Stereotactic radiation may be an option for you.

Does she have an ear infection?

Just attended a lunch and learn..topic was Proheart12...I asked a lot of questions to the veterinarian lecturing. The Dr knew all about the problems with hookworm resistance, larva leak etc especially in the racing greyhounds... He claimed that the Proheart12 injection is a viable option to be used. He was pretty adamant it will be a successful treatment option.

Might try famotidine

Try either a low residual diet (For example raw) or just the opposite-higher fiber. Also try to feed lower fat...fat is hard to digest and often the culprit of soft stools. Your vet should be recommending a script food at this point. Honestly I would ask to try Hills W/D...comes canned and dry. Feed it solely..no treats or snacks until you can constantly see normal stools for a few feeds then, slowly transition to an otc food. Keep in mind if the w/d helped you may need to find a lower fat, higher fiber otc food. Personally I like the Purina line.

Did you run a tick panel?

The prednisone will be a double edge sword. It will make her drink more and will make her urinate more however if there is a tumor it should help shrink the tumor.

So glad it sounds like she’s feeling better. Symptoms can wax and wane..nsaids can reduce swelling and antibiotics can help as often there’s an infection associated with a mass, however they can only help symptoms temporarily. I completely understand your reluctance to sedate your baby again. Honestly, if she was my girl I would continue to monitor for now.

I have to mention this because it’s in my background. I’ve worked in an MRI advanced imaging center and sadly I’ve seen these symptoms caused by a nasal tumor invading the brain. I’m kind of surprised the neurologist did not wanna do an MRI, was that mentioned to you?

Did you get x-rays done? Next step would be to perform abdominal ultrasound. Once you get the results maybe you can post the liver values? One thing you can do to get her appetite up just ask your vet about prescribing entyce.

Galipriant should be given with or without food but, the clinic I work for always states to give without food as they feel it’s more effectively absorbed given on an empty tummy-perhaps your vet feels differently. I know that differs from all of the other nsaid instructions.

Gabapentin should be the med of choice. If you absolutely need to add another drug then I would try a course of galliprant. An iliopsoas strain is painful and rest is a must. Remember to give galipriant on an empty tummy.

If you’re giving the 50mg/ml dose of pyrantel 10mls is a heavy dose. Usually you give 1ml/10lb body weight. So, if your hound is 70lbs you would give 7mls. 10ml would treat a 100lb dog. You will still need to give panacur as part of a hookworm de-worming protocol. You will also need to apply monthly Advantage as part as the protocol. There’s lots of info out there about greyhounds and hookworms- they’re a real pita to treat but, with persistence they can be beat. Congratulations on your new adoption!

There are many types of cataracts and some cataracts are caused by underlying medical conditions. I absolutely would follow through with the ophthalmologist.

Black fly, no-see-um bite..self resolving.

Oh no... Scout gave so many such hope in the fight of cancer.

Oh my goodness-I’m terribly sorry :-(

I would ask about any new trials you may be able to get her in or if he knows of any other immunotherapy treatments that may be available. She’s beautiful—all the best. Damn that cancer.

I don’t believe that’s even been documented

Booked solid for the next century. Found a deal and booked at Country Inn. Still not sure I can attend (starting new job next week) but, I can cancel if need be.

Just checked the Quality Inn on York-AAA price is $99/nt (pet fee is another $10/nt). I love the Country Inn I just can’t justify $230/nt

Nothing in stone.... if I book a room I need to make sure I can cancel last minute.

Anyone book at County Inn and Suites? I’ve stayed there for the last few years and always found it a lovely place to stay....was just quoted $198/night plus $30/night non-refundable pet fee. Guess I need to rethink my choice of lodging.

Check for Lyme disease. Carpal (wrist) pain is not an uncommon symptom.
