Listed below are some veterinarian and medical sites which I found to be both interesting and informative. Many of the larger breeds share some of the same problems, so we've included sites of those breeds with pertinent information. In visiting these sites, you may expand your knowledge of particular problems, and should the need arise, at least then you may be more familiar with some procedures to follow which have worked for others.
The most important procedure of all, is to get your Rottie PROMPT medical attention. Nothing posted herein is by ANY means meant to take the place of proper medical treatment by a QUALIFIED veterinarian.
