yes I use the yogurt too but then the gas at times does escape. Mine sometimes does bring tears to my eyes.

just in from Susan Hi Beryl, As I have said in the literature and from some of the dogs we have already seen, if the corn is discovered early on, hulling should not be needed if treated with the cream. The dog in the story had relief in 10 days and it has not come back since original treatment in September of 09 with maintenance of 1-5 times a week. The other dog is doing well too considering the corn is 3 years old, hulled several times and had come back frequently. As we showed on the story it was ready to come out after 2 months of treatment. I spoke to a nice vet in Ohio and he told me that the cream would be good to put in a hulled pad to soften the hull to help prevent its regrowth. I also spoke to a local vet who told me that if the corn is coming out and is almost out then pulling it out is fine but there may be a tiny amount of bleeding, but not to worry about it, and then put the cream in the hole. Our goal is to make sure the hull is NOT growing back! I love the idea of putting the pad in a little baggie and then putting a therapaw on so the owner does not have to sit there while the animal is soaking in the salt water/Epsom salt bath. This way the paw can be even softer! I do recommend using salt as well as the Epsom salts, as it softens and is a good detoxifier.

Do your greys have gas so bad that "It is enough to gag a maggot" or "Peel the pain off of walls"? I asked Susan (Breakthrough on Corns)what she would suggest what she did was give me some for the 3 Hooligans and I will try it and let you know how it works. She also said it is good for humans and gives it to her dh. Will keep you updated. mine do bring tears to my eyes

Just back from a visit with Susan and she is contacting a vet to get more information for a question from fasave. Susan also said that fasave using the baggy is a greyt idea as it keep it soft. As soon as I hear from her I will copy and post her e-mail she also told me she will answer your question also fasave

Fasave I will forward your question and information to Susan - I know she is monitoring this forum and her Intern may respond to you

Found this from Susan in my e-mail this morning Hi Beryl, I just went on the forum and was thrilled by the interest and sharing in this community. Since Erica is signed up and I am not yet, we will be communicating to the folks on the forum through her. We are constantly researching and refining our product. We are conducting a study on the corn cream and are so appreciative of the positive response. When I get to work tomorrow I want to send a new info sheet to post with updates like being able to put the cream directly into a hulled pad. Part of the cream's purpose is to break down this hard tissue. By putting it into the hull we may be able to break down the hard core before it has a chance to take hold. Please post this in the morning. Good Night! Susan Susan Merenstein,RPh Murray Avenue Apothecary

They did say it does work on the older corns but takes a little longer. So far I have been lucky with my hooligans no corns, just seizures with EZ and Ms Hershey's brakes don't work all the time and she is an escape artist. Penske I guess is the good boy no ER visits, just caused one by attacking EZ in seizure...

I understand that Susan's intern also joined the board. I did tell Susan that you all wanted her to join and am so happy that she is now one of us. Just think of all the informative posts she will give us. Welcome to our resident pharmacists Hugs Beryl

So sorry for your loss - May Cobra win every race at The Bridge

Welcome Susan - now you can answer all the questions instead of me e-mailing themm to you

Beryl, This cream may be used as a preventive as well…..but of course we don’t want to put into a wound, let the wound heal and then start applying the cream preventatively…about 1-5 times a week. Susan

Just received this from Susan Dear Greyhound Caretaker, In the world of compounding, we are always trying to solve problems. We were approached by a greyhound owner to help resolve a painful corn and callus problem that unfortunately plagues many rescued greyhounds. Our goal in creating this cream was to do the following: Soften the area, provide anti-inflammatory/pain relief, provide anti-fungal and antiseptic relief, draw out the corn, and finally heal and prevent recurrence. Happily the first dog had relief in 10 days and was able to run and walk and play without pain. The owner was amazed to say the least and we have since had similar success with other greyhound sufferers. We have found that if one starts the treatment early on, results may be seen faster. The woman on the story used the cream early on and it went away (and has not come back) in 7-10 days. The other Greyhound has had hers for years but the corn is coming out after 2 months! We want to work with vets and owners and shelters alike. We are Pittsburgh’s Pet Pharmacy and are proud to be a part of such a wonderful community of greyhound owners and caretakers. We are attaching an information sheet to this e-mail for your review. Typically, the cream takes 48-72 hours to prepare and can be sent via USPS or FedEX everywhere! The price is only $59 for about 1-2 months of treatment. The cream is non-prescription, and is non-toxic if the animal does lick it after the occlusion period of 10-15 minutes. Thanks so much for your interest and support of this worthwhile product. Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me or my intern, Erica Trimble.

Greyt news and I hope it helps. Please keep us posted

I was just trying to be funny on that post. Trying to cheer myself up after being to the cemetery today

hopefully Susan can answer your question Jackandgrey. I have been trying to keep in touch with her via e-mail and sending her all your questions. If mine were to get corns I would rather do this type of treatment and not surgery

She knows me!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe administration can send her an invitation to join us on this board.

big brindle bunny I have copied your questions and will try and get them to Susan. I hope she is reading all your questions and get back to me. I think she would like to join us here on this board what do you all think? Hey a resident Pharmacist

Hi Beryl, Thanks so much for the post! I went to the forum and read some of the posts. How do we join? Regarding the creams, there are two, one is OTC, and one is RX. I always tell people to start with the OTC one, try to soften the pad by soaking in warm salt water for about 5-10 minutes, dry and apply the cream, rub in well and cover with a bootie or even Saran wrap for about 15 min to occlude the area and keep the cream in place so the animal can't lick it off, but even if they were to lick the OTC version it is harmless. The woman on the story used the cream early on and it went away ( and hasnot come back) in 7-10 days. The other Grey Stella has had hers for years but hers is about to come out after 2 months! At a price of 59 for about 2 months I would say this is better than $700!! Please feel free to copy and paste this info on Greytalk and thanks again! Early treatment is key here but there is hope even for the tough cases! Take care, Susan Susan Merenstein,RPh Murray Avenue Apothecary received this from Susan this am She has read the posts and I am sure she would not mind answering questions.

Good news on Sonny Sue - Hope this treatment works for the pups who suffer from corns

Anytime something good happens for a greyhound or to a greyhound is always Christmas and the rest of the holidays rolled into one.

I just hope that this will help the poor pups who suffer and the parents whose purses suffer.

Thank you Jimmy As long as it can help our 4 legged friends. I understand that these corns can be very painful and expensive. So if this helps I will be happy.

you are very welcome Leslie and I hope that this will help those poor sore feet that some greyhounds are prone to get

I would e-mail her with your questions, this was on our local NBC station and I don't have all your answers Leslie. here is the e-mail addy: info@MurrayAvenueRX.com
