Nobody knows Scooty better than you do. The decision is totally up to you. Whatever choice you make will be the right one.

 

May I remind you you will have a houseful of slaves............er..............friends............ to assist? B)

 

Hugs to you and Scooter. :bighug :bighug

Jennifer, I am so very sorry about your Scooter Man ... *hugs*

 

I just hate reading about all of our babies getting sick and going thru all of this - I feel lost at times.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I know word has been spreading like wild fire so I will confirm it now. Yes. The xrays show that Scooter has cancer. :cry1 My mind is still trying to wrap around the concept that it's actually happening. No matter how much we prepare ourselves in our minds knowing that our Greys will likely leave us due to this disease, it doesn't cushion the blow when you hear the words that it's your hound that is effected. It seems especially harsh since we are here a month after the eye surgery.

 

Thank you all for all of your thoughts and prayers. There are no words to express how grateful I am for all of them. I know Scooter is just one of many hounds going through health difficulties right now. All of the hounds here on GreyTalk are truly blessed to have such wonderful people looking after them.

 

I am so sorry Jennifer. I truly am. I know from first hand experience. Right now I have a doctor and x-ray specialist that are telling me Odie more than likely has bone cancer.. They want to do a biopsy. How did you find out Scooter had it? How old is he? What is his prognosis??

 

I feel you pain. I wish I could make it all better for Scooter and Odie...

Just letting you know that I hurt along with you. I hate hearing this. I used to try to avoid H & M purposely so I wouldn't have to read about all the dogs getting this dreaded diagnosis. Since going through it myself, H&M is the first place I go because I know how valuable the support and advice is. We are all praying for lots more happy time with your Scooterman and for strength because I personally know the punch in the gut feeling. God Bless.

Perhaps I should add a side note here:

 

 

I am taking everything into consideration in the event I do go to Dewey. I will not be doing anything to endanger Scooter's well being.

Do you really think you needed to add that side note?!

 

Sending lots of love to you both.

 

Jenn - is Scooter still wanting to play with his stuffies?

The day after his eye surgery he started limping badly. He'd been diagnosed with CES earlier in the year and at the time we treated it as a flare up of the condition because he would be fine for one day and then semi limping the next and then fine for a week and then bad again for a day or two. It's fluctuated quite a bit. It wasn't until week before last that he suddenly took a dramatic turn and was having a lot of troubles. We finally decided to do xrays...and now here we are.

 

 

 

How old is he?

 

 

He'll be 9 October 16th

 

 

 

What is his prognosis??

 

 

Pain management. Amputation is not an option for Scooter due to the weakness in his hips due to CES also known as LS. Chemo is an option but the negatives involved dont out weigh the positives and I am not going to make Scooter miserable during the last of his life with me.

 

 

 

I feel you pain. I wish I could make it all better for Scooter and Odie...

 

 

I do too. Lord knows I do. :grouphug

I didn't want people to get the impression that I would be dragging Scooter all over Dewey Beach. :lol

 

Sending lots of love to you both.

 

thank you :grouphug

He's not interested in his stuffies any more but he is frisky with his marrow bones and likes to toss them around. It certainly does a number on our wood floors. :lol Right now his spirit is still very good. :wub:
