Dante had been bleeding, or oozing...whichever the case may be, all morning after I took him to the vet, and I'm not absolutely positive, but I swear it looked...
Poor Dante. Can he have the e -collar off when he is supervised to give him a break? We were lucky and didn't have any complications with incisions with the...
I know this is good for him in the long run...I really think this is happening because they didn't have the proper amount of sutures in that incision to begin...
OK...the vet says the incision looked pretty good...then she put in a few more staples...do you put in a few more staples when you think the incision looks...
Brindle was finally showing signs of improvement up until this week. She is now limping on the 1st TPO leg and putting all her weight back on the front legs....
I'm sorry that Brindle isn't improving as quick as we'd hoped. Is very hot where you are? Maybe that in combination with all the trauma of the last few months...
What kind of dog is Brindle? Has she been checked for panosteitis? Brix has/(had) panosteitis, and it hurt(s) worse than either of his surgeries. At times,...
She is a 10 mos english mastiff, she was recently diagnosed with pano for the front shoulder, I'm hoping that is all it is. I made an appointment with the...
Pano is generally isolated in the long bones. Brix has had a terrible time with it. His surgeon said Brix has one of the worst cases of pano he has ever...
True did not eat properly for many months after the 2nd TPo. Keep in mind that he also had several surgeries on a front leg going on around the same time...
We had a wonderful wake up call this morning at 5:30. True hopped off the bed and finally puked up the plastic that he swallowed 11 weeks ago!!!! I feel...
Great news, Jan! Congratulations!!! It always feels good to be vindicated. Aaron once locked me out of a hotel room. I had the door key, closed the door...
Brindle went back to the vet yesterday for her 8 wk xrays. She was there all day, when the vet finally called me he said that he noticed her having back pain....
Don't resort too quickly to surgery for a bulging disc if it has not ruptured. Surgeons automatically think of surgery to solve problems. Sometimes surgery...
I know you don't live in NY, but I wish I knew of a vet like that here that I can take her to see. What kind of dog is Aaron? And how did they find the...
I'm so sorry that Brindle is having more difficulties but do not underestimate her!!! True has had 3 surgeries since his TPO. They were unrelated to the hips....
It brings tears to my eyes everytime I read the replies posted here. It makes such a difference when you tell someone what you are going through and they...
Aaron is a German Shepherd. His hips are fine, but he injured his back doing schutzhund. His chiropractor always requires initial x- rays to make sure there...
Marylee, That sounds like a good approach once the antibiotics are finished but I wouldn't know where to start to find one in my area. Any suggetions? ...
Hi, I am also very sorry to hear Brindle is having problems. Where do you live in NY? I know a few people in a dog club I belong to who may be able to point...
True has had 3 surgeries on his front right leg. He had a rare skin disease that is considered fatal. The best that I can describe it is something like...
Don't despair about Brindle. I agree with Jan. These young dogs are SO resilient. I don't think that people think it is just a dog as much as it is hard to ...
Hi Janet, I have a friend who did OCD surgery on her German Shepherd, and had great results. ... All my boys are German shepherds. Marylee ... SO ... hard to ...
Hi Catherine, I would deal with the infection first. Get that completely cleared up, so you are confident that it isn't causing any problems, and then ...
Hi Its exactly 2 years now my baby had her second TPO, she is doing great, runs and jumps and even goes to dog shows and wins goods prizes, 2 years ago I was...
Janet, I'm sorry about the OCd but....everyone I have talked with who has dealt with it say it wasn't too bad of a recovery at all. Good luck with it. True is...
Now, I know from reading all of these posts that I am not having the worst problems in the world with Dante (who is a black lab, by the way) but he has broken...
Why valium? We used acepromicine and had no problem. I would rather put a muzzle on my don than an e-collar. It seems less intrusive. Good luck. Janet ...
Janet- He had been on the acepromazine for a week, and they didn't want him on it for too long, the vet says he thinks Valium is safer for long term use. I am...
Geez, what a mess. You must be at your wits end. Have I told you about Variton cream?? It's a cream I get at the vets that's especially to keep dogs away from...
