Nancy, I'm sorry to hear Polly is not doing well
. Is she still eating then same amount that use to maintain her weight? Will she eat more if you increase the amount? How are her stools, are they firm or more like cow patty plops? Just wondering if she's eating good, but not maintaining weight if something related to poor food absorption, like EPI is going on. -
I just read about a new training approach that seems pretty neat. There is a great video in the article demonstrating the method. Looks like it could be a lot of fun for both trainer and dog.

. It was hard losing Nadir like I did, but at least I was there when it happened. Although I don't think he was aware of my presence. I'm so sorry you couldn't be there for Roxy . -
The one thing I would take into consideration is the direct link between kidney disease and heart and cardiovascular disease. If the heart is already compromised because of kidney disease would the damage caused by doxorubicin prove to be too much for it. If you're not already you might consider giving her ubiqinol for her heart.

Just for balance, I do feel it necessary to point out that many greyhounds - my own included - can take Tramadol with no adverse side effects. No anxiety, no sleepiness, just effective pain relief. I can't comment on the Rimadyl as I have no experience of that.
Nadir was another hound that had no problems with tramadol. I was actually lucky in that aside from Nsaids he had no adverse affects to the numerous pain medications he took.

She is beautiful. Sending bright beams of white light for her surgery and recovery.

I'm so, so very sorry, Heather

Connie I'm so sorry about Carl
. I know how bad it hurts to lose them as a result of doing something you had hoped would help. -
Add me to those who have been missing Hester's adventures. Hope you get things cleared up with his anal glands and get back to posting his adventures again.

Please have her checked for aortic thromboembolism. I just lost my greyhound Nadir due to complications from this. It affected his rear legs and his kidneys.

Those pictures of Cleo have always made me smile. I think she knew you was her's when she walked through your door.

Ducky, I'm so sorry

Have her heart and circulatory system checked for clots. I know now that this was the root of Nadir's urinary problems the last 2 years of his life.

Sending lots of white light for May.

Mary, this is something you may want to consider speaking with Jaynie's oncologist about concerning doxorubicin with regard to the timing of it's administration

There are several other studies that support that given at a certain time of day the toxic effects to the heart are reduced and it is more effective against the cancer.

The greatest gift you give him is remembering him like you do.

So much of your description of Isabella reminds me of my own sweet Beanie, even her picture, so I know how very special she was to you and how much she shall be missed. It is a blessing indeed to have them share our lives.

Now this is the kind of updates I like to read in H & M

I can't imagine how devastated Lily's family is. The sudden losses that shatter your hopes are just heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. She was absolutely stunning.
How true I know this to be. Please share my deepest condolences with Lily's mom and dad.

Every time I come to Remembrance I am saddened at seeing Pudge's name here.
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet old girl.

I spent the first 6 months of Nadir's last year trying to get him to eat. It was a constant battle of changing foods and adding in extras to get him to eat. If he did eat he never finished it though. I then came across Canine Caviar Holistic Chicken and Pearl Millet and what a difference it made. For the first week I fed it I mixed in canned food, but after a week I stopped doing that and he never refused to eat any more. He started looking forward to eating and finished everything I gave him. His appetite was great with this food up to the day he died. I did add a tsp of psyllium fiber to his food at each meal, not because of soft poops, but because he tended to get constipated. You would probably have to order this food online, but it is definitely something I would try. For Nadir it was a lifesaver. I'm not sure how long he could have lasted not eating like he was prior to finding this food.
