Guest FrankieWylie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I couldn't search it because it was only 3 letters. Is it Oklahoma? Ohio? Waaaaay north in Ontario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FrankieWylie Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thank you! If I have the option of sending thyroid test to OSU or MSU which should I choose? My vet reccoend MSU because of their endo work, but I had never heard it mentioned here until I just looked at some thyroid threads. He wasn't aware of a greyhound specific program at OSU and asked which one it was. So thank you....because I didn't know either :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascalsmom Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Can't answer that. However when I had a cat with bladder stones, they sent them to Michigan to be analyzed. I'm sure others can answer your question though. Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13. Jack (BTR Captain Jack) 9/28/05--11/2/12Always missing Buddy, Ruby, and Rascal.

tbhounds Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You should send the sample out to MSU for a complete thyroid panel (ask for the interpretation too). Ohio State does have a greyhound health and wellness program. https://greyhound.osu.edu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudzu Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) MSU is usually the lab of choice. The other option is Dr Dodds: http://hemopet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=39 ETA: The blood work we've run on Venus has been sent to IDEXX who sent it out to MSU.

Guest WhenIGiveIn Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 MSU is the norm for bloodwork. OSU is more cancer focused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesmom Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) I just wanted to say that OSU is more than cancer. They have a hematologist (Dr. Iazbik) who specializes in greyhounds. They also have a general practice vet who sees only greyhounds. Of course this is in addition to all of the cancer specialists. That being said, I believe that most greyhound docs recommend MSU (most common around here by far!) and Dr. Dodds for Thyroid testing. The greyhound group at OSU recommends using MSU. MSU has the ability to perform a free T4 by equilibrium dialysis. Be sure to get the full panel, including TSH. Here is the link to the greyhound program at OSU: https://greyhound.osu.edu/ And here is the link to the OSU document on Greyhound Blood Values. There is a section on Thyroid values: https://greyhound.os...bwork/index.cfm And an article on thyroid values in greyhounds: http://www.vet.ohio-state.edu/assets/pdf/hospital/bloodBank/wellness/newsletters/2010/ghwpNewsletterWinter2010.pdf Jane Edited October 6, 2012 by joejoesmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
