See if they will just put him on clavamox and you will know in a few days if it clears.

What a beautiful girl! Sending my sympathy

My guys were on kibble and their protien was high. Since they were healthy and had no symptoms we ignored it.

I'd wonder how much salt in the kibble? Did they culture the urine? I'd put him on antibiotics before the stress of xrays, etc. (Clavamox)

There were a lot of losses last December. I know how you feel

Do you mean her RBC or HCT? Sending lots of prayers.

What a good boy!

I personally prefer boiled meat only or boiled meat and pasta or potatoes. Make sure, as mentioned above, they are tested for giardia. Since it is going around, I wonder if they all have worms, a virus or giardia or have gotten bad food. If it's been awhile since being wormed, I'd do at least 3 days of panacur for all of them and would probably do 5 days for all of them.

Good news! He should be 2.0 to 5.0 on retest.

of course I behave myself.....all the tv remotes are now put up

I use Interceptor year round. I'm not sure why they are using the shot for hook. Anyone else's vet use it?

There in a lot of different threads. Some have problems with the patch, some if given too much tramadol. Did you read Winslow's Diary?

say thank you We are going to wait until Christmas

OK - are you ready for this? Tootsie & Mahogany's ss send a pkg parcel post and I received it today. Took 3 days from up in the north east! I have priority pkgs that have been traveling 5 days.

sending lots of prayers!

She can run like the wind again

Thank you SS whoever you are. I will be beautiful in my new red tag collar from 2Hounds Pictures later!

Print out the recommendations from his own organization! Sheesh!

Some of the meds make greys agitated so that is also a consideration. Sending prayers!

Well, you could adopt seniors..... Mizzy makes #20 for me, 15 at the bridge. Ivey had osteo (11 1/2). Austin had soft tissue osteo (he was 13 went he went). I am pretty sure SieSie had lymphoma (lumps appearing hourly) 13 1/2, Shadow had a lung tumor (14 1/2). I think Solo and Rob Roy had spinal tumors (Solo was I think 13 and Rob Roy just shy of 13), Solomon probably liver cancer (14), Jodie was a diabetic and developed endocarditis (12), Magic was 16 1/2, Trevor LP (12), Eliza rimadyl (9 3/4), Jesse kidney disease (12), Heart old age (14 3/4), Scooby mast cell tumor (11), Slick kidney tumor (14) So, you can see that there is a variety and all except Eliza were older. I have seen some people seem to end up with mulitple greys with the same medical problems. It is their specialty. Hurts sometimes. Not all osteo dogs are candidates for amputation. So, Bodie's mom, in answer to your questions and concerns: nothing is guaranteed. Even age isn't a factor--young doesn't mean they won't have cancer or some other dibilitating disease. I agree that the cost of osteo with amp and chemo is very expensive but so are some other diseases. I think all dogs have an increase in cancer and it is due to over vacinnating and use of pesticides. I think one of the things we can do, is talk about what will make our dogs healthier and preventative medicine. You do what you can do regarding treatment of any disease. Sometimes the choices are hard. I would not stop adopting greys because of the possibility of medical bills. Able to support should be a factor, but not everyone can have $20K in the bank to cover catastrophic bills!

Sending lots of prayers.

Well, some people got them and some people have not. There is no rhyme or reason as to the ones that have and have not. Usually from here, up east are quick and they seem to remain so. Last year wasn't too big a problem. This year is slow More than likely I will be sending everything else out fedex 3 day from now on.

There are a lot of packages I sent that are not scanned as delivered (sent out Monday!). If you have a slip to pick up a package, better get getting!
