    I certainly would not do an MRI. They should do bloodwork. I would be insisting on medication at this point and in that case he will need to have bloodwork regularly to monitor blood levels. I know they are terrible to watch but the chances are good you can get them controlled.

     

    Hugs for your boy.

    Eva, Jack did not have a catastrophic fracture. There may have been a hairline one but it was just at a point I was no longer able to see a pain free quality of life even with more drugs that ended his life. With Jill she was diagnosed with a hairline fracture and much bone loss. I let her go then. But neither of them shattered their bone. Most of the palliative dogs on GT do not suffer that.

    New to this forum and a rescue Greyhound owner of Katy Bell now 9.5 years old. Have had here almost three years. I believe in holistic approach to care where possible and nurtured a Rottweiler diagnosed with lumbar sacchreal (deterioration of the spine/arthritis) at 2 years old. He lived 14.5 years. Anyway, towards the end we managed his pain with a supplement from DRSCountryHealthLtd.com, capsule formula CHF#37 PAIN. It was like a magic pill. More recently a young foster dog I have been caring for was limping badly with shoulder issues. They wanted to do x-rays and blood work...expense I cannot afford...I put her on this pain/anti-inflammatory supplement for two weeks, twice a day, and her limping has healed completely!

     

    Without knowing the total background on Bailey, diet can also help with joint pain and other issues. My Katy Bell had a bout of pancreatitis before I took her and I have gotten her back to full health on a holistic diet. No grains, preservatives, fillers, venison and lamb. I love BLUE Wilderness, and I cook a chicken or beef, veggie and rice stew in large quantities that I then portion and freeze. Make a months worth of food for about $25!!

     

    This is bone cancer not arthritis. While supplements can be helpful, palliative care with aggressive pain control will always be needed with osteosarcoma.

     

    Eva I am so very sorry. I remember your Carrier's story very well. And since then both my jack and Jilly have been taken by the monster. I hope for many many precious good days with Bailey.

    I'm so very sorry Kari. That was exactly where my Jack's tumour was. We had a good long time after diagnosis together. I hope you do too.grouphug.gif

     

     

    How long did you have?

     

    I realize each case if different but I'm thinking it's going to be soon. :(

     

    I had 6 months with him after diagnosis. We were very lucky. He was on Tramadol and Meloxicam.

    I am still so shocked Andrea. I am going to miss her. She was just the sweetest and happiest girl. She was also so very lucky to have found you after all she had been through. You have a blast at the bridge Elly girl. Say hi to Jilly if you see her K?

     

    Hugs to you my friend grouphug.gif
