I'll keep you and her both in my thoughts.

If the carprofen did cause an ulcer, Manuka honey will help to soothe and heal it.

It doesn't seem that it has been all that long since you went to the airport to pick him up. I was so excited for you and for Argos for the good life that I knew lay ahead for him. It saddens me to read of his passing and to know that he too is now gone.

I think if I were you I'd ask the vet if there's anything else she can take as an alternative to Tramadol, even if it's short term so that you can see if it's the Tramadol which is to blame.
This webpage may be helpful in talking with your vet to determine if there is another medication that might help.

It is possible that the panting is from the tramadol. Some greyhounds do not tolerate it well. Is it possible for you to dose her gabapentin 3X a day and try eliminating the tramadol to see how she does? Also if you have cold laser therapy in your area it might be worth trying to see if that will help her. I have a friend whose senior greyhound has been helped tremendously from treatments she gets.
JohnF usually posts a very good list that is very helpful when trying to decide if it is time to say goodbye.
Edited to add my apologies to Clodagh for referring to her as him.

Such a good update.
I'm staying optimistic there will be no need for another surgery. -
I hope your smiling as you think back on your memories of her.

Five hours ago, we had a dog. We now have a collar, and our memories. This is very foreign (my first dog) and heartrending, and numbing at the same time.
I know that sickening feeling all too well.
I'm so sorry to read of Aston's passing.

Thinking of you Pam and remembering your little side-kick with the most unimaginatively imaginative name. Poodle. That little guy was one of a kind.

When on NSAIDS bloodwork should be done periodically. Was any bloodwork done prior to the increase?

Something to consider.

There is an approximately one in 1000 chances of a dog on carprofen developing nausea, appetite loss, vomiting or diarrhea. If any of the above are noted, carprofen should be discontinued and the dog brought in for a liver enzyme blood test. In most cases, the reaction is minor and resolves with symptomatic relief, but it is important to rule out whether or not the patient has more than just a routine upset stomach.

They can do a nerve block on the toe affected by the corn. It won't last but a few hours, but should be time enough to see if the limp is still there.

My heart hurts knowing what you are going through with Nessa.
-
Knowing you've done the right thing doesn't make it any easier. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I hope so mel but steroids not having any effect now he looks in pain, not eating. I`m crumbling, thought I was prepared but its heartbreaking
I'm so sorry your having to go through this right now.
You never said if it was lymphoma, but if it is be prepared that you might not be able to wait until tomorrow to take him in if his body is starting to crash. I hesitated taking Beanie in the evening she died thinking she would be alright until the morning. It was one of the worse mistakes of my life, which she paid for in suffering I can't begin to describe by the time I ended rushing her to the evet that evening to be euthanized. Is he running a temperature? Beanie's body felt like it was on fire by the time I reached the evet.
I really hope this is not the case with Pepper, but you need to be prepared to take action quickly if it is and hopefully the evet is close as the one I had to take Beanie to was not.

Hello!
I have a question and feeling very desperate! Can Rymidal cause kidney problems and if so, what should we give her? She started on Rymidal during/ after her radiation. Her creatinine ( sp?) was high all along at 2.4 ish. But her levels were slightly higher since the day we adopted her. She did not tolerate Tramadol the one time we gave it to her!!!
She clearly has more leg pain now, we are adding Gabapentin, but on her blood work, her creatinine was 14??? Is that even possible?? We are going to retest it. She is not eating well at all, and does not feel good obviously but will go on a walk, pee, poop, drink....
thanks in advance
What drug regimen (drugs and dosages) is she on right now? Could the creatinine of 14 be the BUN/Creatinine ratio result? Nadir's creatinine was 2.4 and ratio was 15 prior to passing from a combination of advanced renal disease and clotting problems.

Pam I'm so sorry. It's so hard to say goodbye to someone who has been such a big part of your life and means so much to you.

I really don't think that Wellness petfood is foolish enough to put a toxic dose of anything in their food on purpose.
I initially thought Wellness pet food also until I checked the link provided.

I'm sorry to hear that Diamond's cancer has spread like it has, but glad that you still have more time to spend with her. Enjoy and treasure each moment given

I'm hoping both he and you finally got some rest and he starts feeling better.

Keeping you both in my thoughts today.

Honey stays good forever. Give her a teaspoon or two every few hours until the gurgling stops, then just before meals. It will help ease the discomfort she is feeling and help her appetite.
-
I certainly hope that the worst of it has passed for Peggy and she is on the mend. Was she taking any Nsaids for anything? They can be the cause of such issues.
Just want to mention that Manuka honey is very good for aiding in healing the stomach and stopping the gurgles.
I'm staying optimistic there will be no need for another surgery.

I'm thinking it's time for a food change. It is hard to suggest a food as what might be work for one will not work for another. One thing I would suggest to start with is to switch the protein source.
