I'm moving next week with my LP dog, Duncan (14 1/2!) and my two other dogs to Columbus, OH. I know several people on the list have had good experiences with...
The endoscopy revealed that his lower sphincter esophagus opening is not firmly closed as it should be. I think Dr. Razz calls this a floppy esophagus. The...
Hi Mary Beth, Here are links that may help: http://handicappedpets.com/www/index.php This has LOTS of info, resources, products, support, etc. The link below...
Sue, The subcutaneous fluids could help keep Raven hydrated since he isn't drinking water or getting water through food. Did you ask the doctor about that?...
Sue,
Try to hang in there! I don't think there is a medication that will always give the same results for each dog and ALL the vets we had said this. For...
Sue, Here is a web address for information on the condition Raven has been diagnosed with. I have shortened it using Tinyurl.com. The condition is called...
When I first heard Raven's diagnosis I didn’t connect Mega -E with it. Now of course I understand Raven's issues better although I have never had to deal...
Here's the update. Raven will be staying in the hospital overnight to make sure he is eating and drinking. I am told he did eat something today but will be...
SUE, IF RAVEN HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MEGAESOPHAGUS THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU WILL HAVE TO DO. MY MORGAN HAD THIS DISEASE AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE ELEVATED...
Sue, There is a good MegaE group on Yahoo! Acupuncture can be very helpful. FYI, chinese herbs can be quite hard on the stomach. They made River vomit. Lynn ...
In my opinion this type of rear end neuropathy isn't necessarily connected to the LP. I know I've read the articles that say it is, but I've got two other...
The love and bond we have with our 'kids' is never ending and matters more to us than anything in the World! There are no boundaries! Let me know if you'd like...
< I guess there is no way to tell pre-LP surgery which dogs may have it or are likely to get it after surgery. Or is it there before, but until the surgery it...
That's something I don't know for sure. I raised the issue b/c I thought I had just seen something Dr. Razz wrote that suggested that - but maybe it was...
... That was my understanding also Lynn. Here is a link with xray comparison. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/megaesophagus.html I belong to the pancreatitis...
Here is a web address with good solid information on Mega E. I sent it to Sue yesterday and she said it was very helpful. http://tinyurl. com/ngaa7c FYI: I...
Thanks. I must have missed this. I wish more LP surgeons were doing better presurgery screening. As always, her information is so important. Lynn Sent via...
De nada! (She posted the msg on the alt list but I'm not sure it went to this list as well.) Teri Teri, Mykal in Spirit, Jasmine, Elizabeth, Gimpy, & Buddie...
Oh Terri, I'm so sorry to hear about Jasmine. I'm currently working with a very experienced oncologist for Mandy's mast cell cancer. She's reknowned and...
That's her!!! She has a WONDERFUL reputation and comes highly recommended!
I've figured out what you do... You do something with each other that you've never...
Does anyone have any suggestions about cooling techniques for the summer months. My yellow lab Odis who had unilateral tie back surgery April of this year just...
I always hesitate to use the term Megaesophagus because that has a very closely defined xray appearance (on a plain chest film) and veterinary professionals...
Dr. Razz, Thank you for helping explain these questions! River probably has motility issues, but I was told she didn't have Megaesophagus. Also good to have a...
Thanks for the additional explanation. It helps explain why you can't always predict or prevent problems after tieback. Like anything in life, there are...
Raven came home yesterday. His eating and drinking remains spotty. The Internist said whatever he will eat--give to him. So last night he had Chinese food....
