  1. Golden Retrievers Main Discussion
    Our five-month old golden puppy snatched another puppy’s ball in the park and it promptly disappeared down his throat. The other dog’s owner sent me a link to the ball on Amazon, and now I want all dog owners to know how dangerous these balls are. The vets at the Veterinary Emergency Group...

    Hey guys. I don't have a golden retriever but I have a 10 month old toy pom and her middle toe had to get amputated on her back foot. Her surgery was almost a week ago so she is still all bandaged up. Does anyone have any experience?? Will her life be different? Will she struggle ? Will she limp...

    Hi there, My 1 year 7 month old golden retriever male is going for surgery for his second bowel obstruction. His first one was a rock from outside. Since then we have been so very careful about what he has access to and yet here we are facing another surgery. This doesn’t seem sustainable...

    Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone can help guide me in the right direction or can offer a similar experience with their Golden's lipoma removal. My Dakota is 1 month shy of her ninth birthday. We noticed a large bump near her abdomen last year, but could not really tell if it was her ribs or a...

    Hi all just wondered if anyone can share their experiences of what to expect following TPLO cruciate surgery. My boy is 5 days post op and is still very reluctant to move or even go out to urinate etc. He is on mild sedatives at the moment. When can I expect him to feel a bit more like himself...

    Hi Everyone, Our sweet boy had to have emergency surgery a little over a week ago to remove a corn cob from his small intensities. He seems to be on the mend, but today we noticed some dry blood on the seam of his incision. Can anyone tell us if this is a normal part of the healing process...

    Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I was hoping to get more clarity on my current situation with our boy Charlie. I got Charlie at 8 weeks old and noticed he had a bit of a funny walk. We assumed nothing was seriously wrong as he had been seen by vets for vaccinations who didn’t...

    There was a time when I was on this Forum looking for options and answers as I discovered that my dog had Elbow Dysplasia. There is a lot of good information on the other threads about this topic but I noticed there are not a lot of positive stories and that is not what you are looking for when...

    Hello, This is the first time I am posting here, so please excuse me if I am not in the right place. My poor 7 month old pup just got diagnosed with shoulder osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). From everything I have read all over the internet, surgery seems like the right route, and we have a...

    Eleanor got spayed on Tuesday and I've had an awful time finding a way to get her to stop licking her incision. I've tried 3 different cone collars and one of the inflatable one's that is supposed to stop her from moving her neck but her face is too long and the bigger one's won't fit her neck...
  12. Cancer Information for Golden Retrievers
    My 10 year old Chance is having a tumor removed on Tuesday. He's prone to cysts and he also has 2 lipomas. It's a routine check we see the vet for quite often. Unfortunately, this newest one on his upper chest has to come out. Our primary care vet recommended the surgery be done at the...

    My golden retriever, Roxanne, started gagging uncontrollably. I took her to an emergency vet and they thought she got a bitter poison in her mouth. She hasn't been around it at all and they said her gagging should stop. The gagging did not stop and her frantically eating grass was worrisome so...

    Hello everyone! Just last night I dropped off one of my puggles (Antonia) to get spayed. That got me thinking about Maci getting spayed. Our vet had mentioned something about waiting a little bit longer to get them spayed may decrease the risk in some diseases as apparently some tests are being...

    I am very worried about Duke. He is 2 years old and started throwing up bile on Saturday morning. I gave him pepcid and slowly added his food back and he seemed fine. Sunday morning he woke me up throwing up bile and sticks. We went to ER Vet. She took xrays and said there was no obvious...

    Good afternoon, I'm writing because my partner and I learned last week that our Buddy has a pre-frontal meningioma. We are told it is the size of a large grape and I believe the vet mentioned it was near his olfactory lobe. It is operable. He was perfectly fine and normal, at a puppy-like 9...

    Hi! My 8 month old golden, Cliff, is three weeks post surgery after a double arthroscopy for elbow dysplasia. He had fragmented coronoid processes, pieces of bone broken off and grinding on his joints. Before the surgery he was lame often, had an awful snapping noise each time he stood up and...
