joejoesmom Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Just wanted to make it easy for you to send stuff to Dr. Couto. Are you sure they don't have digital images from the ultrasound? They could email them if they do. OSU Greyhound Health and Wellness Program OSU College of Veterinary Medicine 601 Vernon Tharp Street Columbus, Ohio 43210 Phone: (614) 247-6757 or (614) 247-8490 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. Drs. Marin and Zaldivar typically respond to greyhound owners. Dr. Couto, Department Head, Greyhound Medicine, Oncolology and Hematology Dr. Lili Marin, Greyhound Health and Oncology Dr. Sara Zaldivar, Greyhound Health and Oncology Dr. William Kisselberth, Oncology Dr. Cheryl London, Oncology Dr. Cristina Iazbik, Blood Bank Director and Hematologist Dr. Bridget Urie, Oncology Resident Dr. Matt Sherger, Oncology Resident Dawn Hudson, Vet Tech Ashley DeFelice, Vet Tech Stacey Gallant, Vet Tech Drs Marin and Zaldivar are originally from Spanish speaking countries. If you have trouble understanding them over the phone, you might ask for one of the other vets or vet techs to “translate”. Dr. Couto's direct email is: couto.1@osu.edu His phone number is also 614-247-6757. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilysmom Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 5/21/10 update: I have emailed Dr. Couto, I still need to get copies of the xrays and other documentation, (will do that Saturday). Marx is still his normal lazy old man self. He will have surgery on May 27th to remove the what was left, he will be sedated so wider and deepber margins can be obtained. I want to have a full blood workup done as well as a complete TBD panel since his spleen is enlarged. I'll keep everyone posted. It's been a very rough 2 weeks and now with Lily's health issues we are really being tested...... like every other greyhoumd mommy & daddy you do what you have to do for your fur babies. Thanks everyone! Quote Praying for all the missing greys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilysmom Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Here is the reply I received from Dr. Couto (talk about quick, I just sent the email and 4:30 this morning, and he replied and 7:30!) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry to hear about your boy (I didn’t get his name). We will be more than glad to look at the Xrays and advise. We do see a fair number of Greyts with HSA, and they do respond well to treatment.I would hold off with the surgery, since he may need chemo (which should be nice and easy on him…), in which case there would be no need to put him (and you) through another surgery. The big spleen is a normal “Greyhound thing”. Please let me know -------------------------------------------------------------------------- so it looks like I will hold off on surgery until we confirm there is nothing wonky in his chest. How I hope and pray it's nothing...... Quote Praying for all the missing greys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 YES, Dr. Couto ROCKS, and I'd do whatever he advises for any of mine. That is good that he wants to wait on the surgery. Sending more love to you and Marx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissn333 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Greyhounds do have HUGE spleens...if you have any previous chest xrays of Marx, ask your vet to compare the two. Our old vet wanted to remove Ace's spleen because they thought it was enlarged It was NOT enlarged and in fact was the same size that it was in 2005. Turns out she has chronic lymphocytic leukemia, that's all. Easily treated. I hope the same goes for your Marx Quote Kristin in Moline, IL USA with Ozzie (MRL Crusin Clem), Clarice (Clarice McBones), Latte and Sage the IGs, and the kitties: Violet and Rose Lovingly Remembered: Sutra (Fliowa Sutra) 12/02/97-10/12/10, Pinky (Pick Me) 04/20/03-11/19/12, Fritz (Fritz Fire) 02/05/01 - 05/20/13, Ace (Fantastic Ace) 02/05/01 - 07/05/13, and Carrie (Takin the Crumbs) 05/08/99 - 09/04/13.
