Chien d'Or has added several new features to our website. Most importantly is the Golden Community. Here you can join and interact with other golden dog owners. You can share photos and videos of your dog, create and find dog events, and much more!
Chien d'Or has added the Golden Dog Blog! This will contain important news from Chien d'Or and Gabriels Ark Kennel. Information such as availability of puppies, "bad" dog foods to avoid, and up-to-date info on health. Feel free to ask any questions!!
The Latest News...
Welcome to my new "updated" website. I have created this for my future and past customers in order that they would be able to communicate with me and other people who have purchased my dogs.
For some time I have wanted a way to communicate with everyone about things like "bad" dog foods, up-to-date info on health or anything that I feel you might like to know. Hopefully this will help and it will also offer you an opportunity to communicate with others who have purchased puppies from me. An example would be if you wanted to get all the puppies from the same litter together and have a reunion...or the same mother...like Bonnie who just turned 15 in November.
I will be posting updates from time to time so please take time to read this. If you have any questions let me know...as always, if you need to talk to me please email me directly at gabrielsark@aol.com or call me at 248 626 2243..
Thanks! Micki

Vaccination And AnesthesiaPosted by Webmaster in Untagged |
|
Many vets demand that pets are up to date on vaccinations before visiting their clinic. That may or may not be a good decision. What is definitely not a good decision is to have the pet vaccinated while he is in the clinic for an illness – especially if the pet is being anesthetized for surgery.In the late 1980′s wild dogs were captured and vaccinated for rabies in the Serengeti-Mara. Interestingly, the dogs who were researched and handled developed rabies while the dogs who were not handled and not vaccinated did not. It is unlikely that the rabies vaccine itself produced the disease as the rabies vaccine is deactivated. Some researches soon suspected a connection – the dogs vaccinated for rabies were anesthetized for their vaccine.
Felsburg et al. (1986) showed that anesthetizing domestic dogs with methoxyflurane had a marked effect upon their lymphocyte function. Clinical work on humans has suggested that anaesthesia with ketamine (one of the immobilizing agents used on the Serengeti wild dogs) can depress the immune response to rabies infection and cause death (Fescharek et al. 1994)
Anaesthetics have a short-term effect upon the immune system: experimental work has shown that domestic dogs regain their full immune capacity within 1-4 days of anaesthesia (Felsburg et al. 1986).
Shin Kurosawa and Masato Kato state in their article,Anesthetics, immune cells, and immune responses, published in the Journal Of Anesthesia:
“General anesthesia accompanied by surgical stress is considered to suppress immunity, presumably by directly affecting the immune system or activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. Along with stress such as surgery, blood transfusion, hypothermia, hyperglycemia, and postoperative pain, anesthetics per se are associated with suppressed immunity during perioperative periods because every anesthetic has direct suppressive effects on cellular and neurohumoral immunity through influencing the functions of immunocompetent cells and inflammatory mediator gene expression and secretion.”
“Particularly in cancer patients, immunosuppression attributable to anesthetics, such as the dysfunction of natural killer cells and lymphocytes, may accelerate the growth and metastases of residual malignant cells, thereby worsening prognoses.”
Dr. Patricia Jordan has seen results similar to those of the wild dogs. ”I have seen this happen, where two year old cats that were barbarically declawed and vaccinated both with rabies and a new Fort Dodge vaccine, a mumbo jumbo with the new hot street virus strain of Calicivirus. The cats were put through the Ketamine then isoflurane regime of anesthesia. They were vaccinated while sedated and come on there is hardly a more brutal surgery for a cat that a declaw.”
“The cats woke up but not well, were discharged and then represented for sickness, so sick they were with Calicivirus that their noses sloughed off! They also had infected an older cat that was at home. ALl of them became infected with the new strain of Calicivirus that the Fort Dodge company had just put into their vaccines.”
“What the immunosupression did was allow that virus to express in the face of the cats that were immunosupressed by both surgical stress and anesthesia.”
“I have also heard of some far out responses with behavioral changes following anesthesia for animals like one little Chuihuahua who guarded the kitchen and would not allow anyone into that room for 48 hours.” The Natural News recently released an article exploring anesthesia and brain damage in children.
Sometimes sedation and surgery are valid choices for our pets’ health. Routine sedation for procedures like hip and elbow clearances for breeding dogs or for dental procedures should be examined on a risk/benefit basis. Based on this research it is safe to assume that anesthetized animals should not undergo vaccination for at least four days following sedation. We have given you plenty of reasons why dogs do not need to be repeatedly vaccinated but if you and your vet feel that your dog must be revaccinated, make certain he is up to date on his shots before you take him in for surgery or sedation.

Caution with Douxo Seborrhea ShampooPosted by Webmaster in Untagged |
|
The FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine is alerting pet owners to use caution with the use of an unapproved animal drug product, Douxo Seborrhea Shampoo (0.1% phytosphingosine), distributed by Sogeval Laboratories, Inc. of Coppell, Texas after recently receiving a report of the death of a woman associated with the use of the product on her dog.
The March adverse event report describes a woman with severe, preexisting asthma who had a sudden, severe asthma attack and died while bathing a dog using the product, Douxo Seborrhea Shampoo. A few days later, another asthmatic family member bathed the dog using the same product and experienced a mild asthma attack but recovered.
FDA is advising consumers with asthma or other respiratory conditions to consider consulting with their physicians prior to use of this product.
FDA is currently investigating this serious issue and will provide additional information as appropriate.
To report an adverse event involving the use of animal drug product, please go to:

Study Links ProMeris to Pemphigus Foliaceus; Pfizer Stopping Its ProductionPosted by Webmaster in Untagged |
|
By Jessica Tremayne
Contributing Editor
A recent groundbreaking study of clinical, histological and immunological data of 22 cases of Pemphigus foliaceus, or PF, shows evidence that it can occur as an adverse drug reaction to the canine flea and tick preventive ProMeris.
PF is the most common spontaneously occurring autoimmune skin disease of dogs and typically displays as lesions on the face, nasal planum and ears. The reaction is rare but serious, says the study’s lead author, Thierry Olivry, DrVet, PhD, Dipl. ACVD, of North Carolina State University.
