How long did they culture? Doesn't sound like he was on antibiotics long enough, regardless if it was the correct one.

I know how you feel -- it's so hard. Hugs and I hope Betty Joan sends you someone, sooner rather than later

Thanks for letting us in on how special he is.
Sending my sympathy -- he's waiting....

How many times can a heart break?
My constant companion is gone. She made sure I took a good shower, properly scooped the yard and gave many kisses even though she knew I really didn't like them
I told her she & Huston could run and play and have fun.

I'd worm her no matter what the fecal shows. Panacur calms the gut in addition to getting rid of the worms.
We are doing the slow kill method on Gracie for hw and she is doing great! Actually, slow kill is really not what it is -- the worms in the heart finally die and you keep the littles from getting big. Started out with doxy for a month, hw meds every two weeks and it's been about 18 months now. Hopefully another 6 and she will be clear.

Many greyhounds drink a lot of water at one time -- comes from only getting water at turnouts.
Blood work looks fine. After the dental I'd try canned only (no raw, no kibble) for a few days and see how he does. The ingredients in W/D are awful (at least they took the peanut hulls out -- replaced it with powdered cellulose)
If he continues to throw up, I'd do allergy tests

Why does your vet think he will have a rough go of it? Remember, Huston was 13 when he had his thyroid surgery (2 of them) and did very well. Key is a great surgeon
What did the opthamologist (sp) say about recovery? (since he does more of these)

We're not planning on a prosthetic
Very glad to hear this. I did it once and never again.
Without a prosthetic he should heal fairly quick. Sending many prayers

He is truly a special guy
Do not go over the last night. You handled it well and you never know how osteo will go. I know people whose dog never limped and broke their leg walking in the yard.

At least she had good times with you. The broods are sometimes left without so thank you for opening your home and heart. -
I about fainted when I saw her name
Such a beautiful girl and one of the ones that seems to have been here forever.Sending my sympathy and hugs. How odd that she leaves the same month as her picture on the calendar. I've been enjoying her all month.

Start with boiled meat only, then add potatoes. If he is still with the D, worm him with panacur 5 days or
Easy, cheap test: buy some frozen BilJac and feed it only -- no treats, no nothing else. If he has loose stools or big D on it, you have a problem (most likely worms) There is some chicken in the frozen but its raw and I've never had a problem with it. If he straightens up, you know it's the food.

Why won't vets blame meds when they are to blame???

The most common side effects noted were vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea, lethargy, drinking more and gas (flatulence). Product is not approved for use in cats.

Do I get to meet him at GIG????

Try Solid Gold Holistique Blendz (might be a newish name now)

People are swearing by Burts Bee Salve. Keep putting it on and they fall off.

Eliza
in Remembrance
I knew it was time to come here again. How can it be SO hard after all this time? How can it still hurt so much.
Everything is the same except the year:
Do your research, read the product inserts, don't follow blindly on -- take some responsibility. Somehow making a choice even if it doesn't work out is better making it with knowledge than doing something in ignorance.
For the new people: when starting a NSAID, do blood work then follow up in two weeks, then in four weeks. If the platelets, kidneys and liver are ok, you can spread out the blood work. Don't cheap out on this. Had we done it with Eliza we could have saved her. Wanted to edit this and say: my vet did per Pfizer's protocol. She died before the second blood test.

She is cute!
