It shouldn’t unless dog had underlying kidney or liver issues. Dose for 65# dog would be 130mg. A lot would go 1 1/4 tabs but many vets will round up. How old is dog and had there been any previous bloodwork.

GPS makes some solid range bags and backpacks.

Eberlestock makes good stuff also.

Scrantz did mine. C5-c7 fusion. Also did my wife’s lower back. Both went well. No issues.

Diarrhea in dogs can happen for numerous reasons. Probably most commonly dietary indiscretion or even stress can lead to colitis. The blood isn’t that big of a deal, colon is very vascular and when it’s irritated it bleeds. If still eating and drinking you should be fine to see if self corrects. If at any point stops eating or begins to vomit then I would take In. Also as to parasites, if your on monthly heartworm prevention, that also prevents intestinal parasites so they would be less likely. Most vets would let you drop off a fecal sample.

Both those quotes seem high. If the dog is still active then I’d recommend fixing it. Lateral sutures can work in big dogs but tplo has less chance of breaking down. Much greater recovery with tplo though. If you don’t want surgery you can brace leg. Google canine knee braces. I’ve done these in a few instances where surgery wasn’t an option and was pleased with result.

Not spoiled it just smells bad. Much like regular goat meat. Damn near couldn’t get the smell out of the wood handle on my skinning knife. Only use the disposable blade skinners now.

Swimming. Less stress on joints helps maintain muscle mass. Don’t give aspirin. Get a prescription nsaid assuming your pup has good liver and kidney function.

Look at Garmin inReach mini. Can Bluetooth connect to phone with Earthmate app. Basically makes your phone a satellite messenger and gps. Nice when you have no service to be able to stay in touch.

You have made this way to complicated. Pro-sal forms of compensation are easily the best situation for both associate vets and owners. It’s win win. If you produce you get paid what you deserve if you don’t then owner doesn’t get killed with some high salary you can’t justify.

I started with a flat salary and it sucked. My production well exceeded my salary so owners made money off of me. No bonus. Just increased my salary for the next year. It was frustrating.

No when doing Pro-sal it works best to just pick a flat percentage then breaking up food, medications, professional services. 22% services and 5% inventory items works out to about same a 18% on everything. I pay Associates a pro-sal style at 20%. You also have to consider your full compensation package is CE, vacation, malpractice, insurance, dea license, avma fees etc. adds up.

You do pro-sal at 20%, have base 100k, produce 600k then you get 120k total. That’s pretty standard.

Did your vet perform any bloodwork? Only way to tell extent of damage. Sago palms cause severe damage to liver and can lead to acute liver failure. Repeating bloodwork is only way to monitor response to treatment. I personally would not recommend steroids as they can't be contraindicated if the liver is compromised. Aggressive IV fluids, antibiotics, anti-emetics, liver supplements, and time is the best bet. Your liver is one of the most regenerative organs in the body. It can take a hit and recover but takes time.
