Research panosteitis

jlp8cornell

Sorry

Keep us posted as to her progress. How is she dealing with strict rest?

jlp8cornell

Congrats! I am an obedience junkie as well and boy does it help in the bird field!

jlp8cornell

Congrats and nice of you to rescue a dog!

jlp8cornell

just curious, what kind of "horror stories" have you heard regarding sedating the dogs?? I am curious as to the horror stories of sedation as well..... Also, have never heard of radiographs being done for hips w/o sedation due to the possible painful positioning and also the fact that many dogs wil...

jlp8cornell

Good idea. the Cornell group you linked is about an hour from main campus where i am but they usually make runs back and forth. Thanks for the ideas. I have a freezer full of dead chukkars but no ducks!

jlp8cornell

Thanks MG. Now I just have a find a dead duck!

jlp8cornell

I mis-typed- I was first told NO ducks until FF is done. But...by another trainer was told I need to start exposing him to ducks. I tend to think it is better to expose him now. So, if I am to start a step by step process....where do I start. I would like him to start to understand the search proces...

jlp8cornell

There is no set time for the first heat and though most probably have it younger than that it is not uncommon for a dog to go that long.

Especially if your bitch is thin and fit.

I fed Wellness puppy until 6 months, then switched to Wellness adult. (both similar to Innova adult and puppy). After one yr I switched to Orijen. Evo and Core are great no grains as well. My concern was Ca/Ph levels as well as not over feeding (in terms of too high protein/fat/etc). Grow them slow!...

jlp8cornell

You, and your dog, need to aim higher and think beyond that.

MG- I have been told we should do water retrieves with birds until he is done with his FF. So what are your thoughts??

jlp8cornell

Does anyone start duck work before the dog is finished with his FF? My guy is about 2/3 of the way through FF and so for now, I am just tossing bumpers and having fun. I am hiding dead birds in my yard and telling him to 'find it' and doing that kind of search exercise. Anything else I can do in the...

jlp8cornell

I feed Orijen and it is a wonderful food. Innova is almost the same price. I would not feed a grain free until the dog is 1yr old so if going with Innova....stick with the adult not Evo. My 2 cents.

jlp8cornell

Better an over worried mom than an under worried man who never asks questions or directions!

Ha--nice to see a man admitting to that!!

jlp8cornell

I was thinking on a hot day, for a dog who does not drink much. There are products in Ugly dog, gun dog supply, etc....

jlp8cornell

Thanks for all the input! As usual--I am an over-worried mom.

jlp8cornell

Just curious...Max is not a big drinker. I take a water bottle into the field with him and give him that but it doesn't seem like enough.

jlp8cornell

After/during a hard training session in the summer does anyone use electrolytes? Just curious. If so, what works well?

jlp8cornell

So sorry to hear that. I cannot imagine having to tell people theri dogs have terminal illnesses, let alone a spouse. Hugs for you and her....

jlp8cornell

Awwww. Great baby pic!

jlp8cornell

yep a real head-turner, very fit, great thick coat, coat color is great..what are you feeding? Thanks!! They eat Orijen adult. They do incredible on it. This is my old girl Chloe. She is almost 12 yrs old. Her coat in the sun is stunning-black as coal. Here....she is soaked to the bone as it was po...

jlp8cornell

Ezzy-- I was talking about Innova/EVO. Should have specified....Don't know anything about Blue Buffalo.

jlp8cornell

My friend Cheri (has Max's littermate) brother was visiting. Took some pics. LOVE the first and the spray coming off Max's body/feet. I have a $200 camera so a really nice camera/lens sure does impress me (he was a few hundred feet away)!

Sad.....quality down the tubes.....

jlp8cornell

Dave--Oh, Ok. Never heard of an actual pill.

jlp8cornell

Mine is 5'.No issues

jlp8cornell

Yeah...i posted the name earlier. Forbid. There are other brands as well. I guess I didn;t think about what I was saying when I said "makes the poop taste bad"! LOL- let's see- how about--it makes the poop inedible??

My dogs are terrible in the winter with the poopsicles!!!

jlp8cornell

Thanks for sharing. This is so sad as I guess most do not have flood insurance. Some of the country music singers are there now and hopefully will draw some kind of financial help. Worse then New Orleans but no coverage....

jlp8cornell

I give both my dogs Dasuquin but only b/c both have had orthopedic surgeries. I have never heard of giving a young dog with no issues, joint supps.

jlp8cornell

There are products you can buy (forbid is one) that you put on the dogs food. Makes the poop taste bad. Most are made from veggies that ferment during the digestion process.

Funny she doesn't do this outside. You are lucky about that. She shouldn't be needing to poop that often soon.

jlp8cornell

Beautiful dog!

jlp8cornell

I 2nd taking the pup to the vet since you have no history. It is very nice you rescued him.

jlp8cornell

Ultrasound at 25 days is standard. My question would be---how many times has the vet does this procedure? I would want someone who does this regularly and know what they are looking at. If you are in doubt, you should go elsewhere.

jlp8cornell

BdB Hunts--- Your dog could have had an allergic reaction or bite/sting from anything. I would carry the Benadryl- works nicely. I think the dose is 1mg/lb but you would have to double check. The strips are so easy and dissolve quickly. I ahve them in the car and house. Glad you pup is OK!! PS- You ...

jlp8cornell

Oh yeah. Mine like to hog the entire king sized bed. Or they sit in the chair like the most. I always tell them to make themselves comfortable at my expense! Spoiled.

jlp8cornell

Cute pics!

jlp8cornell

Last year my old girl got into a ground wasp nest when we were on a hike. All 3 dogs had multiple stings. We had Benadryl dissolving strips in the car. They absorbed instantly and were easier then pilling a dog. I now have a box in each vehicle. Same product as the pills, just easier to give and qui...

jlp8cornell

great pics. Thx for posting.

jlp8cornell

My dog and his littermate (bitch) do that. She is the worst. It's a dominance behavior. We just tell them to knock it off and they do.

jlp8cornell

I like the dbl doors from midwest as well. You can set it up in the back of your jeep and still have the back seat up. I have an explorer and bought the midwest crates built for SUVs. Can fit 2 side by side and still have the seat up if needed. Edit: I have 2 other crates set up in the house that ar...

jlp8cornell

I second the "go to vet" advice. If he does have an infection he will need antibiotic ointment for his ears to clear it. Then clean them regularly. My GSP needs his done more frequently then my mutt. He also builds up more wax in the right ear then the left. Anyway, I keep an eye on them and always ...

jlp8cornell

Proteins, fats and carbs are all metabolized differently. Higher protein (and fat) diets have a potential to slim down a dog even compared to a diet of the same caloric intake that has lower protein and fat. Protein helps build muscle.....muscle metabolizes calories a lot more efficiently. If you wa...

jlp8cornell

Preface: Not my dog.. Many of you may have seen this already on shorthairs.net or Facebook. My NAVHDA and obedience groups just sent it out as well. Something to think about....... I am posting to warn pet owners of the danger of antifreeze poisoning in their animals. Both of our german short haired...

jlp8cornell

My GSP is very lean and has loose skin. He's fit and very healthy- that's all that matters.

jlp8cornell

$750....wow. Both my dogs have $3500+ left hind legs. My next will come with spare part

Money is nothing. Dog are worth every penny. Seriously, ask your vet for some Ace. It's hard to keep an active dog down. If you were in NY I would give you plenty!

jlp8cornell

i hope so if I know who you are N Cajun! he sure needs work and so do I!!!

I took this picture of Max last night. I never have the camera but this time I did.
