  4. My newest was spayed on a Wednesday, brought her home on Saturday and she did not show any discomfort at all. I had to make sure to keep her from running, I don't think it fazed her. She is now all healed up and does her circuit at least once a day.

  13. Good Luck this weekend and I hope Dodge has a greyt time. Keeping the fingers/paws crossed that Monday turns out good.
  14. Thinking about this, do you think the altitude makes the blood pressure worse??
  15. I was at OSU a couple of weeks ago and Dr. Couto told me there are machines that he sends home with some patients so their blood pressure can be checked periodically. Why don't you call them and ask about you getting your own machine - I have no idea the cost, but they would be a good resource on where you can possibly find one. This all being said, if Dr. Couto sends greys home with a blood pressure machine, then he has seen it often enough. The other thing Dr. Couto says is you can't get a real good reading a a vet because the pup is stressed out.
  16. Sending lots of hugs and prayers to Dodge.
  17. Sending lots of prayers and hugs yours and Rileys way.
  18. I am so sorry for your loss. Don't second guess yourself, OSU and Dr. Couto are the best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your little girl.
  19. Beautiful tribute Anne.
  20. Do the aspirate, it is not very invasive and can tell a lot.
  21. Are you sure it is a TBD? My vet diagnosed my girl with immune mediated. Took her to OSU and Dr. Couto was convinced it was some bacterial infection, although she tested negative for everything, including valley fever. Note - Spleen not enlarged. Did a bone aspirate and she has leukemia. Dr. Couto was more than shocked.
  22. Good Luck Brooke and Lindsay is a beauty.
  23. What a beautiful video and everylasting memory.
  24. 4 years ago I put my Maltese down, she was 15.5 years old. I had no idea how I was going to be able to get thru it, but I did. I swore I would never get another dog, fast forward to May 11, 2009 and I look at my 3 hounds in my living room, doing what they do best - SLEEP. I am now going thru another nightmare, something I didn't think I would go thru for a while at least. My 1st Greyhound, Peaches, was just diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and does not have long with us. She is only 4.5 years old and my heart is breaking so bad. I give her chemo injections daily hoping that this will stimulate her body to make red blood cells or platelets. I believe it is helping, but she still only has a short time as this disease won't go into long term remission. She is the love of my life and to see her with this is killing me more than anything. I know that each day will bring a new story and the other two hounds will help me through the pain and sorrow. Each day is a new day and as they say, time does heal all wounds. We have to remember the memories and all the smiles and laughter our hounds bring us. There will be more happy days ahead, it just doesn't seem like there will be during our down days. Hang in there, we are all here for each other, that is what is so greyt about Greytalk!
