Hi all. I have posted in the past regarding what I believe to be LP in my male greyhound although some thought what I described may not have been LP but...
Kelly, You want the scoping done by a board-certified surgeon who has done lots of tiebacks (and scopings). When my LP/tieback dog Otis (died 5/13/03) was...
Thank to everybody for all the advice. We have an appointment for Rowdy for this Thurs 3/3 for a consultation with the surgeon. He is board cert (on the LP...
If your vet cannot do the scope you are better off finding an experienced surgeon in your area and making arrangements for the scoping and surgery. All of this...
Susan, I was a total wreck before and after Otis's (died 5/13/03) tieback. But I was not a wreck the three years he got as a result of the surgery. When he...
... Hi Kelly, You really should have a board-certified surgeon determine if what you are hearing is LP, but if I were you, I'd have my local vet look anyway ...
... It's still pretty hard to come home from work to find the house empty except for a cocatiel that I got Kelly to keep her company. I go out looking at my...
<<<SNIP>>>It's still pretty hard to come home from work to find the house empty. Hi Dale I am so sorry to hear about Kelly and I know only too well what you...
<<<SNIP>>>I have to tell you, though, I am a wreck right now, and feeling so inadequate regarding the post- op care. Hi Susan I am sure you will cope very well...
There's no denying that the first few weeks after surgery are the worst. All your worries are justified, too, because that's when complications are most...
Hi everyone, I was hoping that maybe someone can give me some advice on what to do already. Sigleinda requires constant care which has only increased since...

Hi Betty Sorry I am coming in late on your situation. If she is not getting better you have 2 options. If it is early enough in the day--call the surgeon and...
Betty, Things DO seem especially bad after the tieback. I wonder whether she needs to be scoped again to look at that area (I suspect an x-ray cannot tell you...
Betty, My heart goes out to you and Sigleinda. She is a reminder that the surgery doesn't always go well. I'm not a vet, but I guess my first step would be to...
Thanks to each of you who responded so completely, and from the heart, regarding whether I should proceed with a course of chemo for my LP dog Misha. I'm sorry...
