Guest crazy4greys Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Tonight Autumn got up from laying down in the crate and screamed and went 3 legged. I brought her to the vet. Looking at the xrays, there is dark shadow on her left hip joint. It is probably cancer. She got a shot for the pain and we are going back in the morning for possible xrays as I couldn't leave her there. Looking at her in pain and hardly using her "good" right leg, I am not sure what to do. I may not put her through anymore pain and send her to the bridge to be with her buddy Phoenix tomorrow. It is tough making these decisions, but seeing her like that is not fair. I am heartbroken. Please send your prayers for Autumn, she needs them. Thank you.

Aerosmom Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Oh no! I hope that someday Health and Medical will be free of the cancer posts. Maybe talk to your vet and see what pain meds she can take...I know Snickers did well on the Metacam for awhile. I'm so sorry.

Guest tricolorhounds Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Dear Autumn, I hope you are feeling better after getting that shot.

Guest crazy4greys Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Autumn has been going to the chiropractor and acupuncturist since January. She recently started water therapy. She is on 9 tramadol a day, along with previcox and Traumeel. It is arthritis and narrowing of the disc spaces pressing on the nerve. Now with the xray. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, this is really hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
