Just wondering if anyone has opinions on what the best pet insurance company is here in Canada?

A friend whose daughter volunteers for one of our local rescue groups sent me these. Do they look like little newfie crosses? They sure are cute.

Vespersown Out for Justice, December 8, 2004 - June 28, 2011 We helped Teddy cross the bridge late last night. Our hearts are broken and I feel absolutely shattered. We will miss our sweet boy dearly and hope that he is in a better place, free of pain.

Well, after posting about how great Teddy was doing, the last couple of days he has been extremely lethargic, can hardly get up without help. Then last night when we went to bed, he came upstairs to sleep with us and was licking at his upper front leg/shoulder area. I got up to check and he has...

Well, Teddy had a very bad few days, vomiting, diarrhea (which is highly unusual for him), he fell down the stairs one day and had NO appetite for a few days. Really hard to get all the heart meds in when they won`t eat ANYTHING. So, we thought that maybe the time had come for our boy as he...

May be kind of goofy looking...but MUCH more comfortable We still think he's a handsome boy!!

Well, I broke down and we have an appointment for another cardiac ultrasound tomorrow morning. We had kind of decided against it, mainly due to the $500 cost and the fact that we already know his condition is fatal, but I'm hoping it may give us some answers and point us in the right direction...

Hi all, Teddy and Riley have both eaten raw for some time now with great results but with Teddy's dilated cardiomyopathy...and the $400/month worth of meds, I'm finding the food bill to be a killer. Don't want to change Teddy's food since the raw meat is supposedly best for his heart so we've...

Ted has slowed down quite a bit because of his heart condition. He still enjoys going to the park and visiting but this is really his favorite activity now :)

I haven't been on NewfNet much lately as my computer at home is screwed - constantly hanging and crashing - very frustrating!! Teddy has been having more problems than usual lately - he suddenly seems to have a lot of weakness in his rear end, has been kind of dragging his back feet and seems...

Teddy LOVES to lie outside in the evenings, probably cause it's cooler outside. Problem is that every time someone goes by, he barks. Not a constant bark but pretty irritating none the less. And, ever since our wonderful city put a bus stop right outside our fence, there is much more activity...

Ever since Teddy had his "episode"where he seemed unable to get up (and the vet couldn't find anyting wrong except digestive upset), he seems to be favoring his right front shoulder. When he tries to get into the car (usually he always puts his front feet up and then I boost him), but now he...

Teddy is at the vet today having some tests run, had an episode this morning where he couldn't seem to get up, was shaking and crying, at first we thought he'd blown his other knee but that doesn't appear to be the case. Hopefully, they can figure something out.

So, Teddy's itching does seem to be a lot better but the sore on the top of his nose is NOT and he also has one on the top of the head. The vet had given me Fuciderm gel which we've been applying three times a day. I had him booked in yesterday for a follow-up but then she called and said not...

:icon_redface::icon_redface::icon_redface: I am SO embarrassed. I took the Tedster for a bath yesterday and used an antibactial and antifungal shampoo as was suggested, and since you're supposed to be really careful not to get it in their eyes, I didn't really wash his head much, then later I...
