My 14 yo Lab named Seaweed, had her first crisis last week. Her LP has been slowly progressing but she collapsed last week in the first heat of the season....
Alex, Sorry to hear about Seaweed's crisis. I live in Mass, too, and Dr. Trout at Angell did my LP dog's Otis's (died 5/13/03) surgery. Otis had a unilateral...
Hi Alex I'm sorry to hear about Seaweed. It's very scary when it gets to this point, isn't it? I don't see any option for you at this point other than a...
Munchie goes in for her tieback at Tufts on Wednesday. I’ve been reading the files section with interest, and wanted to follow the advice about getting her...
Hello all.. I have been off list for about 2 weeks, (on vacation) and am sorry to read of the many losses during that time. I extend my condolences for your...
Alex--This all sounds very frightening. If you would like to email me at docschmoozer@... I will be happy to get you in to Angell to see Dr. Trout. You...
Hi Eric--Good that your reading the files to get ready. As you know a dietary change is really difficult to accomplish right before surgery. I am wondering if...
Hi Eric Before I forget, good luck Wednesday! As far as food goes, why science diet? What you want is a canned food that can be formed into meatballs - not...
Hi all, I know that a couple people had questions for me regarding Butter's condition. I am sorry I hadn't gotten back to your questions sooner but it has...
Hi Eric, I assume hard food is dry kibble? And you use low fat to keep weight off? Or does she have to be on a special diet? My vet always puts or wants to...
I'm way behind on reading LP posts and I'm off to a seminar in a few minutes (one of these days life may slow down!), but I just wanted to note that the reason...
Eric, Laurie has explained the why's and wherefore's of various types of food. Whatever you do, make sure that the food is in a soft, formed consistency so...
Thanks, Del, for discussing some of the issues concerning Butter's needed second surgery--especially having just lost Butter so recently. I know that is not...

Hi Alex, and welcome to the group. My Alaskan Malamute, Cheena, went through the same thing as Seaweed in Nov. We live in Western MA. between Northampton and...
Good morning all--I think Debbie has raised very solid questions that hopefully can be answered with some expertise by Dr. Rasmussen. We all want to do waht...
I am sincerely grateful to so many of you who supported us through last weekend when Moyo had some sort of respiratory crisis. These past couple of weeks have...
Lily--Thanks so very much for taking the time to get us up to date on Moyo. As you know many of us have written to you off list to hear some news. While I am...
Hi Debbie I can answer some of your questions, though not in medical terms! Is it ok with you if I print out your post and take it to my surgeon? Maybe Dr...
Hi Lilly I'm so glad you updated us. We were all worried and concerned when we didn't hear back from you. I guess things are as stable as they can be. You...
I thought the group should see how I am not entitled to express my opinions without getting offensive emails offline. ... From: notify@yahoogroups.com...
I think I'm confused. I thought this group was about helping the dogs and the owners make decisions and learn . I didn't know this list was about you and...
Thanks, Terri, for answering some of these questions. Yes, it would be great to have a vet consider them. It is clear from the complexity of this issue that...
oy vay . . . I wanted to risk offering my two or three cents here. I think this is an extraordinary list. I have a great deal of admiration for the people...
Oy Vay, plus some Joanne--thanks for the analysis. All I did was support what Debbie was asking for. A healthy and open discussion with information that can...
LOL…great idea Joanne… Let's analyze everyone's posts for "markers". That's a sure-fire way to achieve harmony. I didn't think Del's post was out of line....
Joanne, Thanks for the sane, unemotional (and professional) perspective. As long as there are opinions, there will be discourse and disagreements. Maybe I am...
Hi Debbie and all group members. I haven't communicated with the group recently since I am not currently personally dealing with an LP dog but I do like to...
Thanks, Joanne. Your discussion raises some serious concerns about what has been presented on this list--i.e., that debarking provides a slightly better risk...
