Re: gsp seizures... help!!!

this may have nothing to do with your dogs seizures but may be something to be aware of. my parents live out in the country and their yard has maybe 150 trees on it and maybe 1/5 of those being walnut trees. we used to have the scariest lookin mut that we got as a stray, he was a black lab chow mix,...

He fractured his left hip and had some major road rash. we went to several vets and 3 recommended bed rest and one said surgery. How...
