<<<SNIP>>> Free (Chesapeake Bay Retriever, 11.5 years) is hypothyroid. We are now on medication. Do you think this condition may have caused his LP? My Vet...
"... I contribute it to acid reflux and give a 20 mg Pepsid. Most of the time it helps but there have been a few occasions it hasn't helped at all. Which makes...
Abnormal thyroid function is one cause of LP and has been known to be so. However, by the time the LP becomes evident, it apparently is so far gone that...
Hi my name is Dawn and my dog's name is Chester. He was diagnosed with LP in early August of this year after developing raspy breathing. He was placed on...
Well, we are happy to report that Champ had his stitches taken out last Friday. Three weeks have passed since the surgery and Champ is doing wonderfully well! ...
