[Lymphangiectasia]

Did you have liver function tests done? Not the regular liver enzymes in the normal chem panel. You have to ask for these separate. You're supposed to get two samples, fasting then one immediately after eating.

 

I was told that Topaz had an intestinal disease too. She had a protein losing enteropathy.

 

Turned out her liver was shot. Her liver function test were off the charts.

 

She was five when she went to the Bridge.

 

 

Good luck.

[Need A Poem]

This was sent to me. Short and sweet:

 

 

 

Farewell Master yet not farewell.

Where I go, ye too shall dwell

I am gone before your face

A moment's time

A little space

When ye come where I have stepped

Ye will wonder why ye wept.

 

 

 

 

 

[How Much Pepcid?]

My little 58 lb Onyx just had a laryngeal tieback and to keep her from ever having regurgitation, she's on the 20 mg. size once a day.

So, I would say for just an upset tummy the 10 would work, but he could easily handle the 20.

 

 

 

 

[Is This True?]

He's doing "a bit" better? And he's loaded with pain meds?

 

Get thee to a vet. He can put weight on a hairline fracture or a bone chip.

[Tiffany Express]

Farewell Master yet not farewell.

Where I went, ye too shall dwell.

I am gone before your face

A moment's time, a little space.

When ye come where I have stepped,

Ye will wonder why ye wept.

 

 

 

[Curiousity About Typical Grey Lifespan]

Topaz died at 5 from liver disease.

Brindle died at 8 from hemangiosarcoma.

Pearl who is still with me has severe heart disease. She's 9.

Her sister Diamond is healthy at 9 and my old lady

Onyx is my first double digit girl at 11.

 

I used to babysit Domino, he died at 7 from autoimmune problems

another boy I was fond of died at 8 from osteo.

A little girl Ruby convulsed and died at 5.

Topaz's half brother died at 4.

 

Even my own vet states that a greyhound's lifespan is 8. Not 12-14 as stated by adoption groups.
