woolfy Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Need some help here from anyone who had there grey diagnosed with Melanoma. We just found out yesterday that one of our kids has it. We found a lump on her right rear leg behind her knee. They got all it out and next week were going to have her lymph nodes checked to see if it got in there. The prognosis is guarded to fair from the report. If you could share your story on what all to except it would be helpful. Woolfy Edited January 22, 2008 by woolfy Quote Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent.

grey14me Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 PM Patricia, her girl Lacey Laine had it, and even though it was quite big, they got it all and I believe she never got another one...

Rickiesmom Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There was an article about treating this in a recent issue of Whole Dog Journal - you can probably get a copy online. In addition, in the Winter issue of Celebrating Greyhounds Dr. Feeman talks about an experimental treatment for melanomas. Not advocating either solution, just sources of information to consult.

Guest CyndiW Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I thought I remembered reading something about a melanoma vaccine that is being used for dogs with a very high success rate. Maybe I am not remembering the details correctly but I always thought it was interesting because they called it a vaccine but it is used after the dx.

ahicks51 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Conditional approval for Merial's canine melanoma vaccine. This is a therapeutic vaccine, not prevention- which means if your dog had or has melanoma, this vaccine is for them.
