Xan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hey, all. Trish asked me to post on her behalf, to get those white light, positive thought, prayers, healing energy going right away for Sam and her. Sam turned up limping a few days ago, and Trish is pretty scared. Sam came to her shortly after she lost her beloved Petie to osteo. Sam has become Trish's rock, her personal therapy hound. Sam has x-rays scheduled for 3pm Friday, which is as soon as she could get them. I told her we're only going to be thinking positively right now, visualizing nothing but simple answers and quick recovery. I bet she'll get him in there and it will be like taking your car to the shop 'cause it's making a wierd sound, and then it won't do it for the mechanic! So, while Sam is limping and obviously not at the top of his game right now, Trish needs your positive thoughts as much or more. Let's get the party rolling!

gazehund Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I have had many instances of limping among all four of my hounds over the years. We have had : torn crucuiate (Bones) dislocated toes (Future) Kia ripped her dew claw clean off. Pearl has a long standing old injury that causes a limp at times. Foreign body in a pad. (Bones) Bones most recenlty presented with a serious limp that turned out to be a soft tissue injury and he has recovered well and fully. There are many causes of a limp, most of them fixable. Having already lost one hound to osteo would most certainly be a reason to fear the worst when a limp presents. Healing thoughts for Sam and Trish.

Xan Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 That's right. LOTS of reasons to limp! Heck, Happy is limping right now, has for a couple days, but I can see improvement. Just a yard-play sprain or old injury (broken hock) playing up. Brilly broke his toe. My kitty Meepy started limping yesterday (12 years old: probably landed wonky jumping off the furniture). Heck, *I* limp some mornings! Wabi limps EVERY morning! Quote My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.

Houndtime Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Good thoughts for Sam. Paul starting limping shortly after we adopted him almost two years ago. It was a soft tissue injury and he is fine. I just give him glucosamine and MSM every day.

Guest SueG201 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Have your vet check for Erlichia, it is becoming very common in dogs and the first symptons are limping. I lost a whippet 2 yrs ago, and now I firmly believe it was this tick borne disease which was not a normal blood test to check for , have your vet send the blood out to Protatek to make sure. i hope it is nothing to fear as I have lost two greys to osteo and it is heartbreaking to say the least. Prayers to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is mushy and sentimental, but it's so sweet that you remembered what Peatie died from. That totally touches my heart. And Xan, you words, as always are perfect and just what I need. I don't know what I would do without you and the rest of my greyhound family and friends. Thank you everyone. I will report as soon as I know something. Hugs, Trish and Sam Sam, don't scare your mom, honey. Everything will be OK. Yea, you tell him, Ducky!
