StridersSis Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) For those of you who have sent Xrays to OSU do you know (1) the cost and (2) how to contact Dr. C? Our vet is unsure if it's osteo or not but it doesn't appear to be good news for BeBe... I'm trying not to cry yet, because it's my moms baby girl, we've only had her about 16 months.

Guest Smiley Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I'm so very sorry to hear this. I know how scary this is and am sending you and your mom a big, big hug. That's the correct email and there is not a charge for an email or I believe phone consult. I just sent over Peanut's x-rays for a second opinion, but haven't heard back yet. He usually emails very early in the morning. When we went through osteo with Smiley we just did a very quick email consult and then met with him in person. I do know that others have had more lengthy telephone conversations if an appt. at OSU is not possible. I'll be keeping your mom's baby in my thoughts!

StridersSis Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 couto.1@osu.edu his team: greyhound@cvm.osu.edu I don't think there's any charge. Thank You, we (not so much me I have a stomach bug and paper due tomorrow, law school waits for no one) go pick her up in an hour and our vet put the xrays on a disc. We will email him tonight. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts. Leslie, we already talked to Michelle and let her know.

Dana- She started limping about 1.5-2 weeks ago, and we thought she just injured herself in the yard. Now she's full fledged hopping around on 3 legs Shes 4 turning 5 in 2 weeks....

Guest trevdog Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yikes! Do you know her track history? Did the vet rule out ligament/tendon damage and such? It's a little hard to tell in the slides whether it's the bone, but it does look like the area has something going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesmom Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I know Dr. Couto will be in town tomorrow (I don't know about today). I will be seeing him at Wednesday's Greyhound Clinic. No special worries, just a checkup for my old girls. Here is the standard information that I give out about contacting the OSU group: OSU Greyhound Health and Wellness Program: Phone: (614) 247-6757 Email: greyosu@osu.edu Website: http://www.vet.ohio-state.edu/GHWP.htm This email goes to the team. If Dr. Couto is traveling, you may get a quicker answer from one of his team members: Dr. Couto, Department Head, Greyhound Medicine, Oncolology and Hematology Dr. Lili Marin, Greyhound Oncology Dr. Sara Zaldivar, Greyhound Medicine Dr. Cristina Iazbik, Blood Bank Director and Hematologist Dr. Bridget Urie, Resident Dawn Hudson, Vet Tech Ashley DeFelice, Vet Tech Dr. Urie is from the United States. All of the other vets are originally from Spanish speaking countries. If you have trouble understanding them over the phone, you might ask for Dr. Urie or one of the vet techs to "translate". Dr. Couto's direct email is: couto.1@osu.edu His phone number is the same. If he is in town, he typically returns emails in the early hours of the morning. You should know that (in my humble opinion) they need more staff. Unfortunately finances do not permit it at this time. I think they do about 20 consults a day along with all of their "in canine" patients. There is no charge for phone/email consultations. Depending on their workload there may be a wait for the consultation. If you decide to visit OSU please contact me. I may be able to put you up in a local home, provide moral support, or just help with logistics: Finewhipador-drool@yahoo.com The main number for the veterinary hospital is 614-292-3551 Jane p.s. I see what you are referring to in the xray -- hopefully it is minor and treatable. Let us know when you hear back from Dr. C. My thoughts and prayers are with you and BeBe.
