Hermine, I am glad things are going OK. When Otis (died 5/13/03) returned from Angell, he fell every time we went out for business. He recovered well, but it...

I don't know if putting the chicken in a food processor would help but u m ight try that. My dog has not had the Lp surgery yet but it is getting closer. Rae...
... The idea of the walnut-sized food bites is that, if they start to go down the wrong way, they are too big to be inhaled but small enough to swallow whole. ...
Hi Hermine I fed Boomer small meaballs (steamed) for awhile. then I cut Prairie beef canned food (very dense) into slices and quartered the slices. As...

Good afternoon Hermine--no I would not be worried at this point, so long as there are no other negative changes in Cheena's presentation. Water is the toughest...

Boomer still coughs when he drinks water - slowing down isn't his thing. Cheena will learn how to use her new throat - sounds like she already is. Keep up the...
Hi all, Happy New year to all of you and your furkids. Our new year has started off a little rocky with Sophie. She has been doing great, she has been way too...
When Otis (died 5/13/03) was on antibiotics, it was for a long time--he was on Clavamox for months for a dental problem and then later for the AP that ensued...
Good morning: Someone recently mentioned a procedure in which the dog's chest is tapped to help the lungs during AP. What is this called? I know it was a...

Good afternoon Hermine-- Most LP dogs lose weight over several weeks because of the change in eating habits. I would feed her slowly, but try not to let her...
