Hip x-ray question

Fellow L'ers: When my boy was 8 months old, I had preliminary hip and elbow x-rays done by his regular Vet. His elbows are excellent, but both femoral heads are at a "very acute angle" (instead of the head turning into the socket, the head is a bit more vertical in the socket). The Vet. said

A Belated Brag

I received my Dogs in Canada show results yesterday and anxiously looked up the show results from the shows my puppy had been in during the summer months. As I read the results, I discovered that not only had "Deck" Can Ch Susa's Fifty Two Pick Up, taken 2 puppy groups and a group 4 while on trip

The Great Squwak

I came home from a riding lesson with Moonlight this morning, and was stomping about the house like some sort of trooper in my dress boots and britches, figuring I'd wolf down some lunch and ride my young horse, Belles. Then, I heard it: an great rumpus of shrieking chickens, cackling and hollering

Couch Gene!

My puppy Timber (14 weeks) has just shown us that he indeed carries the "couch" gene! He is napping on the couch as I type this. :-) The problem is that our couch is really looking kind of worn at this point and I was just on the verge of replacing it. Can someone please tell me if a leather

recent losses

When I read Suzanne H's post about the Berners that have died recently I thought "She is reading my mind." The pain in those posts telling of best friends leaving is like a being that jumps from the computer to heart, reminding of past losses. For those of us that have had time to heal, the pain

RE: Knee surgery at 4 months

Hi Tina- Most orthopedic surgeons will suggest to do ACL surgical repair on a dog over 40 pounds, and allow the knee to heal on it's own in dogs under that weight range. Since a 4 month old Berner pup is in a grey area as far as weight...I imagine he is about 40 pounds or so already...it would

A Christmas Story for Dog Lovers

A Christmas Story for Dog Lovers Long ago in the deepest of winters all of the animals on Earth were abuzz with the news. "HE IS BORN! HE IS BORN!" cried the snowy owl. "Come one and all, rejoice!" roared the mighty lion. "Bring gifts to the new King!" The forest grew bright with the di

Re: Begging!!

Try putting him in a sit-stay or down-stay. reward him with his kibble- so that "human' food is just not an option at this time. Start with very short sit/down-stays when there is NO food (use voice positive praise and petting- Berners respond very well to this!)involved and increase them... now

RE: Puppy Leash Training

Hi, Your puppy is still very much a baby puppy at ten weeks and in a more natural setting a mother dog would not allow her youngsters to stray too far from home. Breeders observe their puppies' world expanding in leaps and bounds as they mentally mature and their inquisitiveness grows. Nonetheless

What does MS in dogs look like?

RE: Begging!!

Hi Karen, If anyone at anytime has given him a treat while eating he has learned that this is community feeding time at the trough:-) From now on this stops and he is totally ignored. If he is being a pest during meal times boot him out into the garden before he realises the humans are being fed! D

RE: SARDS

Dear Carol, There is no need to feel uncomfortable going back to the first specialist to discuss your drug changes. All you need say is that in your desire to seek as much information about your dog's condition you sought a second opinion and this alternative drug was suggested that your regular ve

Hugo update (had second disc surgery last Saturday)

I really appreciate the kind letters of support from everyone. I spoke to the head surgeon who did the April disc surgery and he said in 16 years of practice, he's never seen a second disc go out on a large breed dog. So the other younger surgeon didn't realize it was only dachshunds who are know
