crazygang Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was thinking about you all yesterday Judy whilst reading the forum and hoping by not seeing Jacks name mean't no news was good news... Then this now. I'm so very upset that he is seriously poorly again my heart bleeds for you all. The poor little guy and how distressing for you that vet didn't have an animals welfare at heart in an emergency. God bless the one that did help him.... Sending positive healing prayers for Jack Run free our beloved Sir Snowy, Pip, Queenie, Sadie, Tess & Rosie until we meet again......I would rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vinnie Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Oh how very scary - keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Glad to hear that your sweet boy is stabilized and hope that they can get you answers that are not scary. Especially after having to let Renie go so suddenly. Try to get some rest when you can and hopefully dh did not hurt himself when he slipped. Sending hugs for you all and scritches for Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 The poor little guy and how distressing for you that vet didn't have an animals welfare at heart in an emergency. God bless the one that did help him.... It was just horrible, and yes, God bless the vet who did come out. He actually had a worse journey than our own vet would have done, as it happened. He lives out in a small village, and a long way to go to a main road. Thank God also that he has a 4x4 and can cope with ice and snow. We are seriously considering changing to this vet. It has crossed our minds before, because they are the 'track vet' and see a lot of greyhounds, including many retired ones whose owners carry on bringing them there. We chose not to go there because it's about three times as far away as our own vet - who we thought 1) was a good vet and 2) would be closer in an emergency. Well, you can see how that turned out. Try to get some rest when you can and hopefully dh did not hurt himself when he slipped. Sending hugs for you all and scritches for Jack. Thanks - he is okay. I'm so thankful he didn't tear ligaments is his ankle or break his wrist when he fell, not just for his sake, poor guy, but because I still can't drive. I've spoken to the both vets this morning. Our own vet (the one who couldn't get out - to be fair, his concern was speed as much as anything) and the place where Jack is. Our vet is going to send Jack's history over. The vet who has him now reports that he is stable and comfortable, but only as long as he has access to oxygen. They're going to let us know soon whether we are to leave him there for the weekend, or if he's okay to transport today. We'll go and see him today, whatever they decide. Please keep the good thoughts coming. We still might lose him. The plural of anecdote is not dataBrambleberry Greyhounds My Etsy Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan41 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Oh, this is just not right. I am so sorry to hear about the nightmare you experienced in order to get Jack the help he needed! But am so relieved to hear that he is in capable, caring hands. Do glad DH didn't injure himself - don't even want to think about those consequences!

We are sending powerful, healing prayers across the pond for Jack. He just has to be ok! Give him hugs and kisses from all of us!

MauCarden Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think you described everyone's nightmare scenario. Which is why I love out ER vet. Praying for Jack's recovery. I am just so sorry you and Andy are going through this. Missing my sweet girl Scout. My snuggler, my chow-hound, my kissy girl. It never thunders at the Bridge, and your food bowl is ALWAYS filled. So strange not living in Atty World. I was a love struck handmaiden to your every whim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
