Update on Frankie
We also saw an orthopeidic surgeon while we were there. He says Frankies hips are bad but he has seen worse. He suggests not doing anything until he starts to show some really noticeable signs that it's bothering him. He says he can dislocate it but highly unlikely. Just let him do whatever he is comfortable doing. When it's time we will know it and can take action. So that was at least on relief. He can't believe the muscle tone has. yeah water therapy.

| hmm, wondering if the vet is thinking something along the line of Erlichiosis which can remain in the body for years....... http://www.petplace.com/dogs/ehrlichiosis-in-dogs/page1.aspx Frankie does have some symptoms. Hope you see improvement within this Doxy course to know you are on the right trail. |
I really hope the meds work. Golly... he's had some challenges.  That's good news about his hips! It also gives you time to catch your breath. Each dog is different and can react differently to the condition but Panda's hips have been horrible since she was 9 months old. (Panda and Madison are the same dog  )http://oesusa.com/MadisonXray.jpg http://oesusa.com/PandaXray2.jpg She'll be 6 in October... she's still is not a candidate for an FHO surgery because she continues to move pretty well. I don't know when it might be required. Hang in there.  |
I hope instead of collapsed trachea its something treatable.  It sounds like it was really worth your while to go to the vet specialists. |
| I hope the meds work for Frankie . Fingers and paws crossed here !!!! |
| Hope they get to the reason and can help him. I'm wondering if this is why he was getting into trouble at the day care. Maybe he wasn't feeling good and/or this was bothering him. Dogs can get "testy" when they don't feel well. |
| Actually there is documented cases of OES with collapsed Tracheas where they have been operated on to stich the side open for them to breath a bit better. |
| Poor Frankie--I have been out of the country--so a little out of touch. Did something else happen to Frankie? |
