What a perfect poem. It truly captures the loss one feels at a time like this. I was crying earlier when I read it. I'm so sorry about Paul. It hurts when we lose any of them, some losses hurt so much more.

I couldn't imagine why he wouldn't. It's not like he'd be doing it for free like he used to do for greyhounds. A bone is a bone and osteo is osteo no matter what the breed. I think as long as the consultation fee is paid he would give an opinion.
If I remember correctly from what has been posted the fee is $125 for the consult.

I know how you feel.
George has similar problems--not quite as bad, yet. But I own my condo, and it's up three flights of stairs, and I cannot carry 64 pounds up the stairs. I suppose I could, in a life or death situation once, but not the five times a day he goes out.
I know that he will end up leaving me sooner than he would have to if I had a home with a yard and a way to get him in and out without the stairs, and it breaks my heart because I used to own a condo WITH AN ELEVATOR. I moved because I didn't like my neighbors. I still have whacko neighbors at the new place, but no elevator!
Argh.
It always makes me so sad for people in this situation. It's like your being cheated out of that extra time.

I'll be keeping you and Huston close to my heart and sending loads of white light and healing thoughts for a successful surgery and full recovery for your precious boy.
Chase will be doing his part to help by ordering biscuits.

All this coming on so suddenly and unexpectedly adds to the heartbreak.

Same here. Hoping both he and you had a restful night.

For a 2 hour trip there shouldn't be a need to stop. Of course if she starts getting real gassy and anxiously moving around a pit stop may be a good idea. Other than that it's best not to stop on such a short trip.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Healing thoughts and prayers continue for Duke. It's so sad to see him like that.

I might chop up some garlic and infuse some olive oil and give it a try on my toe. I sliced the bottom of my big toe and a painful corn, callus, something has formed. Might have stinky feet for a while and crave spaghetti and garlic bread though LOL!
And as an added bonus you won't have to worry about those pesky vampires.

Praying that he makes it through this crisis.

Judy, I'm so very sorry
. Dammit Arrow will be remembered fondly by many here. Please give my heartfelt condolences to Mike and Kevin also.

I'm so sorry to hear such sad news. My thoughts and prayers will be with her as she says goodbye.

Thank you for doing this. I know how hard it was. Hopefully this information will be of benefit to someone in the future.
I hope you find peace in knowing you did everything you could have for Red.

As others have said video it if you can. I wonder too what other abuses he had to endure before he was hung that could also cause something like this. A neuro consult would definitely be a good idea.
Iker and others like him are very blessed to have someone like you.

Wonderful news Alicia. We need a spinning and dancing emoti for news like

UPDATE Sunday morning 6/29:
Vet thoroughly manually examined Greta's back leg and found no reason for concern. Said to keep an eye on it and let him know if she seems to limp again.
Did he take any x-rays? These dogs can be very stoic when it comes to hiding pain when they go to the vet.

Alicia, I had read about Henry in Training and Behavior and was hoping that it wasn't medical when that was brought up. I'm sending lots of white light and healing thoughts his way in the event he should need it.
Mary, how is Jaynie doing? Has she got her appetite back yet? Adding healing thoughts and white light for her and all others battling that awful disease.

I'm still concerned, but you all are making me feel a little bit better. I just got a message from the vet. He's not concerned with the bloody or protein levels. He feels this is a result of the collection method, cystocentesis. He's waiting on a consultation with the lab about the bilirubin.
Superchem panel from 6/7
AST (SGOT) was 103 U/L with range of 15-66
Bilirubin was 0.4 mg/dL range of 0.1-0.3
There were no WBC or bacteria present in the urinalysis. As far as bilirubin in the urine is there a certain level at which one should be concerned?
One other thing, which I don't know if somehow is related, but I've noticed him several times forcefully swallowing several times over and over, as if he had a lump in his throat.

To spend so many years with such a wonderful companion is the greatest gift they give us. I wish you could have had even more time with him.

Well it looks like problems are now starting for Chase. He went in this past Thursday to have his teeth cleaned and a growth removed from his lip. That morning I noticed his urine had a rusty looking color to it so I had them do another urinalysis to compare with the one that was done on June 7th. Both were done by Antech.
Protein was 3+ up from 1+
Bilirubin was 3+ up from 2+
Blood was 3+ up from NEG
RBC was >50 HPF up from None
Vet is going to call today to discuss these results.
From what I've read I'm possibly dealing with an issue with his liver or bile duct.
I'm really tired of my dogs being sick, or should I now say dog since I've only got one left. The one bit of good news is that the biopsy on the growth came back as a benign melanocytoma.

I seem to remember someone else posting about the same problem and one of the more knowledgeable GT'ers hound healthwise (I think tbhounds ?) mentioned the possibility of Cushing's disease I think. Here's a link that describes the symptoms. If he has or starts showing any of the other symptoms I would have him tested for it.
