My big guy is going to chew himself in half. Any recommendations for treating hot spots so they don't get aggravated?

Got out of bed, poured a cup of coffee, checking emails before hitting the back patio to spend the AM with the fiancee and the pups, get slapped back to reality when the fiancee is literally shouting "honey!! Landseer!! help!!". I see a Landseer (identical in appearance to my Matilda who we...

Posted a month or so ago regarding our male newf/lab mix and the fact that we had to sheave him down to help with a skin condition. His coat is actually growing back in surprisingly fast (to me). As it's starting to get a bit longer (still less than an inch) he's started to chew his rear up...

Been a long time since Ive posted but I still visit . Just needed to vent, my male "PJ" as adopted a few years back came down with a nasty skin allergy. After trying every cure known to man we were forced yesterday to have him shaved. If you own a newfie just look at them for a moment right...

I just wanted to stop in and say "thank you" to everyone for all of their help over the past few years. My wife & I decided this week that we were postponing the inevitable more for ourselves rather than for the best interest of our little girl. The cancer was becoming too much for her to bear...

I feel guilty for not posting forever and ever but the real world once again caught up with us and I changed jobs etc etc. Anyway, I very sad to report that after all of the battles with our little rescue girl Matilda (remember the UTI's, the incontinence problems, the eye infections, the ear...

Been extremely busy in the real world as of late and haven't had time to stop in and say "hi" or even do much lurking for that matter. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and hope you and yours are doing great. They opened a shop here by us now similar to what Jeannie had mentioned some time...

First off, hello to everyone. I have been caught up in the real world quite a bit lately and although I still lurk from time to time, I haven't posted forever. Not sure if anyone remembers our Landseer female Matilda. Matty was starting to get a little stiff in the rear, moreso than normal...

Is anyone else's newf an absolute storage chamber for static electricity? Matilda is terrible. I can hardly pet her at all without the two of us exchanging the initial contact shock. It is seriously starting to frighten her. She won't come into the living room or family room anymore (both...

My wife & I are leaving tonight to visit family and friends for the holidays. I just wanted to stop in and wish a safe and happy holiday season to all of you and all of your loved ones. THANK YOU ALL very much for a year's worth of knowledge. (actually a lifetime's worth) Best Regards...

Click on the XMas album Shots of the kids including the soon to be famous PJ PMOY picture!! Sorry it won't allow me to post a direct link to the XMas folder for some reason. [ 12-16-2002, 05:24 PM: Message edited by: Shifty ]

Was surfing the net and came across this page on Ebay. Just curious if anyone knew anything...the name sounded extremely familiar.

Took Matti to be vetted today and honestly met the sweetest little lady. Our vet now has a groomer on site. I saw photo's from last week when she groomed a Newfie there. He looked really good, I was honestly impressed. We spoke for a few and she started quoting me her prices...here's the...

Just asking for a little positive energy on Friday. Matilda, our rescue, has always had a small skin tag/mass/lump on her one leg. My wife & I keep a pretty close eye on it and the vet wasn't concerned when we took her in after we picked her up in June. I've notice over the past week and a...
