  1. Thanks! He's been totally communicative today, it was just a typo in his email address. Records have been sent and hopefully he can help. Appreciate you reaching out!
  2. So I emailed him in case it was her email and mine went through and he responded this morning. So I don't know what happened on her end, but at least there's been contact and she can have her vet flow the instructions and communicate with him directly! Thanks all!
  3. That's the email address she used. It's bouncing.
  4. Hi all, a friend's greyhound is hospitalized with a bleeding disorder and right now the outcome is uncertain. Her vets are willing to consult with Dr. Couto, but the email address is bouncing and the VM has a generic message (we've tried the info from this site : https://www.coutovetconsultants.com/). Does anyone have more recent contact info or know if he's available? Thanks, Jen
  5. I couldn't find a thread on here about Feather. She's part of the Mutts Gone Nuts team and holds the world record for highest dog jump at 6'2"!! I met her today, though I had no idea she was a superstar, I just wanted to cuddle a greyhound. And she was a TOTAL sweetheart! Photo and link to her jump here: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid058ta2HipoU52mXG3n8zj9mhGe3ymTvskuJJf5TReqXo2YjaqLEjibH1YrRaPX797l&id=100083125430928&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f
  6. I know how difficult this is having faced this with all 3 of my greyhounds so I say this with the utmost compassion - excessive sleeping is often a way for dogs to avoid pain. Only you know your dog and your comfort level best, but I would consider that between your observations of his comfort level, the sleeping, and the lack of eating, his pain is no longer well managed. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Osteo is a horrible disease.
  7. Glad to hear the medication is helping! For future training once the meds have fully kicked in I recommend an SA Pro certified trainer: https://www.subthresholdtraining.com/find-a-trainer/ SA training can all be done virtually so if there isn't someone close to you, a close friend and former coworker is certified and has a virtual training package: https://www.behaviorunited.com/ I strongly recommend working with her or someone else with that certification. I'm a professional trainer and behavior counselor and I worked with her with my own dog when her SA returned after we had to let my greyhound go and found it incredibly helpful. Some of the traditional training methods for SA aren't quite up to date with current research, but this program is and frankly, the emotional support you'll get from having a knowledgeable coach can be huge since SA is so difficult to deal with. I hope this helps. Good luck!
  8. My experience is they don't cover supplements, or anything related to behavior (they don't cover Skye's Reconcile for instance even though it's Rx). You could go deep down the rabbit hole of cancer supplements but I think the mushroom and immunity supplements are a good choice. Curious why the CBD?
  9. I can't believe there's no thread yet. Who's going? I'll be there Thursday-Monday, staying at Seneca Lodge as usual. This will be my first year with no dogs since I don't have greyhounds anymore and Skye would not enjoy it. I'm definitely having some feelings about it, but still looking forward to the trip.
  10. Have been checking for an update here and in the ABT all day. Yay for progress!
  11. The last I heard the theory was a lot of the adverse side effects were due to counterfeit products. I'll keep watching for new info, but we use Seresto and knock on wood, haven't had any issues.
