Sick dog

Poor Doodle! So glad he's feeling better. Debarking should be outlawed. That's just horrible.

Deb- is there some mild laproscopic surgery for Doodle that could ease the cough and other symptoms? It sounds like he has some extra laryngeal tissue flapping around in there. We do it for people, it must be available for pups.
Such and insult, this debarking thing.

It disgusts me the sorts of things people do to pets for their own convenience. Just as disgusting are vets who will do such procedures. Seems unethical, at the very least.

Glad Doodle is doing better. He sounds like such a sweet guy. How lucky that he has people to treat him like family, now.

it boggles my mind that there are veterinarians out there who do those things just for money. Any vet with an ounce of compassion or morals will refuse to debark a dog or declaw a cat.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear that Doodles is doing better. I once knew a sheltie that was used as a stud and also debarked. Awful.

We had a vet who had the audacity to tell us that if we CARED ABOUT OUR FURNITURE we'd declaw our cats...WTF, seriously?! We never went back.
