Guest Energy11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Hello All! I am here again, asking for prayers and good thoughts for a friend's greyhound. Syd, only 7, developed seizure-like symptoms this morning. He spent the day at the vets, and was on a IV drip. They think it is Vestibular Disease. The vet says, "it doesn't look good," but as we know, especially at that age, things can turn around. Jean, his Mom, just lost her special boy, Guy, a few months ago, and is a mess. She is picking Syd up right now, and transferring him to the E-Vets for overnight monitoring. I am asking you all for "Power of Greytalk," for Jean and for her baby boy, Syd. Thank you so very much! I told her I would post this for her. Love and thanks! Dee Edited October 28, 2009 by Energy11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Tootsie did ok. Vet started her on the drug immediately and she had a rough couple of days but came back 90% and lived another almost 12 months. Sending prayers.

Guest Energy11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't know how to post updated, but Jean just called. They found a mass on Syd's spleen, and they think it is cancer that has metastasized to the brain, causing the seizure and neurological symptoms. His temperature is also going up steadily. They told Jean to, "get right over there ..." She is prepared to send him to The Bridge if that is what is best for him. Please pray hard!

Guest Energy11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Just talked to Jean's vet on the phone. They think it is a hemangiosarcoma, that has moved to the brain. The vet thinks Syd is bleeding into his brain, as he is has nystagmus and his temp is up to 107, even with cooling blankets, etc. Jean said, Syd is "already halfway to The Bridge," and she is sending him the rest of the way. Thank you for your prayers for this very young boy! Wayyy too much cancer in these dogs!!! Way way too much! God Speed Syd to The Rainbow Bridge! Bob, Energy, Dasher, Max, and all the others, please watch for him! Thank you! Dee Edited October 28, 2009 by Energy11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Energy11 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers! I have been on the phone all afternoon with Syd's Mom and his good friend, and mine, too. They are a mess. They taught us in Paramedic school, to be the strong ones. Not to show how we feel/emotions, and try to be there for our patients. I did that today, but boy oh boy ... it takes it toll on our souls ... our beings! ... But, it helps those who need someone to be strong ... so .... we do it. I am glad this boy didn't suffer, and his mom was there to help him over to the other side! As I look out the west side of my home, the brightly colored leaves, bright sun, and a hint of the mountains on the horizon ... this tells me, Syd is "home," and safe with all those at The Bridge.
