Hi Cindy,
Yuck...not the kind of X-Mas present you want to wake up to...
The best resource I know of...and one that several surgeons refer people
to...is Laurie Bryce's website, http://www.lauriebryce.com/tplo/

Hi Cindy
Our boy Bacchus was diagnosed with a partially torn ACL when he was 4. It
came on very suddenly also, one day he was just laying there and moved and
yelped. When he stood up he was holding his right rear leg up. After
diagnosis from the vet, we kept him on leash walks and crate rest [when

Life expectancy is definitely longer for a spayed
female. Go to www.bmdca.org and check out the health
survey results there.
In addition to the increased chance of developing
mammary tumors, pregnancy and whelping are a major
health risk for the bitch. Pyometra - your basic

My Berner girl, Toga, suffered a partial tear of her left ACL in
February of 2001 at the age of 3 1/2. It was a very minor tear and
wasn't diagnosed until May (everyone thought her mildly dysplastic hip
was bothering her). She had a TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy)

Hi all,
I saw a tv commercial today for the company TD Waterhouse that

I no longer EVER feed rawhide, in any form. Last year, just before Maddie's
second birthday, I had received free (from the Montana Company, with my Raw
& Real order) a couple of "natural" rawhide chews (no chemical processing,
yadda yadda yadda). So I gave her one for a birthday treat.

Hello, list --
Just got us a lovely new Berner, Sasha, who's three months old. As neither
my wife nor I are experienced with owning a dog, we're having a few problems
which I'm sure some of you (all of you?) have gone through.
Some background first. Both of us work, although not so crazy hours

It seems like my berner girl has cavities, little brown holes, in her teeth.
My question is, are they bothered by that? She seems to eat fine, no

I guess I'm in the minority here. I have used rimadyl on Gunner with no
