her post on Facebook also includes passport photos of the Chavises.   Might help in locating them.

thank you for the replies.  I will try the castor oil (couldn't hurt....I see it's used by humans for themselves and animals, re: Google)  I'll be happy if it helps her at all.  I also take to heart your advice not to submit her to surgery, and be thankful that she will likely be resilient and continue to age gracefully.  She's pretty healthy otherwise, so I'll just be the best companion I can for her, and we'll support each other in our 'golden years'.   Thanks again for the support.

I'm currently in Canada, but my senior dog (adopted in Mexico) has developed cataracts.  Dr Ladron gave me some vitamins to give her to slow down (and he suggested, even reverse to some degree) the development of the cataracts.   Her vet here in Canada says one eye is in bad shape, with little vision, but the other is still pretty good.  

Surgery here runs about $4000 per eye.  I wonder if anyone has had surgery performed on their dog at Lakeside, and an approximate cost.   I'm thinking of having the better eye operated on to maintain vision in that eye at least.   We will not be back Lakeside until November.  

Any advice?

pappysmarket:  if that is a Mexican gene, it has certainly mutated.  Lots of people here in Canada suffer from the same genetic predisposition!

Mirna at Ajijic rentals manages our home, and has for about 11 years.  We are very happy with her service.

Thank you for your advice concerning using CBD for my dog.   Another question:  I see that CBD from hemp is legal here, in the US and in Canada.  But does anyone know about taking a vial (by car) over the borders?

I'm intrigued by the idea of this oil in calming my anxious dog....she's always been upset by cohetes, etc, but her anxiety is increasing as her eyesight gets worse.  Does anyone have experience using this product to calm animals, and if so, do you have any advice or recommendations?

If anyone can offer me information or advice on getting an upper arm reduction done by a local plastic surgeon, or one in Guadalajara, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks everyone.  We clicked the correct area, chose to pay at the OXXO down the street, did so, and presumably our purchase will be on its way to us shortly.  Easy peasy when you know how!

but I'm not a mexican citizen and don't have such a card.  What do I do now?  Does anyone know?

The problem is that I don't understand what ID they want.  I have a Permanente, but I don't believe I have any INF (what is that?) info to give them.  

I have made purchases on my canadian credit card through mercado libre before, but today, when I went to make a purchase, they would not complete it unless I validated my phone and my documentation, which seemed to involve me sending them a picture and  INF documentation (which I do not believe I have.)  I was informed that, unless I did this, my purchase would be cancelled.  Has anyone else encountered this and how did you resolve it?

We have a quite new Maytag stove.   The burners work well.   The oven ignites and heats to (approximately) the temperature on the dial.  However, often, after about 15 minutes, there is no more flame.  We think that it turns itself off when it reaches the set temperature.  The problem is, it doesn't come back on as the oven cools.

We basically have to stand and watch the oven when something is cooking, and turn the oven back on manually when it turns itself off.  We wondered if it is a lack of oxygen to fuel the flame, and have opened up the broiling cupboard underneath to see if that helps, but it doesn't seem to.  Before we call a repairman in, does anyone have any insight as to what's going on?  

Hoping for an update on this post from March.  Or any other info on an acupuncturist Lakeside.  Thanks.

Ken - I am curious as to where you got the information that OHIP will not pay anything unless you have supplemental insurance while in Mexico.  That was not my understanding, but I could well be wrong.  

Ive been very happy with Dr. Daniel. He lives and works in Guadalajara, but comes to care for his Lakeside clients every Monday. I have seen him monthly for a couple of years.

He comes to your home.
