RhodyGreys Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Bonnie -- Even after amputation for osteo, our Stretch did develop edema in his remaining rear leg as a sign of the osteo progression. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. We had two greyhounds with osteo, on in 2000 (Lucky) and one in 2004 (Stretch). Both times we chose to amputate, so I can't even imagine how hard it is to manage with the affected leg still present. Remember, Coby knows how much you love him: that's never in doubt. Big hugs here from southern RI. Meri & the Dorgwith Little Lee from Eetaly (Raider Retire), Freya FooFoo (Writers Block), Brodie (never raced), and "foster" JJ (Rossmore Judith). Missing Bravo, Chickie, Nico, Meri Carol, Lucky II, Ringo, Mylie, Bull, Geordie, Shae-Leigh, Stretch, Dustin, Cooper, Lucky, and Heidi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystella Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Aww Bon, I am so sorry. I think these greys are wise beyond our understanding, they pick their time. Coby waited till you were married, till you had someone else to take care of you, before he let you know he is ready to go. Take the time to stop and smell the flowers - appreciate your everyday ordinary miracles Carolyn, Faith, Jeff Gordon (aka Jeffy) and Oscar the chilla. Desperately missing our Stella, we'll see you later sweet girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
