Guest Greytdog00 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'll be filling out this form for Scrappie. She had a nerve sheath tumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 I see you just lost her? Where was the nerve sheath tumor? Sending my sympathy..... Yes, please fill it out. I think there are more nerve sheath tumors than anyone expects. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greytdog00 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Scrappie's tumor was located between C6 & C7. She came to Dewey with us and had fun. The vet gave her 3 months and she made it 3 months and 8 days. At Dewey her tumor wasn't noticable. Within the last 3 weeks of her being here, her tumor grew so fast and it was as large as a baseball on her neck when we put her to sleep on Saturday. We lost Sammie on 5/21 of this year but no one was able to tell us what Samantha had.... we were told she had an idiopathic neurolgical autoimmune disease....

greytdecals Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) How do you find out how many races your hound ran? We really don't know? Also, I will fill out the form after Miss Nellie's first chemo treatment because we don't know what type of chemo Dr. Couto will be using?

Burpdog Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) Sometimes it is listed on the Data pedigree site.

Guest nerak254 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I don't know if these studies are related, but the University of Minnesota is doing an Osteocarcoma(sp) study. They are doing a small blood draw and are maping DNA. They would especially like littermates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I believe their study is for all breeds. The study Dr. Couto will be doing is for greys. I think all studies are important! Wouldn't hurt to check out the above one Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lynda Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I think I filled out a cancer study at the Thera-Paw site. Is this the same study. If not, I'll definately fill this one out too. We lost our little sweethear, Jeff, to cancer of the liver/spleen this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Depends on whether they linked it or not. I can go look It appears it was a survey they did by themselves.

Guest Sniffy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I was approached about a similar study when Twiggy was in for treatment, but was not allowed to participate b/c Twiggy has no racing history or pedigree. But I just filled out this survey in case it's a different study.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too lost my greyt to osteo on the spine. It was horrible. I hope this will help save so many more. It's funny, we thought we saved them from racing but I know that we saved our Sara twice before we lost her. Why do these wonderful beauties have to have it so hard?? I think I filled out a cancer study at the Thera-Paw site. Is this the same study. If not, I'll definately fill this one out too. We lost our little sweethear, Jeff, to cancer of the liver/spleen this month. I'm so sorry for you. Believe me, I know how you're feeling. We lost our Sara to a tumor on the spine in December. It is hard to stop thinking about it. These poor greyts have it so hard in life but they are so lucky to have been loved by people like you. Good luck to you.

Figma Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I hope I never have to fill that form out but glad Dr. Couto is doing this research. I would hope someone is also doing pedigree studies. I don't see that a copy of a pedigree is included. This could certainly help to determine if it is more prevelant in some lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
