She's very cute. Congratulations!

I'm so very sorry. He left much too soon. Godspeed Dusty.

I'm sorry. Godspeed Kelsey.

Would you mind telling me more about Piper? I didn't know gas could be potentially fatal. I'm sorry if I scared you. I wanted to shorten a long and horrible story, and I left too much out. We were so flummoxed for so long...She seemed to react badly to things, including most meds, and went through various bouts of gas and one of HGE. She also gradually stopped eating--I chased her appetite through all types of food. For a while, we treated for severe IBD. After we said goodbye, the vets found yellow skin on her belly and inside her ears, and concluded that she probably had intestinal cancer that spread to her liver. I'm not sure, but I don't think gas is fatal w/o torsion. But whatever is causing the gas--even the wrong food, if the dog is sensitive enough--can cause other very dangerous conditions (like HGE). I'm glad your boy is home. I hope he doesn't have another episode, but if he does, I hope you can pinpoint the cause.

Piper had repeated bouts of back hunching. It was due to gas. But vets could feel the gas on palpation and see it on the x-ray. One vet was also concerned about a possible spinal tumour, although they later concluded that the pain in her back was referred from her belly. Just BTW, the medicine for gas made her back legs tremble. Her story doesn't have a happy ending either, but that was a few months and several more crises later.

Oh, Bev, I'm so very sorry. Losses are hard enough without having to endure them close together; practice doesn't help. I'm glad Poppy got to spend her last years with you. Godspeed Poppy.

I'm so very sorry. He left much too soon. Godspeed Tetley.

I'm so desperately sorry. Niña touched me as deeply as any GT hound--almost as much as one of my own--and I would happily have stolen her. I'm glad she spent her last months with you; I wish she could have stayed longer. Godspeed Niña.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed Lucy.

I'm so very sorry. He was much too young. Godspeed Wizard.

No advice, just and that he continues to improve--more quickly, I hope.

I'm so very sorry. Godspeed Cali.

I hope it's nothing serious, and he feels better soon.

I hope it's nothing. Just by-the-by, Betsy has been having similar issues for over a year, and we have yet to find anything worth worrying about. She said to tell you that even though it's cooler than it was, it's still too hot for an old broad. and

I am so very sorry. I'm glad that she was able to spend her last months with you and Gustopher P. I wish it had been longer. Godspeed Miss Rose.

I hope Beau feels better soon.

I'm sorry. Godspeed Bob Tail.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed Thriller.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed Rex.

Yikes! I'm glad he's had his surgery. I hope he heals quickly and well.

I'm so very sorry. Godspeed Wembley.

that the antibiotics clear things up ASAP. Edie thinks Passion has the right idea.
