I will continue to send you best wishes. There are so MANY other things this could be. You need to remain hopeful. Call me if you need to talk. Lois Quote Mom to Palm City Roxie ("Roxie").

Know that whatever decision you would make, it's what's right for you and your baby boy.

ZoomDoggy Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You and Black Jack are in my thoughts. Has a radiologist looked at the xrays? Specialists can often detect what a regular vet (even a very good regular vet) can miss. I second the suggestion to send the xrays to Dr. Couto if possible. If they're digital xrays, they can be emailed to him. Quote ~Aimee, with Flower, Alan, Queenie, & Spodee Odee! And forever in my heart: Tipper, Sissy, Chancy, Marla, Dazzle, Alimony, and Boo.

bjnno1 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks for the well wishes everybody. I think right now I'm just too exhausted to think about it. I cried the whole way to work this morning when I left the vet. I was just numb and have no idea how I got to work (I swear I felt like I was driving in circles) but I finally got there and cried some more. My co-workers were AWESOME about talking to me all day and keeping my mind off of things, staying busy and just trying to keep me up beat. When I went to pick Black Jack up, I saw the x-rays and felt a little better because the spot I did see was very small so it gives me hope. Once I got Black Jack home, he and Maj got a TON of lovies and kissies from me and some more tears were shed. I tried to log on to work and get some work done, but my mind just wasn't in it so figured I'd go outside and do some yard work and log back on to my work computer once the sun went down. I think that was a good call because I got some yard work done and was able to focus on my "work" work. I talked to a few of my family members/friends on the phone tonight and they all seem to think I'm handling everything really well. Like I said, I'm trying to keep a positive outlook and no reason to get myself all worried and depressed for no reason right now. Regardless..... he's STILL here, he's STILL in good health (other than the limping) so just have to love him like I've been doing all along Treasure every minute and make the most of things while we still have each other. Life is too precious to sit around being depressed, he's still here and he deserves my love right now, not my tears. So I'm gonna try my best to do just that. There will be time for crying later (hopefully much much later) just have to convince myself soft tissue damage and I intend to do just that for now. So everybody think positive thoughts with me and hopefully everything will be just fine I'll update the post when I can (so don't think the worst when I'm not on here) remember, I don't have access to GT from work anymore and most of my nights are filled with yard work these days.

VinnieAndRexsMom Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 BJ, I know exactly how you feel. Vinnie and Rex were my first greys and my world for a long time. The girls were growing up and leaving, but my boys were still here. Losing Rex was so hard, but losing Vinnie six months later was worse. He didn't get to see 10 with me. As far as how you are handling things and your decisions on treatment and the next few weeks, I would do exactly the same thing (I do like metacam a lot as I saw it do wonders for Vinnie). I understand how it feels to treat, hope for improvment, and wait. I will be waiting along with you. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I am hoping for soft tissue injury as well.

Robin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thinking good thoughts for you and Black Jack, BJ. For what it's worth, OSA most often occurs on the distal femur when it's in the hind limb (just to give you a little hope, here). Sending lots of hugs for all of you. BTW, get that x-ray to Couto, if at all possible. Remember: Loca was misdiagnosed. :hope :hope :hope In the meantime let's all start with Xan's chant: Come on Black Jack, fool the doctor!!

Guest VelvetEars Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I am praying that it is nothing more than a soft tissue injury. Remember - you can't control it, so don't waste the energy worrying about it. Just give him all the love you can, and pray for the best. We will send you all the good vibes, healing thoughts, and white light we can manage. And do try some heat on it, just in case. Could you also try dosing with Artemesia (?) in the meantime? Many hugs.... If you need to talk, cry, or btch, you're welcome to call me anytime. I'm PMing you my digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjnno1 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks guys Well he's still sleeping (I guess he's wiped out from his adventure at the vets office) and hasn't budged for a few hours (other than a couple of old man groans every once in awhile) so not gonna force feed him tonight, I'll just wait until the morning and try to give him the Rymadill then. I wish I still had my futon mattress in the living room oh well.. I'll just sleep on the couch. I don't want to make him go up and down the stairs right now and I'm not in the mood to carry him up and down tonight either. I'm not about to leave him down here and go upstairs alone. Yep the couch will be just fine Well I can barely keep my eyes open my own self so I better get some rest.
