  1. Hello All,

     

    A friend of mine just came back from Europe and brought me back some Antibiotic cream to use on my hounds that he says is very good. The name of the cream is Mibazon. I have never heard of it before and have not been able to find much information on it.

    Have any of you heard of it or used it. I do not want to use it without more information.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks

     

    Larry

  2. BJ I'm so sorry for what you have been going through.

     

    You give a wonderful tribute to Major. He was a very lucky boy to have you and Black Jack.

     

    I send hugs to you and hugs and scritches to Black Jack.

     

    Wish I could do more.

  3. Hi Liz,

    Spindle cell tumor is a somewhat generic name for a group of tumors that arise from connective tissue. Was this diagnosed by FNA? Often this type of tumor can't be further classified on FNA and require a tissue biopsy. Hemangiopericytoma, as others have mentioned, is one subtype of spindle cell tumor. Many of them are slow growing and don't metastasize and can just be removed. There are more malignant varieties (example fibrosarcoma) but this is probably less common and it is actually easier to make that diagnosis on FNA alone.

    Thank you. Yes, our vet did a FNA. The tumor grew rather quickly.

  4. Jeff & Trudy,

    Larry and I send our deepest condolences. Ryan was a very lucky boy. With you he had a life of adventures most humans never will have. You gave him your love and devotion. May your memories of your beautiful boy help you through this time. Hugs to the both of you and scritches to the furkids.

  5. Oh Geez Robin. A year already. Loca is still with you and always will be. She certainly was a special girl. The best greeter ever, next to my little Cordal of course.

     

    Treasure certainly will never replace Loca but I'm pretty sure Loca had a hand in her picking you for her mom.

     

    Greyt big hugs to you, Treasure and Phene!

  6. Lucy - I'm so sorry. I remember meeting you and Riley at Dewey years back at a house party. What a beautiful boy he was. I remember those ears. He was so lucky to have had such a wonderful life full of adventures with you.

     

    Beautiful pictures and a wonderful tribute.

     

    My heart goes out to you.

  7. I'm so happy for you, Eric, Measure and his new brothers and sister. They all get along so well. Measure fit right in immediately. No hound could find a better, more loving home than yours.

     

    It is fortunate that you have such a big yard. Walking with high prey greys isn't an issue for you at all so there is absolutely nothing to worry about as far as other animals goes.

     

    I'll be over tonight with some extra scritches and lovin' for Measure (and the rest too of course)

     

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

    I really hope she had people with her this past year who understood and gently helped her move on.

     

    Kiss all the babies for us Maria.....

     

    :f_white

     

    Diane, you can rest easy about Maria. Her son Shawn sent me the email Robin posted and I posted it on our local boards for those who knew her . She had given him instructions to keep a few of us updated on her condition.

     

    Shawn left his job and moved to be with his mom. Shawns son is heart-broken as he was very close to his grandma. She had many friends who took the time to visit her.

     

    There was a wonderful Memorial Service for her attended by many, many people.

     

    A wonderful man took care of her hounds for her all the time she was sick and as far as I know he will now be their new 'dad'.

     

    I miss Maria deeply, our emails and phone calls and vending with her. She made the most beautiful greyhound coats. She was a truly remarkable lady who worked tirelessly for the greyhounds.

     

    Maria was also a greyt support to me when Geniene was ill.

     

    I miss you Maria, kiss Earl and Nimby for me please.

     

    Liz

  9. Jan,

    I'm typing through tears. I'm sorry your precious Bailey got taken by the dreaded disease known to too many of us here. I'm hoping Nimby and Earl were at the bridge to meet her.

     

    I'm thankful for the pleasure of knowing Bailey. She was an absolute sweetheart.

     

    My prayers to you, Dave and Ben.

     

    Hugs,

    Liz

  10. We had something similar with Dante. His started in his back leg and soon graduated to the other and up his groin and belly. He was so swollen the blood was seeping through his skin on his leg. He was bruised too. He seemed to be in no distress or pain. Our vet was also baffled and referred us to OVC. After a couple of days there and many tests, they too couldn't find an actual cause. They think it was possibly a) some kind of spider bite or B) burst blood vessels.

     

    He was not on any medications at all so it wasn't meds that caused this. He was tested for VW and many, many other disorders.

     

    They ran more tests and sent him home with some meds. Two days after he was home it was almost completely gone. When the vet called us 4 days later with the test results it was gone - she was mystified.

     

    So it is still a mystery. But it hasn't affected him in any way - he's still a Dufus!! LOL

  11. Patricia, I hadn't been on today and didn't know about your sweet Cowboy until Tina told me tonight. I am so sad for you and Mike. I know you are both devestated.

     

    Please, call when you can and we will get together. I'm here for you and Mike as always.

     

    Hugs to you both. Give Dallas a scritch and hug and Emily too.

     

    Run Free Sweet Cowboy. We will miss you.

     

    Liz, Larry, Chris and Madison

    Cordal and Dante

  12. Diane, I'm just seeing this now! I'm soooo sorry. Dodge fought so hard and you were fighting right along beside him. He was a very lucky boy to have you as his mom.

     

    Run Free Sweet Dodge.

    Hugs to you Diane.
