  1. Please could you also add Sunny, who passed today. I'm not sure when I'll be able to write his tribute. Thank you.

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
