<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am so sorry to hear about Elvis. My boy
Nate was diagnosed with lung tumors early this year. We came to the same
decision that we will not put him through all of the tests, etc with his age and
the other health issues he already has. He began having a rather bad cough and
our vet put him on Hydrocodone and Theophylline which really made an improvement
and seemed to give him some comfort. She also recommended a supplement that she
said the Greyhound people were using for bone cancer called Artemisinin that has
been shown in some studies to reduce the size of tumors. Nate gets two 50
mg tabs a day. I have been giving it to him for a couple of months now
but have not had xrays done again to see if it is doing anything to
the tumors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish both you and Elvis the best. I'll ask
our other hounds to send some of their extra drool Elvis' s way
tonight.</FONT></DIV>
