I had the palate surgery done on Dozer and also laser surgery to open up his nasal passages. It has done wonders for him. That being said he still gets short of breath when he plays hard especially for extended periods of time. The vet checked on him for a couple of weeks after his surgery and I...

Dozer sits on a foot stool next to the couch. I pull him up beside me when I watch TV and little by little he'll sneak one paw and then the next until eventually he's laying across both my legs.

Thanks everyone for the input and concern. I feel better about it already.

Thanks for your help! How did your dog's do after recovery?

I use Mineral Wells Animal Clinic here in Paris. Dozer has seen most of the Vet's that work there from time to time. Chad Edwards is the vet that is treating Dozer at this time and he has been very helpful.

What did you feed your dogs for the "soft/bland" diet?

Thanks for your concern about Dozer. I am located in Paris, Tn. not too far from ya'll.

He was given steroid treatment for inflammation and the plan is when that is in check we will go through with the procedure in the next few days. My vet did say that the nasal procedure would be done with a laser.

How bout ya Nashville! Good to see more Tennessee folks on here.

I just started Dozer on Fromm pork and peas. He had been natures logic lamb and did pretty well on it but I wanted to do better if I could.I tried nature's variety salmon thinking it might help with his skin and shedding but it did not agree with him at all. Tear stains showed up and it gave him...

Here is my boy Dozer.

Dozer has done real well with Natures Logic natural lamb. I adopted him when he was two and the previous owner had always fed him purina beneful.He had a lot of problems with yeast in his face folds red itchy spots on his skin and he smelled bad. I found this site while searching for general...

Welcome to EBN, I don't have anything really to add to the great advice you've been given but I have noticed something with my dog Dozer. He seems to love lotion. When my wife puts lotion on her legs he is always trying to lick it off, and it's not just her, just about any woman that comes over...
