I have long days like that and lost the person who would come to let my dogs out to, well, that's a different story. Anyway, I was able to teach my dogs to use washable pee pads while I was gone. They didn't always need to use it, but did once in a while. It worked really well. I always had more clean ones on hand, so I didn't have to wash one or two by themselves. I bought the really large ones for hospital beds, put 2 down on the floor in a specific place and that was it.

It looks like a wart to me.

You might want to try Lazarus Naturals, they have a really good high potency CBD tincture, no THC. They seen to be a really good company, and they give big discounts to veterans and low income people. Another good one that has a high potency tincture, but not as high as Lazarus, is Innovet. They also have sales and decent discounts.

What is your goal for using it? I tried many different kinds for Bowie's cancer.

Thank you. I'll check with them.

Dick, is there any way to get video that used to be on TrackInfo? Last race was in 2010 at Wheeling Downs. I would give anything to see videos of her racing again. I lost her on 12.11.18.

Bowie's vet came up with a quality of life scale. I found it to be very helpful. https://pawspice.com/q-of-l-care/new-page.html

💔

Bella Run Softly Softy, Bowie, Mama, Mamacita, Bo, Bowie Peeps, Peeps, Peep 4.12.7 - 12.11.18 One in a million, truly. Filled with pure joy, confidence, and grit, lots and lots of grit. 25 months with osteo, girlfriend had lots of grit. I love her with all my heart, which is now shattered into nano pieces. I'll write a proper tribute after I've found a way to piece it together again. Just know that she never had even a day of suffering, she had a good quality of life throughout all of it. She had days where she didn't feel great, that's to be expected, metcifully they were rare.

Very good point! Thanks for adding that. I was in a fog when I wrote my response. Bowie had a rough night and day today, so I'm not all here.

Dear god, I am so very sorry. I cannot fathom...my heart goes out to you.

Bowie developed a rare form of Osteosarcoma subcutaneously, so not exactly the same thing. Prognosis for it is 26 - 74 days. She developed it at the end of April this year and she's still with me. The tumors are massive now, but started small. They were being watched, but seemed to blow up overnight. Several things to think about, in terms of prevention, change of diet to raw, adding golden paste to his diet, daily CBD oil with THC (not enough to make the dog high), mushroom supplements, and several other supplements. If you're interested, I'm happy to share the info.

Uh, what the what?!

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I hope it works.

I had a couple of harnesses, some that said they were perfect for dogs with front leg amps. None of them worked very well for Bowie and would just slide around the front of her chest no matter how I adjusted it. She would rather walk with a collar, so that's what she has been using ever since.

What a sweet tribute and photo. I'm so sorry. Gone way too soon, way too soon.

I'm so sorry. Osteo is pure unadulterated evil. Finn sounds like one amazing boy, what an incredible protector.

That is not true with Healthy Paws. Bowie's osteo diagnosis began back in 2016 and they are still paying claims related to her osteo as I type this in 2018! I had Pet First ages ago and they did that with Carl as he was hypothyroid. I dumped them right away.

Healthy Paws. They have paid exactly as they said they would for Bowie. She's 2 years post first limp with osteo. I have a $250 yearly deductible, I pay for the office visit fee and they pay 90% of everything else. So far over the last 24 months they've paid for: Many sets of x-rays Bone scan Front leg amputation with 5+ day hospitalization 3 day hospitalization for infection post suture removal Ultrasound 6 rounds of chemo (Greyhound Health Initiative paid for the actual chemo meds) Osteo vaccine expanded field study (original 3 rounds and 3 additional boosters) Multiple chiropractic visits Emergency visit requiring sub q fluids Immunocidin injections Entyce to stimulate appetite Multiple meds And on and on and on. Probably right around $20,000. They are amazing. They raised our rates significantly recently, but it still will never come close to what they've paid out in the past 2 years.

I'm so sorry, that is a lot of loss in such a short period of time.

Thanks!

After an hour or so she ate without a problem. Thanks for the suggestion about Ensure or Boost. Do they have anything like that for dogs that isn't loaded with sugar?

I learned today that, for Bowie, one dose lasts 2 days. She turned her nose up at what she greedily ate the last two days. I just gave her another dose. I'll try feeding her again in an hour or two.

We tried Mirtazapine, but it only worked for one meal. I guess it doesn't work for all dogs.
