Be careful what you demand of your vet. In most parts of the US rabies vaccinations are required at much more frequent intervals than are now considered...
Vets can refrain from giving rabies vaccinations if they document that the aniimal has a medical condition where the vaccination would harm the animals health....
Your vet legally cannot refrain from vaccinating your dog at the state-required intervals. This is not entirely correct. I would assume that in most states, as...

Just a note to let you know that I had to put Bentley my Brittany Spaniel down. I am so thankful that I did the LP surgery about a year and a half ago. It gave...
Donna I am so very sorry to hear about your loss of Bentley. I know what you mean when they tell you it is their time and you have to love them enough to let...
This is interesting. I know here in MA, we are required to show the rabies vaccination in order to get a license. That is the only vaccination required by...
Hi All, I thought I would put this out there in case it helps anyone. My LP dog, Minnie, died about 2 1/2 years ago (unrelated to LP) and about 6 months after...
Chris, I absolutely agree with you about a dog's death affecting a lone survivor. My experience was told in an email back on Nov. 2006, with our Labbie,...
Donna, I am so sorry to hear about Bentley. I know how you are feeling as I lost my Jake in a tragic accident last week. This has been a rough week for the...
Chris First let me say how sorry I am to hear that you lost Pooh--I recall your writing about her and Winny. I repeat--it all sucks! I tend to agree with you...
Hi everyone, I have Niko a 13.5 yr old Lab who had tb surgery 6/15/05. He came home with AP and I made a makeshift hospital room out our kitchen with vinyl...
Chris,
I'm so sorry to hear that Pooh has crossed over. I remember some of your posts re her issues last year. She certainly had a strong will considering all...

Hi Donna, I'm sorry to hear that your Bentley has passed on. He's in a much better place w/ lots of new friends there to help keep him company until you meet...
There was still a mass on his latest set of X-rays, so we go the next level of diagnostics which may include a biopsy. He's really doing well - he doesn't know...
I don't know whether waivers are possible in all states. They should be, but... Your vet may know that, or you probably can find the info online. I imagine...
HI We had to let Niko go today. It is hard for me to write but I have to tell you about my wonderful dog. He was with us for 13.5 great years. We will miss...
It's possible that the very old dogs who lose bowel and bladder control simply don't know when they need to go out. So they can't tell you. They may well be...
Good Morning I have a friend whose dog has been newly diagnosed with LP. She has some odd circumstances that I don't fully undestand but I do understand (as...
Have her send a msg to lp-subscribe@yahoogroups .com (without the space before ".com") Teri, Mykal in Spirit, Jasmine, Elizabeth, Gimpy, & Buddie too! Mykal...
Hello, Cody needs to see a respiratory specialist before we can even contemplate having tieback surgery (and even then, it's probably out of the question due...
Hi all, Thought I would/should give you all an update. Yesterday Jesse had his stitches removed and as of right now, this minute, life is good! He is eating...
Kerri I had a sick feeling I would see that when I checked the list. I knew that vet would answer your questions and Niko would help you to decide. You adored...
As much as we all mourn the losses, there is some comfort in knowing that they died of old age and not LP. This is perhaps the greatest legacy of all those who...
Hi Teresa I agree this is all very confusing. Being BC isn't everything if they have the experience needed to help. I think from what I can gather is the...
BC is not everything. Our generaist refers to a non BC surgeon here who is thought to be one of the top soft tissue surgeons in the country. So don't get...
The oncologist has given me two options for treating Cayman's "squamous cell carcinoma, in situ." on her epiglottis. Her first choice would be to treat Cayman...
