Tallgreydogmom Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) https://greyhound.osu.edu/ Due to limited resources, we will be discontinuing our GHWP website and consultation services, effective January 1, 2014. We will continue to provide valuable GHWP information via a new section on the VMC website (www.vet.osu.edu/vmc). Much of the information found on the current GHWP will be relocated to this site. We are pleased to share the following services will continue to be offered in 2014: • Free carboplatin (chemotherapy) for retired racers with osteosarcoma who are under the care of a board-certified oncologist. • Financial assistance for medical and surgical care of Greyhounds provided at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center. • 4 Legs 4 Hounds (4L4H) program – A program that works collaboratively with two racetracks in West Virginia to provide a second chance to Greyhounds incurring a career-ending racing injury. The Ohio State University Veterinary College's Greyhound student group, Buckeyes 4 Greyhounds, insures these injured dogs are transported and receive the specialty care needed at the Ohio State Veterinary Medical Center, in addition to providing the much-needed foster care.

And when the Day comes, God will call the Greyhound to give Testament, and God will pass judgment on man. (Persian Proverb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lynne893 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you for sharing this information. Though I only consulted with Dr. Couto once several years ago, it was such a priceless, valuable service. What a shame. I still made a donation today (as I've done every year) directed to the Greyhound Health and Wellness Program at OSU, and I hope that they will indeed continue to provide free chemotherapy.
