  1. I am so sorry Bev. Run free Poppy and Tetley
  2. Thanks everyone. The vets office called this afternoon his cremains are ready to come home. I will go and get him tomorrow.
  3. I let Star go to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. I had no idea he had Osteo until he broke his hip. He was very stoic. He went out for his morning pee yesterday and is usually the first one back in the door. He was last in yesterday and he was dragging his right back leg. I made an appointment for the vet. I had trouble getting him into my SUV and had no one to help me. Finally my granddaughter in law came home and she got him into her car. I rushed him to the vet before they closed but I and they were unable to get him out of the car. They gave me sedatives to give him and to bring him back in the morning. I gave him all 3 of the sedatives at half hourly intervals as the first one did not seem to be doing anything. He was still very alert when I got him to the vet. Fortunately they were able to get him out of the car this time. They took x rays and the vet called me this afternoon to say he had broken his hip and it was most likely Osteo but could not be sure unless they did a bone biopsy.I said no that is more harmful and given his age I was not going to put him through any more pain. I went back to the vet and we put him to rest. He went very peacefully. I will miss him. He was my second greyhound that I adopted along with my sister in 2000. I am now down to 2 greyhounds. I have lost 3 in the last 12 months. Run free sweet boy, I loved you.

  7. Thank you for all your kind remarks . I am still in shock and cannot get used to the new feeding amounts. I catch myself putting out too many bowls.
  8. Einstein was helped to the bridge on Thursday morning after he collapsed at home. My grandaughter in law and I finally managed to get him to the car so I could get him to the vet. I left him there for about an hour to see if he improved enough for him to be x rayed. Unfortunately he worsened and I made the decision to let him go. I held him and kissed him whilst the vet gave him the injection. I will miss my sweet old man. I hope Angus and Ricco were there to greet him even though they had never met Einstein.

  10. What a beautiful tribute. I am so glad Dodger is taking over his duties. I must admit the tears started to flow as I read this tribute. Take care. Run free Warlock
  11. Donna, I am just seeing this. I am so sorry Trevor had to leave you. RIP sweet boy.
  12. I have a bunch of it too. I just started using it again. Last time I used it they had the Big D. I stopped using it just in case it was caused by the garlic. I am using very little and working up to a full scoop.

  14. Robin I am so sorry. Run free Loca. :grouphug
  15. As far as I know my greys have never had their anal glands expressed. I have had other breeds and the vet would always express them when they went for their physicals. I am wondering if Willy needs his expressed as he is having a lot of very smelly gas. I have not changed his food so I was wondeering if this could be the cause. Thanks for anyones input.
  16. I am so glad Dodge came through the surgery O.K. Now heal and rest both of you. :hope :hope :candle :candle
  17. Get well soon Loca. I did not think I would be able to give a shot. Its amazing what you can do if you have to.
  18. I am so sorry. Sounds like he had a good life with you.
  19. Ricco and Angus are on the entertainment center in the Den along with their Memory Boxes containing pictures and collars.
  20. Thanks Gil Ricco went to the bridge last May Angus went to the bridge last July
  21. My vet after diagnosis said retest in 3 months and then every 6 months. Now mine tests once a year.
  22. Star used to be on .8 Thyrotabs 2 times a day. When I changed vets he tested him and cut the dose to .5 twice a day. Einstein is on .6
