Glad it went well . I hope she’s soon back home with you.

Sending loads of vibes for a successful surgery 🤞

Congratulations!

Long time since I’ve been there , for May show GSD rings were outside but yes I recall the halls were a bit grim . My lasting memory of SKC is that it was the show where parvo first appeared in the Uk . We had 2 dogs who became ill and a litter of pups who were very sick but amazingly survived .

As Susie says, use a t shirt to cover it. Or if you can find someone who could lend you a medical t shirt that would be best.

I admire your stamina . If anything is more than 1.5 hours from me I don’t bother ! 😛

When my GSD was about 9 months old we were sitting in a local town square with friend and her GSD just watching the world go by, doing lots of focus stuff, when a woman with a labrador headed for us announcing "I promised her she could come and say hello". The roar of "No" from myself and...

With a 7 year old I would definitely have bloods and fluids. Pre op bloods picked up kidney issues with my old dog and probably gave us an extra couple of years with him.

Aw those toe beans ! What about Cracker ?

I think I am correct in saying that Pardale also contains codeine so not a like for like comparison.

At least in America people don't moan about every vet bill because they are used to paying for their own healthcare.

If you’re already seeing a physio what are their thoughts on the lameness ? My lad has regular physio after surgery as a pup which includes exercises which are designed to help strengthen his weaknesses in construction which I suppose includes posture .

We had a stud dog who was used quite a bit and he was never an issue . He only bothered when a female was at their height , ignored them in the early days . I think sometimes if a dog only has one stud it can leave them a bit more obsessed but not always .

I I think the physio my lad goes to sees quite a few dogs with IVDd but the referral vet will tell you when it’s recommended I’m sure .

Sorry to read the diagnosis, but at least you’ve got one now . Sending loads of vibes .
