I absolutely agree! Trooper "grazes" like a goat:) I never understood why. But I dont think it will hurt. Worse that will happen is they will hack it back up or make some great fertilizer for your lawn:)

I am very dissapointed. I did call the surgeon back and demanded an explanation for why he did not do the full procedure and what if any progress this will make. Basically he explained again, that there was enough scar tissue holding everything in place so putting the sutures in would have done...

Thanks for responding with your kind words. I do have a call into my vet (who is not an orthopedic) and I will ask him all my questions also. Well you understand my concern at least. I have a mind to call back the surgeon and re-explain why he did not do what I was expecting. Thanks

Thanks for the response. His other knee is already torn:( Both have been torn so I am supposed to return after this one heals. I will have to see how this goes before I will put him through this again:( He already has moderate arthritis also. Poor thing, hes only 4. Thanks again for your response.

I just picked up my boy Trooper from the orthopedic vets where he was to undergo ccl repair. When he got out I spoke with the surgeon who, during the evaluation said that he needed to remove the torn ligament and suture up the joints with some sort of stabilizing "bands" that will replace the...

Okay here goes. My little Trooper is going to be 5 in August. He has had an ongoing problem for quite some time with limping. I have been to different vets and spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars to find out nothing:( He has had xrays wich showed perfect hips and knees and the vet said at the...

My poor little Trooper has about 20-30 small red bumps in his groin area. They showed up a few days ago as red rings. Then by the end of day they were swollen "blister" looking things. I called the vet and he said that they were just normal bug bites. We live in Maine and our State Bird is the...

Ooops! Sorry I guess I can't count very good today(Monday):mad: Anyways three sets on each side plus the two down low and the two up high on the chest makes TEN!!! Now does it sound normal?

I know that this is probably a stupid question but I want to know how many teats do male boxers have? My little boy has three "normal" sets and then he has two more (one on each side) nipple looking things on either side of his penis, and then two more tiny ones that look like "innies" high on...

Sorry, my mistake. I meant to type roundworms not ringworms. The medication should have killed off the tapeworms and any roundworms. I will try the chicken instead of boiled hamburger. About the pumpkin, is it supposed to be cooked or raw? Should I take it from a live pumpkin or do they sell it...

O.K. I brought in the sample of stool to the vets and it tested positive for roundworms! He has already been treated for worms with the rest of the litter shortly after birth. I treated him again three days ago when I found a tapeworm. The vet said that the pill would kill the tapeworm and any...

Help! My poor 8 week old Trooper has had the runs for about 1 week. He has been having very watery stool. I found a tape worm and treated him with medicine from the vet. They told me that the worm would probably not give him diarrhea but the food change would have. In return the worm (or part of...
