This giveaway is now closed. Thank you!
We're excited to share our interview with designer Joel Dewberry about his new book, Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces: Fresh and Modern Projects for Your Life and Home. Joel brings the fantastic design aesthetic we've come to love in his fabrics to new projects in his book. We have ten copies of the book to give you lots of chances to WIN one today. Leave your comment on today's post (tell us about your love of Joel's prints, the first project from the book you'd tackle, thoughts on Joel's collections, etc.) for your chance to win Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces: Fresh and Modern Projects for Your Life and Home. We'll announce winners on Monday (including winners for the Berry Season Fat Quarter Designer Pack— which features some of Joel's Modern Meadow collection– too).
Sew,Mama,Sew!: Congratulations on the publication of your new book, Joel Dewberry's Sewn Spaces: Fresh and Modern Projects for Your Life and Home! We loved seeing your beautiful fabric collections in action, in projects throughout the book. Do you have a personal favorite project from the book?
Joel Dewberry: My favorite project from my book would have to be the bird sachet project. For one of the smaller projects included, it sure demanded a lot of our time and attention, as we refined the shape through trial and error and added details like the embroidered wings and beaded eyes. Perhaps all the time I spent on it contributed to my fondness for these charming little friends that have worked out brilliantly as pin cushions, pattern weights, decorative embellishments, gifts, ornaments, and aromatic sachets. The ease of their creation also makes them appealing for a quick and satisfying project that can be completed in an evening.
SMS: Are any of the projects ones you give as gifts yourself or have in your own home?
Joel: Absolutely! Selfishly, we multipurposed our efforts to ensure we included projects that we loved enough to share as gifts, to include as decorative elements in our home, and to incorporate as elements in our efforts to host a dinner party or family event. Honestly, every project has been adopted into the Dewberry home and now plays its part while bringing us a little extra satisfaction knowing we had a hand in its creation and it is one of a kind. It is particularly rewarding to see
my wife Laurie retrieve her yoga bag from the closet prior to her morning yoga session or to watch my daughters fuss over one of the many teddy bears that are a result of our refining process. There is always a new function for the pocket on the bear's tummy; an iPod holder, piggy bank, treasure keeper, baby bear pouch, and snack tray to name a few.
SMS: We loved the Teddy Bear project, naturally, and Apron and Bird Sachet are on our "must-make" list too. Where did your design inspiration come from for the projects in the book?
Joel: My design inspiration was driven by the idea of adding a little personal flare to various aspects of our lives. It has been our philosophy, Laurie and I, to enrich life with a personal touch whenever possible. Sometimes the speed of life demands we be efficient and settle for the mundane, but whenever possible we make the attempt to create things ourselves. We enjoy improving on the good that is out there and letting others know how much we care by "custom creating" especially for them.
SMS: Many of the projects take advantage of the wonderful graphic silhouettes we appreciate in your fabrics. Projects like the Pocket Memo Board with the appliqué designs and the Glass-Etched Fabric Art so beautifully utilize the templates (provided in the book). Do you always try to integrate strong graphic elements in your work?
Joel: I wouldn't say I purposely try to integrate strong graphic silhouettes, I just kind of end up there. I have to admit I am very fond of the simplicity and purity expressed in a beautifully contrasting silhouette. I believe it often reveals a detail that may otherwise be overlooked in a flower, a bird, or other design. In the book, I had many opportunities to implement this technique. One of my most memorable projects for this was the glass etched fabric art. I loved the effect achieved by glass etching the simple silhouetted forms. It was amazing how, even without color, such a stunning look could be achieved. The subtle manipulation of the glass surface with a distinctive silhouette created a sense of depth and beauty I was delighted with. I guess you could say strong graphic elements are a part of my design palette that help me to achieve my signature style, Eclectic Modern.
SMS: What's next for you?
Joel: It's always hard to say what is around the corner. In addition to new fabric collections on the horizon, Laurie and I are working feverishly on releasing our first sewing patterns. We are just a couple of weeks away from having the printed, tested, ready to ship patterns in our hands. We had no idea of the undertaking we were getting into, but we are ecstatic with the result.
SMS: Can you tell us about upcoming fabric collections?
Joel: Sorry, I must refrain. For the time being, I prefer to keep it a secret except to say that it is my goal to stun the industry with a beautiful new collection, booth, and other extraordinary product range at spring market 2011 in Salt Lake City. We are preparing diligently now and I hope to see you there!
In the interim, I will be releasing some exciting new color palettes of some my most popular designs including the Aviary Sparrow design, the Aviary Woodgrain design, and my signature damask to name a few. We expect these new designs to be available later this Fall.
Thanks so much, Joel! Remember readers, comment for your chance to win one of ten copies of Joel's new book!

I just bought a piece of Joel's Deer Valley-Columbine fabric today with plans to sew a wallet for a friend. We recently went hiking in Colorado together and she saw Columbines for the first time. This little wallet will be a reminder of our getaway. The thing I love most about Joel's fabrics is that they all remind me of someone special. When I see them, I almost always have someone in mind who'd love them. They have personality and warmth and they compel me to share. I'd love to have the chance to share even more projects from his book.
Oh my! I am so excited for this book!

I have a new apartment so I'd go for the graphic print under glass or the memo board with pockets would be great in my new craft room!
being new to quilting, I am slowly getting to know the designers I like and Joel Dewberry fabrics seem to catch my eye quite a lot as I graze through the fat quarter piles in my local patchwork shop. Would love to learn more about him and some of his ideas for use with his fabrics.

I am such a fan of Dewberry (the woodgrain fabric is my favourite) and I turn to his fabrics again and again. I'd love to see his aesthetic laid out in the new book!

Thanks for the chance to win this book! I would first make teddy bears for my children and then I would like to try to patchwork duvet cover.
Beautiful! This book is a work of art as much as it is a sewing book…
The first fabric I ever saw of Joel Dewberry's was the one with the deer on it, and I wasn't positive I liked it at first, although I was completely entranced by how he could make such a masculine print so beautiful. Since then I've fallen in love with all of his fabric and would love the see what type of projects he's got!
The bird pincushion is very cute. I would love to win this book!
Looks like a great book!
I have been wanting this book!! What a fabulous giveaway!! I would love to make the birds. I have been wanting to make a bird for some time.

I was just saying today that I need an inspiration board above my sewing area! What a beautiful one shown in the photo!
Wow! I love Joel's fabric and am looking forward to enjoying this book. I love anything that honors birds and would probably pick a project that would feature birds.
What beautiful patterns! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
HUGE Joel D fan. Would love this book of eye candy and inspiration!!

Great interview and sounds like a great book!
Since I've just about used up my stash of Joel Dewberry fabrics, I think this new book full of awesome projects is the perfect excuse to buy more! I am really excited about the new Aviary colors!
I would love to win this!
I love all of his fabrics and the book looks like it has some great projects…I'd be thrilled to win!
I'm pretty excited about the organization board – with a little fiddling it could double as the perfect hanging jewelry organizer~ my daily wears are on a heap on my dresser.
My first Joel Dewberry fabric love was the orange Woodgrain. I love the natural motif still brings modern design and color into my living room pillows. The organizer board looks like an interesting project and one I am in need of!
It sounds like a wonderful book. I love his fabrics, especially the Aviary collection.
Would so love the book, the wee bird would have to be on top of the lists to make next! The fabrics are just devine!
Duvet Cover – such joy to sleep with and far faster then the quilt I always mean to get started on….Thanks for making it fun and fast — so many choices….heck so many beds to cover in this house!
The teddy bear looks great. I'd love to make a couple for my nephews. And I'm obsessed with the notion of redoing my bathroom with a bird theme. The bird satchet would be a perfect part of that.
That bear is something that my girls would love! Looks like another great crafting book to add to my wishlist.
some of my favorite fabrics ever are Dewberry
I will watch for the new line of fabric too.
What a wonderful book! That chair is particularly lovely and is spawning all kinds of ideas 🙂

Love the bulletin board project. Have yet to see the rest of the projects in the book to tell if it would truly be my "first" project. As for her fabric . . . so vibrant and modern!
I can't decide if I would first tackle the office chair cushions (as I have some chairs that have been needing cushions in my office for the longest time) or the vintage chair cover (because I have some vintage chairs in the shed that have been waiting to be recovered for even longer).
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I saw this book advertised in Stitched Magazine and have been drooling over it ever since! These projects will make perfect gifts!

It's unfortunate that Robert Griffin III has to be involved in any kind of controversy this last week, especially when it's not because anything he said or did.
It's easier to imagine Griffin, the product of a military family, helping the elderly across the street than popping up shirtless in clubbing photos, a la Rob Gronkowski. By almost all accounts, he's a focused, smart, happy-go-lucky guy.
But controversy-proof? Apparently not.
That's because of a television commentator's remarks on ESPN's First Take, when millions cringed as Rob Parker wondered aloud whether Griffin was a "brother" or a "cornball brother."
You don't need a minor in political correctness to know how off-base that line of thought was. Parker later apologized for his comments, likely after long reflection on the meaning of the word "restraint."
But the issue is beyond Parker, ESPN or even really Griffin. And given the way we think about race in sports, controversies like this one are liable to keep coming up.
The comments came in response to about as neutral a statement as one could muster: Griffin had said he didn't want to be "defined" by being a black quarterback. Which makes a ton of sense.
It's not like Peyton Manning wants to be called "the best white quarterback in NFL history" when he retires. In your career, do you want to be known as the best Latino banker, or the best Asian journalist?
That's not the label any of us want slapped on what we do. But in sports, it's somehow hard for us to see these athletes without immediately categorizing.
It's something hard to stop, how we like to make a novelty out of our athletes. It's why a guy like Jeremy Lin, as much as his fame has done for him, has to live with being cast as the best Asian basketball player, while he's probably much more focused on being the best American point guard.
It's a tough thing to explain, because while no one wants to be slapped with a label, race is very much a part of who you are.
It's your background, your experience, your family, your values or at least it usually plays a big role in shaping those things.
In some sense, it's realistic to acknowledge that athletes such as Griffin and Lin take pride in their race. If you really want to call it trailblazing even though black quarterbacks and Asian basketball players have been around for years they probably take a dose of pride in setting that example.
The issue is one of sensitivity. No one can be faulted for identifying Griffin as an athlete of color. But when race starts to dominate that discussion and when people question the authenticity of that identity is maybe when we all need to take a step back.

Rubber Ducky First Birthday
Still learning about cakes & all things making. This was my 3rd requested cake, for a little girls first birthday (the same one who the shower cake was for before) to be themed rubber ducky. The frosting is all butter cream, with the top tier removable, it became the girls own birthday cake. The ducks were actually finger puppets the kids kept. The cupcakes were made to match last minute the night before when I was told there would be additional children (10-12) at the party!

When this father discovered his daughter's bratty rant about him on Facebook, he decided to make a rant of his own. The only difference is his (which he thankfully decided to videotape) ended with him shooting a round of hollow-point bullets into his entitled kid's laptop to ensure that she doesn't do it again.

UFC Undisputed 3 career mode...
For me this is the biggest improvement on the game it is awesome, how is everyone rating it?
One thing I have noticed though is that Aldo and Cruz don't seem to lose... They are 29-1 and 25-1 respectively on my game! Crazy!
Altogether, I've seen a huge improvement. I've onnly noticed one flaw. In career mode you still have to either choose attributes or "go-to" moves, which is impossible to balance if you want to rise in the rankings at a young age. Other than that, I was hoping the striking speed would be more life-like but its still great.
I have Renan Barao 30 years old, 41-0, all by way of KO or TKO i'm 92 overall. I played on advanced but i feel my record and overall dominance (I KOed men such as BJ Penn, Aldo, Benson Henderson etc. with a freaking BW) shows that I need to restart career mode on the next difficulty up. A lot of fun, I might do Palhares next and heel hook everybody :D
Cool to hear you can play career mode with real fighters too. What can you do in career mode if you play with a random top10 fighter? Same like in 2010, basically fight and train?
There's a bit where it says "Fight Hype" on the screen after the fight when you win/lose. How can you actually hype the fight? I'm in my last year and haven't found any options to hype a fight.
I like how you don't have to train as much. You can only pick two things between fights, only one if you take the higher payout short notice fights. The only thing that takes a lot of time is dealing with those sponsors. I like making caf's of UFC fighters they left out of the game, and then not trying to get the most high ratings I can, just shoot for what I think those fighters rate for real. Takes the pressure off when you can stop at 79 or 82.
I like how in my wee universe Stefan Struve is the undisputed p4p King. Held the HW belt through my entire career. Love the wee off-career fights that go on haha
it's pretty good, but offline is VERY sketchy. I got d/c in my first 2 fights then lost 4 straight purely down to it being impossible to transition while lagging and getting punched. My other loss was to a dude who was Bones and spinning backfist spammed, like with his reach it covers the whole cage. Not fighting anyone who uses Bones again.
I've also noticed how it is pretty hard to finish people online despite them being rocked. Maybe it's just my garbage connection though.
On my career Brock Lesnar is 6-13... Embarrassing!
I enjoyed it I hardly ever trained just did auto all the time and got my guy up to level 86 with 100% on standing strikes and kicks. I also like how you can jump weight classes and go to pride. The only thing I didnt like is how it ended so abruptly without warning. I was 29 so I thought I had plenty of time left to upgrade my characters other skills and maybe win a LW title and the next thing I know Joe was talking about mr retiring during my fight and now I got a guy who can't pull of a submission unless the other guy is rocked.

In the wake of the deadly Isis terrorist attacks on Paris which killed 129 people and wounded hundreds more, the issue of whether or not to continue taking in refugees has divided us here in the United States of America, home of the free, land of the brave.
On Fox News, Senator and Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz said, "President Obama and Hillary Clinton's idea that we should bring tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees to America—it is nothing less than lunacy. On the other hand Christians who are being targeted for genocide, for persecution, Christians who are being beheaded or crucified, we should be providing safe haven to them. But President Obama refuses to do that."
Bravo to Senator Cruz for taking such a brave and unpopular stance on such a volatile issue! Read the full story

Hey, KristKustoms
I want to do some custom panels in my truck interior ...
Re: Chipboard -- where do I buy this stuff? And do you ever use it to make panels? Or is it just for making templates?
Re: Panelboard -- could I just buy 1/8" plywood at Home Depot for panelboard ... is that the same stuff you use? Or do I buy something else?
Thanks, bro'.
Alan Horvath
54 Chevy Pickup
Chipboard - I dont even keep the stuff around the shop for templates anymore, so I wouldnt even recommend using it for panels. Cardboard works the best for pattern making (for me anyway, plus its free). I get at least a package a day from UPS or FedEx, so I usually have an abundance of boxes around. It stays fairly stiff for pattern making, and it can be cut easily with shears.
About my panel making...
There are a few different kinds of panelboard, each supplier will have their own. Number one, stay away from chipboard like I said, and stay away from some stuff called "cowlboard," this stuff will warp on a humid day. Then there are two kinds of good panelboard, or what some suppliers call "door panel board." There is tan and there is the stuff that 90% of upholsters use which is black. Miami Corp. out of Cincy Ohio sells the tan stuff which is water proof, it will not warp. The black will warp, but it will take a while for it to warp. Then there is Maxxion Moldable Plastic Panelboard, which comes in 1/8" or 1/4", but its pretty expensive (about $50-$75 for a 4x8 sheet). The Maxxion stuff can be molded and curved with heat, its too expensive to use for flat panels.
You could use 1/8" LuAnn Plywood, or masonite, but Im not a fan of masonite (seems brittle). I keep alot of 1/8" LuAnn plywood at the shop (bought from Lowe's or Home Depot), but MAKE SURE it is treated for outdoor use, or once again, it will warp. Its under 10 bucks for a 4x8 sheet. I use the LuAnn for my headliners and some other big panels (trunk sides and stuff like that). I prefer to use the tan panelboard for my door panels, you can cut the stuff with a utility knife, so you can cut perfectly straight lines with the knife and a straight edge or yard stick. With the LuAnn plywood, it has to be cut with a JigSaw, and Im pretty efficient with a JigSaw, but I cant cut a perfectly straight line. I double up the tan panelboard for my door panels to make them stiffer. And of course you need 1/4" closed cell foam for any designs and to add a bit of padding.
Let me know if you have any more questions......
You ARE the man, bro'!
That's great info and I sure do appreciate it. Now that my rewiring is done, and I've got the new shifter, hand brake, gauges and AC/Heat done, I'm starting to develop ideas for my interior. Sounds like the "tan stuff" is what I'm gonna want to be working with, for the most part. Can I buy some from you? Or can you direct me where to look locally or on the web?
It'll probably be a few weeks before I start digging in, but I'm definitely starting to head in that direction. I'm way more suited to doing interiors than I am to mechanical stuff, or wiring for that matter ... I know nothing at this point, but I promise you'll grin BIG time when you see my work.
PS - When do you do carpeting? Is it the LAST thing you do?
The tan waterproof panelboard I buy from Miami Corp. Miami doesnt sell to the public, you need a business tax ID number to buy from them. The way that they talk about the tan panelboard, it is one of their exclusive products. If you cant find it elsewhere, I could sell it to you.
I usually do the headliner first, then the carpet would come next. Youll want to have the carpet/insulation/padding in the car or truck before you start building your panels for two reasons. It will add thickness to the floor, and youll want to build the panels accordingly, and youll want the carpet to pass underneath the panels. The door panels, I always do last. Even though they are the funnest part of an interior to do, if you do them last there is less of a risk of scuffing them up taking tools in and out of the car/truck.
I have a Tax ID number, so I guess I can buy from Miami Corp. -- do they have a minimum order amount or anything like that? How do I contact them?
Thanks for the instruction on installing-order.
Is the tax ID number for an upholstery related business? Miami was pretty damn picky when I first signed up with them. There was no initial buy in, but on the application, I had to give them like 3 industry related businesses that I deal with. When I first started my business, I couldnt get an account with them for some of these reasons. They recently changed names (Used to be Miami Rubber), so maybe they re-structured.
Give them a call, there phone number is at their site
No ... it's my recording studio ... I'm incorporated under Smokey Mirror Studios, Inc.
Sounds like that ain't gonna work - they'd know I don't know my stuff in an instant, man.
I'll contact you when I want some and we'll work something out.
Thanks again.
headliner panelboard
Hey, KristKustoms...you sound like the best to answer my question in this same area...
I'm in the process of constructing various interior panels on my Studebaker pickup, and am planning to use the black panelboard commonly used. What is the appropiate way to seam the various sections of the component where curvatures require a seam rather than just bending? Case in point...the headliner will have the main section, a small nearly vertical section above each door, and the section that rolls around the rear corners and covers the back around the rear glass. It looks like most of these can go into place as one component, but need to be fabricated in 4 pieces. Whats the best way to join them?
Attached is a pic of the beginnings of the templates...you may see what I'm talking about...
Any info is appreciated-
Hmm, thats not the way i would construct the headliner, but i wouldnt try and join the pieces together, you would basically be creating a sort of dome with squared off edges, if that makes sense. This would make it hard to cover. I would try and make one main headliner board over head, two door frame panels like you have above the doors, and one (maybe two) back wrap around pieces (split at back window if need be.
Start with the main head liner board, cover and put it in the truck. Then have the other three or four pieces overlap the main head board a little. This way, every piece you are covering is a 2D shape, unlike the 3d "dome" you were trying to create. 2D shapes are very easy to cover, while 3D shapes require alot of stretching and some materials wont stretch that much.
Like i said this isnt the way i do my headliners (mine involve minor sewing) so this is the first idea that popped into my head.
Yea, that makes sense. If the panelboard doesn't have the physical ability to conform to that shape in one piece, the covering material isn't going to want to either. That, however, means having a firm attachment point at the joined areas, something to attach the edges of each panel to...right? That will add a bit more prep work, but may be necessary.
Thanks for the advice!
The Maxxion Moldable Plastic Panelboard that Miami Corp. sales is called Komatex. It's a expanded PVC that's for indoor/outdoor applications. It has an exceptional durability and can be shaped by heat, saw, router, knife or die. It comes in 1mm to 19mm thickness. 3mm being 1/8" thick. I live in Alabama so I found a supplier in Birmingham ( Grimco ) who sales wholesale sing supplies. I drove up there and picked up three 4X8 sheets for $58.00 they where on sale for $18.50. They are $22.00 each any other time there. I use it on panels that need to hold there shape.
I use 1/8" LuAnn Plywood the most. I just got 13 sheets for right around $100.00
Yeah, since i first wrote that message a year and a half ago, i found out Miami was just reselling PVC plastic sheets. Ive been getting them from a local plastic supplier for over a year now at the same price Shannon is getting.
Thanks, guys. I'll do a search for a supplier that sells that product over the net, and see what more info I can get. I may even be able to get it from Interstates Plastics, my polypro supplier in Boise.
I don't know why, but I'm still having troubles with the basic stuff here...I believe that, in one material or another, I can construct the panels that will fit where I need them, but my i-net searches still haven't turned up the type of material that looks right for use on covering panels such as these. Seems to me that I have seen a material, it sticks in my mind that it was foam-backed, that is designed to have an unusual amount of stretch in both axis for conforming to complex contours such as what these might end up like. KK's advice to cover the panels individually makes sense, but there still will be a good deal of out-of-plane covering, and I want to find the best material to do that, and, hopefully, be able to do the covers with adhesives rather than having to sew it at all.
My searches have turned up several suppliers of seat upholstery and carpeting, but not a lot specifically for the headliners, door panels, etc. I agree with KK that one needs consistency throughout, not a hodgepodge of different colors, textures, etc., but the requirements of the panels, the seat covers, and the floor covering are all different, and I'm missing the concept of how those all get "tied together" without using different materials. Sorry guys, I'm not usually this dense, but for some reason I'm missing something here.
I'll do some searching for the Komatex, and anxiously await a response from two excellent resources here...you both do some beautiful work.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
So sorry for only writing back now and thank you very much for all the replies. He is much better now and currently is also off all meds He took to the senior orijen very well and I definitely see an improvement in him. He is a very picky eater but enjoys this food. I am now researching the raw feeding as this is something I really would like to try especially after reading all the positive messages.
I spoke to my vet about all the mentioned meds but for now he is good lets hope it stays that way. He is active and enjoying life. Sometimes I need to keep him a little calm because I know if he runs around the whole day he will be stiff and sore the next. He really is a young dog at heart stuck in an old body I wish he would enjoy swimming as that I am sure would help allot but he prefers to just float around on the pool step where he can still feel something under his feet.
|Due to my schedule the last 4-5 months, I was unable to get my dog out too much, we brought an equine masseuse in weekly, massage and stretching. It seems to have helped.
In my experience, we gave my senior nearly two years of great mobility and diminished pain using Adequan therapy, plus GOOD supplements (Natural Eggshell Membrane, Collage Type II, Ester-C, Fish Oil, Vitamin E (mixed tocopherol)). This combination was so effective that he got off Rimadyl almost entirely and was MORE mobile (and in less pain) than when he was on Rimadyl -- but it took about a month to be able to fade the Rimadyl away.
My experience is here: http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...ur-senior.html
There's a thread about Natural Eggshell Membrane here:
I want to emphasize that Adequan is a "game changer" for many dogs with arthritis. The loading dose is expensive, but it's powerfully good stuff--it heals the arthritis instead of masking pain.
Since acupuncture worked for your dog in the past, I would definitely go back to doing that for the pain too -- it can be awesome for arthritis!
I have a ShepX who has a degenerative back disease. We've managed 5 years, he is 10 now, although the last year has been more difficult. It's a balancing act, it's diet, supplements, eastern medicine, western medicine, but all in balance and moderation. When a natural path fails, then it's medication time.
I opt to go a more natural path - he gets a pain killer if he's limping, do not kid yourself, I do not inflict my personal opinions on the welfare of my dog to the detriment of that dog.
However, where we live, swimming is limited in a controlled setting, we put an above ground in, he gets his joint supplements, limited exercise, a diet, I have researched and am comfortable giving him along with supplements in the same manner. When he needs it, he gets a pain pill. It's a precarious balance. I live in the land of lakes, but, those lakes often due to high water tables contain too much bacteria - so a pool, controls the water, we're on year 5 of me swimming him in a therapeutic environment, I can, now do it alone.
Fo a long time, therapeutic swimming, acupuncture and chiropractic treatment along with a 60% RAW diet were maintaining things, now, we're a bit further from those luxuries, so what someone else did, I have to learn to do or work around, visits to a chiro or acupuncturist, due to distance are less. However, a larger property means more injury or irritation. It's a balancing act, invest yourself in every aspect of care and prevention and behaviour modification. Use medication when necessary, but it's really about improving a quality of life and getting it to a manageable plateau.
I use Duralactin, a joint supplement and natural anti-inflammatory, to keep my old dogs and any that have had joint surgeries comfortable. I use this long-term to prevent the inflammation and to prevent pain or minimize the pain. It is available in forms for horses and dogs.
For years, I have used Tramadol when my dogs have had surgeries. It just became a controlled substance here and I will be asking my vet for other options.
|You have my sympathy; it is so difficult and ten isn't really old for a small dog. My Heidi is on Rimadyl, but you say you have already used that, so I don't have any other suggestions. Diazepam is the generic name for Valium, so it should keep him calmed down a bit, but may contributes to the drunken walk.
|I know how you feel. No matter how llng you have them or how old they are, its just never enough time. Have you tried glucosamine? Adequan shots have really helped my senior recover some mobilty with out taking pain meds.
|I used accupucture for my old cat that really worked with lessening the pain of mobility. Laser treatment also worked for my GSD mix towards the end.
When rimadyl stopped working on my senior she gave him metacam. It seemed to make a world of difference.
