How AI Diagnosed Luna When Her Vets Couldn't
We spent months looking for answers. It was ChatGPT — not a veterinarian — that finally pointed us toward what was wrong. Here's what we learned about using AI as a health tracking tool for your dog.
When nothing makes sense
My Dog Is Limping and the Vet Found Nothing
Luna limped for months. X-rays showed nothing. The vet missed it. This is our timeline — and what you should ask for if you're in the same situation.

Vets don't always suggest it, and it's expensive. But in Luna's case, an earlier MRI might have changed everything. Here's what to know and how to advocate for it.
In memory of Luna
This clownish little dog stole our hearts.
Luna was a 75% American Staffordshire Terrier with an inexplicable fondness for hanging upside down off furniture. She was also the dog who taught us more about veterinary medicine than any textbook — the hard way.
She was somewhere between 13 and 16 years old when we lost her to a spinal cord tumor that three vets missed. This site is for her — and for every dog like her.
