Today it has been three weeks since Sidney had the Femoral Head Ostectomy surgery to ease the pain from hip dysplasia. He's been ok'd to start taking short walks and take water therapy sessions.

We are very lucky to have a hydrotherapy location about 10 minutes from home. It is called the Total Dog Canine Swim and Fitness Center. The owner and trainer, Natalie, is an RVT with 30 years experience. She was so good with SIdney, I can't tell you how happy…

No! It's not the sound of reindeer on my rooftop. It's the sound of the dog tags jingling as my dogs scratch, scratch and scratch some more!

I am so frustrated! I think there's a flea infestation at the barn from the barn cats. So I take the dogs to the barn, and even if they are on flea preventative they come home in fleas.

Last week, I gave them a flea bath and then treated them with Pro Meris. They stayed away from the barn for a week. They went out on Sunday…

My wife and I are trying to find a home for two of our Corgis. We have done a lot of thinking and praying about this and it seems only best for the two male's. A few reasons for our choise are as follows:

-The two males do not like each other and they need to be kept seperate which is very difficult in our situation.

-We just brought our new baby girl home from the hospital today and I can't allow the dogs to fight with each other. They are both great with kids, when they…

So, I don't usually brag, but the Cardi boys are worth an exception today. Just have to share that this morning, Jon Farleigh and Dewi swept the competition away to win their first ever First Place dog show award! Since neither of the two can compete in conformation, I am thrilled to present the 2010 ChesterFest Cutest Dogs (they tied each other). As proud as I am of the win though, nothing beats watching all the smiling children (and children at heart) walking over to ask if they can pet…

Our first summer with Tegan has been great! She has been kayaking in Prescott, AZ and camping on the Mogollon Rim. She is our little bundle of joy and sometimes trouble :)

Today we took Sidney back to Veterinary Surgical Specialists in Kearney Mesa for his 2-week post surgery appointment and to have his sutures taken out.

His fur is already growing back, so it was a bit of a challenge for the tech to find all the sutures! Sidney was really good and didn't complain about that. However, when the vet tried to show us how to extend his leg back, Sidney reacted badly to that! I said…

first i would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied. your warm wishes and info has been very helpful. i did get the call from the vet today saying queenie will be released to come home this evening, but that she will probably have to go back tomorrow for more fluids. they also ran another enzyme test on her today. if levels have dropped we may not have to bring her back. the cause of all this was due to a quarter sized piece of hamsteak i gave her monday night. trust me i feel…

Well, after a friends suggestion, I decided to take Kate to another vet to see what is wrong with her back legs. It took the vet all of 5 mins to tell me, Kate has Luxated Patella, and she has strained her back because of it.

I was actually tearing up at the vets i was so relieved.

She wont need surgery, and she will probably live a long and happy life, and probably wont need a wheelchair. I am so glad I pursued this and found the problem.

But she will have limited…

Hello,

Queenie has now been at the vet's 2 nights too many. I brought her in a couple nights ago because she was acting very depressed. We finally came to find out she has pancreatitis. Is this common with Corgi's? Has anyone else ever experienced this with their baby (ies)? Any info would be great. THANKS!

Queen eats very good. Blue Buffalo food and treats. Every now and then maybe a bite of people food. Never again though.

Ok, so last friday I was on the floor again playing with all the dogs...I usually lay on the floor and its a Corgi pile time! But anyhow I was petting Lilly and felt a lump under her skin. Its on her right side, bout 2 inches down from her spine on her ribs. I can move it around like a little marble, and it doesnt seem to hurt her. Ein, my daughters corgi, had a fatty tumor when he was a puppy, and I guess they are pretty common in puppies. I have a thursday appt with my vet just to make…
