Dear Dennis We are all waiting with you on this. By the way, the other thing I wanted to weigh in on is "myelogram phobia". Again, I think that although it...
I would just like to raise an issue with this list. There is definitely a perception amongst some people that this is a very pro-GBI and anti-surgery list. As...
... very ... doesn't feel ... not a GBI ... Hi Susan, I think that you are probably right, but I think that it's perhaps more of a backlash to what those of us...
Hey, Waldo is doing well after he was very sick with an infection over the weekend. My vet said it was probably where they tacked his stomach to the wall so it...
Carol, To be honest, I don't *absolutely* remember whether or not Kiah had antibiotics, but I'm almost positive she didn't. She was on so many small meals that...
... Christy, aren't you the person who said her dog hadn't had a myelogram? If that's the case, I would also (with respect) say that I am *delighted* you have...
Susan -- There were times I felt similarly when writing of my decision not to put my older DoberGirl through any tests other than a physical manipulation of ...
Well, We took Tucker for his Mylogram, got a call from the Dr. (First, let me mention Tucker has had a minor heart problem since he was about 6 months old)...
Oh my goodness Dennis. You are really caught between a rock and a hard place. My heart so goes out to you. Once again I think only you can make this...
Oh, Dennis - I'm so sorry this has gotten so complicated for you! First, let me clarify by saying that Molly was a Rhodesian Ridgeback, not a Dobe or Dane....
Dr. just talked to me. One change, the cadiologist doesn't have a problem with doing the mylogram and then coming back at a later date to do the surgery....
Dennis -- what a tough decision you have before you! Remind me, how old is Tucker? My older DoberGirl Shelby had neither surgery nor GBIs -- her Wobblers was ...
I'm so sorry Dennis, for Tucker and for you. It seems sometimes now matter how much forethought we put into something, something else comes up to make our...
Dennis, Ok, here is my two cents worth. I have been watching the emails being traded from both sides and there is some truth to both sides when it comes to...
Hi Dennis How distressing. Personally, I would definitely get a second opinion for sure, and I would also check on the HealthDobes list who have a huge number...

Dennis, take heart. He's been through a tough time and will probably be lower than normal for a bit. Just love him a lot. Try, however you can, to control...
Dennis, Wish I knew what to say... your comment about this "damned disease" pretty much sums it all up. Tucker is so young, it's not fair. I hope you'll soon...
