The Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) is a robust sheepdog with roots in Tibet. In fact, it is said that the heavy fur which covers the eyes of this sheepdog is a natural adaptation to the glaring sunlight of the region. Nomadic tribes traveled with the ancestors of Polish Lowland Sheepdogs during their migration to European countries and the breed became established among the local population. Polish Lowland Sheepdogs developed a reputation for hard work, loyalty and strong herding instincts. The breed's herding instincts have survived for centuries and even today, they still need a job and will attempt to herd their human families in the absence of sheep. Polish Lowland Sheepdog (PON) lovers will appreciate reading the PON Digest online publication to learn more about this beloved breed.

Playing it safe with anesthesia
When your PON is scheduled for a tooth cleaning or any other surgical procedure which requires anesthesia, it is of utmost importance that food is withheld at least twelve hours prior to surgery. Not only will this prevent your PON from vomiting and inhaling stomach contents during surgery, but it will also reduce nausea as your PON regains consciousness. This advice is vital for the well being of your PON and needs the co-operation of all family members. Please click on the link for the complete article: https://pondigest.tripod.com/anesthesia.html

The Yin and Yang of the PON Digestive System
or
Striving towards a well balanced Healthy PON digestive system
| The concepts of Yin and Yang contributed to the Chinese
scientific system, particularly in fields like biology and medicine The
organs of the body were seen to be interrelated in the same kinds of
ways as other natural phenomena, and most understood by searching for
cause and effect. Illness was seen as a disturbance in the balance of
Yin and Yang caused by emotions, heat or cold, or other
influences. Therapy thus depended on accurate diagnosis of the source of
the imbalance.
PON owners can readily apply Yin and Yang to their management of PON nutrition and ultimately to solving digestive issues. Please click on the link for the complete article: https://pondigest.tripod.com/ponyin.html

How to Give Canine CPR
by Lori S. Mohr (First Aid For Dogs - Tim Hawcroft)
CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is the process of breathing life back
into an unconscious human. A similar technique can also work effectively on
dogs.
The signs that indicate the need for CPR include unconsciousness, lack of
arousal, lack of physical movement, or eye blinking. These symptoms can occur
from drowning, choking, electrical shock, or a number of other situations.
The key to canine CPR is remembering the ABCs:

When Your Pon has fatty tumors
Occasionally, PON owners will post to Yahoogroups about bumps or fatty tumors they have come across while grooming their PONS and inquire if this is common in the breed. The answer is not uncomplicated, but studies indicate that overweight dogs are more susceptible to fatty tumors called lipomas. These lipomas have the consistency of a baggy filled with water and may be found all over a PON's body. For newbie owners this is scary and may result in a quick visit to the vet Please click the link for the complete article: |
