To Gardener Boy & All...A Cure for Curing...
Comments (32)Daisy, Thanks for the link; that's good info. To all: Well, I might have barbequed crow soon! I'll be eating crow, or taking my foot out of my mouth, or whatever the proper expression should be! While asking around here about cement types I came to realize that I have had them backwards. We use type 2 most commonly and type 5 is used for special requests, usually desert type areas overseas, i.e., Middle East. So, I'll admit my mistake and take the consequences but I couldn't leave you all with the wrong info. (Its not likely that you are terribly concerned about pipe linings. It is the use of cement types and their purposes and curing them that got us into this discussion.) You all have been so generous to give information and tips to everyone who asks. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving bad info in this forum that might one day mislead someone....See MoreWeight Loss Diets can be causes for obesity?

Comments (4)Obesity, especially in an English Bulldog, definitely adds some risk to anesthesia. The extra fat compresses the chest which doesn't generally inflate very well under anesthesia anyway. Plus English Bulldogs in general have a cluster of respiratory problems that can cause issues especially after anesthesia. That said, any good vet knows the risks and can take easy steps to minimize the risks, assuming the vet has good monitoring for all procedures (pulseOx, EtCO2, RR, HR, temp, and great techs). I've definitely gotten many an English Bulldog through anesthesia procedures and I'd say 99% of them are fat. I don't think people know what they are supposed to look like. But paying attention to the patient at all times until the dog is completely awake definitely gets them through safely....See MoreCovid and obesity
Comments (32)Chi, I just wrote a long reply and I accidentally deleted it when I went to make a small addition. Aaargh. Of course there can be complicated reasons why a person eats too much. He or she could be using food as a source of comfort or entertainment (that's me,) and addressing the root cause of what the problem is necessary in order to get better. The consequences of even a small amount of extra weight on our joints as we age, for example, can have so much effect on how we age, our ability to keep moving, exercise and stay fit, that it is imperative to be vigilant. There are very successful medical interventions to help people shed weight, gastric band surgery, for one (truthfully, only one I know, though I am hearing of some new medicine.) A friend of mine had this procedure and she is thrilled three years out from surgery. There was support to help her keep the pounds off too. Another friend dropped 20 pounds simply by going to therapy. She said she lost both physical and psychological weight. Between regular medical care, bariatric medical care, psychological help, 12 step programs, programs like WW, people may have to try a lot of modalities for getting bettter....See Moreeddym
