Carrier's Progress Photos


Recommended Posts

Carrier's pictures (well, this whole thread, actually) brought tears to my eyes. Not because they were graphic, but because he looks so wonderful, and you can just feel the love you share.

And Dr. Couto---not only is he an exceptional vet, and amazingly generous, he's funny too!

May the many prayers going out for you and your sweet boy lift your spirits, and hasten the healing process.

Oh, I clicked on the Scooby link, and loved reading about your experience there. You lived my dream!

Carrier is my hero! He looks great. My Jesse was diagnosed with Osteo almost 2 weeks ago and also had his right front leg amputated. When I first saw all of the big, metal staples I thought they looked horrible but after looking at them for a week I'm starting to think they are beautiful. They represent getting rid of his damaged, painful leg and allowing him to be comfortable again. Seeing Carrier and reading his stories gives me hope for Jesse. Keep up the good work!!! :dogcookie:dogcookie:dogcookie

 

Maybe I will post some pictures of Jesse's staples this weekend so the boys can compare scars!

Carrier looks great. It's amazing how quickly he's healing, and how happy he seems.

 

If things had gone differently and the cancer hadn't already escaped into his lungs, we would have opted for the same treatment protocol for Argus.

 

Good luck to you and Carrier. I hope he has many more happy, healthy years ahead of him.

What a handsome brave soul.

Thanks for posting all those pics, I was always curious what the amputated area would look like initially,...it looks like he is healing really well.

Way to go Career! I had a beautiful Rottie who had the same surgery, same leg, with cancer. She lived three happy years after the surgery. We just had to have her euthanized a month ago and she was 12 1/2 so wishing you many more years of love from your special pup.

Hey Carrier,

 

First, leave the grass alone. Your people will get upset if you keep vomiting. You need to keep down whatever you can, so cut the cow act.

 

Now is the best time for you to get table food. Your people will be so happy to have you eat that they will feed you anything! Try some eggs, boiled chicken, ground turkey, and whatever they are eating. You now have carte blanche at the food bowl, buddy, ENJOY! Have you ever had a Burpdog Biscuit? They are heavenly!

 

When you are done with the chemo, you will probably have different food.. I do and I love the new stuff. Make sure you try everything. Trust me, your people will keep trying until they make you happy. If you want to know what I'm eating, it's in my diary, but I didn't get a lot of supplements until after my chemo. My mom believes that anti oxidants aren't good with chemo. During my chemo, I got anything I wanted and I was picky!

 

Those barf pills you have are really good. I took one an hour before eating, the food stayed down a lot better. I took them for about 5 days after each chemo. I never puked.

 

Laser treatments and massage helped me a lot after my amp. A lot of people say acupuncture does too, but I never tried it. Remember to get some exercise, but don't overdo it. You need plenty of sleep, too... (you are still a greyhound).

 

It's a long road, buddy, but you're gonna be just fine. Some things will be different, but we're adaptable, strong, brave AND SPOILED.

Next time you're in Ohio, give Dr. Couto a big wet nose from me!

 

Butt sniffs,

Winslow

He looks to be healing really fast. Way to go!

Carrier looks wonderful -- Dr. Couto is an angel to our greys. I'm saying lots of prayers for him.
