We just went through that with Jasper and he spent 4 days in the hospital. They had us feed chicken with mashed potatoes and Boiled hamburg with the fat skimmed off with rice. He lost about 12 pounds but is now on his way back to normal. He is now eating his regular food and doing well. He still tries to get what ever he can food the table but he gets No fat. The hardest was not to give his his string cheese. He loves that stuff.

I bcouldn't find the envelope so here is my e-mail addy rpul1@cableone.net I even hadWayne come and look for it he couldn't find it either. Ruth

I have never done anything like this before so If you know how to make this private please feel free to proceed. Ruth

ok, people, I have a brand new Slumber ball that Jasper will not even put a foot on it's the 44 inch in brown corduroy. we bought it about 8 months ago and still he won't touch it. I can't even remember what we paid for it. Who wants it????? Ruth in Idaho

Fantastic update. So glad everything turned out fine. Ruth in Idaho

Thanks for the update I hope things turn out good with the ultrasound. Fingers and toes and paws crossed for a good report. Please keep us posted. Just really worried about that guy. He reminds me of my Buck that we lost to Osteo. Ruth in Idaho

Thanks for the greyt update. Hope he continues to get better and is okay. Please keep us informed on his progress . Ruth in Idaho

How is King doing today. Tess didn't get sick every time she drank at first and we have no idea how long the problem actually was on going. She had a history of bad teeth so that's why we thought her weight loss was happening. She lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. That's why we had a dental scheduled for her. Six months before that she was fine and there was no indication of anything. Ruth in Idaho

My Tess did that and we thought the same as all you guys. Turned out we were very wrong. She has two tumors in her lungs. She would still play and eat greyt but I would catch her panting and laying down very slowly. She would stop panting when she saw me looking at her. We took her to the vet and were getting ready for a dental. They did xrays and called us to come down and talk to the vet. She one tumor the size of a grapefruit and the other smaller. There was nothing they could do for her so she didn't come home. Still miss the beautiful girl. She 11years old. Scares the day lights out of me when I hear of others doing this. That was really her only symptom. Ruth in Idaho

I have an almost 11 year old girl that has Hemoangiomas. She has had about 17 removed over the last few years and they always come back benign. My vet now worrys about removing more as they just keep coming back. He is worried that the skin is getting to tight to stitch. She likes to sun so kiddie Coppertone is a life saver. It doesn't really prevent them but does seem to lessen them. I also found that when Ifind one if I put Arnica Gel on it twice a day they will often disappear without surgery. When one breaks open I put Arnica on a piece of gauze and then wrap her with vet wrap to hold it in place. Her chest is very deep so it will all slip back and then you just wash it with warm water and apply a new bandage. She isn't to happy about the new girdle but doesn't bother it. Hope this might help with that worry. Ruth in Idaho

Our Tess had 2 toes removed due to tumors. Hers completely surrounded the bone. They were benign and she recovered very quick. It never bothered her a bit and hasn't slowed her down at all. She will be 11 in Sept. and I believe it was about 3 or 4 years ago now. She is doing greyt and no problems. Ruth in Idaho

I use children's Coppertone in the spray on Tess and have about 5 years with no trouble at all. She is the sunbathing diva. I'm talking sunning all 4 sides all summer long. It cuts down on her Hemoangiomas but doesn't completely stop them. I think in the 9 years we've had her we have had about 17 removed and they just keep coming back. The vet doesn't know why. Ruth in Idaho

Tess just had 7 removed last week. The Vet says they are beign hemagonias. Altogether we have had about 17 removed from Tess stomach and chest area. She is doing fine and goes back 28th to have the stitches removed. She will be 11 in Sept. She also had to toes removed because of beign tumors around the bones. She did well with that as well. She is on Antibiotic for another 2 days and then she's finishes with that. Ruth in Idaho

Hopoe Bu gets better soon. If all else fails try Simple Green, it take oil off driveways and about anything else that needs cleaning and it's safe. Lowes sells it. Ruth in Idaho

I use it for Polo who is pressure sensetive,she knows a storm is coming up to an hour before it gets here. Even if there is no thunder or lightning. When she starts panting and pacing I give her one. In fact she will come and ask for it. I'll say do you need a pill and she goes to the med cabinet and looks up and waits for it. Here is an article about Melatonin that I went by as to the amount and times. www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-angels.com I found a lot of good information in it and thought you might be interested in it and just maybe it might help.
