In the past when soaking Nadir's paw I would put on a Pawz boot and fill it up with the salt water solution.

Today is a tough one for me too. You've put together such a beautiful memory box for him. Gentle hugs to both you and Ryder.

This is what I was thinking. It was the best day of his life when they chose a house in a gated community over him.

My sympathies are with you. I too am greyhoundless for the first time after 11 years. Ruby was very lucky to be loved by a family like yours.

I am so very very sorry for you, your husband and Ajax.

She was such a beautiful girl. I'm so sorry cancer forced you to say goodbye.

I'm glad you're taking Ajax in for an MRI. I wish I had done that in the very beginning when the vet Chase was seeing at the time suspected LS. The cancer and aortic thrombus might have been caught earlier and something could have been done. Hugs and best wishes for you and Ajax.

I miss him so much and hate to see any of the other names here, but Chase left in some very special company this month. Hugs to all.

I'm really sorry to see Sunny added to this list. I've always enjoyed the pictures you've shared of your walks with him.

It wasn't that he wasn't seeing a vet after that incident. After being summarily dismissed by my regulsr vet I started taking him for chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture and laser therapy based on the assumption of LS. All things I shouldn't have been doing when cancer is present. I'm glad at least that I had plenty of tramadol and gabapentin for him. I did find a vet though toward the last few months of his life that I feel really good about using in the future. He was extremely understanding of Chase's fears and did his best to always make sure we didn't have to wait out in the lobby. I also liked that he sent x-rays to a board certified radiologist. I just wish I had been taking Chase to him sooner. By the time x-rays were finally taken of his leg, x-rays were taken of his spine by another vet, there wasn't any doubt about how bad it was.

It has been a long time since I had a corn surgically removed from Nadir's foot, but best I remember it took about 6 weeks to where he could bear his weight on it. I never once regretted doing it. It was the best thing I could have done.

I'm so very sorry for your losses. Having lost Chase just recently I know a bit about how you are feeling.

I'm not sure. I feel guilty for wanting more time with him realizing now how much pain he was in. Looking back I should have been more proactive in finding out what was wrong. It has been a really screwed up year with my vet of the past 8 years diagnosing him with LS then in Feb telling me not to bring him back again because I ask to have him checked out after a dental because he was showing possible signs of rhabdo. If I had pursued an actual diagnosis with MRI the cancer and clot may have been found sooner and something could have been done.

Glad to hear Zuri is doing well. Sending white light for him and all the hounds fighting cancer.

Beautiful tribute. It brought many tears to my eyes.

I miss seeing new pictures of her and Spriet posted on GT.

PM me your address.

I have some Springtime Fresh Factors and Joint Health you can have if you would like to try them. The Fresh Factor has a best buy date through this month and the Joint Health through August, but would be okay to use beyond that.

I've been thinking about you and Franny hoping her vet visit went well.

Glad you got some good news.

I pray it is not what you fear.

Ducky, thank you for remembering Chase.

I'm interested in learning if anyone else's greyhound has experienced troube with blood clots along with osteosarcoma. The main reason I had Chase put to sleep Friday was not because of the condition of his leg, but because of the large aortic blood clot they found. It ran from where his kidneys are located down to his knee. It was just a matter of time before all blood flow was occluded. The resident oncologist told my vet that Auburn has never seen such an enormous clot as the one they found in Chase.

I came back to this thread several times, but have had the hardest time putting down those two words. He's gone. Words that make it more final. I don't regret releasing him from his pain. I'm just angry that I was left with no other option. No chance to even put up a fight.
