Dr Pardo, Lucy's surgeon, did not mention antacids, and I don't know whether he treats with "systemic" ones. It's not on the list of procedures, treatments...
I gave Boomer his pills in meatballs. You probably don't want to mush them or syringe them. If you're handfeeding meatballs, just hide them in there. I...
Hi Group, Picked up Mugsy from the vet after 2nd tieback today; discharged with Rimadyl for ONLY 10 day supply, tramadol & the Ace to be given every 8- 12...
My 12 year old aussie Sam has possible LP. She has not yet been scoped. She pants after going up steps and recovers quickly, so my vet and I are watching her...
Hi, I just thought I'd post once more before Maggie's LP surgery on Monday, the 5th. She's being weened onto the "meatball" diet this past week so hopefully...
Jeanne, Almost all of us dreaded both surgery day and leaving the dog overnite. But truthfully, it is a lot less stressful to have them watch the dog those ...
Very good question and I for one would like to learn more about this subject as well (so I hope we can continue this discussion on the list instead of just...
Hey Mary Beth, Was that you asking about how to best give a pill to tieback dogs? If they're sneaky like my Mykie and they know when you hide it in food, our...
Right on Mervi! (one of my exact suggestions) I think we should absolutely keep the topic going on-list. The diets are helpful for any aging dog, LP or not. ...
Thank you this is most helpful. Ginger was on a course of antacids for a bit more than a week post-surgery. I do think the pre-treatment makes sense and would...
I have been watching this thread with interest, as my LP Afghan Hound (at the Rainbow Bridge 8/2006 age 15, successful tieback surgery 6/2002) was afflicted...
Hi - Good thinking to pretreat with antacids - sounds like you had a good vet. And post surgery also. As Dr Razz said, many things can lead to AP post...
Kara.....Such a wonderful outcome for such a deserving dog. Im glad she's more than back to her "old self" again. This surgery truly is a life-saving...
I couldn't make myself post until today but I wanted to let everyone know that we helped our beautiful Hershey go to heaven on Thursday, May 1, at 10:30 p.m....
Dawn, I know there will be many here who join me in saying how sorry they are to hear of Hershey's passing. You and Hershey have helped so very many people...
We have a consult w/ Dr. Boothe @ Auburn on Tues. 5/6 with tieback scheduled the next day. He had a rough night last night (so did I) so it's none too soon....
I am so sorry to hear. My Payton went to the Bridge on Saturday, April 26, 2008. Hopefully, they will meet and become friends. We just brought his ashes home...
Hi, my golden, Barney, had tie back surgery on Wednesday, it was not planned until the night before. He has had a number of problems and LP for a year or so....
... **************** Dawn, I've/we've been worried about you and your beautiful Hershey - I've been cautiously dropping in to check for happy update posts....
... *************** Hi Marci, I just wanted to express my condolences for your Ellie.. I've been trying to track down your original post and finally found it...
I have to agree with Teri, here. My Britt only had 6 wonderful months before other problems set in. And, just when we thought, 4 mos down the road from those...
Hey Teri, I forgot what our last conversation was too! I guess I'm getting old just like Woody. ;-) Yep, his LP surgery was postponed due to cold feet on the...
Her passing had nothing at all to do with her LP and her tieback continues to be the best decision we ever made for her. It gave us an extra 15 plus months...
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...

Hi, I recently joined the group and have been reading the material here and corresponding with some very kind folks from this and the other list. It has been...
Hi Joe Sorry to hear about the problems you are having with Amber. As people with different dogs, ages, and experiences, we can offer you guidance and support....
Do necropsy results have to make us feel guilty? Guilt is a part of mourning our beloved dogs, but if we can put it aside, other dogs may be helped if we can...
