Stop the metacam. Did you do blood work when you started it? If she is getting sick from metacam, I would not try any NSAID. They all have the same side effects.

Please give them my sympathy

A vet suggested it. I have had numerous discussions regarding platelet counts with vets. I personally believe this guideline was a result of "not good" breeding or chronically comprised greyhounds who had tick diseases. These guidelines were established in Texas as a result of a vet who was also a greyhound racing breeder. It's a major issue with me. I have seen my greys have lower platelet counts and when put on doxy, see those platelets come up to reasonable levels. There is something we are not seeing or allowing for. When you have a greyhound with lower platelets and brusing, that to me is a serious issue and I'd have them on doxy and do a tick panel. I find it interested that many of the older greys I've had have higher platelet counts than the younger ones. Many of my older (meaning in the past and they were old) except for my first two greys, have had platelet counts of over 200,000.

I think every greyhound should have a tick panel done. Suggest Protatek. They have a greyhound rate and it's affordable. I refuse to "allow" my guys to have low platelets. 150,000 is "my" cut off.

Poor girl. In addition to grain free, try something besides chicken.

You should read what Dr. Feeman has to say about listening to greyhound hearts. I'll find it and post it later. The way their heart beats it may sound like a murmur but really is not.

Have you done a tick panel on him at Protatek?

Sending lots of prayers! Poor girl

I feel like I've known him forever! I guess it's been 7 years....sending my sympathy and Very young....

What can I say? Sending my sympathy. I know how much it hurts.

Good news!!! Carolyn: I hope your pudding poops are all in the past :lol

Have you done a tick panel at Protatek?

yes many of them

Have you tried supplements from Springtime and add some tramadol for a bit? Acupuncture and chiropractic will help. Do you know if you have any certfied practioners close?

Sending my sympathy. Reading your description of her made me think of my Heart. I know you will miss her.

That is bizzare. Platelets are imparative and is what you should check in addition to liver & kidney function. Remember, Eliza went into IMHA from rimadyl (and she had baseline blood work). Our mistake was not rechecking in two weeks. Many vets here have changed their protocol due to her death.

None of what you listed is used for a guideline for starting a NSAID. What is his RBC, HCT, WBC & PLT?

How sad Sending my sympathy

I emailed Dr. Feeman and he said it's important that we get the mfg & kind and also whether vaccines were administered the same day. We need to figure this out!

Sending lots of prayers!

Information on reporting, adverse reactions: Adverse Reactions

that are causing these reactions? We need to find out so we can tell our vets. My questions: which vaccines were given when the seizures occurred? Which brand(s)? Was more than one vaccine given?
