cleptogrey

it sounds like Lettuce- She melts when p.j. are near her! i found her legs contorted into other legs in the 4 legged kind, given to her by a friend. so, i use a lightweight single layer fleece coat. she thinks she's going out when i put it on. you should look at this link- irene makes flannel garments as well, no static electricity. http://www.houndtime.com/?fbclid=IwAR1PqeXXYZnzfD5I5DMY8Mv1580BWc93btkD4Y14hrkDmK6lEoXbMehlWtA oh i see irene posted- give a look!

my thoughts exactly

unfortunately it sounds like what jamie went thru. first biopsy the cells were too immature to be conclusive. the second biopsy was conclusive and pointed us to steroids for initial treatment then if he responded well a cancer drug which would be administered by my vet for 3 months. he did not respond to the steroids- let's hope jeter is luckier. we observant owners know our dogs too well and often pick up on symptoms before testing does. HUGS!

Ice!cubes and!whole!carrots will help fill him up. Also look at the calorie count of the food. Try a reduced calorie food.

Annie had horrid corneal ulcerations( cat fight) with MRSR infection. She needed to have the scar tissue debrised. We never used a cone. No eye rubbing what so ever. She was on 4 different meds for a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure the ophthalmologist used a numbing agent in the compounded med. It was 7+ weeks of high maintenance 4xs daily.

please don't preorder- that could be a curse! (sorta like i don't believe in baby showers before they are born) one meal, one day, one snuggle at a time. Couto is fantastic- he too responded very quickly and professionally when the ortho dr. sent him annie's x rays.

Wishing you luck Less rabbit vomit And comfort for Jeter. Just curious as to which lab his FNA is being s3nt to? Will an oncologist evaluate it? I caught Jamie's lymphoma so early the cells were labeled "imature"

Jamie had lymphoma. My vet treats it first with steroids. Then if there is improvement a cancer drug that has very few side effects. The FNA from his lymph node was sent off to U. Of Co. I believe ANTECH lab. Their oncologists' consult was included in the diagnostic work. Jamie lasted a week on steroids.

enlarged spleen can be the result of lepto. lettuce had a mystery illness- 105 fever-and we were concerned about possible pyrometria. the ultra sound showed enlarged spleen hence the e vet thought lepto. the e vet happened to be the excellent clinic in denver(the Almadea East VCA). with my input, since they never considered any of the lyme diseases- colorado doesn't deal w/ lyme) she was put on 2 heavy duty antibiotics. i.v. fluids did bring her fever down by the end of the day admitted and she never did finish going into season. but it was a mystery after$ 2700 worth of diagnostics and intensive care. all i know is i'm glad her brain was not fried and she responded so well to the antibiotics. ellen, ZOFRAN, is a lot cheaper than Cerenia and works really really well. Cerenia can be administered via injection. But I have had(personally & with dogs) great results with Zofran.

this thread is hysterical! down here in NY i had an obedience instructor who just threw dry kibble in the yard and let them find it!

I'm so so sorry to hear this- been there. it was a short period and azim's liver tumor just grew-.

The!same thing happened to Annie. She jumped off the bed onto a carpet and broke her rear leg. It's such a shock.

Stick with simple stool samples and other easy to afford and!administer options. The change in the house could have started a slight case of colitis. But only science will know. Tylan or flagyl are great drugs when used properly. Vets are aware of the issues of overdosing. Annie was on flagyl for 5 month with 0 problems.

Sounds like your vet has a sensible approach. If he can't take meloxican then ask about adequan injections. If your vet wants to try meloxican then pecid a.c prior to feeding, meloxican after feeding. Meloxican is once a day. The generic does not work as well . Felix was on both for his arthritic lumbar. It kept him comfortable and in good enough shape to play.

this can be the steroids but how old is your pup? those, unfortunately, are many signs of dementia. check in with your vet and discuss this thoroughly. 3rd party opinions will drive you to drink. for dementia both purina bright minds and senalife can help. good luck

practice makes perfect just keep on taking him places, they do get used to it.

sounds like either an injury to the eye or something. a blue eyed dog looks like a normal blue eye. i did have a saluki who had a blue eye- opaque blue. most likely a reaction to the distemper puppy shot. he life a normal life- nothing stopped him from hunting

i like your vet's approach- antibiotics and recheck. once you have the recheck your vet will most likely prescribe the correct food for him. just open that mouth and shove your hand down his throat as far as it can go- that will get those mega pills down. i have never hidden pills, just hand down the gullet. my last saluki had a bile duct that would clog and clear out- his urine was awful then went from dark tea/coke to clear in a matter of hours. it took more than a year for it to manifest into a tumor- no testing was done, just watching. azim, who survived parvo, lived a normal life until the last 2 months. he lived to 12. anything over 10 for a big dog is a good long life- hoping for a good long ancient life for Jeter

If the pin was Sterling and hand crafted I would value it at $85-100. Look on eBay under vintage greyhound pins.

Your vet sounds focused. One thing at a time, let him take is organized path to getting this under control. Thin skin and scant hair, excessive thirst and urination are also side effects of steroids. My late Scottie was on them for 10 years, one deals with it. Good luck with the results of the bloodwork.

also try allivet and google shopping ivomectin which is the active ingredient in heart worm meds is good for 45 days, but no one can keep track of a 45 day cycle- so it's given every 30 days. so, if you are a tad late, don't panic.

If they step in poop or run thru mud a wet microfiber cloth works wonders. Dare I say most dog owners have gritty floors, hence all the posts on this forum about vacuum cleaners.

The recall exercises!will help if you play games and the exercises prior to navigating your return. Stick with the fun, calling him to you is essentially checking in. A diversion and reward for looking. In other words change the game. Reward time, play time and continue in the apt as well. A new spin on the experience.

have you started recall exercises and practice on lead? that could solve many of your problems. use a long line(can be a clothes line or the dreaded flexi-lead- the ribbon type)- let them out- call or reel them back in and reward with a super good treat- HOT DOGS are the best.

i took my first gh to work with me. i was working pt at a state park. she hung out in the office, with all of us and walked the trails w/ me, drove around in the electric mule or pick up truck for patrols. she was very easy going and just went with the flow. never had a problem w/ doors opening- what dog in their right mind would leave an office if there was an endless stash of milk bone biscuits?
