Thank you very much for your kind wo...Dear Margaret<br />Thank you very much for your kind words. We actually do use the miniature O2 saturation monitor here in the CCF vet clinic for monitoring our dogs and cheetahs whilst under anaesthetic. It is certainly a very important piece of equipment. I do hope to be able to acquire one which we can take with us on our dog trips. <br />The tongue cancer in our dogs is something we are currently investigating and hoping to ascertain how and why it manifests itself. I have also come across mongrel dogs who have the cancer too, which suggests the environmental component, being as Namibia has a very high sun index and the dogs pant a lot during the heat of the day. <br />I'm glad that you find our CCF posts educational. I certainly learn something new on a daily basis working here!

Do you us...Thank you for a well-written post, Anja. Do you use/have access to the battery-operated miniature O2 sat monitors? I use them with my (human) patients, and wonder if they can be used on the dogs as well.<br />I had no idea that the Anatolians were susceptible to tongue cancer. Every time I read CCF posts I learn something! Thanks again for a well-written, educational post.Margaret Wilkienoreply@blogger.com
