Thanks, I appreciate the response. The only part I got hung up on was that the textbook explanation she sent me was edited and excluded the part about how it could have been potentially stopped by a free radical scavenger. I guess I wanted to be able to ask if that was considered or should have been, or maybe it wasn’t because of some other reason.
Hey, thank you for the response. I appreciate your insight and. I definitely want to talk to the surgeon again, I guess I got hung up on the f at that the textbook quote she sent me was edited. She excluded the sentences about how it could potentially be stopped with free radical scavengers and then changed a sentence to say lethal where the textbook actually talked about the condition being blunted.
Wasn’t sure how to appropriately ask if those were things that were considered or should have been considered.
My dog used to resource guard pretty bad - we would always trade him. If he had a chew and it was time to given it up, offer him something different in exchange. Reward him when he grabs the new item you give him.
If it’s a food bowl, trade him a treat for the bowl. We used to use the “find it” game by throwing treats and he would run for those and then we could grab the item we wanted.
Thank you for the kind words. We are still in so much pain from his loss. We did not expect to lose him during this surgery, especially at just 2 years old. I have to tell myself that we did the right thing and gave him the best year of life that any dog could ever possibly ask for.
One of my dogs has an injured leg right now. Wish he would let me out him in a wagon and pull him around while he can’t go on walks.
