I don't post on a regular basis but I appreciate all the feedback I've received in the past. My Senior Newfy has been having vague problems for a while and today he was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. Has anyone had experience with canine stomach ulcers? Should I consider switching foods...

I posted a while ago because I got some weird blood test results on my male but he seems to be doing okay. Just wanted to say thanks for all who sent their kind wishes. Also, I've done some reading and I'm confused about protein and the senior dog diet. Is protein supposed to be increased or...

I posted today in the maladies area also because my Newf has an as yet undiagnosed problem. His white cell count is low and he may have a thyroid problem. I won't know for a while but I was wondering if it might be okay to start him on some type of supplement or holistic program just to try to...

I just took my 7 year old male to the vet and had a full blood profile run. His white count is low. She didn't say how low or what it meant, just that it would have to be checked again. In addition, his thyroid was borderline but she was awaiting results from Michigan. I'm very concerned and...

I have always used a medium slicker a couple of times a week on my Newfs for the outer coat. I'd leave the rest up to the groomer. However, I am a little bit concerned about the flu and would like to try to groom as well as I can myself. What is the proper type of slicker brush for the outer...

I haven't posted in some time and I don't know if anyone else is in NJ-southern NJ-but I am having a big problem finding a groomer for my Newfs. I recently brought my female in and I usually have her trimmed for the summer. When I picked her up she was completely shaved-she looks like a black...

Hello, This is my first post in this particular area. My Male Newf is overweight and is also starting to have hip problems. I do exercise him but it doesn't seem to help. I've cut back on his food. I read about a green bean diet where you substitute about half the dog food with green...

I have 2 Newfs-brother and sister. They are both fixed. I also have a younger male Brittany. I had no problems introducing the Brittany and they all get along well. The Newfs get a little rough at times and put the Brit in his place but no major problems. HOWEVER, my male Newf had health...
