Segen Furever This page is in Loving memory of Segen A Service Dog. Owned by Aaron J Ross.

22/05/2024

Handlers can choose whatever gear they prefer, whether it’s muted, themed, bright, metallic, light up, or nothing at all. There is no set uniform required by law for service dogs, and choosing a service dog’s gear can be a fun way for handlers to “customize” and express themselves. Service dogs don’t care what color their gear is, whether their shampoo had dye in it, or if they’re wearing eye or ear protection (when properly trained).

You’d be surprised to hear that in a day I’ve personally counted the interactions we had around theme parks with and without bright gear and a big rainbow@ bow on my previous service dog’s head. On the day WITH the bright gear, we received less interactions than on the day WITHOUT the bright gear. Those interactions primarily came from ADULTS, NOT CHILDREN. These experiences directly contrast the assumptions that are often made about the “consequences” of us “dressing up” our service dogs in expressive gear, customized gear, or interesting-looking protective gear.

After careful consideration, and Consulting with my veterinarian. We agree that we should wean Segen off of purina NauroCare and go back to Nature Recipe Grain Free.

Segen could not be happier. Look at those wonderful ingredients.

We are on day 4 of Segen's Phenobarbital journey. So far it seems to be affective, but only time will tell. We have however noted some common side effects such as: lethargy, elevated appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and incoordination or balance issues.

Your continued prayers on Segen's behalf are appreciated. Thank you.

Segen and I have just returned back home from the veterinary office, little paws Dog and Cat Hospital.

Segen will be starting a trial period of a seizure medication called phenobarbital either this evening or tomorrow morning.

It is unfortunate that I have to report, segens seizure activity has increased in recent days. Prompting us to take additional measures as to hopefully decreasing the regularity of his seizure activity.

In addition to seizure meds, he will be taking herbal and calming supplements to increase the likelihood of less seizure activity. Along with a minimum of 30 mins of deep pressure pet massage 2 times daily. And applying warm calmpresses to sensitive parts of his body daily for 15 mins.

It seems that Segen's seizures are becoming more frequent. Please pray that we find a way to effectively reduce or eliminate his seizure activity. Or find an affordable specialist to have him treated by.

  It has officially been 7 days since Segen's last seizure. I am so pleased. Segen was having a seizure every 3 days. Th...

In an effort to reduce the likelihood of seizures in Segen, I am studying how to preform pet massage most effectively, and I came across this video.

Segens blood work came back perfect. The vet said we should monitor Segen closely, but for now hes great. We will put him on anti seizure meds if he has seizures more frequently or seizures worsen.

Just arrived back home from the vet. We did a little blood work, and should be getting the results back either tomorrow or the following day. We will be sure to post more about those results. At this point we are extremely hopeful that everything's going to work out for the best.

Being a strong believer in the fact that you have to honor the breed characteristics and traits in every dog, I have decided that to honor Segens. 2 of Segens strongest traits are being a protector and hard working. To honor this, one of his jobs as a pet, is to protect and alert to potential threats to myself and other members of his pack. He takes this role extremely seriously, and makes it extremely clear that German Shepherds are bred to be this way. And as a German Shepherd Handler I must honor this characteristic.

He loves to protect his best friend Willow.
