Yep, I've read the blog before posting. She does have some good points.

The only no-go zone is our bed. The bullies have absolutely free reign of the house. OH works from home and they can come inside/go outside whenever they please.

Sorry to say but I find the original post a little offensive. Eg... "My responsibility is not to make you happy..... My responsibility is to the BREED first." Ahhh but it is if you care about your breed! If I am happy, I'll keep you (the breeder) informed on the progress and health of our baby. I'll tell everyone what a fantastic breeder you are. In time, I may get one or two more dogs from you. I will promote the breed at every opportunity. Etc, etc etc

Vet. She may need a bit of help with trigger point massage or chiro.

We will be thinking of you and Katy-Bear on the 1st of March. It sounds like you have organised the very best care for her. I am sure all will be well.

I am not sure I think if they are using host stem cells there is quite a bit of laboratory work to extract stem cells from fat.

We had donor stem cells. Donor stem cells come from young dogs, I was a bit more confident about concentration of stem cells in her treatment and there was no need for harvesting cells from her fat. IMHO it was a better option for Kluska.

Interesting outcome abgail. Kluska has her summer itches and the IV does not seem to have helped. Maybe all available stem cells went into the joints ?

When is the op newfsie?

Many thanks for your guidance Clyde and Frodo's mum. I will order a bag for the kids. They get only about 3/4 cup a day for lunch (rest is barf) but I am a bit bored with the good old HS. I would love them to experience new yummy food. (I am a bit careful as last time I gave Honbun pancreatitis with Orijen(?) bickies)

Is it better than Holistic Select? BTW, I tried Canidae = complete disaster (skin issues, elephant poos, etc)

I just don't get the idea of an outside dog Keeping a dog stuck by him/herself in the backyard most of the time is pretty cruel. What is he/she supposed to do? Watch the clouds or something?

One of my bullies has a corkscrew tail. It's not tight so we don't get too many problems. I clean it every morning with Curash fragrance free wipes and at the first sign of irritation/redness apply Neotopic H.

Inevitablue would be best to answer your question about IV. In the meantime.... IV is an intravenous dose of stem cells rather than intra-articular (injection into the joints). I decided to repeat the stem cell treatment with IV because: - I believed that another treatment would give us better results (pretty determined :laugh: ) - I have not found anything better than donor stem cells - The IV treatment is easy on the dog(drip and no anasthetic) - There have been good results with dogs that have had the intra-articular treatment and then a follow up with the intravenous (advice from our vet)

Yes. They all seem to be happy for Zac! Wonderful pic

It's not waving. It's a payment for services rendered :p

It was a good experience for us. However, it took a quite an effort to keep my girl quiet and "entertained" :laugh: She felt better soon after the op and wanted to do things.

Oh my Poor beautiful Baby Bear and poor you! On the upside: - It is fixable - If done correctly, the fix will last a lifetime - You, my dear newfsie, will grow immensly as as a person. During Katy Bear's-recovery you will find the new depths of patience, hone your skills of invention and bond even closer to Katy. Good luck. It's a journey

Words of wisdom. Thank you

Many Happy Returns to Sir Charles Wentworth

Yes, I would adopt him. The happy face shows his personality

Thank you. I understand what you are talking about. Fantastic pics
