Hi There, I've suffered two sudden losses with two Great Dane puppies (Duncan 8 months, 1 day old - heart attack on March 28, 2018 and Norman, 6 months, 22 days old - heart attack on March 28, 2019) - yes, you read that right - on the 1st anniversary of the worst day ever - Norman left me the...

So, I'm probably insane... :uglyhammer: but I am honestly thinking of getting both another Newfie and my "replacement" Great Dane puppy. Thoughts on same time / different time / age gap? Demo is going to be 9 years old in December so I'm thinking it would be nice to have puppy brothers around...

Hi everyone, Long time - not really. I had posted after my Dudley passed away (June 12, 2017) that I was bringing home a Great Dane puppy named Duncan in September. We did, he was an awesome dog! What a personality. We completed Puppy Preschool and Obedience One (with honors). We were to...

Hi everyone, I still lurk here all the time - I am friends with you all yet you probably hardly know me. I have never figured out how to post a photo on here (not for lack of trying) so I don't really post much overall. I wanted to update those who remember Dudley (we lost him on June 12th...

Well, this totally sucks. :( We lost Dudley to a pneumothorax caused by a fall he took getting up on Saturday. X-Rays also confirmed a Splenic Tumor (grapefruit size) which may have been the cause of the fall. My heart is broken to pieces and I cannot even breathe. Goodbye my soul puppy -...

It's been a while since I've posted but I lurk often. Dudleys doing well and is now 8 1/2! Seems like he was just the puppy I was pulling my hair out at house breaking him! No major issues after his TPLO other than a few red bubbles on his neck and head. Vet isn't concerned. One biopsy came...

Hi Guys, Recap: Dudley had his TPLO last September and did great. The vet at Cornell wanted him a bit thinner so we decreased his food to 3 cups a day (1.5 cups in morning / 1.5 cups at night). He did well on this (he also gets some healthy snacks like veggies and raw chicken here and...

Hi everyone! Dudley had his TPLO today at Cornell University. The vets there are amazing! :icon_bb: He is resting now and may come home tomorrow or Thursday depending on his incision. The TPLO went well. They did find an oral mass in his mouth and removed that. He has been very, very...

Specialist finally confirmed complete tear. Undeniably failed the drawer test along with gimping and pointing toe out & sitting straight legged. Surgery is set for September 17th. Insurance will only cover about $1k of the estimated $5k cost. I'm not happy at all and will be canceling as...

Any ideas what this is on Dudley? Was smaller and black a few months ago. Now it's bigger and red.

Hi Guys. Dudley has been limping when he first gets up from sleeping - just for a few minutes and then he walks it off (rear right leg). Vet suggested we watch it for now as long as he continues to walk it off after a few minutes. Yesterday he went in to get groomed and has not been able to...

Question: Dudley vomited 4 times this morning but only one pile of bile. Each episode ended with a very strange noise like nothing I've ever heard before (almost cow like). Since then, he's been very quiet and lethargic. When he does get up, he stumbles for a bit and then seems ok but still...

Hi Guys! Dudley's still having issues with is knee, possibly more but we hope it's his knee. Last weekend he refused stairs, was very lethargic, even to the point of letting breakfast and dinner time go without noticing. :( Took him in Tuesday and they ran blood work. All clear so they are...

Hi All, Scared here. Dudley came up lame last night, after playing outside. No obvious trauma but about 30 minutes after being inside, he got up and couldn't put much, if any, weight on his back right leg. He's quiet. It's worse when he first gets up from lying, severe limp, but progresses...

Hi Everyone, I'm glad to see NN back online! I really missed everyone. :( Kadek has crossed over to the Bridge last Monday night. He went downhill pretty fast and we made the decision to help him cross with peace, dignity and before he suffered any more pain. It was the hardest decision...

and I know it's not good. We noticed he was acting off the last few days but put the pieces together yesterday when he started yowling this deep, low howl. Took him into the vet right away and he is in Stage 4 Acute Kidney Failure. He was very dehydrated and his BUN was 180, Creatinine was...

from his groomer yesterday. I guess he is a bad boy (ie won't stand on tables) and yesterday jumped out of the tub, injuring the groomer's shoulder. So, my grooming career has begun. Which K9 blower should I purchase? II or III? I have shears, rake, thinners and a hose. Anything else I...

I can no longer figure out how to post photos! Can someone give me the quick tutor session? http://www.flickr.com/photos/38424174@N05/7114207055/

Hi there, Long time, no post although I do still read! :blush: Dudley is doing awesome! He just celebrated his 4th birthday in March (seriously). I can't believe how fast the years are flying by! :( This question is in regards to his younger brother, Demo, our 95 pound German Shepherd (2...

Hi All, Quick question regarding our "hibernating bears". :!rolling: Dudley has suddenly started being VERY Hungry within the last week or so. He normally eats 2.5 cups at breakfast (6:30am) and 2.5 cups at dinner (5:30pm) and has been running at 130 pounds for a long time now. Last week...
