Hi DizzyLu and Jacob!
We're in south Mandarin, and have 3 greyhounds, Mimi, Mimosa,and Bam Bam, all adopted thru GAP here in Jax. Actually Mimi and Bam Bam used to race for Mama Caffie. I saw their pictures on Greytalk, and the rest is history! There are also 2 other greyhounds in my neighborhood, Gordy and Odie (owned by different families).
We hope to get together with the group at Mickler's Landing soon too. I work every other weekend, so it's sometimes hard to get to them.

Ryan
in Remembrance
Haven't been on GT in awhile and my heart sunk when I saw Ryan on the banner. I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful boy. Run Free Ryan.

She'll be fine! But we will keep her in our thoughts and prayers for an easy time.
Ask them to go light on the gas. It helps.
Her vet is definitely grey-savvy. They do all the dentals/spay/neuters for the retired racers adoptions, and one of the vets there is the track vet.

Mimosa seemed to have gotten the worst teeth of my 3 hounds. Mimi is probably going to need to have hers done pretty soon, the vet said they are still pretty good, but Mimosa needs hers done every year. She's going to be 6 this month. I know everything will go fine, but it's still surgery.
Please say a prayer for her tomorrow (Friday) morning.
Thanks!

OK Smiley, study hard for your test! Fingers crossed for a negative!!

It looks like Mimi has one too. We're trying Bee Propolis, as suggested by Dione, and covering it with a bandaid. She's figured out how to tripod walk on hard surfaces, and does fine on 4 legs on carpet and grass. She's limiting her walks herself. I just found some "pet boot's that I had squirreled away that someone sent me. I put one of those on her with a paper towel stuffed in it for cushioning. we'll see how that goes.
-
don't suppose you want to smack dh up side the head?
YEP!!!
Bandage is off. I'll have to get something for it after work. I might try Bee Propolis that Dione suggested to me.
-
If you remove it, can you put a sock over it?
I don't know if that will help. The purpose of the bandage is to cushion the foot so she can walk on it.
-
Remove the wet one and rewrap it with dry.
I cannot rewrap it. If I remove it she will not have one.
-
Mimi has a bandage on her foot. It's wrapped in cotton and vet wrap. She has an injury to her pad which may be a corn. My dh didn't listen when I told him he has to wrap it in plastic if it's raining and he just took her out and it got wet. Not soaked but it's wet. Should I remove the bandage or wait and see if it dries out?
-
what does a corn look/feel like? Is it easy to find? Mimi started limping today and biting at her back foot, then later she started holding the foot up. I looked, but couldn't find anything, except a discolored part on one of her toe pads.
-
She has been doing so well, but threw up again today for the first time in about 5 days. She had just eaten.
Can I give her sub-q of lactated ringers? Thank you.
Yes, I would still give it to her. Hope she feels better soon.

My dad and my friend helped us out and I just got home from taking Lola to Rudy's vet in Jacksonville. The practice doctors are the track vets, so they are very greyhound savvy. She is on IV fluids and meds and we will bring her home tonight. They will show me how to administer the bags through a needle in her leg. (Julie I may have to call you again...lol.) We should have taken her here to start with but it's quite a distance from home plus our old vet has been so good to Lola through the years (her dog attack, eye surgery, etc.) We should know more later today. Thank you everyone for your support.
That's who I go to and they are very good. Dr. Nash owns the practice and the other doctors are Dr McMillian and Dr Neihaus.
Hope she gets well soon!
Edited because I saw your post on FB!

Study hard for your test so you can pass, Smiley

My vet sent a letter recommending the Canine Flu shot. It's a 2 series shot. They are requiring it for all dogs who board there (which we don't). My vet has been pretty conservative with vaccinations. They did not recommend the "dental vaccine" that my last vet was pushing..
I took Bammy in last week for his annuals, and got it for him. The girls are due for their shots (except for rabies, they got the 3 year variety), and I will probably get it for them, since we will be going to GAP Day in a couple of weeks and will be around hundreds of greys.
One of the nurses I work with is also part-owner in a veterinary practice, and she said they are NOT recommending the vaccine, as there are very few incidences in the US and so far none here in town.
Thoughts?

I don't post on here much, I am on Facebook (Camille Wagner) more, and am friends with a lot of you there. I can't post on there right now because my kids don't know the bad news yet. We will tell them tonight.
Mimosa is my first grey, adopted in 2006. She is my heart dog and will be 10 on February 23rd.
She started limping a couple of weeks ago. Took her to the vet today and she was x-rayed and my fears were confirmed. Osteosarcoma in the left femur. (Not a definitive diagnosis, she would need a biopsy for that). I am heartbroken. I won't put her thru amputation and chemo.
We are home now, with Rimadyl and Tramadol to keep her as comfortable as possible until it is time.
My heart is shattered.
