  1. Oh, doG. This is enough to rip your heart out. I hope you can feel the love and support of GT...............as someone said earlier, you have always been so supportive of everyone else. Please take comfort that you are not alone - many, many are praying for you and Steak; just wish we could be of more help. Please don't beat yourself up - save your strength for Steak - he needs your love, support and strength to pull out of this. Hopefully the new neuro will be able to come up with the right combination for him. Sending prayers.

  2. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! And here I was being "the voice of reason" and was proven all wrong! Yippee! I LOVE it when I'm wrong!

     

     

    He wants to stay......................he really, REALLY wants to stay! Lorinda, you are an amazing woman! Random thoughts......I'll shut up for now, but this is just wonderful, truly wonderful!

  3. You gave them the ultimate gifts - love of life and a life full of love. "Release The Hounds"! That's what I would be hearing on the top of that hill, followed by the thunder of feet slapping the ground and the rooing for the sheer delight of it. Godspeed Roo and Otis.

  4. Small improvements are good. Hope you cooked something to take with you. Have they tempted her with that yucky-to-us-but-oh-so-yummy-to-them prescription food? ID or AD? Have you tried to hand feed her? Suze wouldn't eat for the techs in ICU when she was septic (no platelets, either) due to ARF, but she ate out of my hand. Everyone was amazed! Hope this happens for you, too! Here's hoping for better blood test results today! Still praying - hard!

  5. I am so sorry for your loss. Deramaxx and other NSAIDS are good drugs under the right circumstances. There are millions of dogs that will probably receive a dose this morning and will be able to go about doing their doggie thing because their pain is tolerable. In the end, I think the important thing is that you were doing your best for True and would never have knowingly given her something that could harm her. Godspeed, True.

  6. Demon had an ultrasound (or xray, I can't remember) and the radiologist reported a "huge" heart. I sent the data to OSU and they said it was normal for a greyhound. Greyhound hearts are much larger than other breeds.

     

    I would definitely send everything to OSU for their opinion or better yet, see if the OP would ask their Vet to request a consult. . If the Vet refuses or is resistant, it's just another reason for the OP to consider getting a second opinion from a Grey-savy Vet or finding a new one.

    It's tough trying to do right by someone else's dog..
