Wishing all God speed.
Got the word about Myke last night She will be so missed

I am more than willing to drive up and get them to Ocean State here in R.I. I understand funds are a concern, but with all the fundraising we've done, we can get the money! First thing is to get this boy under the proper care
-
Not sure where in Ct you are, but if you can't get him to Tuffs, get him to Ocean State here in R.I.

Mary,
I am so very sorry to read he was called home Ekko's special friend, I bet she was sure to be one of the first to be there to greet him. I hope all the memories will offer some comfort

Beautiful baby girl

I am so sorry Jordan. I bet Ekko was right there as well as Wayne who spent his last few years fighting for the Galgos, who are at the center of our hearts

Ducky, thank you for including Wayne

Well we have now heard directly from Dr. Kellogg, the doctor who runs the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program. She says that Dr. Couto and the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program are still there.
I had been ready to post the following, explaining the possible ways things could have been misconstrued. I guess I will post it anyway:
Regarding the rumors about the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program: I can tell you that Dr. Couto is still present at OSU as of this past week. So far there have been nothing but rumors from people who read that someone who knows someone who knows someone (i.e. 3 times removed) who called OSU was told that Dr. Couto was not there. Someone emailed a vet at OSU who when asked where is Dr. C said "He is not here" and said "I can't comment further".
Here's the Greyhound-L post that appears to have started it all:
"A friend of one of our members wanted to consult with Dr. Couto and when she called OSU, she was told he is no longer there. She was not given an explanation or told where he is now. I email'd one of the DVM's I've had contact with and that person only confirmed that Dr. Couto isn't there but said she was not at liberty to comment. I do know that the Greyhound Health and Wellness Conference that was to be held in April was canceled but have no idea if this is related somehow.
Does anyone know anything about this? I'm concerned about the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program as I know it was funded by donations not the University and Dr. Couto was the driving force behind keeping it going."
There has been nothing from any credible source to confirm this. One possible explanation for the above:
Caller: I would like to speak to Dr. Couto.
OSU: He is not here.
Caller: Where did he go?
OSU: I don't have that information. (FYI, the front desk people who answer the phone are not given any information on any doctor's wherabouts -- just that they are on-clinic (available to see/talk to patients) or not.)
The caller is not aware of the above policy and assumes from this that Dr. Couto has left OSU for good.
Then the poster e-mails her vet:
Caller: I hear Dr. Couto is gone. Where is he (or what happened)?
Vet: Yes he's gone (meaning out of the hospital). I am not at liberty to say more (meaning that the policy of the hospital is not to divulge whereabouts of any employee, when not on clinic. Although I don't know if he was out for personal reasons, the hospital will NOT give out any information for any reason in this case).
We get used to the openness of the folks in the GHWP about telling us where Dr. Couto is, but I have had other oncologists at OSU not divulge the location of Dr. Couto to me, even though they know me very well. Either they don't know (most likely) or they don't feel comfortable commenting.
So please don't jump to conclusions that may not be accurate. Let's just wait until we get confirmation of any changes to the GHWP from someone who works at the GHWP before we do anything. If major changes are coming to the GHWP, it is done and nothing we can do at this point can change it.

edited to add: As for the website page for joining the GHWP: This site is notorious for "going down". From my previous job, I know that the OSU computer network is a HUGE conglomeration of different systems, not all of whom play well together.
Did she tell you she was leaving at the end of the month?

We've never had much luck with Flagyl, but the Tylan powder did the trick

I too would insist on them growing a culture. The fact that an antibiotic fixed the issue is a clue in itself. And the culture might just show that the first antibiotic she was on was not the correct one to knock out the bacteria

I have no experience at all with incontinence but what confuses me about that as a dx is, why can Chai hold it all night long with no issues? If she were truly incontinent, would she be able to hold it all night like she does? And the other thing that makes me wonder about the dx is the amount of times she needs to go out to pee and the amount she pees every time.

Lenny is on it. He's 65lbs and he can have 1/8-1/4 twice a day

I LOVE Traumeel. I use it all the time when they are hurting. I always have it in the house.
Same here. I buy the gel as it's easiest to massage in.
