Wanted to post an update on Cooper in case anyone else has this problem and is searching the board for answers. Coopers mucocle has disappeared in its own! It's been gone for a month or so and I'm...

Day 6. Cooper doesn't bother his incision at all while we're home and together, but I am concerned as to what he might do while kenneled this week for the end of his recovery period. I was off and...

Day 3 and things are going well. I am coning him when I'm gone and it was going well till last night when I put him in the kennel for 10 minutes while I took a shower. T he petsmart design isn't the...

Thanks for the advise everyone. Day 2 is going ok. Cooper is super mellow....from the tramadol I would guess. I'm not complaining!He wore the cone last night but seemed pretty restless. His...

Well.... Cooper was neutered today at 17 1/2 months. I waited till now thanks to the articles and posts I've read on this board, so thanks! I feel good about the decision to have let him mature...

My Cooper is the one with the salivary mucocele.... it is in his neck though, not his cheek. Since you feel them bilaterally.... maybe they are just salivary glands. Cooper's vet said that it can...

I'm not sure smart rock. I hope not. We're going to monitor the size regularly and take it from there. The new vet said to bring him in again if it gets much larger (as in doubles in size). He...

Thanks for the prayers and mojo. I appreciate it!

Cooper was just diagnosed with this problem as well. His is on his neck (upper) on the right side. It is about the size of a small plum :(.

Cooper update: took him to a new vet today for a second opinion. He did a fine needle aspiration and cytology. The lump is full of saliva, it is a salivary mucocele. Not life threatening, but...

Tapeworm?

Update: New antibiotic prescribed today. Recheck in 10 days. On to a specialist after that if it doesn't shrink. Cancer dr, to rule that out.

Hasn't changed much after 10 days on antibiotics. It may be a bit smaller but it's hard to tell. Back to the vet tomorrow.

Took Cooper (13 months old) to the vet today because I felt an egg sized lump just below his ear along side of his neck. I looked up some pictures online and it seemed to be where some of his...

Confirmed, two girls in heat across the street. Will he always be 'level 10' about a girl in heat.... or will he chill out a little as he gets older? Someone mentioned a hormone surge around 10...

Cooper has been acting crazy the past two days. Pacing, barking, acting like he wants out of the house (not to go potty).....basically acting like a pacing caged tiger at the zoo. For the first...

Or what about ProPlan Select chicken & barley or chicken and brown rice? Is that a decent formula?

He definitly eats a lot of bully sticks. Last night I bought a bag of nutro natural choice large breed puppy (lamb) and ProPlan sensitive skin and stomach. I also have the fromm I can retry, more...

He was on 3 cups per day for the last few months (1.5 c per meal) In the reintroduction I started Friday I was giving him 3 cups per day of kibble (2.25 cups i/d & .75 cup fromm split over 2 meals).

I did get a new bag of fromm, it was a different production batch too. I spoke with Fromm's nutritionist for 20 min the other day. They also sent me a voucher for a complimentary 33 lb bag of my...

Just just noticed there IS a puppy version of ProPlan sensitive skin & stomach. The 2nd ingredient is tuna however, which I wouldn't want my dog (or kids, husband or self) eat everyday due to the...

Cooper update: his poops were totally normal on while on science diet I/d. Since Friday, I've been slowly transitioning him back to Fromm large breed puppy, which he had been on since May. 25%...

There is a ProPlan formula for sensitive stomachs/skin issues. My vet told me about it as I was talking to her about foods to transition Cooper to after finishing a week of solid poops on science...

2 good solid poops today and a near normal energy level! Planning to start the transition off prescription I/d on Thursday. The hard thing is not giving Cooper a bone or bully to chew on. The vet...

He's home! On science diet ID for a few days. Wow, what a difference 3 bags of IV fluids & antibiotics make. He seems back to his old self. Still has diarrhea though.... hoping to see this...
