In Danes I believe it is a growth issue. The fact that they grow so quickly (from 1 lb to 140 lbs + in one year) sets them up for all sorts of growth problems....

Hi All, Remeber with all raw diets, that it is balanced over time. You do have to watch the amount of bone as it can lead to constipation. Also look at Ton ...

Your right on the money about the growth issue. My boy has doubled his weight since 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, he already weighed in at 18 lbs. and by 12 weeks...
Hello everyone, Jake has been limping on and off since the cold winter. He did the same last year too and it all stopped once summer came. The difference this...
Actually if I had to make a guess about Dobes (only a guess mind you) is that they also have rapid growth - not like the danes of course. But, if you watch a...
Well, went to the holistic doctor. The good news is that Major doesn't have a true case of wobblers. It really is a possible misgrowth on his vertibra versus...
Janet: You should read the risks and weigh them with the benefits of the vaccinations. I had to learn the hard way with my Danes about the yearly vaccs that...
Not sure what your holistic vet means by this not being "a true case of wobblers." Wobblers disease comes in many forms. It isn't just a problem with the neck...
Barb ~ you're probably right about why the difference in when they "get" the Wobblers. Also, per Dr. Cheng, they are learning more and more about Wobblers all...
I am not quite sure I understand what he is saying, but if I am getting the gist of it correct, and he is saying true wobblers involves only the ligaments,...
Janet - I really feel that the Chinese herbs that Lorelei takes are what is keeping her from having the kind of problem that you describe - she is much better...

What wonderful news, Karin! Dealing with reduced food, while not easy, will be much easier than dealing with Wobblers. I envy you but I'm also so happy for...
I would NOT vaccinate a wobblers dog! I got this from my vet, and he was adamant about it. Never vaccinate a sick dog. Vaccines can cause neurological and...

Hi Susan, Actually in Trax's case it is a narrowing of the spinal column spanning three discs and this pinches the spinal chord. So, I think that is more than...
-Jacqueline and Susan, I understand what both of you are saying and I agree they may be over vaccinated. But sometimes I see dogs on tv that have gotten...
Barb ~ my over simplification of what Dr. Chen said. If I could fully understand what Marc shared, some of what she is referring to is probably in it. ...
AMEN Susan!!! After my Dane, Cletus was diagnosed with DCM, we found that the rabies vaccine had caused it. Made me so irate! I agree with you-I don't even...
I know there are many differing opinions on vaccines, and I respect everyone's opinion, so here's my take (especially on the rabies vaccine) - first off, a...
Yes, but how often is your daughter vaccinated? Every year? More like every 10 years. Dogs and cats are WAY over-vaccinated, with increasingly disasterous...
