Hi guys. Its really winedope, not winedope1 as a new member. My email changed and I couldn't remember my password so I couldn't retrieve my password Etc., hence the new name. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS BUCKO!!! I applaud your actions and you've picked a great breed! Once her health problems are straightened out, you may want to think about putting her directly onto adult food, of course under the ok of your veterinarian. These dogs grow quickly, and to avoid some developmental orthopedic problems, you will probably want to change her diet sooner than that of some smaller breeds. What did they call her aberrant vessel condition, not a PDA, was it? Also to all, I know a lot of this is in humor, but the majority of us in the veterinary profession work really hard, for fairly low pay. I work with a doctor in a strictly surgical practice, and our average work week runs 60-70 hours, plus after hour phone calls, etc. I do my work because I do love animals and I am pretty darned good at it ( ought to be after 20 years!). If most of us were in it for the money, we wouldn't be in it ! I'm sure there are a number of other professions like this. At least I hope so. : ) WD PS- Bucko- please keep us updated on the little girl's progress. What are you calling her, besides expensive!?
