No we are currently experiencing a huge ridgeback shaped hole in our lives. :(:( We still have the 2 rotts and hubs says we cannot have 3 dogs anymore. I am, however, still working on that one! :D:D Wicket is a great name and will make you smile with his antics I'm sure.

What a sweetie!! I like 8497, 8514, 8519 and 8472 which is a head shot. I know you didn't mention one of those but I just really like it. It's a shame there is so much advertising in the background. It really detracts from the pictures.

Good night God bless Muttley. Keep an eye on your Mum and Dad 'cos they miss you. Brave decision. He had a lovely life with you and you did your very best for him. Hugs J x

Ah dissolving the little buggers sounds like a plan. Thanks for your suggestions. He's having another blood test so hopefully the dose will be less.

Oliver is currently on 44....yes 44....Metformin a day for his lami. He started out on 12 twice a day which he ate in his feed no problem. Since that has increased to 22 twice a day he has said no big time and spits most of the tablets out. So I have to crush them up. I started using a pestle...

I have 2 rotts and am 1 week in to recovery on TPLO #4!! Dexter is 100% sound having had both of his done and Sage is on her 2nd. For a big dog like ours I 100% recommend TPLO surgery. Your dog is pain free after recovery...well mine have been. However, how your vet knows it's a cruciate...

Oh no just realised it is you. So so sorry you lost your beautiful boy. We lost Matty dog just over 2 years ago. She had a tumour on her spleen which burst and she almost bled to death. She survived an op and lived cancer free for another 2 years. However, it returned and she had a 2nd op which...

Puppy Dexter He's the one sticking his tongue out! Grown up Dexter Don't have any puppy pics of Sage.

You got that right DG!! :confused:

She came home around 3.30. Dragged the poor surgeon down the corridor to get to Mum and then hauled me out of the surgery. I got the distinct impression she was ready to come home!! Weight bearing and pushing off bad leg already so have to be very careful she doesn't overdo things. Dexter has...

Consultant just rang and says everything went well. It was a complete rupture, she must have been so sore bless her. She'll be coming home tomorrow afternoon. Miss her already. :(

Thanks guys. I am pretty expert at the aftercare now but it's still 'orrible for both of us. I promise to share my misery with you all. :p:p

Well the lovely Sage goes in for her 2nd cruciate op tomorrow. Having had both of Dexters done already I seriously hope this will be the last. I want my bouncy girlie back but she is a dreadful patient so am dreading the recovery period. :(

Thanks MM. I did see the blow up one and agree it wouldn't stop madam!! :D:D

Anyone ever used one of these? Sage has destroyed her other cruciate and hates, hates, hates the plastic collar they give you. She is also a terrible patient and given half a chance will pull all her staples out so has to wear something. Desperately awaiting a positive answer. Mattilda. :(
