Hang in there. Hope you get lots more quality time. Hope the feeding change helps the vomiting. Hugs!

Glad it was something that can be fixed! I lost three to osteo. I know that fear!

A baggie with cling wrap! Good luck! Hoping for an easy recovery!

Hugs!

Glad he is back to having good days. Hope those continue. Thanks for the update!

I had two non eaters that did drink vanilla ensure. I was able to mix in a little meat or chicken at times, too.

Hope you can get answers.

Hoping for some good news!

Home is good!

Hugs!

Did she eat today?

Hope they figure it out soon!

Hugs!

Love my harness lead! So comfy for dog and hands. Easy on/off, can't back out of, comes in many colors, no buckles/snaps, and no lifting legs to put it on. I use the large size, but the smaller size gives you a shorter leash.

Awwww

How sad! Hugs!

Yay!

You could start a new topic asking if anyone with Greyhounds live near you. Just make sure you post your location in the title. Does she seem happy? She likes to interact with you on her terms? Comes to you for attention?

Hugs!

What are you putting on it? Is the bandage sticking to it when you pull it off? You need a non stick pad against the foot if you continue to wrap it. I agree that you should leave it open and let it dry up. My Mickey had SLO, and his quicks would dry up much faster when left unwrapped. Try leaving it open for a few days. Maybe try spraying it with Vetericyn several times a day. Good luck!

I've had three that presented just like yours. Several years ago, my eight year old had a minor limp that would come and go. He still appeared happy, ate well, and sometimes ran and played with the others. X-rays showed cancer all through his body, and the bones in his shoulder looked like Swiss cheese! My vet was amazed that he didn't show more discomfort than the little limp. I let him go that day. Last December, my nine year old presented with the same kind of limp. She also continued to play, run, and eat. X-rays showed a moth eaten shoulder, but nowhere as bad as the other dog. I took her home with lots of meds, but within three days I couldn't keep ahead of her pain, and let her go. In September, my eleven year old had an off and on limp in the back. X-rays showed a large tumor in the ankle area, and moth eaten bone in the hip. Again, I took her home. She lasted just one week. After that, i saw that look in her eye, even after I increased all the Meds. I had to let her go. It's sooo hard to do the right thing, but you sound like you feel that the right thing would be to free her from her pain. If you are at that point, make the arrangements for her, find someone to be a support for you, give her a great last day, and let her go. Your only other option is amputation, which is a personal decision, and may not be right for your dog. Recently, two people from my group had amps on their twelve year old dogs, and both are doing well. In January, I adopted a twelve year old tripod who runs and plays with my other dogs. She doesn't know that she only has three legs! She will be thirteen in a few weeks. I have no medical history on her, have no idea why or when she lost her leg. I just use this as an example of a happy dog with three legs. Whatever choice you make will be made out of love for your dog, and what will work best for your family. You need to make a decision and not look back. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for your decision. Do it soon! This is a horrible disease that causes extreme pain. I'm so sorry that you are facing this. Hugs!

Yay!

Great update!

Never even heard of some of these!
