Burpdog Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 They can get a pedigree from the tatoos, and yes a genetic pedigree will be done. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figma Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks, Burpdog!! Hope they are able to go back at least 4-5 generations, if possible. I know one side of our Grey's pedigree is blank. It's a LOT of work but can definitely help when trying to track genetic issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 3greys Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Burpdog - Is it too late to submit a survey? If not we will fill out the form once we get some more information. Edited July 22, 2006 by 3greys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest greymomof2 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I am new to Greytalk. I am blessed with two wonderful greyhounds (both girls). This week my 9 year old suddenly fell sick. One night while I was making their dinner, my Cassidy let out a yelp that scared the heck out of me! Sometimes she can be a bit of a "drama queen" as greyhounds usually are, but this was different. She seemed to have pain in her neck. My vet put her on Tramadol for the pain and Zubrin for the inflamation. That same night after we got home from the vet, Cassidy developed a "turkey neck". The following day, the right side of her face was very swollen. I thought perhaps she had a bad tooth and got an infection from that. Off to the ER we went! Turns out that my girl has fluid in the sack around her heart. Ultra sounds were done and they saw a mass at the base of her heart. We have an appt to see the Cardiologist this week to get an ECK and find out if we have to deal with cancer or something else. The medical diagnosis is as follows: Enlarged Medial Retropharyngeal Lymph Node, Pericardial Effusion, possible right atrial mass, Peritoneal Effusion. This came on sooo sudden. Cassidy has not shown any symptons of a problem until the pain in the neck then sudden swelling. I wanted to post our problem to see if anyone else has experienced this. I didn't think greyhounds were prone to heart problems. Obviously I was wrong. If you have any experience or knowledge of our problem, I would be greytful to hear from you. Thank you for listening.

Guest EmbersDad Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 my vet has been in contact with Dr Vilar at OSU and Ember will be participating in their study in order to get the chemo drugs supplied. we are just waiting for the pathology report which is due in a day or 2 and then they are insisting the first round of chemo will not happen until her stitches come out in a week and a half. i am assuming this relevant info will be supplied by my vet?

RobinM Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would imagine, Tom. Polli had her 1st round the day after amp. The next one will be Nov. 3 supplied by OSU. My vet is the go between and giving all the info needed. They need to give the clinical info which we don't have.

I am happy to submit info if it will help Ranger or any dogs in the future!! I'd also like to know if it is still ongoing. We have a biopsy scheduled for Monday for our sweet, beautiful 13-yr-old boy Tanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest preciouspaws1 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sorry to bother you but just wanted to ask really if the information you need is about only greyhounds or is it about all breeds, as luckily my greyhounds are healthy and have not been touched by cancer yet! (i hope they never have to) but i had an English Springer spaniel who died of cancer in 2006 and it was the worse time of our lives, i am real glad the doctor is looking in to this terrible disease as it is taking far too many animals now and it needs to be investigated to prevent any more of our special little babies from being taken from us by this horrible disease, Thank you very much for your time I really hope i can help you with your investigation, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
