SarahsBlackPack Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 We got Brooke last year around Novemeber and we all noticed that she walked a little weird wtih a limp but we didn't truly think anything of it. Earlier this year, the limp got worst and we took her to the vet. Our vet put her on pain meds with restricted activities and Brooke seemed fine. Well, this weekend, we noticed that she was barely putting weight on her right front leg and doing the greyhound scream death when people would touch her leg/shoulder. We took her to the vet today at 5pm and we got the worst news. Brooke has the Big C. My family has decided to keep her on pain meds until the meds aren't affective any more and then we will put her down. The vet gave us a few options that we could but we have to remember Brooke is 12 years old and we don't think that doing chemo or amputation is really a choice Brooke can handle. From now on, Brooke will have to go outside on a leash due to her leg not being as strong as it should be and it could easily be break if we allow her to run, romp, etc. Please keep little Ms. Brooke is your prayers. Our family is just heartbroken over this news! Quote Sarah, mom to Stella and Winston .

Guest Energy11 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Brooke is in our thoughts and prayers! Max was 12.5 when we discovered his Osteo. I did the same ... pain meds, nutritious foods, light walking, and LOTS of LOVE, until we knew it "was time." Personally, I would never amputate a limp, but that is me. At her age, you are definitely doing the right thing! We will be thinking about her! Love, Dee, Curfew, Goldie, Oakly, Staggerlee, and Cari. Bold Energy, Dasher and Max, at The Bridge.
