Well, it's been almost two months since I've updated this thread https://www.lab-retriever.net/board/senior-labrador-health/16300-congestive-heart-failure-chf-cookie.html and quite a few things have...

I am working on Diggity’s advanced tricks title and one of the tricks is running through 6 weave poles without a food lure. We’ve been doing agility for awhile now so this was a good trick to pick...
Great update, glad all of you are well. Did you have to do some competitions virtually?
How great to get an update! You all have been working hard. I'm glad you've been able to continue your work during the past year.
Barry's post got me going. I knew it would happen sometime but his post https://www.lab-retriever.net/board/the-ot/16294-so-if-you.html#post199916 spurred me on. Eddy came home two days ago. He...
I ended up clipping the hair around the spots, keeping him dry, and using the Gold Bond powder that barry recommended and it cleared up in just a few days!
My guess is that they're under his collar and it's been keeping his skin moist (maybe even just his skin folds/humidity/swimming). Vet would most likely be best.
In the meantime, I'd trim the...
Some of you may remember these posts from a couple months ago regarding me possibly getting a puppy out of my good friend Mike Enright's beloved black lab, TRAD. The pup would have been a full...
It's a bit concerning, to me, that allergy meds were given with no allergy testing. And culture of the ear debris but not of the skin lesions. We thought Oban's itchieness was seasonal allergy...
Today we are blessed to be celebrating Cookie's 15th birthday! Of course, we've celebrated with a cake, a stroll in the fountain and a walk in the park.

Who is blaming Purina?
I feed Pro Plan and had big litters last year, 6 and 11, and usually have a good number of puppies in my litters.
I haven't heard anyone blame Covid or Purina for missing?...
Thank you guys. Cookie is doing okay. He has an episode once in about two weeks (last time it was 2.5 weeks, yay!) but is otherwise fine for an almost 15 year old Lab. We just got back from a camping...
Anybody want to place a bet on Barry ending up with a puppy from each breeding?
Well, it would seem that the famous Lab Board Mojo has worked, and puppies are expected mid June.
As many of you know Mike Enright (IRISHWHISLTER) and I became good friends after he reached out...
Ha ha! I know you're just hoping someone will say that Stormy needs a doggo brother or sister to help focus her attention on someone other than yourself! It doesn't have to be a puppy, but a young...
Just thought I'd update. Charlie had his tie back surgery this morning. The surgeon said he did great - YAY. He was paralyzed on both sides. I knew he had this disease, but didn't think he seemed...
Yes a lot have said the hind end weakness can be worse than the breathing. I'm on an LP facebook group. Charlie also has the hind end weakness, but doing ok so far. It stinks to get old

Thanks all. I have an appointment today with an ortho vet referred from Vet #2. Hopefully something good comes out of it. Thanks for the feedback, I have been thinking about rehab (Annette47) and...
Just an update. Charlie is scheduled for tieback in 2 weeks. March 31st. I took him for a consult and surgeon told me he will need it at some point. He definitely has LP. I swore I wasn't going...
I feed my dogs both ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach and Royal Canin Labrador Retriever. They get 3 meals a day, 2 of one and one of the other. Why? The reason will become clear.
I order from...
Tanner had LP. At the time I was dealing with it, it was referred to as GOLPP or Geriatric Onset Laryngeal Paralysis Polyneuropathy. I remember it lasting quite a while in the form of a few years. ...
There is waterproof and water resistant Vet wrap, maybe that would help? Or a boot?
I'm glad some things have been able to be held, if not the most convenient way. I can't believe Sassy and Cookie are already 5 years old, They're younger in my imagination. Of course, so am I. Happy...
Good to see you back and catch up. Get well quickly Chloe.
I'm sorry she needed the surgery but so happy to hear she's otherwise in excellent health at 11 1/2 years of age! Sending quick healing vibes to Chloe!
