    I do not recommend "tie back" surgery for Labs that swim as they are very prone to aspiration pneumonia. Make sure her thyroid level has been checked as it can be a factor in Labs with LP. I...

    I am not sure where there is conflicting data. An upper level on protein has never been placed, only a minimum, and no such minimum has ever been put on carbohydrates because they are not a required...

    Food is protein, fat and carbohydrates and it adds to 100%, to make this point simple.

    If you feed lower protein and consequently lower fat, the carbohydrate level rises. Carbohydrate energy is...

    Do NOT mix a flea/tick collar w/ the topspot treatment w/o consulting w/a vet. Most likely that would count as a double dose, and most likely are 2 sets of different chemicals. You risk...

    I can relate, this is very much why I love my Weber grill.
    I can turn it on with the push of a button, warms up fast, the results are always satisfying and I am sleepy after too.

    We did 2 TPLO's 6 months apart on our old boy when he was 4. To the tune of $6K. He lived 9 more years after that. I know 8 is older, but labs can live pretty long....and they can remain pretty...

    Personally, I wouldn't care whether it was the 5 way vs. just the distemper/parvo. I buy my vaccines locally at a animal supply store, they go through stock so quick, I trust them. I had to booster...

    Woofie, I don't have the wealth of knowledge about this as a couple of the other posters have, but I now have my dogs get a 3 yr. DAP (distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus) vaccine one year after their...

    Eighteen weeks is treated the same as 16 weeks as she and her immune system were not yet mature. I have asked that question of Dr. Dodds in the past and believe my memory is correct on this.

    I checked. Revival does have the Nobivac Puppy DPv I trust, as do others. I have had no vaccine reactions with this or the 5 way vaccine. I do not dare give lepto vaccine to Cavalier puppies as some...

    A genetic reaction to "many drugs " due to the MDR1 mutation has nothing to do with biologics, such as vaccines. Merle or dilute or blue coloring might.

    You may wish to ask your vets if they...

    Dodds does recommend the one year booster (one year after last pup shot at 16 weeks) and then titer every 3 years. If you choose not to do the booster I would definitely titer to be sure your dog is...

    With Gauge and the rest of my dogs they got all their puppy shots and then their one year shot and of course their rabies.

    I have had young dogs with low titers twice at a year, so I just do the booster a year after the puppy shots. I have had good titers and results after that. The only parvo cases we have had, other...

    3 puppy shots and 1 booster at a year. And that's it. I'd probably do the last booster now, since you didn't do it at a year past the last shot. Especially if the vets are being a pain about it. ...

    I believe Dr. Dodds protocol does recommend the one year booster for distemper/parvo, and then no more beyond that. However I know a lot of people don't feel even that is necessary. You could...
