Thanks to everyone for all input. It helped me make much more informed decision. I picked up Boone today from the University of Minnesota clinic. Wonderful...
Barb, We are so happy to hear he made it through his surgery and is home again and eating. That is great news. I can't answer the rear leg question but...
Barb, Hershey never experienced the extreme weakness immediately following surgery, so maybe Boone's problem is different but once she could breathe and we...
So glad Boone is feeling better. As others have pointed out, rear end weakness goes with LP too often. However the severity of it varies a lot, both within...
Barb - Grace (12+ y.o. Black Lab) was experiencing hind end weakness prior to her surgery in May 08. In fact, in March of this year, I had her in for some...
Hi there, One thing that we need to remember: LP is merely one symptom (or disorder) of some form of neuro disease that's been in the works for some time...
Ansley and Dooley, That is the best news ever! I am so glad Dooley does not have LP. Have a wonderful and fun time, Dooley. Diane and Payton at the Bridge ...
Well isn't that the best news ever! I had a mix (Lab/GSD) who had just that; and we maintained her on 4 mg Medrol once a week for a long time. Medrol...
Sunshine had rear end weakness before TB and it was worse for a few weeks after. It's not just an old dog thing - for many of our LP babies it's another...
Please send good thoughts Odie's way tomorrow. The prednisone did nothng to reduce the swelling on Odie's larynx so he is scheduled for surgery Monday. It is...
Does anyone have good suggestions for treats that are safe to eat post tie back? We are 2-1/2 weeks post surgery and have been eating meatballs from the canned...
Again, thanks to all for your input on Boone and his hind end weakness. Good news! He is functioning just fine now. (yes, you all are welcome to call me...
Hi Barb, What Boone probably has is called a seroma (sp?); usually they do nothing. True to form in this house, Jesse had one that got so big (like a...
I started giving treats again at about 4 weeks. I got chewy treats for him, rather than brittle and crunchy. I doubt I will ever change but we shall see....
I have mentioned these before on this site and I think they are great for LP: Pupcorn. You can buy a big box of them at PetSmart for $9.99. While they are...
I soaked some of Ali`i's kibble (Innova) in water overnight (equal amounts of kibble and water) and that turned them into puffy pillows that I gave him for...
Hi all I was particularly interested in the post about what their surgeon was doing that was described as different from the uni tieback through the neck. If...
I just got off the phone with the surgeon and the procedure went very well! They were able to remove the muscle mass (6 times bigger than it should have been)...
Hi Harriet, Maybe Dr Trout needs to read the paper this doc published before he makes a statement as to what he thinks? I also sent the post to my surgeon who...
Perhaps if the link to the paper was posted that may help all of us. BYW, we don't know what Dr. Trout has or has not researched and read, so draw whatever...

My Lamont has his UTB on 3/11/08. We went through 3 months of hell as well and he had AP 1 time. He takes 20 mg of pepcid 30 min before his meals. He has...
According to Ansley who took her dog to see Dr. Kern, there is NO published paper on this procedure. She wrote to me privately and informed me that Dr. Kern...
I know you must be worried sick about all of this. Please remember, though, that the LP does not heal itself. It was only a matter of time before River would...
