Anyone have any experience with this drug? It was prescribed by the vet to give to Cassie before the 90+ minute car ride to have her surgery done. He...
Kris, I gave Otis (died 5/13/03) ace for his pre-op visit (pre-tieback). I didn't give him a lot--conservative dose, in fact. The facility was about an hour...
Besides the fact that my seizure dog cant have AcE, I've never been a big fan of it and I've heard of horror stories from other folks. Maybe bigger doggies do...
Kris, Our six Labbies have used Ace with success. It can take anywhere from two to seven hours for calming effect. In my mind, you have gone the correct route...
torbutrol is used as post-op pain relief on dogs. it is often prescribed to prevent vomiting in chemo patients. but it also has significant anti-tussive...
You got me there - seems to me the risk of vomiting is worse - that is what causes the AP in the first place - I too am not medical professional - although I...
I gave it to a large Lab who had a very bad itch, years ago before anti-histamines were prescribed for dogs. I gave him half the recommended dose, and the...
I know that sounds terrible! I so don't want to put a price tag on getting Kady the best possible care, but I just got slammed with the estimate. (am actually...
Chris, I can imagine how overwhelmed you must be. That estimate seems very high to me. I think most tiebacks run around $1,500-$3,000. Otis's (died 5/13/03)...
Chris, I feel your pain and know it only too well what it is like to feel you have no options. I can't remember if this is a lab or not? If so- would suggest ...
Pricing is why I am traveling 120 miles north of the Metro-New York City area where I live (Orange county) to what is considered more Upstate New York-...
Chris, That estimate seems very high to me..Did they give you a break down? As a comparison here in the metro west area of Boston, I had Luther's tie back...
Hi there - I don't know why that estimate is so expensive. I went to one of the top facilities in the Bay Area (e.g., N. Cal.), and I paid just about exactly...
Not sure if I understand your post. Vomiting and coughing are terrible after the surgery. The dog needs to relearn how to eat/swallow - vets recommend placing...
I was told, by Hershey’s surgeon, that coughing and clearing throat is normal, and that I would learn what was to become normal for Hershey. I have learned...
Wow! Sugie's was done (in New Jersey, not CA) for a total of $2,813. The original estimate, which we paid, had been about $400 higher, and we were mailed a...
I hear you. I probably was more alert around the coughing because Kumo had had extreme coughing spells for years, and two vets said it was nothing even tho' it...
All went well today, and she had an uncomplicated unilateral tieback. Despite the drive to get there, it was well worth the trip, as the surgeon and staff are...

Razz - Hope the header change isn't confusing. You make an excellent point. In fact, it doesn't make sense to me that a visit with a neurologist (or at least...
Chris.......I live in Tennessee; therefore, I know pricing here is probably more affordable but just wanted to give you my total for Crimson's unilateral...
Kris........Yayyyyyyy for Cassie. Im so glad the surgery went well and she's already on her way to recovery! There will be small bumps ahead but you are...
Hi Chris, I agree that the estimate you received sounds high. I live in San Francisco and Keely had her surgery done at one of the top clinics in the city and...
Kevin........Im glad Butch's surgery was successful! Thank God most dogs recover nicely from tieback surgery with little AP occurence. It's fine you wrote me...
I never saw the original posting for this--but just wanted to say I am glad Butch is doing well. There are some dogs who did swim after their tiebacks--I hope...
Hi Kevin, I am glad to hear that Butch's surgery was successful. I guess I missed your original posts so I'm sorry if I'm coming in late on this, but I wanted...
I was very surprised when I called yesterday to check on her status and they said that she was all ready to go home! After being told by the surgeon that he...
Kris, That a tieback dog doesn't want to eat right away is not unusual- Otis (died 5/13/03) stayed at Angell for two days and still didn't eat when he got...
... Hi Kris (& Cassie too!) Based on my experience with ace, it is a 'catch-22' drug. It may have saved my boy at times prior to his tieback by helping to keep...
... Chris, Refresh my memory: what breed is Kady?? If she's a Lab, go to labradorlifeline.org, fill out the application and hopefully I'll get the case.... :-)...
