Diana, does Dude have a big barrell chest too? I look at old pictures of Ranger and how she was sitting and I feel stupid for not realizing it sooner, I will...

My recommendation is to get to a surgeon now. Your pup has to be a good candidate for the surgery and my vet school would not perform the surgery after a year...

Hi, just a quick note that my dog had TPO over 7 years ago and has been great since. None of the complications you hear of happened to him and I'm still glad...
Julie, if your golden is a candidate, I would go with the tpo. You have experience being around animals, so it should go well. The dog can still be around you....
Julie, my 2 year old black lab, Ranger is a success story. The surgeries(worrying) and recovery was long and hard, it is a distant memory now and it was just...

Dear Megan- Hang in there! Yes, the first week to two weeks are the WORST! Actually, it probably is good that she sleeps so much in that the more calm she is...
