Re: surgery recovery
We went thru 2 of these procedures with our English Mastiff. The vet provided a sling. She was on pain meds for the first surgery. The second one, she got a fentanyl patch as she was very hard to pill. She seemed content to be quiet, maybe it was the meds. I basically stayed home with her for the first month, to prevent her from walking by herself. Basically, it was outside to potty, then back to her bed. I fed her in bed. NO STEPS. It was a chore to get her in the car for vet visits. It takes months for the fur to grow back, they will be a scar-but her fur will cover it. I was surprised to see so many dogs with the same, 'haircut' and slings at the vets. Recent studies are linking early spay/neuter with these joint and ACL problems.725Views0likes0Comments- 339Views0likes0Comments
Re: Dr. Doug. Question
Thank you all that took the time to read and/or respond to my post. I was having a tough time wrapping my head around all this information. The isles at the pet store practically have platypus dog food,(kidding). We grew up feeding table scraps to our dogs. I think that a quality human diet would work for dogs. I personally eat a lot of whole grains,it's a good source of energy and protein. I think I will introduce my pup to adult Purina Pro Plan. I supplement with fish oil capsules, coconut oil, and pumpkin puree. Again, thanks! Hope to see you on the road!339Views0likes0CommentsDr. Doug. Question
What is your opinion of these grain-free dog foods. I have a new English Mastiff pup and I'm getting a lot of confusing info. 1.The mastiff people say to use 'Adult' dog foods as the large breed puppy food has too much protein. The pup can grow too fast, and have problems. 2. They also bash dog food that isn't grain-free. 3. I'm currently feeding him Blue Buffalo puppy formula because it's what the breeder recommended. He's doing well on it. 4. I have used Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Adult food with good results with previous pets. Thank you for your valued opinion. Thank you!1.8KViews0likes7Comments- 410Views0likes0Comments
