Hallie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I've wanted to update sooner, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to. Chance came home from the hospital on Monday. He's able to put weight on the leg and seems somewhat comfortable. Yesterday was a bad day. He whined and moaned all day and didn't sleep a wink. I think he was overmedicated and had one of those paradoxical reactions. Poor guy and how awful to hear him so uncomfortable all day - I didn't know what to do. He definitely was not anywhere near himself. Not interested in food or treats - all he'll eat is some scrambled eggs and yogurt. Not wanting to drink either - not even chicken broth. My sons and I have made the decision to ask the vet to come on Saturday afternoon to help him over the Bridge. Chance is nowhere near the happy-go-lucky boy he always was. He's miserable. I don't think he's in a lot of pain, but he's definitely uncomfortable and out of sorts. He's not happy, so we feel there's no use prolonging his agony or ours. He's not going to get any better. We have his grave dug in the back yard; we've all taken part in digging it, and in the spring it will be sunny and warm there. Our boy will always be close by. My heart is breaking, but I know I'm doing the best thing for Chance. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Guest jettcricket Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 ...How heartbreaking...I'm so sorry. Unfortunately I know exactly how you are feeling. We lost our first greyhound, who was named Chance as well, to OS at the tender age of 5. Sending you peace and white light during this most difficult time.

Greytlady94 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am so sorry. Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.

Guest couchpotato Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hallie, I'll be thinking of your sweet Chance. One of my "conversations" with our Jazzy yesterday afternoon was to make sure he kept an eye out for Chance when he crosses. Spoil him rotten and comfort him the best you can the next few days.
