... Thank you, Pam! I used to bookmark so much stuff that it got out of hand and I found I rarely went back to about 98% of what I bookmarked. I wish I had...

It is with heavy heart and profound sadness that I report that I had to let Grace go on Tuesday, just shy of her 10th birthday. The burden had become too much...
So sorry to hear about Grace's passing. I know what a terribly difficult decision it is but along with the anguish is the peace knowing you did what was best. ...
Dianne I am so sorry to hear that this day has come and that Grace is at the Bridge. Both of you did a tremendous job over the past 3 years of confronting...
Dianne, I was heartbroken to hear about Grace. I suspect that 10 is very old for a dane and that she greatly outlived her original prognosis. Still, it doesn't...

Dear Dianne, I am so sorry to hear of Grace's passing. I am always amazed at the courage these puppies show towards the end. The only seem to think about our...
Hello, Dear Group, A couple of months ago I wrote that Kira, my 10-year-old Belgian Tervuren, had been diagnosed by her regular vet with unilateral LP (via ...
Hi Edrie Thanks for sharing all this good info with us. I have honestly not heard of a medication that can stop any degenerative process like a neuropathy....

Hi All, I'm new to the group. My 13 year old Belgian Tervuren, Shooter, (DOB 11/15/91) just had unilateral tie-back surgery Friday & I brought him home...
<<<<SNIP>>>> Shooter is doing much better today. He's resting comfortably & is eating pureed food with no problem. Water does continue to be coughed up. Hi...
Carol, I am glad to hear that Shooter is OK, despite the misguided advice you received to wait until it gets bad. Is this vet aware of the fact that that is...
Hi Edrie, I have to agree with Marilyn here. We took Sigleinda to a BC Specialist, scoped and told she had LP but surgery could wait until spring when it...
Dear Carol, I don't mean to preach but I agree with you whole heartedly. Don't wait until there is a crisis. I still have not recovered from Sigleinda's...
Another reason not to put off surgery, besides a possible breathing crisis that could cause death or brain damage, is that, the longer you wait, the more...
Our nearly 15-y.o black Lab, Belle, had emergency tieback last Dec 8 and is doing, we think, very, very well...we've gradually increased her exercise after the...

Clarification in response to Marilyn's answer- We did build up *very* slowly. Actually, we began building up after about 4 weeks on the advice of our surgeon....
Labs, as you probably know, are much better adapted to cold than heat. Their dense, oily fur, thick layer of fat under their skin, and short muzzle makes it...
Hi Richard I'm glad you brought this up because our situation is pretty much like yours and I have often wondered what others' experience has been. My 14yo...
Mr. Bernie (emergency tieback 12/27/03), my 14+ year springer/ golden mix, also pants excessively when walking. I've tried to slow him down but he want to...
After Otis's (died 5/13/03) tieback, panting was reduced dramatically. The only time he panted was when we took walks in the really hot weather and we'd be...
Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might be able to help me here. Sigleinda had her tieback 1-4-2005. Before the tieback she had a cast iron stomach. Now...

Belle (emergency tieback 12/8/04) also had a rather severe reflux problem about one month surgery, which is where you are if Sigleinda's tieback was on Jan 4...
