Three weeks before I found her lymph nodes swollen and she was diagnosed with lymphoma Beanie spiked an unexplained fever of close to 106°. May have been totally unrelated, but I would keep a close watch on her lymph nodes following this.
-
I'm so deeply deeply sorry about this diagnosis. I wish I had chosen the route of palliative care with Beanie's also. My thoughts will be with you and Murphy during this time.
This is so unfair, but Murphy is so blessed to have found someone who really loved him to be there for him during this time. Can you just imagine him still in that backyard alone going through this

I'm so sorry
, I share your pain. Like Marilyn's my Beanie's last hours were agony filled. I couldn't believe how fast it happened. I too am having a hard time coming to grips with her loss. -
I'm so sorry
I've know of something similar happening to a greyhound someone I knew was fostering. He too was young like your boy.

Here's a list of dealers that carry Blue Ridge Beef products. They have raw green tripe in 2lb and 5lb chubs. You might see if there are any near you. If you don't see anyone nearby I would try contacting the company and asking them. I know for instance the place I've gotten their products from isn't listed.Where did you get it!? I haven't been able to get any in a long time. our hounds love it... I've learned to not breathe through my nose when feeding
I see you got in Cambridge... a bit too far for me.. shoot

Totally understand the worry wart part.
It's a good idea to have something like Gas-X on hand. If bloat is suspected you can give them that to help relieve some of the built up gas as you get them to the vet.

I'm really sorry to hear about your girl's diagnosis. I lost my girl Beanie in March after a difficult battle with this awful cancer. I pray that things are more successful for you and Margot and you gets all the help you need to help her fight this.

As much as I can't stand looking at trachea, liver, or cow tounge, the smell is at least tolerable.
I see from your list you haven't fed kidney yet. I thought I would literally get sick when I bought some for mine and had to cut it up. It has a smell even worse than tripe. I can't believe people actually eat it.
-
I would give him a bedtime snack. I know you say nothing has changed but for Rickie it may have and the remedy might be something as simple as a couple of yummy bedtime cookies.
-
I seem to vaguely remember someone on here microwaving tripe for their grey to entice it to eat. Could you imagine that smell. Now that is true devotion. I couldn't imagine putting anything else in that microwave ever again.

I think your doing the wise thing in having the splenectomy done. He wasn't a greyhound, but my American bulldog, Bruiser had to have a splenectomy because of a ruptured mass. It turned out to be HSA. He did fine with the surgery, but I lost him 8 months later to the cancer. My vet feels the outcome could have been better if we had caught the mass before it ruptured.

Also check SBH Medical. I've gotten really good prices through them on various drugs
-
Check the popliteal and prescapular ones also. If they are swollen also you could be looking at lymphoma. I hope this is not the case

Not sure if anyone is close to a Pet Sense store, but they have a buy 5 bags get 1 free on Iams dog food.

I've been thinking about Lady and wondering how things are going. It's great to read your positive update. Will she always be on a restricted diet or is it just until the gut heals?
-
I do hope that it is not HSA and whatever it is it is not spreading. Healing thoughts and white light are being sent for your girl.

If you haven't already stopped the meloxicam I would immediately. Meloxicam is one of the worst nsaids to cause gastrointestinal problems. Considering her inappetance along with the diarrhea and the timing I think it is your culprit. I do hope you can get her feeling better soon.
-
I'm so sorry.
-
I'm interested to hear what kind of results you get with it.
-
Thanks for the update. I'm glad he's doing well
-
How is Slinky doing? I hope he is continuing to improve.

Both. Fish, beef, pork, chicken and rice have been homecooked. Quail and turkey raw ground. Venison, chicken, and turkey was kibble.

Since Beanie passed Nadir's bladder problems have started again full force. They actually started prior to that, but it was hard to determine if it was him or her because of the prednisone she was on. This problem has always been linked to a food he has been eating. If I eliminate the food the problem goes away. The problem I have now is he is reacting to everything I feed him. He does okay for about a week then the problem starts again. These are the foods I have tried so far that I have been through with him that cause his bladder problems; rice, fish, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, quail, venison and pork. I essentially have run out of options to feed him. What I don't understand is why is he reacting to all these foods. I've got an appointment with a SAIM specialist at Auburn tomorrow morning. I hope she can given me some answers and some way to help my boy. Having to clean up after him is not what bothers me; the pain it causes him does however.

Just seeing this now and wondering too how she is doing this morning. I hope it clears up without the need for more vet visits for the sake of your spooky girl.
