.....Yeah, X-rays can only show you the bone - vertebrae.  They don't show
you if a disc is actually ruptured, but it can be inferred by the spacing of
the vertebrae.

..........I have a dog that came to me gimpy.  This year she went down one
morning and couldn't walk.  She had spondylosis (bridging between vertebrae)
that apparently broke and she also had vertebrae that were too close
together.  I figured that the bridging occured years ago to try and
stabilize her spine when she had some kind of injury.  She still had feeling
in her back legs and he said that if I was going to do surgery I needed to
do it right away before she lost more neurological function.  I'm not too
keen on back surgery for humans and wasn't sure about the outcome in dogs.
I think they really don't know what's going on in there until they open them
up, so asked for an alternative.  She was put on steroid shots every 8 hours
and stayed overnight at the vet.  (THAT was not a fun night.)  The next
morning she was up and walking.  I got a 10 day course of oral steroids for
her.  She was confined to a small area for a while, recovered and is only
slightly more gimpy than she was before.  She's 10, her tail also never
worked, so I think she probably has numerous joint problems.  I just
couldn't see putting her through it.  And I didn't think my back would live
through picking her up during recovery.  I did some reading on back surgery
in dogs and the outcome sort of depends on the problem.  Some dachsies, for
instance, can take a year to regain even minimal function.   It's also very
pricey.

.....I hope your dog can get up and around on steroids.  I also have narrow
spacing between L4 and L5 and occasionally have back problems.  Things that
help are fish body oils (salmon oil, not cod liver), quercitin with
bromelain and occasional asprin.  At your dog's age I don't know why she
couldn't go on oral steroids the rest of her life occasionally if she starts
to show symptoms again.  And for your pup, no rowdiness with other dogs as
she can't afford to be body slammed, shouldn't jump up and down on couches,
beds, etc.  You'll also live with the knowledge that if she should go down
totally again, the steroid shots are much less likely to have the same
outcome.

So called Invertebral Disc DIS-EASE is CAUSED by STRESS from
locking dogs in boxes and traditional OBEDIENCE TRAINING and
toxic ignorameHOWES veterinary malpractices and nutritionally
deficient commercial garbage diets they recommend.

Dr. Mark Neff of UC Davis: "The basis of IVDD remains unclear;
it is possiable that all Dachshunds are equally susceptible to
IVDD, and that only some animals progress to the full blown
disease state."

http://www.dpca-breedered.com/invertebraldiskdisease.html

How is intervertebral disk disease inherited? UNKNOWN.

Fibrous degeneration of disks (without calcification) occurs
in older dogs of all breeds, but generally only causes problems
in large-breeds.

              ------------

While that may relieve the SYMPTOMS it AIN'T gonna HEEL the dog.

He'll RESPOND as ANY critter does when given P-HOWERFUL
steroids. They GET SICK from the CURE. They THIRST and
PISS constantly. Some even DIE from reactions to it.

Perhaps you should consider the CAUSE and remedy THAT, first?

The ONLY problem with surgical treatment of DIS-EASE
is the CURE sometimes CRIPPLES or KILLS the patient.

They call it an EDUCATED DECISION, or LUCK <{}: ~ (  >

Forget the DHOWEbletalk. Have you given her some
COLD PACKS to REDUCE INFLAMATION for the first 24
HOWERS of her DIS-EASE followed by HOT PACKS and

Have you looked into nutrition and dietary supplements
like high dosages of vitamin C (an anti inflmatory).

There's LOTS of STUFF you can do to HEEL your dog other
than givin IT risky, deathly pharmacuticals and surgery.

Oh, it's the BREAD AN BUTTER of the veterinary malpractice industry.

          Here's HOWE The Incredibly Freakin Insanely
          Simply Amazing Puppy Wizard feeds his dogs:

               Breakfast At The Puppy Wizard's -
                       Chez du Chien -
                      Gourmet Recipies

HOWEDY People,

Unbeknownst to yourselves, this has been a difficult
couple weeks for Your Puppy Wizard. Not to complain,
but he's been necessarily temporarily abandoned by
his Mrs.Puppy Wizard who had to attend to affairs out
of town for nine days.

Left alone, helpless and hapless to cope with domestic
and personal needs, to fend for HISSELF and his pups by
his own devices, his Mrs. Puppy Wizard HOWEver, is
considerate and foresighted enough to prepare His table
before him, in advance, and even calls to remind him to
breath, when necessary.

Your Puppy Wizard requires little from the physical realm,
existing primarily on prahana and nirvana as his staple diet.
HOWEver, his puppies unfortunately cannot thrive in the
physical world without the grounding effects of the evils
of wholesome food.

Mrs. Puppy Wizard prepares daily, fresh, well balanced
HOWES cooked meals. When Mrs. Puppy Wizard travels
occasionally, she prepares for the days of lean in advance,
by freezing two weeks worth of puppy chow and posting the
culinary instructions on the Puppy Wizard's coffee can, the
only physical need The Puppy Wizard requires, beyond his
internet connection and of course, his Mrs. Puppy Wizard
and puppies. But those are givens, naturally.

Mrs. Puppy Wizard prepares 2 meals a day. The
following recipe is for about a 100 pound dog:

Breakfast is half pound raw ground turkey, green
Source, and 1gram vitamin C, 200mg Omega 3 fish
oil and a *Iams cookie *(cause she LIKES to).

Dinner is 2 cups cooked rice, a tablespoon of rolled
oats and an ounce of hamburg. When the rice and oats
cool, add half cup pinto or similar beans, ground fine
in the food processor with equal amounts raw collard or
similar greens or your dog's favorite vegetable or cabbage,
a tablespoon or two Olive or Cannola oil, half clove garlic,
mixed with 1/2 pound raw ground turkey, a good vitamin /
mineral supplement (Green Source for People), calcium and
magnesium, 1 gram vitamin C, 200mg Omega 3 fish oil.

Addition of table scraps is encouraged, bear in mind
salt can be dangerous. The Puppy Wizard's diet is
environmentally friendly and will not produce noxiHOWES
gasses provided the vegetable and beans are ground
finely and because the Green Source contains digestive
enzmyes. Chicken necks are an EXXXCELLENT source of
thyroid hormones.

Of curse, that's just a BASIC guide. You may add fish
(canned mackrel is cheap and EXXXCELLENT) or chitlins,
liver or anything not too high in salt or preservatives.

               BHOWEN APETITE!

Oral administration of bovine lactoferrin for treatment of
intractable stomatitis in feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)
positive and FIV-negative cats.

Am J Vet Res 57[10]:1443-6 1996 Oct

Sato R ; Inanami O ; Tanaka Y ; Takase M ; Naito Y
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of oral administration
of bovine lactoferrin (LF) on intractable stomatitis
in feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-positive and
FIV-negative cats, and phagocytosis of neutrophils
in healthy and ill cats, simultaneously. ANIMALS: 7
ill cats with diagnosis of intractable stomatitis (4
FIV positive and 3 FIV negative) and 7 healthy,
FIV-negative cats. PROCEDURE:

LF (40 mg/kg ot body weight) was applied topically to the oral
mucosa of cats with intractable stomatitis daily for 14 days
and improvement of clinical signs of disease (pain-related
response, salivation, appetite, and oral inflammation), expressed
by scoring from 1 to 4, were evaluated. Assay of neutrophil
phagocytosis was examined before and 2 weeks after starting LF
treatment, using nonopsonized hydrophilic polymer particles (2
microns). RESULTS: Oral administration of LF improved intractable
stomatitis in all 4 respects. Phagocytic activity of neutrophils
increased after LF treatment.

This effect was observed in healthy and ill (FIV positive
and FIV negative) cats. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE:

Oral administration of LF improved intractable stomatitis
and concurrently enhanced the host defense system. Topical
application of LF to oral mucous membrane is useful as a
treatment for intractable stomatitis even in FIV-positive
cats.

My 9 year old female Samoyed was put on the poison
Rimadyl for about 2 weeks for arthritic knee. I read
posts to this group discussing the horrors of the drug.

She was in such pain, I decided to give her a few more
dosages. I should have listened to you wise posters.

For three days my dog had weird yellow urine and yesterday
and today wouldn't eat. I took her to the vet and found out
she now has liver damage and will be in the hospital for as
long as it takes to reverse the damage--IF  they are able to.

Cady, our Sammy, was a pretty healthy dog until the Rimadyl.

Now she's on the critical list. The makers of Rimadyl should
be put out of business. They are marketing poison and should
be forced to take it themselves.

I sincerely hope your dog will survive.  This drug
has been on the market for over a year now - the
Pfizer Co. that makes this drug has been allowing the
deaths of hundreds of dogs to occur because they will
not make public the many serious and deadly side effects.

The drug was never tested properly - it was not tested
long enough - the dosage prescribed in the U.S. is higher
than that prescribed in England where Rimadyl has been
used for a much longer time.

There are many people who have owned older dogs and put
them on Rimadyl as a last resort to help ease the pain
of arthritis.  When the poor dog dies, does the owner
question the use of Rimadyl?

Probably not.  They just think their dog died of old age.

Pfizer does not care - they care about the money they make
from the drug!  Vets don't care - they care about keeping
the drug manufacturers happy and looking out for each other.

The drug reps don't care - they tell the vets what the
vets want to hear so the vets will buy the drugs that
they sell at an incredible markup

Only the dogs suffer - if your dog is on Rimadyl you had
better make your vet do blood workups, etc. - or your dog
may join the other poor animals who have suffered liver
problems, severe hemorrhaging, perforate ulcers and god
knows what other effects from this drug.

Arthritis Drug "Rimadyl" Kills Dogs! Please read on ...
Date: 2000/03/13

Read the article on the front page of today's Wall Street
Journal. It states that Rimadyl is toxic and creates deadly
liver complications in dogs. Vets new this as early as 1998
as have not properly informed dog owners.

My Golden just died of Liver Cancer and he was on a strong
dose of Rimadyl.

Please warn owners and friends of these risks.  Vets are
supposed to warn owners of the side-effects but they have not!

My former vet (Bradford Hills Vet in Pittsburgh PA)
certtainly did not!  They stated that Rimadyl was like a
prescription aspirin and handed me a bottle for my dog's
first treatment. I would not have treated my dog had I
known otherwise.

Also, these Vets receive perks from the drug manufacturer
Pfizer when they buy Rimadyl to sell to animal owners.  Vets
could get points from Pfizer for each Rimadyl purchase they
made; points were redeemable for PalmPilots, Zip Drives, and

Please reference today's Wall Street Journal for additional
details, and please, pass this information on to other animal
owners.

Thank you. Jason Hamilton

Post Script: Rimadyl is a frequently prescribed anti-
inflammatory used to treat dogs with arthritis.  Pfizer
studies as far back as 1997 show deaths as a result of
ingesting Rimadyl.  Being that the drug is very profitable
to vets and the drug manufacturer, many vets and Pfizer
have not communicated the drug's deadly risk to the public
as originally requested by the FDA. The FDA had asked Pfizer
to state one of the drugs side -effects as, "death".  Pfizer
chose to withdrawal their commercials rather than state
"death" as a side-effect.

LAWSUIT OVER VETERINARY DRUG SETTLED FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Johns Island, South Carolina -
August 18, 2004

Jean Townsend of Johns Island, South Carolina announced
today that a settlement has been reached with Pfizer, Inc.
in what appears to be the first lawsuit of its kind in this
country - a lawsuit over injuries that led to the death of
Ms. Townsend's chocolate lab, George.

Ms. Townsend originally brought a class action lawsuit against
Pfizer in October of 1999, two years after the tragic death of
George. The lawsuit alleged that after initial approval by the
FDA, the drug RimadylR, which was the subject of an unprecedented
multi-million dollar advertising campaign, was marketed without a
complete understanding of the serious side-effects that could
result from the drug.

Ms. Townsend also alleged that neither she nor her vet
were adequately warned of the potential side-effects.

After administering the drug for only 14 days, George developed
severe internal bleeding and ultimately liver failure. George was
euthanized on October 13, 1997. In reaching the settlement, Pfizer
has admitted no wrong- doing.

"It was truly horrible," said Townsend of the experience.

"But the most troubling aspect of the ordeal was when I later
learned that similar side-effects had been reported to Pfizer
and the FDA months before I first gave the drug to my dog.

Yet even after my pet became sick, I continued to give him the
pills because they were supposed to make him feel better. I had
no idea that he was suffering from the side-effects of RimadylR.

It is devastating to live with the realization that I gave my
beloved pet medicine to help him when, in fact, it was killing
him." After reporting George's death to Pfizer, Ms. Townsend
was offered a $249.33 settlement, but the offer came with the
condition that the settlement remain confidential.

Ms. Townsend refused. In the months following George's death,
Ms. Townsend began researching this drug on the internet and
soon discovered dozens of other pet owners who had similar
experiences with RimadylR.

Fueled by the growing number of people whose dogs had become
sick or died after taking the drug, Ms. Townsend, along with
other concerned pet owners, started a campaign to raise awareness
of the potential for serious side- effects with this and other
veterinary medicines.  As part of that campaign, Ms. Townsend
and others met with FDA officials as well as Pfizer veterinarians,
urging them to step-up efforts to more thoroughly inform pet
owners of the potential for serious side-effects with veterinary
medicines. Unsatisfied with the response of the FDA and Pfizer,
Ms. Townsend turned to the legal system and filed a class-action
lawsuit.

In her suit, Ms. Townsend sought reimbursement of the $734.00
in veterinary expenses she had incurred trying to save George,
as well as establishing a class action on behalf of the hundreds
of other dog owners whose pets had become ill or died.

In the meantime, reports of adverse reactions to Rimadyl
continued to rise, and in 1998, RimadylR accounted for
almost 39% of all Adverse Drug Experience Reports received
by the FDA.

The reports were so numerous that in December of 1999, the
FDA took the extraordinary step of issuing a public statement
on the drug.

Within months of Ms. Townsend's suit and the "Update on
RimadylR" issued by the FDA, Pfizer announced significant
changes in packaging, and that it would begin dispensing
a Client Information Sheet to be included with veterinary
prescriptions of RimadylR.

The Client Information Sheet, modeled after similar drug
information sheets included with many human drugs, was
to provide pet owners with easily understandable information
about the potential side-effects and what to do if side-effects
occur.

Ms. Townsend reports that as part of the settlement,Pfizer
made cash offers to over 300 other dog owners across the
country to settle claims for death or injury to the dog,
veterinary expenses, property damage, emotional distress
and punitive damages.

These individual offers averaged over $1000.00 per animal
and did not include a confidentiality provision. Speaking
about the lawsuit and the settlement, Ms. Townsend said,
"I am pleased that through this suit, hundreds of other
pet owners will be reimbursed for veterinary expenses and
the loss of their pets.

Of course, no amount of money would ever replace the loss
of my friend George,and the loss of so many other beloved
companions." But to Ms. Townsend, (who donated her settlement
proceeds to a local veterinarian to perform surgery on a pet
whose owners could not afford the surgery) the issue is far
more than the money paid by Pfizer.

It is the growing public awareness that the medications we
give our pets can have serious side-effects. "We, as pet
owners, have the right to know as much about the good and
bad sides of veterinary medicines as we do the medicines
we give ourselves."

THAT'S INSANE.

Hi Patricia:

Hang in there.  Maybe he'll be one of the lucky
ones and it will heal on its own.  One of my
friend's dog had a partial tear and her vet
recommended rest for a month and then a recheck.

At the recheck the dog was given full rein
to be her normal self.  So it does happen.

Our lab had a problem with a ligament in one of her
legs. The vet had us put listerne (sp) on it twice
a day. Took about two months but she is fine and
running like normal.  We did not have to keep her
quiet during this time either.

Max tore ligaments in his front paw this summer.
http://www.imdb.demon.co.uk/Max/say_Aaaa.jpg

After two weeks of short walks, the vet unexpectedly
gave him the all-clear when he was supposed to get
the bandage changed. I was told to keep his exercise
to a minimum for another week.

The affected 'toe' still sticks out compared to the other
foot, but other than that he's back to his old self.

Max didn't need surgery. He had an xray that showed he'd
torn ligaments between two toes. The vet said that only
rest and support would be needed. The vet suspected a
broken bone but the xray proved otherwise.

Just to share with you guys this sad news. Milo got
very excited the day of the snow storm, he ran like
a nut around and around. All of a sudden he went
chasing a cat and of course he didn't catch the cat,
however seems he got his back left knee hurt.

He was limping badly and yesterday we went to see the
vet. She said they have to do x-rays (ligaments??) on
Monday and then from there they would tell us if he
needs surgery. Ay.

And then the recovery is SIX MONTHS!! Milo goes to a
park 2 times a day, sometimes 3. He has changed into
a calm and very easy going puppy since we moved here
and go to this park. He also is in great shape, he
is all muscles, he can run fast and he can play soccer
pretty well.

What am I going to do? It is going to change our lives,
but we both need the exercise. He weighs 95 pounds and
is in excellent health, other than this.

The vet confirmed he doesn't have Mange, thank God.
Right now he is pushing my elbow with his head so I
go and be with him.

Please pray so he doesn't have to go to surgery.
Thanks for any advice on how to distract him inside.
I can always teach chess, but I don't like it very much.

Even when the answers are bad, I like ANSWERS.  Where my little

"sick" for the last 3 years and we've never been able to figure
out just what's going on with her.  I'm trying to not add up the
costs, as they just keep mounting.

Carey is an almost 12 year old tortie with numerous problems over
the 3 years, related to behavior, urinary issues, weight loss, and
early on, paralysis as well.  We've had tests out the wazoo, have
seen standard general practice vets as well as a neurologist, tried
various medications, and we still have no real answers.

I'm hoping those come soon, but the preliminary aren't great choices.

After raising her Elavil level to combat inappropriate urination, she
tore her ACL.  That appears to be healing slowly.  She's been at the
vet numerous times in the last few weeks

your LEFT KNEE will be tighter than your right. IF The Freakin

LEG and a few months later, on the right leg.

The EXXXPERS attribute the second knee failing due to
the dog bein "off balance" due to the CRIPPLING of the
other leg but WE KNOW THAT AIN'T TRUE or even probable.

NO. It may take YEARS of CONSTANT INTERMITTENT
LOW LEVEL STRESS like being told "NO!" a couple
times a day to break DHOWEN the system.

RIGHT. But the dog doesn't have an ACCIDENT to CRIPPLE him.
The crippling is a direct result of the body bein INCAPABLE

Google SHOWES 9,890 references to megaesophagus and stress.

Prognosis:
In most cases, the clinical signs stabilize between 6 months
and one year of age, and affected dogs may become acceptable
house pets, although they are not suitable for work.

Owners of affected dogs should be warned that stress,
including exposure to low temperatures, can result in a
dramatic worsening of clinical signs, even in clinically
stable adults. The life span of affected dogs does not appear
to be directly affected by the condition, although the
prognosis for dogs with megaesophagus should be more guarded,
due to the risk of developing inhalation pneumonia.

Subject: Emotional Component Of DIS-EASE - The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME

Death Producing Ulcers: "Emotional Influences
On Health & Behavior" Dr. George Von Hilsheimer

       Emotional Influences On Behavior

       Illness is directly related to depression and lack of
       adjustment, particularly to a new environment (Parens,
       McConville & Kaplan, 1966).

       A WIDE RANGE of PSYCHOSOMATIC or
       CORTICOVISCERAL DIS-EASES was surveyed
       by Wittkower (1965) to demonstrate the enormous
       importance of emotional factors in general health.

       Interview findings of emotional material (recently
       experienced hopelessness) pryor to biological
       examinations correctly identified 11 out of 19 with
       cervical cancer, and 25 of 32 who were cancer free
       even though psychological tests failed to discriminate
       these groups (Schmale & Iker, 1966)

       150 lung cancer patients showed significantly
       constricted expression of emotions. The had fewer
       childhood behavior problems, and lower neuroticism
       score than their cancer free controls. Heavy cigarette
       smokers who DO NOT INHALE are more apt to have LUNG
       CANCER. They, too, show LOWER neuroticism scores.
       Among heavy cigarette smokers poor emotional
       expression is as highly related to cancer as urban
       residence and is more important than a chronic cough
       or an air polluted environment (Kissen, 1966).

       A ten year observation of all the women who developed
       cancer in an isolated pupulation of 2,550 showed that
       they tended to be unstable or sub stable personalities
       characterized by melancholy and extraversion,
       especially marked with those of an undecided body
       build (Hagll, 1966). Personality dynamics effect both
       the development of cancer and it's SITE. Cancer
       may result from what appears to be a failure to grow--
       somatically, behaviorally and psychologically
       (Grinker, 1966).

       In 109 cases leukemia and lymphoma were associated
       with a number of losses or separations and with
       feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger or hopelessness.
       The PRIMARY FACTOR seems to be the shame and
       hopelessness of running out of psychological resources
       (Green, 1966). Cervical cancer patients are less
       emotionally responsive, more isolative, and less
       frequently diagnosed as having clinical neuroses than
       cancer free patients. There is NO CLEAR DIFFERENCE in
       their FEELINGS and ATTITUDES toward coitus (Rotkin,
       Qunk, & Couchman, 1965).

       Schmidt (1966) surveyed nearly 100 studies of
       behaviorally induced DIS-EASE in animals CONFIRMING
       and EXTENDING the DATA on PEOPLE. Behaviorally
       induced DIS-EASES tend to fall into two groups;
       (1) Hysteriform problems, which INCLUDE HYSTERICAL
       SEIZURES and FORMS of AGGRESSION as well as
       collective panic and epilepsies;
       (2) organic modifications, including functional
       difficulties and lesions affecting gastro intestinal,
       cardio vascular, respiratory, sexual, endocrine, skin,
       urinary, and neuro muscular systems.

       It is INTERESTING, and SLIGHTLY HORRIFYING,
       to note that the ONLY SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE of
       the standard six hour school day that I have been able
       to detect in research is that Sawrey and Weisz quite
       by accident found that six hours on and six hour off of
       "EXECUTIVE  BEHAVIOR" in monkeys was the ONLY
       TIME STRUCTURE that INDUCED DEATH PRODUCING

"There is a special application of NAET that addresses
the emotional component of allergy. Because emotions
can create energy blockages and therefore cause
imbalance, treating emotions as if they are allergens
can be accomplished with NAET.

By using MRT to identify emotional imbalances and
following the basic treatment protocol, it is possible
to address and resolve behavioral issues such as
inappropriate urination, antisocial behavior and

and adaptation to change such as grief or loss."

             =================

http://www.labbies.com/css.htm

Currently, other than rest, there is no generally accepted
medication which has been found to be effective for the
treatment of HMLR. Some individuals have, however,
responded to treatment with Diazepam or steroids.

How CSS Causes Seizures. Metabolic encephalopathy (ME) is
a disturbance of brain function resulting in neurologic
deficits and is caused by disorders of metabolism.

Accordingly, ME commonly occurs secondary to CSS because Ca
release channel defects have detrimental effects on the brain
and central nervous system.

The brain has limited stores of high-energy phosphates (ATP)
and glucose reserves that it requires to maintain neuronal
functionand cellular integrity. Therefore, the brain is dependent
upon glucose and oxygen supplied by blood flow for its energy
requirements.

Inability to maintain its own energy reserves makes the brain
extremely sensitive to metabolic disturbances that deplete
energy substrates from the blood.

Loss of calcium homeostasis plays a major role in the
development of neurologic dysfunction. Excessive release of
Ca as occurs in some dogs with CSS has effects including
but not limited to neurotransmitter release and acute energy
depletion.

In other dogs with CSS, persistent leakage of Ca creates a
continuous demand for energy. In either of these forms of CSS,
the increased demand for energy quickly or persistently
depletes the blood of energy substrates required by the brain.
One of the major energy requiring functions of the brain is to
maintain the resting membrane potential by the
sodium/potassium ion pump.

When the brain cannot get the energy it requires, the pump
fails and the membrane potential decays toward threshold
producing the neuron discharge responsible for seizures.

This explains why even mild stimuli such as eating
and fasting can result in seizures in the CSS-susceptible
dog. Fasting inhibits replacement of blood glucose depleted
by elevated energy demands in dogs with leaky Ca release.

Even mildly afflicted dogs that demonstrate low level Ca
leakage will have higher energy requirements.

Because eating induces insulin production that will require
glucose to balance the insulin levels, additional requirement
of glucose during eating will also further compromise a CSS-
susceptible dog whose glucose levels are already depleted
due to Ca leakage.

This condition of depleted blood glucose levels, which occurs
in conjunction with CSS, is known as hypoglycemia and may
be one of the principle causes for seizures in CSS dogs.

http://www.working-retriever.c om/library/myo.html

Preliminary biochemical data indicate significantly elevated
concentrations of sodium, calcium, zinc, copper, chloride,
fat, and intracellular water and reduced levels of potassium
and magnesium in muscles from affected adult Labrador
retrievers.

In addition, a significant decrease in muscle specific
proteins has been identified in the biceps femois muscle of
affected dogs.

Despite the presence of some apparently "neurogenic" features,
examination of the various parts of the lower motor neuron has
so far failed to identify morphological abnormalities.

The underlying pathophysiologial mechanisms involved
in this disease are, therefore, still unclear.

BUT NHOWE YOU KNOW HOWE COME... it's
The Puppy Wizard's SYNDROME, dog lovers.

for some dogs, and not at all for others. It works
by increasing the amount of synovial fluid in a joint.

That can be helpful to some dogs on arthritis, but it
doesn't work as an antiinflammatory agent at ALL, nor
really as a pain reliever. The pain relief is a secondary
outcome.

As an NSAID, rimadyl not only reduces pain, but it
reduces inflammation. For my dog with Wobblers, this
is an extremely important affect. Reduced inflammation
in the spinal column also reduces the tendency of the
ligaments and tendons to thicken and swell around the
affected area, which means that the spinal cord is less
compressed, which means that my bitch gets to live longer.
