Anybody used Dinobite for an older Dog? I have a 10 yr old Boxer that is in good shape, but we had a large cist or tumor removed from his side and a growth from his ear last year. Looks like he may have more growths on his rear and I heard that stuff will cure all kinds of things.

 
About a year ago, maybe a little longer, one of the cat's eyes turned to a dark brown color. My mom took her to the vet who said it was just a pigment change. I didn't believe her so I took her to my vet who checked to make sure the eye wasn't scratched and said it was fine.

This past week my mom noticed some significant changes in the eye prompting her to take the cat back to my vet. The cat has a tumor on the iris and glaucoma. They prescribed her some pain meds. The next step is to get a chest X-ray done to see if the cancer has spread. I'm taking her to have that done tomorrow. If it has spread I don't think there is anything they can do, otherwise they can remove the eye and infected tissue.

 
Cobalt, this beautiful brindle boy, passed away last night :(

His blood work didn't indicate anything unusual, and after his neutering surgery, he began suffering internal bleeding. They thought they had it under control, and he started bleeding internally in his chest as well, and they weren't able to save him. They believe he has some sort of tick-born disease, but they had some pretty heavy hitters in the Greyhound community getting involved in this one, and it's got them stumped. I believe they're going to perform a necropsy and have it sent to Dr. Couto at Ohio State for evaluation if they can't make a determination.

 
Just through the same adoption group. That picture doesn't do him justice, he was absolutely gorgeous.

 
Twice my youngest son has left the door to the rabbit cage open and twice our cat has killed my daughters rabbit...

At least I am out of the rabbit business but I am not looking forward to telling my daughter when she gets home tonight..

Sad story. But a stunning resemblance to our pooch (Sadie). Humane Society claims she is a shepherd/collie mix. I claim BS on the Collie part but I can see the shepherd though. We are thinking possibly some form of whippet or pitbull mixed in there. But seeing the pic of Cobalt has me leaning toward whippet again. Not to mention how fast she is on a full out sprint.

Our cat kills wild rabbits and eats only the heads.. Makes no sense to me.. I figured they would eat the delicious looking thighs?

 
Took the cat to the vet today and the X-ray showed that the cancer has not spread beyond the eye. Made an appt with the specialist for in 2 weeks.

When I was in college, our cat would catch a bird and just leave the head and feet laid out at the door as our 'present.' The joke was he ate all the good stuff and left us what he didn't like.

Funny thing was he always laid the head and feet out so they were where they would be oriented normally on the bird, So it looked like a bird laying down with a cloak of invisibility covering everything but his feet and head.

 
Supe: how old was Cobalt?

RG: that's got to be tough telling your daughter about the rabbit. sorry to hear it.

Krak: good luck with your cat. Hope it doesn't put too much strain on the budget.
