Okay, I had a message from the vet today regarding the cells she aspirated. She said that she could not see anything obvious so she sent the slides out to a pathologist. There were not many cells on the slide but what the pathologist saw was Neutrofilic Hystiocydic Inflammation (I am sure this is not spelled correctly but I tried spelling it the way it sounded) which are inflammatory cells. They said that this type of inflammation is non-specific and usually associated with non-infectious diseases such as a foreign body penetration in the area, trauma or neoplasia (cancer). The vets recommendation is to put Animax Ointment on it 2-3 times a day, for the next 10-14 days and if it has not gone away then remove it completely and biopsy.

So, again we wait.............

Does any of this mean anything to anyone?

Thanks!

This was the same thing my vet said about Carmen when I took her. The spot actually dried up and went away after about a week of putting ointment on it. The ointment we got was actually a liquid but was and antibiotic, wish I could remember the name. It has never returned. Good luck and let us know how the ointment is working.

My one year old lab, Blu received his bordatella vaccine last week and starting this hacking cough yesterday. I am so tired... we have been up since 3am. He is still eating, not with the gusto he usually has but is still eating. I have given him some vit. C and some dismutase (natural meds) to help. I will be taking him into the vet today and hopefully get some cough suppressant. Poor thing, he just looks at me with these big sad eyes...

Here is a picture of Blu from a few weeks ago, he is a really silly dog. He is a year old and weighs 99.6 pounds. I had him vaccinated because he is boarded occasionally.

Anyway, I pretty much know the routine... it will run its course and I will be disinfecting like crazy so none of the others catch it. I'm just whining about it... :blush

Well then by all means give Jacob kisses too. But then we can't leave out Hunter, however he will probably be asleep on the couch and won't even notice the kisses on his tummy

That looks a lot like the one Carmen had. The vet gave me some liquid medicine and it went away in about a week. Give Mystery kisses for me and Carmen

Cerenia is another good antiemetic.

Your vet is correct. The clotting issue is due to the dehydration and had nothing to do with her kidney problem. Rehydrate her for a good 24 hours and then try again. The hydration will also be beneficial for her kidneys.

I just bought a Dremel 10.8V cordless. It has multiple speeds and I have a few different sand paper barrels. My question is what speed and which barrel should I be using. I just spent about 15 minutes on speed 1.5 on Isis and feel like I could have done better and faster with clippers. Anyone have suggestions?

I did a search and read thru a few responses but most of them are for "minimites" and they are just hi and low speeds. I briefly looked at the dobedawn site but I will read it more thoroughly here in a bit.

Thanks!
