Guest KRKWMU Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I've never been into chanting, white light, and good thoughts & prayers like I have been the past couple of months with Bonnie. The power of GT amazes me! It really can make a difference (for the hounds and for us too!). I'll be chanting along for Happy. Your "fence fund" comment cracked me up. We had a "master bathroom remodel" fund that's now out the window. It will be worth it for both of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xan Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, who needs fencing or Master Bathrooms, right? That's what leashes and outhouses are for! Thanks, y'all, for keeping up the chanting, etc!! She has two tiny stitches from the punch biopsy they did, and I didn't even notice them 'til last night! They must smart, but she hasn't made a peep or paid them any attention, so maybe not too bad. And, her appetite has NOT been affected! I have to work in a noisy gym this afternoon, so if they call with the good news I hope I can at least feel my phone vibrate!

Xan Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well, mixed bag of possibilities. Let's start with the Cheerio. Radiologist (hereafter referred to as R ) says s/he's not too interested in it. Could be a "normal variation for a greyhound." I want to ask more about that, but we moved on... In the mean time, let's call that a cautiously excited yeay. R noticed her heart looked a bit large, but she was a racer: not worried there, either. The shoulder joint calcification also wasn't interesting to the R. No further thoughts there. The fusion in the tarsal joint: R thought it looked "relatively quiescent", meaning shouldn't be a source of pain or lameness. The vet disagreed to the extent that he observed that there was a distinct temperature difference there, and she clearly turns that foot out, and doesn't want to put full weight on it. So, a controversy, there. So, the big question comes last. R was "suspicious of a narrowing" in the C4-5 cervical gap, meaning there might be some pressure on the spinal cord there. The obvious risk is that it might rupture at some point, if there is a significant and degenerative issue there. Symptoms could include lameness on the same side, a degree worse in the rear, which does approximate her problem. :/ We're to try a 10 day trial of a low dose of Rimadyl twice a day. If she shows improvement, it's probably the hock bothering her, because the neck problem would take much more to affect it. Histopathology was not in on the rash, so we're still waiting to hear about that. Poor old gal! Well, at least the Cheerio chant seems to have worked!

turbotaina Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Well, hey, that doesn't sound too bad at all. I wonder if chiro would help the neck or if it's too delicate for that? My neighbor's greyhound has a cervical disc issue and chiro helps her a lot. You can also look into acupuncture Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

Xan Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, that's true. I'm making a list of things I forgot to ask for when he calls back with the histology report, and will add that.
