I've had 3 dogs with LP. I'm not a vet but if the stridor (noise) is on the inhale, it is almost a given. And I agree with the previous post, vets are not...

Georgianna, Hang in there!!! So happy to hear your great news that Emma is home. I do understand how devastating this can be, as River has continued to get AP...
Our vet recommended exercise with AP as it helps bring up the gunk from the lungs. Dr Razz may have some recommendations in the file section. She may have also...
< I know you are scared, but there is little to no proof or evidence that anything other than surgery is successful for these dogs.> Yes, that is true, though...
I echo what others have said...make an appointment ASAP with a qualified surgeon. I haven't seen anyone else address another issue you have brought up...
Hi, Teresa, Welcome to the group. I was a new member not that long ago and went from knowing nothing about LP to research and surgery in pretty short order....
Not sure how it is in the world of animal surgeons, but with people surgeons, many definitely often see their way as the only viable option. Not all, but, in...

Hi group, His birthday was yesterday and his tieback anniversary is 6/10/08. He's doing great. The tieback was definetly the right thing! We've been so lucky...
