Hi again... I just talked to the vet (who's going to operate) on the phone about the blood tests taken yesterday. There weren't any sings of inflammation or...
Hi Bigfoot! I sure don't like the sound of that vet! She doesn't seem very compasionate and appears to be very negative about the outcome--almost as if she...
I agree this vet does not have the characteristics I would want in someone who I'm trusting to save my dog's life! Mervi, is there a university with a...
First of all: THANK YOU everyone for all the advice and supporting messages. They have been pouring in, and I still haven't answered to everyone (will do that...
When they draw blood for a blood count, if the tube doesn't fill all the way, the blood can be diluted by the anticoagulant liquid in the tube. Then the test...
Mervi, I am glad you found another hospital. Perhaps you could explain to this new clinic your situation. Maybe they can take Jasper in one day, do all the...
I talked with a vet at the university clinic today, and she said the surgery is absolutely out of the question unless the reasons for those blood test results...
Mervi - your last sentence really got my attention. Your bloods were run inhouse? Not great. Go back to your regular vet and do the blood draw and let them...
Mervi, There could also have been a clot in the vial of blood if the vet didn't mix it very well after she drew the blood. If that happens, and it is common,...
Right Martha. What the specialists said to me when I asked WHY such a huge difference in the results, was garbage in garbage out. Which meant a bad blood...
I feel like I'm spamming the list but since so many of you have given so much of your time trying to help, I feel that you deserve to know exactly what is...
Sounds like a plan. Glad you're going to the family vet to recheck bloods. As far as the pred goes, 5 mgs shouldn't cause excess anything. Predlisone I...
I saw this article back when it came out and I called my veterinary oncologist to inquire about this. Her response was that she has a chip in her dog and she...
*Permission to crosspost freely given.* Hi it's Teri, Mykal & Jasmine's mom (Elizabeth & Gimpy too!). As you know, I am a volunteer for Labrador Life Line, the...
Hello everyone- Thanks to all of you early birds who have already placed an order with Pampered Chef to benefit Labrador Life Line! For those of you who have...
Hi This is the first time I've posted. I've been looking at the sight for a while. Our 11-year old Golden Retriever, Casey, was diagnosed with LP about...
... .... Hi Janie, Some surgeons say no swimming while others are a bit more lenient with the 'rule'. LP pups have progressively lost the involuntary reflexes...
Hi Janey Sorry to hear about Casey. When my boy, Zach, had his surgery at the age of 12-1/2 I was able to get him back to eating his kibble within a couple of...
Hi, Sorry about Casey. My boy Shuksta 13.5 , two years post tie-back, has done great after his surgery. He loves kibble but I don't let him have it anymore...
Hi Janie, Welcome to the group, though I'm sorry you have to be here. My Hershey had her tieback in January of this year. She went back to her regular food...
Janie: Thought I'd put my two cents in too for support. My black lab Annie 10 yrs old, just had tieback surgery October 3, 2007. We do agility and my surgery...
P.S. There is a dog dish online that has 3 columns sticking up that is suppose to help slow your dog down in eating. I thought I had the website but I can't...
Janie, UC Davis is one of the best veterinary schools in the country, so don't worry about that. I don't know about the swimming since I have a Ridgeback who...
3/28/05 These guidelines will be automatically sent to the list every two weeks, so please don't think I'm picking on any one person when they appear. I just...

Given Jesper's low platelet and white cell levels, it was quite reasonable to cancel the surgery. Is it possible for you to take Jesper in to have his low...
