Way to go RRRRRRFootball, James Beck and the Buslers. We knew that beautiful puppy was destined to be a champion! He has made his daddy proud.

My best Field Trial dog did not want to play any of those puppy games. He wouldn't hardly retrieve at all. I was sure I had the only Lean Mac pup that would not pick anything up! He really stayed...

I want to thank all of you who were so supportive on my original post back on April 1st and give you an update on what has went on over the last two months. It has taken many lab tests and trips to...

I just wanted to give Y'all a quick update on Doc. The vet tech called saying we had some partial lab values back today. The thyroid panel was not done yet. The serum bile acid testing was...

Sorry, my poor English. Should have read "have a safe trip" meant for Dave and Glenda.

A huge congratulations to Dave Seivert and John Skibber........way to go "Team Dewey!" What a wonderful weekend for you guys. Y'all have had a memorable winter trip and I am sure you will enjoy an...

I am so sorry about your dog. I have no experience with heartworm but in life's experiences I always go with the "error on the side of safety" 4 weeks isn't very long compared to a lifetime if...

Judy,
I'm sorry, I just need to clarify. This is a 8.5 year old male, that was retired from Field Trials after suffering an ACL insult, he is not a baby. That is why the vet was saying "aging".

Oh my gosh, I went on the net and searched Cushings. Doc has the symptoms to a "T". He got a steroid treatment about 3 months ago after his brother t-boned him on the hardwood floor and he went...

Back from the vet. The x-ray showed mildly enlarged liver and spleen. They did run the bile acid and the extensive thyroid panel. Those have to be sent off to Little Rock and will not be back for...

I feed water on hard food twice a day. I would say he then drinks 2-3 more times a day. I don't think I would say it is an increased amount though. I called my vet back home and he suggested I...

You all have been so much help, I can not thank you enough. Dog people are such very special people. I'll give you an update after tomorrow's appointment.

I am currently in Flippin, Arkansas. I am so out of my comfort zone with these vets. I am not saying they aren't good........it is just I don't really know them and have no history with them to...

How does one locate a "boarded radiologist" I am so unfamiliar with this area.....if I were back in Iowa I would just run him to Ames, in Arkansas I have no clue where to start.

Thank you for the "handler version". Are bile ducts something they will be able to visualize on a x-ray or should he be having an ultra-sound? I am currently at my winter home and I do not know...

Curt,
Thank you for your reply. What does "cholestatic" liver disease mean? I am just trying to prepare myself.

I took my beloved 8.5 year old, yellow lab Doc, to the vet today. I had concerns about several issues and just a gut feeling something was wrong. I had noticed the skin on his legs turning black in...

I have always had concerns also about putting chemicals on my dogs. I have a friend that bought a started lab. I think he was somewhere between 2-3 years old when he got him. He was totally healthy...
