surgery

Hello all, I took my 3 yr old pit yesterday to the vet because he was limping. The vet told me he has a partially torn CCL. I told the vet I can't afford the surgery now and if there are alternatives. He told me to rest him for 4-6 weeks (like very very very minumum walks and keep him in one...

Sorry.................................

Hey All, my first post here and am a nervous pit parent. My almost 8 year old bully (1/2 pit, 1/2 ABD) ate "something" that obstructed his bowel. He had surgery to remove whatever it was (the doc said it looked like a peach pit or something, which didn't come from our house if it was). His...

My dog got injured while we sheltered another pit, now we need help getting Brünni back up to speed! We've always helped other pitties in need, anything you can help us with is greatly appreciated!

[CENTER] Hi guys! I'm Jo and I'm the owner of an adorable 4-month-old pit pup named Sol. I had no intention getting a pet, he found us. He walked into our house one day, I later found out he was the neighbors, but the neighbor told me he was unable to provide for him and I couldn't stand to see...

So my poor 7 year old male dog had 12 inches of his intestine removed and the vet has him on this canned food crap. And told me not to feed raw but recommends me the canned food and then to purchase purina kibble... and to mix it together.. but these have corn... so i dont think the vet knows...

If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it, Most of you saw my post that my dog is sick well we went to put her down on monday but the vet feels she is not bad off enough to put down. Her lymphnodes in her neck are swollen causing her breathing problems. Cancer test came back negative...

Hi I posted awhile back after my 11 month old pittie was diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia, beginning tears in both acls and more severe elbow dysplasia.She continued to become chronically lame and had to be put on pain meds daily even with all her supplements.we opted for surgery.She just...

Ok first I'll like to say hello... Well Bentley is 6 Months and he was neutered Monday morning. I read up things about how he would act it said he would be down, throwing up, wouldn't eat and anti-social. Bentley has been the complete opposite he's been extremely playful, eats normal and has...

Our dog Bailey started limping yesterday, we thought she had hurt herself and couldn't figure out how, but her foot was very swollen and she wasn't walking on it so I took her to the vet,and it turned out to be a lot worse than we thought,and now she has hip dysplasia and torn ligaments and...

So after Loki's last round of vaccines he developed a lump on his back above his left hip. I could have sworn that it developed in the same spot as the vaccines but who knows... Regardless, he is having it removed and biopsied on Thursday. It's most likely just a lipoma (benign fatty tumor) but...

Beastley is scheduled for surgery on his luxating patella. He knows something is up because he didn't get his dinner tonight and he is crying for it. I have purchased him a inflatable collar, ortho bed and a short leash. I have read up on it and it stated most likely shortly after this surgery...

Beastley is scheduled for surgery on the 20th. We had no choice, he is rarely using his leg and limping on 3 legs. I am at my wits ends. I'm not sure what to expect or how to prepare for it. Beastley has never been in a crate since he has been with us even though we use C&R methods. He has his...

Yep, add me to the list. Oliver is getting TPLO surgery on his back right knee on Monday. He had a bad limp for a while so we kept a close eye on him and allowed no play in between him and my other pit Zoe for a few weeks. The vet was able to move his knee in and out of place by hand and she...

Saw this last night on TV and went and looked more into it today found some good articles on it and what its about. They are working on a chemical contraceptive for female dogs now that kill the eggs without having to have the uterus removed and having the dog put under and having to go through...

My pups right ear stands but its kind of slanted its not to bad in the pic it gets more slanted at times. Vet said its just the way the dog holds her ears and that she needed plastic surgery to correct it? are they just trying to make money off of me? Would taping the right ear up work in my...

Okay, so Kane was admitted into MSU at noon today for surgery tomorrow at 1pm. They've already taken his radiographs and the measurements to go with them. The student handling Kane's case said that Kane has been a model patient, is so nice and friendly, and has quickly become one of the...

We went to our consultation today and the vet is very concerned about Kane's leg and the fast progression of the join and loss of muscle mass just over the past two weeks. He thinks it's likely that Kane has either close to or a complete tear of his cranial cruciate, because the dramatic muscle...

So...I'm 99% sure that Leo has mange (not sure which type) and has spread it to Lily. We are going to the vet Saturday, however, Lily is also supposed to get spayed that day. If she has mange should we cancel the appointment? I heard that dogs with mange shouldn't be vaccinated until it clears...
