Re: so sad, i think my beautiful girl has Glacomoma

Sorry, for the false hope, I just noticed your location, it is very late here. I hope you can find a specialist in your country.

Re: This might be useful for nervous dogs

Here in the Colonies I have seen a jacket for dogs called the Thunder shirt; it is designed to hug your dog; making them feel less anxious in many types of situations, like fear of thunder storms.

Think ahead, time to prepare her home to be safe for her disability. Do not rearrange your house. She needs you more than ever now. Leo and Zoey send their best wishes to you.

Re: Home owner insurance...

State Farm told me they do not discriminate against dog breeds; they leave that to the municipalities and landlords. I asked State Farm this year after I was told my insurance would be dropped for owning Chows. I have found many people to be negative about Chows; all that fur, high maintenance, snoo...

Re: Complaining to State Agriculture Department

I will find out what documentation for proof of wrong doing is needed when I see the agriculture complaint form and make my decision to submit a complaint from that. Over the years I and other pet owners I have known have had our pets and ourselves mistreated by the few bad apples that are out there...

Six months ago my blue ten and a half year old female Chow had spinal surgery after her back legs gave out. After a long recovery she is back to her old self. Part of the therapy involved the use of a low intensity laser on her back where the surgery had been preformed. I told her new Vet. that I th...

Complaining to State Agriculture Department

Should I fill out a complaint form to my states Agriculture Department if I feel a Veterinarian has mistreated my Chow and caused it injury. I have since changed Veterinarians, leaving my dogs former Vet. of eight years for neglecting and wrongly treating a condition for years. :evil:

Re: Having trouble with walking

My Chows have their moody days, my male Leo will go half way down the drive stop and turn around only to go back inside take a drink and go back out for a full walk. Sometimes he just seems to want to go without my female Zoey and will go later without her. Leo has been slowing down a lot in the las...

Re: Is this a Chow Chow ?

I do not recall the appearance of my first two Chows as puppies; but as stated by others there does appear to be an abdominal issue and the breeder says it is high quality. Without knowing all the details I would question the quality of the breeder who offers a dog with an apparent health problem. E...

Re: Hot spot

The best cure I found for hot spots is a bath before the on set of the warm weather here in the northern states; followed by increased brushing during the winter coat shedding period. More baths in warm weather to remove excess dirt attracted by skin oils, good breeding environment for bacteria. Two...

Kamie

Kamie; adopted June 2002, P.T.S. December 11, 2011. My shadow, Mother to Zoey, companion to Leo, you lived long, played hard, made me laugh and cared for us all and rarely ever complained. Rest in peace, I think of you ever day when I look at Zoey.
