My thoughts exactly!!!
So glad it isn't cancer. Just hope the doctors can figure out something for boy :)
Add me to the "Thank God it's not cancer!" list!
This is wonderful news, I just hope they can find out what to do for the Binxy boy:)
It's so funny, I was just going to pm you and ask if he'd been to see the dr yet, and look, here's the post answering my unasked question! Good luck with the visit today!!
And there could never be enough Binx:cool:
Not really humored today...
Well, I must admit, the visit with Dr. Auvil was a bit of a dissappointment. There doesn't seem to be a clear plan, just several, "well, we can try this...". I am afraid I lost my composure. I can't have Binx be a test object while the humans try to figure out what is going on. I relayed my huge concern to the vet, and told him I wanted to take things in my own hands...and wanted copies of his reports, photos, the lab's reports, etc. I think he was just taken aback, really. He told me that this one lab report place did these things complimentary, to the tune of $4,200, and wouldn't be giving a written report. I don't really understand that...free or not, why would providing a written report make any difference?
Dr. Auvil said I could meet with this human periodontist that he was consulting with, that has two human cases....and talk about the treatment he was using on them. I was amazed that I would meet with a human doctor, and not a vet. I was suprised that this wasn't being done with a vet...this guy would do Binx's surgery.
Then, I asked about getting into some sort of study...that if this is as rare as Dr. Auvil says...wouldn't some place like to get involved? He really didn't respond, or, maybe he didn't understand my point. He said I could go to Illinois, where there is some person I could consult with.
I am frustrated, and kind of straight mad that months later, we are still floundering. This can't be that rare!!!!! Any thoughts would be appreciated.
:(

Well, maybe it *is* that rare??
Scarey thought; but if well respected Dental Vets are stumped...
They're *sorta close* to you, and OSU
has a good reputation as a Vet School...
so start here >
Ohio State Univ ~ Vet School
The Big Question is how to get your (and Binx's) Feet In The Door...??
As I suggested once before ~
ASK Dr Auvil if he will permit You to correspond with some of the Vet Schools and use HIS Name when you contact them. Ask if you can act as his Personal Secretary and discuss Binx's Case more as a Vet's Assistant rather than The Patient's Mom. You might get a lot more help from the Schools and Vets; and Dr Auvil will be spared a lot of writing and phone calls.
As for communicating with a Human MD - go for it if the MD will talk to you.
Dogs DO share very similar illnesses with Humans.
And that expensive but un-written Lab Report?
That could be true... you might have to settle for Dr Auvil's notes on the verbal results he received. Hopefully he took some (notes) and will share everything with you.
Let us know if we can help!
More {{{HUGGS}}} !
How frustrating this must all be :(
I'm sorry to hear that they really don't know what to do about Binx's problem.
All I can say is we'll be wishing for the best for him (and you).

alex the wonder dog goes ther biyearly for a check up with the neurology professors and staff. they are excellent. the vet hospital phone # is 614-292-3551 ,line 1 in the phone tree. bring copies of the vets' chart, labs and surgical notes. because this is teaching hospital, be prepared to spend some time there. bring a book, the magazines are a bit tattered. parking and directions are easy. the vet hospital is next to the horse/cattle barns, alex loves the aroma and gets very excited when i pull in the lot (he keeps hoping....he really really wants to visit them......) hope this helps
