My first Lab had bilateral hip and bilateral elbow dysplasia. I inquired about surgery many times, but every vet we ever saw said she was not a good candidate for the surgery. It was very severe. Her...
Welcome
I use the Freedom No Pull Harness. It's similar to the easy walk harness, because it has a front chest loop, but it also has the typical back loop. I use the chest loop all the time and it works well...
I use Malaseb for Roxy, but that's because her feet get yeasty and itchy. I wasn't aware it was yeast causing the itchiness until the dermatologist took some skin scrapings and looked at them on the...
I meant food intolerance, not allergies. We just went through intradermal allergy testing last week, so I've had allergies on the brain! Thanks for the info. I was hoping it would be an option...
Did the Nutriscan test actually work and give you real results? I was just asking my primary vet and dermatology vet about Nutriscan last week because of Roxy's GI issues and they both told me...
I have been in this situation a couple times. The first time was with Pixie, but I was bit and she was not. I had a small amount of time to react and I protected her with my own arms and legs. No one...
Thank you!
I've heard all kinds of comments about my field Labs too; Its not just bench that deals with that. For example, "what is your Lab mixed with, Great Dane?", as well as "she's tall or thin for a Lab"....

I was so sad to read this, Barry. Please know that you and Bruce are in my thoughts.
A few months ago, Roxy was licking and biting her feet excessively and obsessively too, and developed lick granulomas. The worst ones were on her front feet. The regular vets didn't seem concerned...
Was very sad to read the update. Truly sorry for your loss.
My dog had a UTI at 8 weeks when I got her, so it's certainly possible. Doing a urinalysis is the best thing you can do. Even if it comes back as not a UTI, at least you'll know one way or the other.
I just tried this as an experiment. I fell on purpose (of course), but in the process I somehow tripped over my own feet, so the fall ended up more real than planned. Roxy ran straight to me and...
I spoke to her a few minutes ago. She said she called her vet's office, and they said she could apply Frontline immediately after removing the collar.
I wasn't aware disposal of a flea collar was a concern, but that makes sense. I will pass that info along to her, thanks.
Yep, that was my answer to her almost word for word the other day. It got me curious, so I wanted to post in case there was a safety rule of thumb that people follow that I wasn't aware of though.
I have always used Frontline on my dogs, but my friend has a flea collar on her small dog. I've convinced her to switch to something better, and she was asking me how long you're supposed to wait in...
Oh my goodness, same here. Leaving her breaks my heart, even though I know I'll be home to check on her in a few hours.
Here's some of the bigger reasons why I refer to myself as the crazy Lab...
1. I have to sleep with socks on too. It's mandatory for me.
2. I don't like hardwood floors, despite being easier to clean. I always had carpet growing up, so hardwood hurts my feet when I'm not...
Was so sad when I read the update. I am very sorry for your loss.
I was so sorry to read this. You and Cookie are in my thoughts, and I wish Cookie a speedy recovery.
Wow, thanks so much for all of the info, Jeff. Your posts were exactly what I was hoping for. I will run all this by the vet as soon as I can get her in for an appointment. Roxy has been on ...
