HJsM Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Kelly, as I already told you, I am so sorry to hear this. The "watch" litter are all VERY SPECIAL doggies and it's not fair to have to think about losing him so young. I know you will do the best for him and let me know if I can help you with anything. Love from us.

NeylasMom Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I'm so sorry. I am going through this now too so I know what you are feeling. I thought exactly the same thing when I got the email from Dr. Couto - like I had been punched in the gut.

joejoesmom Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Kelly, I am so sorry that you are facing this. I suggest contacting Dr. Couto group at OSU for a second opinion. They will need copies of the xrays of the mass, lung xrays and results of any fine needle aspiration if it was done. You or your vet can email it to them if they are in digital form. I also have the OSU paper on bone cancer in greyhounds that I can email to you if you like. Just pm me with your email address. Phone and email consults are free of charge. Here is the info: 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 (registration and fee now required to get full access to this site) 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. They do 20 to 30 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...
