Kim - I'm so sorry to hear that poor Cody isn't doing well. You mentioned that you've had all the tests - have you had his head and neck x-rayed, to see if the...
I believe it is 100 to 101 F but that can vary by dog. I know our LP dog was usually 99 normally. I spent a week or so prior to surgery monitoring her temp...

Hi Michele, It seems strange to me that so many vets tell owners their LP dog is not a good surgical candidate because of their age. Almost all LP dogs are...
