Another great before/after story we received from one of our clients about the Greyhound Corn/Callus Cream that we formulated and compound at Murray Avenue Apothecary: Before (October 1, 2010) I recieved the corn cream and read the directions which stated that I should have also ordered the product that hydrated the dogs pad first, so I did that more than a week ago and have not recived it, do you know where it is? Can I start using the corn cream now? After (April 2, 2011) I just wanted to let you know that my greyhound is corn free right now. I ordered and used the two products for several months as I was not able to do it twice a day every day so it took longer but it did work. He had 9 corns some very large, and the products just drew them out over time and they must have fallen out while he was outside running in the yard. There is no spot or hole left, it is quite amazing to me. Thank you for this cure, I was so distressed having them hulled every other month! All greyhound owners should know about about this not to mention the vets! I did not take pictures, now I wish I had, the corns were quite big and came bulging out, it amazes me there was no blood no oozing of any sort, and no hole or crater at all left behind. Also, I did not wrap his paws with a baggie, I sat with him for 20 minutes after each application to make sure he didn't get up or lick it off. The solution in the blue bottle absorbed into his pads immediately, so I applied the cream like 5 minutes later just a dab on the corn itself, I didn't rub it in, and then sat with him. Thank you so much for this product! Should I use both products for maintenance or just the one in the blue bottle? Oh, and interestingly, both products were applied with my one bare finger, and then I couldn't get up and wash my hands for the 20 minutes and there was no ill effect what so ever to my finger..that was interesting to me. You are great at what you do! For additional information, contact us: Erica Trimble, PharmD Susan Merenstein, R.Ph./Owner Murray Avenue Apothecary www.murrayavenuerx.com www.yourgoddessroom.com

JUST IN: Another Success Story with The Corn/Callus Cream Subject: Kizzy's Corn(s) Testimonial I've had Kizzy for almost 8 years, and I can't imagine having a better dog. Since day one, he's been my constant companion, we've been active in Meet & Greets and ARF Playdates. I walked him daily, we visited friends, we even hiked together. Mr. Kizmitti had always been in perfect health, and other than having half a dozen surgeries for torn webbing between his toes, and the usual teeth cleaning, he pretty much managed to stay out of the vet's office. A little over a year ago, he began limping. With much concern (please don't let it be cancer, please don't let it be cancer), I brought him to our vet (Dr. Bjork), who examined him, took an x-ray, and didn't find anything. Kizzy's limping became worse, so back to Dr. B we went. This time, the diagnosis was Corns. I had once thought Greyhound Corns to be trivial, but I quickly learned they are not. What began as 1 Corn on 1 paw, escalated within months to 2 Corns on 2 paws; both front paws were involved. Poor Kizz was miserable. He could no longer go on walks, his feet hurt too much. I tried TheraPaws, he wouldn't wear them. Let me tell you, I'm no softy, I've worked with dogs all my life, and Kizzy would not wear the booties. My former food hound lost his appetite, and began growling at everybody. He no longer played, and because he had no traction in front, he began falling off our deck and was unable to get in/out of the car. For several months, I'd been having his corns hulled every 3 weeks, and that almost didn't help at all, and they grew right back. Dr. B said they were the worst corns he'd seen, because Kizzy had so many and they came back so quickly. I did tons of research, and there was no cure for Greyhound corns. None. I couldn't just give up, so I tried various home remedies, none of which offered any relief. My beloved Kizzy grew even worse, he was a cripple, and the joyful life he'd once had was gone. I talked to Dr. B about our options, each of which were very surgically invasive, painful, and required a long recuperation period with no guarantee the Corns wouldn't come back, or that he wouldn't get more. Kizzy is 10, I figure he has 2 or 3 really good years left, and I didn't want him to spend a good part of that recuperating from major surgery. I began to think that I would have to put my beloved Kizzy down. He had no quality of life, but it was tragic that other than the corns, he was perfectly healthy. My heart was heavy with the thought of having to make that decision. The worst time was when I brought Kizzer in for his regular 3-week hulling, and we found a new Corn on a new foot. The left hind foot. Now my Kizzy had both front paws and a hind paw involved, with no end in sight. I was in tears when I left the office, all I could think was about was that my boy was doomed. Later that day, I was in a client's back yard throwing a ball for her Border Collie, and my phone rang. It was Stu, and because I was crying when I answered it, I could hardly hear Stu when he shouted that "someone in Pennsylvania has invented a cure for Greyhound Corns". I kept saying "what what"? When I finally understood what he was saying, it was so unbelievable to me, that my boy, my long time friend and companion, might have a 2nd chance! Thank you greytly to Chris Terry for finding out about this incredibly revolutionary product, and passing it on to Stu. Here's the story: A woman who owns a Rescued Greyhound who had Corns, walked into a compounding pharmacy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to see if they could come up with something to help her dogs' corns. The Pharmacist, who is the nicest woman and loves her job, did a little research, and developed a 2 step treatment that is safe, non-toxic, and non-invasive. According to Susan Merenstein, the Pharmacist who developed it, this treatment has a 74-79% cure rate. The amount of time it takes to work depends on how long they've had them/how severe your Greyhounds' Corns are. The range so far is from under a week, to more than 4 months. I am ecstatically happy to report that, 13 weeks after starting this treatment, Kizzy's Corns are almost cured! The treatment is a 2 step process, and must be done twice daily. It takes about 50 minutes each time, and you must do it religiously, otherwise it won't work. In the 1st step, you soak the afflicted paw in a mixture of olive oil and water for 20 minutes. As an alternative, you can use a lubricant the developing pharmacy carries. After trying the olive oil/water with Kizzy once, I quickly decided this was not going to work for us. It was really messy! I ordered the lubricant, and I was much happier. You put the lubricant on the Corn(s), put that paw in a plastic bag, put a bootie over that, and keep those on for 20 minutes. Then, you remove those, massage their "Corn and Callous Cream" into the Corn until it changes color from white to clear-ish, then bag/bootie again for another 20 minutes, and you're done with that treatment. The treatment works by drawing out the Corn, then going up into the stem and killing the virus that causes it. Once the Corn is gone, you begin "maintenance", which is between 1-5 treatments a week for life. Kizzy began the treatments with 6 corns on 3 feet. He gained 2 corns, and lost 3. He still has 5 left, but those are shrinking fast. It may not sound like he's almost cured, but at 13 weeks, Kizzy no longer limps. His appetite has returned, we're taking him for short walks, and the best part is, he's enjoying life again! He's happy and animated, he's once again playing with his squeaky toys and he's back to spinning! At playdates, he trots around greeting people and checking out the other greyts, instead of laying down and grouching at the dogs who get too close. He's back to feeling like his old self, and although I believe eventually all his Corns will fall out, even if they never get any better than this, I got my dog back. He feels greyt and that's our success! Susan, the inventor of this treatment, is in talks with a Vet at Iowa University to develop real clinical trials for this, and hopefully one day, Greyhounds all over the world will have her to thank for curing their painful Corns. I highly recommend this product and am happy to answer any questions. Please feel free to call me at: 925-609-9134, or email me directly at: kckahn@gmail.com. Always, Kris and her ever-faithful Kizzy From our beloved customer Erica Trimble, PharmD and Susan Merenstein, R.Ph./Owner Murray Avenue Apothecary www.murrayavenuerx.com 412-421-4996

We have had GREAT success with the Corn/Callus Cream so far. And in fact, we are talking with Dr. Couto from Ohio State University to possibly conduct a controlled trial on the treatment. As for the azithromycin...your results are incredible! We are curious as to your total cost for the treatment. We are here to help and can hopefully offer the medication at a much lower cost than you had been paying. We are also able to customize doses to the dogs' specific size in a liquid formulation that is flavored (to your pet's liking) for easier dosing! I also wanted to mention that you should consider giving your dog probiotics in conjunction with the long-term antibiotic. You can read more about this on the probiotic page of our website at: http://www.murrayavenuerx.com/probiotics1.html. For the gums/teeth: we offer a great CoQ-10 gum gel that would really help! If you have questions about this, feel free to call us at the pharmacy. Best of luck with your treatment. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help! Yours in health, Erica Trimble, PharmD Susan Merenstein, R.Ph./Owner Murray Avenue Apothecary www.murrayavenuerx.com 412-421-4996

We are always here to help solve your medication needs in anyway that we can...whether it be for you or your pets!! Let us know if there is anything we can do. Thanks for all your continued support! Erica Trimble, PharmD Susan Merenstein, R.Ph./Owner Murray Avenue Apothecary www.murrayavenuerx.com

Dee, Thank you so much for even considering to put our website in your presentation. In an earlier post, I put some of the responses that I have received from owners using the cream. Also, please feel free to visit our website to get information about the cream if you would like to include that. Again, thank you for your support and interest in help to solve this horrible, persistent pet problem. Yours in health, Erica Trimble, PharmD Murray Avenue Apothecary

Here at Murray Avenue Apothecary, we are excited to hear from so many greyhound owners who have had success with our Corn Cream. Just to clarify, the cream is over the counter and we do not require a prescription, but we are advocates of keeping the health triad between prescriber, patient, and pharmacist, so we do contact the vets to let them know that you are using the treatment. Here is one success story- After purchasing the cream and after only 3 days of treatment the corns are already coming out. I'm so excited that this is working. I took pictures and if you would like to see them I will send them. I have to say though the soaking of the corns is the hard part. She has 2 corns one on each foot of her back legs and she's not a happy camper when I come with the water. Last night I was able to pull a lot of the big corn out and a small portion of the big one. Amazing is all I can say. Hopefully soon Lizzy will no longer be limping and can enjoy running again. I'm sending a copy of this to our local greyhound rescue group so they can pass the word on. Regards, Cherie We have consistently been getting feedback from happy greyhound caretakers. If you have been using our corn treatment, please send your results to erica@murrayavenuerx.com. If you would like to read more about our exclusive corn cream and many more of our specialty items, check out our NEW WEBSITE at www.murrayavenuerx.com. You can now order products online and submit prescription refill requests!! And don't forget our exclusive online offer! Your friends at Murray Avenue Apothecary

UPDATES: Greyhound owners reporting fantastic results!! Yesterday, I had follow-ups with 5 greyhound owners who purchased our Greyhound Corn Cream and each of them had a success story! 1. Dog had corn for about 18 months. After treating for 4 weeks, the corn had been drawn out so far, that the vet was able to pull/hull it out. The vet said the area looked very good, and the tissue was very soft and healthy underneath where the corn used to be. The dog had another, smaller corn on a different foot, and it has decreased in size and he is not limping anymore. 2. This dog had her corn for 2 years. They have been using the corn cream twice daily for 4 weeks, and the circumference has decreased. 3. The grey's corn was persistent for more than a year, and kept returning after having it hulled several times. After 4 weeks of treatment with our Greyhound Corn Cream, the corn was gone! The owner saw no signs of remnants and the pad was very smooth. Best of all, the dog was not limping! 4. Owner knew for sure of 1 corn, but was suspicious of one developing on another foot. They started using the cream on both locations twice daily, and after 4 weeks, the corn they knew of had emerged from the pad, and was sticking out so far that the owner could easily remove it. Turns out there was a corn on the other pad, although it wasn't visible. The Corn Cream "pulled it right out". 5. Started treating with Greyhound Corn Cream on Friday. Treated the corn, which first appeared in February, twice daily for two day, then just once a day. After only 5 days, the corn is already raising out of the surface of the pad! We are so pleased and excited with the continual positive responses to the Greyhound Corn Cream. We hope each of you have a similar success story so that we have happier, healthier greyhounds!

I'm not as young as I used to be and my eyes are definitely not what they were, but those pictures look like they are not the same toe - or even the same foot - to me. Sorry for not being clear on the original post... the pictures are different feet. The owner did not take a picture prior to treatment, but the dog had another corn on another paw and the owner sent that picture because the one that came out looked exactly like it. I apologize for the confusion! Let me know if you have any other questions or input.

Good afternoon greyhound owners/lovers! I hope everything is going well with the cream and the treatments are beginning to show results. Looking over some of your posts, I wanted to address a couple of questions that I saw pop up. We can ship to the UK. International shipping rates would apply, but the cream is over the counter and does not have any restrictions for shipping across seas. We would be happy to do this for you. In regards to the black dot, continue to use the cream. If it is dead tissue as we were advised by a local vet (from showing her the picture), it should eventually heal and the dead would be replaced by fresh, new healthy cells. If it is still remnants of a corn, continuing to treat will be beneficial and hopefully penetrate to the deeper tissues where the root of the problem is. If you have any questions or concerns during treatment, don't hesitate to email or call us at the pharmacy! Also, please keep us informed of your observations so that we can document the findings in our study. One more thing we are asking of those who would like to share is if you would send us pictures of your dogs, and the corns before and after treatment. We have a slide show running in the pharmacy and will also be sharing your lovely pets on our new website. Pictures of the corns will assist in our research and help to answer any questions that may arise. Once again, thank you for your continued support and interest! You are very dedicated caretakers and the greys are lucky to have you!

Some great reports from Murray Avenue Apothecary- We received an email from a greyhound owner who purchased our corn cream. Her grey had a severe corn that persisted for at least a year and a half (maybe longer). After using the cream for 7-10 days, the corn came out! Take a look at the before and after photos to see exactly what we are talking about! This is great news and we hope that more of you will soon be contacting us with results as successful as this!
