HopeForHounds

Kyle my heart is breaking for you and Lynn. : Godspeed gorgeous Jack.

Miz Foxy had hemangiopericytoma, it's actually what brought us to GT, I knew NOTHING about cancer.. Her's was on the side of her front leg just below her elbow, she did not have clear margins. Since then I've become all too familiar with cancer in greyhounds. We did the watch and wait route as Dr Couto's treatment was in it's early stages and not being offered. Foxy was diagnosed 4 months before her 10th birthday and passed away 4 months before her 14th birthday. Since starting Hope for Hounds and learning far more than I ever wanted to know about cancer I've been really impressed with the protocol Dr Couto provides. It may never come back, but the worry is always there. I know that had it been available after Foxy's surgery, we would have tried it. Keeping you and Kebo in my thoughts.

Sending prayers and healing thoughts that our good friend Dr Couto and his team can figure this out for Kato.

Another vote for gabapentin. Jake would be unable to walk if he didn't take it. Daddy proved that when he forgot to pick it up from the pharmacy when I went away in March. 2 days without left Jake barely able to stand. 1 dose of gabapentin and he was standing, second dose meant he could walk again. Jake also gets a shot of Cartrophen every 3 - 4 weeks. Since that isn't available in the US (at least it wasn't in January) Adequan is very similar. Jake has oops poops way less often for about 2 - 3 weeks after his shot. I have no experience with depomedrol as it is contraindicated for Jake as he has an autoimmune disease. Do you use an assist harness? Jake wears his 24/7 he really doens't need it most of the time, but it makes helping him when he can't get up the steps, or simply can't get up, really easy.

I'm so sorry Nancy. Godspeed Alibi

Judy I am so sorry. Know I am thinking about you and that Bruiser is in my prayers. I so wish the results had been something else.

Celebrate wildly gorgeous boy.

I'm so sorry Wendy and Kevin. I know you and the pups will miss him terribly. Godspeed Rocky

Thanks Jeff.

I give up, your turn. Support ticket sent.

I'm so sorry Deb and John. I know your heart is aching right now.

I'd muzzle just incase, but it may be no more than Zola knowing something you don't. Keep a close eye on the wound. Mine have alerted me to infections before they were noticeable by me.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years already. I think because she was such a huge personality and a GT favourite keeps her stories circulating, in turn it feels like she's still here. Loca stories always make me smile! Robin

Welcome to you and to your very handsome brindle boys.

What a beautiful girl! Welcome!

My heart sank when I saw the word Flare. Praying this is short lived and Beau is back to his normal self quickly. Hugs to you and Rich, I know what it's like to live on a roller coaster and flare ups drive me mad. to you all.

I changed computers and I still can't change it.

Exactly, so why do I get that Oops message when I try to put a new siggie link in or even when I just remove the blank line. In other words it won't let me change a darn thing. Ideas? Okay, I cleared my cache again and this time all I tried to change was the font size of the last line. Still no dice!

Jake can't have the depo shots as it's a steroid and he has TBD that while we have it under control we haven't dured it. So we give Cartrophen shots (similar to adequan) once a month, but the thing that has helped the most IMO is gabapenten. Jake gets 300mg in 3 100mg doses a day. He accidentally went without any for a few days when I was away and DH for some reason got things screwed up Jake couldn't even get himself up and moving. After only 2 doses of gabapenten he was back to normal.

I've run into the same problem. I only tried to change the siggie link left everything else the same. Then I took the siggie link out completely and took out the space between the bottom two lines of text, so 3 lines of text only. Still get that Oops message. I've cleared my cache numerous times and still get that message. Help!

where can you get this from? edited to add: how is it different from locally made honey? or packaged honey (from major food stores)? I use raw honey for wound healing. I was skeptical at first, but was amazed at how it helped heal a bad foot wound that Jake had. I couldn't find manuka honey so I bought unpasturized "raw" honey in the organic section of the grocery store.

Thanks for this idea. It sounds just wild enough to work! I will check out the link you included in your post and talk to the vet about it. Thanks again! Celia and George Wild indeed. They even mention corns. I'm going to give this a try.

done

Happy Mother's Day!! Wishing the other babies a happy long life.

There are links above you can read. I have had laser therapy at my chiropractor/massage clinic. I found when I was having the laser treatments on my shoulder and neck I didn't need regular massage. Adjustments were fewer too I am guessing because I wasn't hunching my shoulders due to pain.
