LadyGrey replied to cleptogrey's topic in Everything else Greyhound

I am so very sorry for your loss. I just lost my baby too right before Thanksgiving, and am hurting so much. Hugs to you!! There are no words to describe the hurt of such a sudden loss. My baby had symptoms (another disease) and was gone in a couple of days. About 5 of my Greybabies in the 25 years I have had them, have died of exotic, unexplainable, and sudden sicknesses and deaths. And all under 9 years of age. It is so so sad and tears your heart out. The others I had lost over the years died of explaniable things that I had a chance to say good bye. I am praying for you. Be comforted by us here in your Grey family. That is where I always come. Run free sweet baby.

Back Legs Paralyzed Or Dont Work
LadyGrey replied to LadyGrey's topic in Health and Medical discussion
Well I have had Greybabies for 24 years. I will let myself grieve for her, and then I want more. I will do like I have always done, gotten two at a time. I have always had two. I don't know what life would be lifke without my Greybabies. Thank you for your kindness. Yes, being single is tough when losing your one and only baby. Last night I thought I heard her whining to get in from outside. And this morning I woke up early and was thinking that I had to let her out. Very sad. -

Thank you everyone. Your kind words and hearts comforted me. I hated coming home from work today to a completely empty and lonely house. I am so broken. I still feel her soft fur as I was stroking and petting her this morning. I still see her eyes looking at me. She was a perfect girl and never did anthing mischevious. She was such a good sweet girl. Dont know how I am going to get through this. BUt thank you all. -

Back Legs Paralyzed Or Dont Work

She will be on antibiotics for 8 weeks. If she cannot move her legs at all after a couple of days and wont eat, I will make the horrible decision. There is no reason to keep her tormented like this. I have always been like this. It is redicuouls to keep a baby alive in torment and pain in a paralyzed position just for what? It is a hard decision, but a must. She is miserable. I am not as technical as you, but I am using unselfish compassion. Thank you all everyone for your replies so soon to me and my baby. I appreciate your prayers and love thoughts. -

Ok I just posted long message, and site would not let me post, here goes. So 6 weeks ago is when it started. Sophie was not running in back yard and she was walking slowly and then teetering a bit. Also was not eating or drinking. so I took her in to vet. She gave her anti-inflammatory meds. No change, so I took her to e-vet late night a couple of nights later. Not eating, drinking, fever, and could not bend legs to poop and teetered a lot trying to walk. So e-vet gave her anti-biotics and pain meds for a week, and she got almost completely better. I had my Sophie back. that was Oct. 21st. So the past 3 to 4 days, she was walking slow again and yesterday, I noticed she was teetering again, and by the evening, the back legs went out entirly. Had to carry her everywhere. So last night took her to e-vet. Doc did x-rays and told me she has about 4 discs on her back that are closing into each other causing pressure on back legs not to function. So she has been on iv fluids, and strong anti biotic shots ever so many hours. I have to pick her up 6:30am tomorrow. Doc hopes her legs will start working by then, but no guarentee. I visited today, no change. Not eating. Lost lots of weight in last few days. Cant stand at bowl to eat and drink, so I would feed her in bed. Ate only little. All while she is panting and whining. So today, I told them to give her pain meds (not morphine based) to help with pain. Doc said this I would take her home tomorrrow with 8 weeks of strong anti-biotic. 50% success rrate with Greyhouds. Doc saw bacteria in the discs - this is the cause of the discs moving together. She will be on probiotic too. She is looked miserable in e-vet today. Any help, suggestions, or similiars??? Help, distressed mom. -

Disoriented After Dental Surgery
LadyGrey replied to LadyGrey's topic in Health and Medical discussion
Thanks so much, everyone. She is much more alert today. She ate her breakfast just fine and did not seem to have nay issues eating it. She is drinking her water. She had a nice poop session and is urinating very well. She is doing her normal rounds about the house looking out the windows over her territory. She is just a tiny bit slower going down the stairs. She doesn't run up and down, but she carefully walks up and down. That "anesthesia" look in her eyes is gone today. I would say a 97 percent recovery rate. But her teeth are nice and white and nice breath. I did get a dental wash for her as well as the usual rubber finger brush for her teeth. I wont brush for several days in case she is sensitive.
