Sassy is still doing well, My only concern is the panting. This is suppose to be better after surgery but is it immediately or after healing. She had not had...
Breathing vs. panting--two different things. The breathing should be improved. However, that does not necessarily mean there will be no or less panting. Is she...
Hi Sue, Regarding Sassy's panting: my dog Sam continued to pant after his tieback. The notable difference in his case between before and after surgery was that...
Sue-- I would check with your vet on Friday about the panting--perhaps you want to get a chest xray if you are worried. I hope it goes well and keep us posted....
Hi Sue - to quote Debbie - panting vs breathing. All dogs pant when hot, exercised, etc. The difference in her breathing should be on inispriation -...
Hello Sue, Tiger had his tieback the last week of May and is still panting - sometimes vigorously. He has had an EKG that showed his heart functioning well....
AC has been installed and brought doggies home today. Charles had his stitches out on Monday, and the surgeon said to forget about the Rimadyl, because he is...
Hi Joyce--this is all great news! I have some concerns about the 3 cans of food per day and that it sounds like he is just eating it normally out of the bowl....
Well, after considerable grief from dealing with people at my vet (I am sooo not going back there), I took Gambit to get another opinion about his cough. He...
Even after the tieback Amber panted a lot. We have had quite a few dogs through our house and I have found that some do pant more than others. I guess the...
Hi Laura This is good news. How did they make the determination about cough versus AP? Typically they must do a chest xray to make a decision. It sounds...
Hi Listers, I don't regularly participate any more, but want to share in the 3rd anniversary of my boy's successful LP surgery. Oliver will be 5 in November...
I, too, like Harriet, want to know if they did an x-ray (doesn't sound like it) because that is the ONLY way to know for sure it is or isn't AP. I would insist...
for owners of dogs who have laryngeal paralysisDixie also pants -- ALOT - all the time. She is about 8 weeks post surgery and still pants almost as much as...
Hi, Post surgery Corky was fine during day and any panting seemed to be from difficulty walking. At bedtime he more often than not would lay down on his bed,...
I also felt that Dixie is anxious at night and that is why she is moving around so much. It's so difficult to get her to settle down... But it's so much better...
Hi All, Gunther (10 yr. old Golden) had the uni tie back yesterday at the University of Wisconsin Vet School and reportedly is doing great. I get to pick him...
Penny is doing great! 6 weeks post-op she is back on her regular food (Eukanuba Repsonse - she has food alergies) and IVD treats. She can now go up and down...
Good morning all-- It is great that these guys are all doing so great. Panting is an issue in the summer, especially when they are more active. Panting can ...
I am still feeding Charles the hand rolled meatballs, even though Dr. said I could feed directly from bowl; giving him 2 cans a day. However, he is having no...
Joyce, All tieback dogs on the meatball diet lose weight and are hungry--welcome to the club. I don't know Charles' size, but are these two normal size cans? I...
Joyce, If he's not having trouble keeping food down, and unless your vet has told you otherwise, then there's no reason you can't feed him his normal amount of...
Hi All, Gunther is doing great after surgery on Wednesday. He was able to come home yesterday. Funny thing...the vet said to try to keep him from barking for...
Hi Carol, Good to hear Gunther's feeling so good post-surgery. But please don't let him bark - even if you have to hold his mouth closed or say no every 3...
Hi Joyce, I have to second John here. I just looked at Boomer's discharge orders, and by the end of week 2 he was eating his regular canned food in the...
Hi, Joyce, If I were you, I'd listen to your surgeon and to your dog. I had two dogs have tiebacks on the same day and I never fed them meatballs nor did I...
Carol, That is exactly the experience I had when I took my Sam up to UW -- he is 4 months post-op now and has never had a problem since. I am so happy you had...
Gracie is an English Mastif or Mastif X that appeared in my garage one day about 3 years ago. The veterinarian then judged her to be 3 or 4 years old. She was...
Well you certainly have been a great mom to have rescued this baby and given her so much love and care. Here is my 2 cents--if she has not had a scope under...
