You might have a better result if you took the whole toe rather than just the last joint - I just went through this with Romi, and that's the advice I got for him here. His was the inner- most toe, so not a weight bearing toe, and after doing pathology on it, they found it was squamous cell cancer, so I'm really glad we took the whole thing off. Low rate of mets, so we should be just fine. They really do well afterwards.

That's quite a shock, I'm very sorry to hear the news. Hannah has a good Mom who loves her, I believe that's the most important thing for getting through a diagnosis like this. Sending many prayers to you both.

I think you should consider doing a tick panel with that lab in the states. A lot of his symptoms really fit TBD. Check out this thread.

Run free at the bridge sweetheart. What a precious girlie she was. My deepest sympathies to you on her loss.

Welcome to GT!

Sending more prayers for our beloved Hobbes.

I would love to send you some of our liver treats, aka doggie crack, but I don't think it would get past the border, unfortunately. Sending warm gentle hugs to you both, and know that anyone who loves their greyhound as much as you do could never make the wrong decision. It's just a rough patch. :grouphug

Well, we just went through the whole "keep the tongue off the foot" thing with Romi, who had his toe amputated. We sprayed with colloidal silver and left it open for the air to get at, which helps the most with healing. I had to resort to a muzzle with tape on it to keep him from licking it, but it's healed up beautifully with this protocol. If you wrap it up, it won't heal. You could try a cotton sock, it would let at least some air in while protecting it. But we really have found it's best to let the air at it and keep it clean.

Sending many prayers.

I used Batmom's design, it has worked great here, the steps have lasted 2+ years so far. I made the mistake of using a bungy cord for the handle, and it's worn out now, so I should have used rope as she suggested.

She's looking much improved! When Lou had his surgery (not an amputation but an FOE) he was solid bruising from his hips down both his legs, there are pics in my album. I used Traumeel on it where I could, and it was truly miraculous the difference - it took the swelling down and the bruising faded very quickly where I'd applied it. I would recommend the gel rather than the cream.

Sending many prayers for you both.

Sending hugs to you and gentle scritches to Polli.

Beautiful girlie!

What a great checkup!

We feed whole prey/frankenprey, for example tonight they each had a turkey wing, an egg, and some tripe mix. For treats they get either dehydrated liver or dehydrated lung. It's like crack to them lol.

I've had 5 hounds, 4 are still with me. My first boy Cody died, bled to death in my arms, the vet thinks he may have burst an anueryism. He was six. We've been very fortunate here, I have 2 soon to be 11 year olds, and 2 - 8 year olds, and no cancer. However, 1 has a very suspicious swelling on his toe, he's going for an amputation of the toe on Wednesday. The only good thing about it is we know it's crossed the joint in his toe, so that means it's not OS.

Sending healing thoughts to your beautiful Polli.

Welcome!

Sending healing thoughts to Riley.

I'm so very sad to hear this news. Hugs to you Bonnie. Run free without pain at the bridge, Coby bear, with all of our angels.

Sending lots of love, strength and peace for you.

He's likely working from the Budwig protocol. If you google it, you'll get a ton of hits. I'm trying it here with a friend's grey who has hemangiopericytoma, too soon to tell yet if there's any change. Sending healing soothing thoughts to you and Faye. Budwig protocol
