I'm so very sorry. We'll all miss Taylor.

I'm so very, very sorry.

I'm so sorry, Jen

I'm so very sorry

Galgos are scary smart and opportunistic. Way more than my greyhounds were.

If he continues to limp, it might not be a bad idea to return to the vet for more X-rays. I have two guys; galgos at 55 lbs each. They each eat about 2.5 cups of Acana daily. One of them is about ten years old.

Taylor is both a star and a hero! Hope he's with you for quite a while longer.

I'm so sorry for the bad news. I've been through this three times and it sucks. Having said that, I can't advise you on what to do; I can only share my experience. I still regret keeping Loca, the first hound diagnosed, as long as I did. I. Didn't know it was osteo until after she passed away and had I known I would have let her go sooner. I let my second one go several weeks post diagnosis and the last one go at the time of diagnosis as it had spread to her lungs. When I let Phoenix go (number 2) the vet told me that dogs are very stoic and are good at hiding their pain. She added that osteo is as painful as it gets. I remembered her words when I let number three go at the time of diagnosis. You'll find lots of opinions offered here. I've seen many people keep their osteo dogs for way too long while their dog is being called "brave". In my opinion it's wrong to force anybody to be brave when there's pain and no chance of recovery involved (except for some dogs like Twiggy who have done remarkably well post amp). To me, the best way to show love is to spare pain. Good luck and I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you.

Great news!

I'm so sorry. You always posted the most beautiful pictures of him. He'll be missed.

I sure hope it isn't cancer. You don't know what's wrong with him, or what kind of cancer it is, if it is cancer. I suggest holding off those thoughts until you have a diagnosis. If it is osteo, Jen is right. The longer you wait, the greater the chance of a broken limb. Also, if it's osteo, he'd be in pain, even if he's not showing it. You wouldn't be doing him any favours taking him to the walk.

I'm so sorry

I'm so very sorry

I'm so sorry, Dazzle was such a lovely, special girl. She'll be missed by many, including me.

I'm so sorry, as yes, it does suck. I'm going to guess that you haven't slept well for quite a while, so try to get some rest.

This website is great. http://fearfuldogs.com/

Loca dislocated a toe. The entire foot was wrapped and and I covered it with an old IV bag for waterproofing whenever I walked her. I only leash walked and no running allowed. It took a while until I was able to let her get back to normal.

Congratulations! He's really cute'

Don't know, but all three of mine had osteo.

I adopted a traumatized galgo. Take it slow, let him come to you and don't crowd him. And yes, a vet visit is a good idea.

I'm so very sorry, Kari. Hugs.
