I remember greytmates post in Aug 2004 re neospora info and surveys, plus other posters comments/experiences: http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?...120&hl=neospora I`ll still be Barfing, just freezing for longer and supplementing Vit E, altho admittedly only really use beef bones... Best wishes with Molly, enjoy whatever time you have with each other.

So sorry for your sadness Rozzie But Im sure your recently departed canine buddies Have moved on to their SECOND doggie Heaven Making room for more lovely characters in Mudgee Doggie Heaven/Haven I have much love, respect and appreciation for what you do Thanks so much for making such a huge loving difference in Dogdom

Unfortunately quite past the `somewhat` normal `maintenance`stage, of expressing alone. Being 5 yrs and after the 5th bout of probs (due to scar tissue from abcesses) The general consensus amongst the 3 vets is removal, I am for this too...its just choosing the best method suitable for her. Was thrilled to be given the cauterization `option`... (thinking it less risky and invasive). Only to be told the same incontinent probs could possibly occur, and the `cauterization` could go to far? Interested to know of dogs that have had to live with having them removed... The the next step is `who` to remove them and `how` best to for her :D

Looking for any info and or experience of anal gland removal? My bully cross originally had one gland infected after swimming in skanky creek. Recurring abcesses and scar tissue later, plus a scare with an odd lump Has made the vets suggest removal of them. Two vets say that the operation may leave her somewhat incontinent? Thru possible damage to muscles and nerves? One vet, and one lady whos maltese had a succesful op have suggested cauterization? The other 2 vets say this is perhaps an unsafer method? I know that my dog ( a bully x) is extremely clean and exceptionally fastidious (Borderline obsessive compulsive disorder) :D Any such bum troubles would play with her head badly We are just trying to find the best options and knowledge b4 we go ahead and carry out the procedure. Thanx in advance Nyena
