Just returned from the vet's office. Thought that 'Dale' had a prostate problem as he was exhibiting urinary tract problems. Prostate is fine, no stones in bladder, but an X ray indicates seriously thickened bladder wall. Possible bladder infection or malignancy. Sent blood and urine off for analysis and started him on Amoxicillin. Vet is concerned - so am I.

It does sound concerning indeed. How old is Dale?

Sorry Dan is not well sure hope he pulls through

Are your kennels and dog houses well heated?

If not it might be better to take him inside your house for the duration of treatment to make sure he is warm.

He will be 8 in March and has always been a strong/healthy dog. He has been used at stud to some degree and is producing really good pups. From the first 9 b*tches bred, 7 have made their championships, 4 are seeking points, and others have places. He's a really nice animal, and I am hoping for the best. Other than the frequent urination I would never have thought that he had a problem.

Hopefully it is just an infection that will respond to the treatment and you caught it rather early.

Come on Dan, hurry up and get better!

Fingers crossed that is is the lesser of the two illnesses for Dale. He sounds like a really nice dog.

Good luck with Dale, Sour. How long before you get the blood work and urinalysis back?
