly know what to do.
