Hi Kathy--I am sorry to hear about Blondie. Has your dog been scoped, because if not, I would expect Wareen to do this and other rule out tests prior to a uni...
Hi to all, It has been 5 weeks since Jesse had her tieback. Things are going very well. She still has a little loose cough, but the vet said that is normal. It...
Hi everyone, Luke had his appointment with Dr. Trout today and Dr. Trout thinks he is a good canditate for surgury. So he will have the surgury tomorrow...
Hi Sarah I was thinking about this earlier and wondered how your appointment went. I hope you found Nick Trout to be kind and thorough. I hope you hada time...
I've been doing a lot of research on LP signs and symptoms and was just wondering is anyone here has a dog with LP that found an involvement with the temporal...
Hi Everyone Thank you for all of your help with my last email. It has certainly given me something to think about. I am about 90% sure I would like him to have...

You ask many wonderful questions. My response though focuses on the need for the scoping, or endoscope under anesthesia. This is typically best performed by a...
Britt and I made the 5 hr r/t trek back to Stuart to see Dr. Kathy Wander, DVM, Veterinary Surgical Center to get the sutures out and check the incision....
Carol-- This is just wonderful and I can hear in your voice how elated you are. As a doggie mom, as opposed to a vet, I would caution you not to rush into the...
Ted, Does anyone from the member list have DiAddicott's email address in either Scotland or England? If so, please send it to me and to Ted. Thanks. Ted:...
Carol, that is great news indeed! I'm really glad that Britt has had a smooth recovery, and I hope it continues that way. I was surprised that your surgeon...
Hello all, I'm here looking for info. I own a lovely 8-ish yo female Borzoi who was dx'd with LP in August of 05. The surgeon thought at that time that since...

Glad to hear all is going well. Gives me some hope if that's where we find ourselves here with Xeus. ************************************** See what's free at...
Glad to hear things are going so well. I am surprised, too, about the hard biscuit. Continued success ahead, Debbie [Non-text portions of this message have...
Just a note here, Hershey also is allowed hard dog biscuits (small ones, not the great big giant milkbones), and her surgeon OK'd it. As a matter of fact,...
Hello Heidi Sorry to hear about your problems with your dog. I would suggest you read up all of the information in the files section which explores all of the...
YIKES--is a perfect response in my book! I really think that vets who have not personally experienced their own dogs having LP really don't know what it is...
Heidi, First and foremost, the decision must be made to do something as opposed to nothing. I think you've reached that point that you realize that doing...
Sassy had her tie-back a year ago and was doing fine except she still had the panting problem even after the surgery. I took her to the vet recently and he...
I'm curious about this too. Nugget acts very similar when excited. She was a growler prior to surgery and and think the hoarse noise she make when being a...
I'm kind of in a similar but different situation. We were diagnosed with LP, but when we went in for the tieback surgery, they found that it was actually...
Hi Sue This is a personal call in my book. You took her to the surgeon who did the tieback and they were the one who was not concerned? Perhaps you want to...
Please forgive me, as I don't recall hearing your story before this. Are they going to remove the thyroid, do radiation or chemo? I think your ideas may work...
I worry about giving ice cubes to Zebo. I fear that a chip could too easily slip down the wrong way. I take flavored water (ex. chicken water, K9 Quencher,...
Thanks for all the replies both publicly and privately, there are good suggestions I plan to keep around. How ironic - as of today, I am unemployed - after 12...
Hi everyone, Just wanted to let you know that Blondie had an appointment with Dr. Weeren today, and is staying at the hospital for a scoping/unilateral tieback...
