My Alexa's osteo mets to her spine and I will always remember her cries of pain. I let her go to the Bridge within 12 hours of that first scream.

 

My heart goes out to Karen and her Penny.

[Guest greysonly]

That is so sad. It is like they hold off telling us they are in pain until they can't hold off anymore Holding Karen and Penny in my prayers.

That sucks. Penny at least deserved to live well into old age and pass quietly in her sleep.

 

to Karen.

Hi all! I haven't heard from Karen today.

 

I will leave it to her to call me, when she feels she can. Based on what she was describing last night, I am pretty sure she sent Penny to The Bridge, today. I mean, she couldn't even kiss her pretty Penny on the head :-( I can just IMAGINE her and Penny's pain!

 

Karen has an amazing daughter, Amy, and they are VERY close! I KNOW that Amy is taking care of her Mom, and sister, Penny, as well!

 

I will keep you all posted, if and when I hear something! Karen is a good friend. I am BLESSED to have MANY good friends, 99% of all ... are "greyhound friends!" WE ARE TRULY A CLOSE-KNIT FAMILY!

 

Thanks for your continuing prayers for Penny, Karen and Amy! Love you!! Dee

Hello again. I don't know how to update, so I will do this.

 

 

 

I will copy and paste an email from Karen below. Penny is still with her, and she is looking for a second opinion from a good vet in the Winston-Salem, NC area. If you know of any, please PM me, and I will forward to Karen. Your strength and prayers must be working! :-) Love you all! Dee

 

Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. Will keep you updated. Penny is just a little better today. I think the Piroxicam (anti-inflammatory) seems to be taking the edge off of the pain.. I will be picking up some Tramadol (pain reliever) today. I plan on getting a 2nd opinion before I do anything else. The vet says it "looks like" a tumor. He won't say "she has a tumor". This disturbs me a bit now that I have had my big meltdown and have had a chance to think about what he said. Penny does have old fractures in that area of her neck, and I am sure she has arthritis. I looked at the x-ray with Dr. Vernon, but I could not distinguish what he was seeing.Thank you all for your love and support in this very difficult time. Penny has such character. She truly thinks she is human. She's sassy and teases me when we go out to play. She knows all of her toys by name. She can speak, down on hand command only, and sit beautifully. She eats whatever I am eating, even if it's just bread like toast, she wants a little of it too! She loves fruit and when I get an apple or pear or whatever, it had better be big enough for both of us At night, she gets on the bed and waits until I get settled, then she snuggles up really, really close to me. She has not done any of the things that I described above, in the last 3 days. I have held her tiny little face in my hands a million times in the last 12 years, and I can't do that right now and it is killing me (and her too). She also comes close in front of me to get a hug when she is well. Can't do that now either. It's like I suddenly have a different grey. Just this morning, she is looking around a little and responds with her eyes when I talk to her. I can see the difference, but don't know right where we go from here. This is so unexpected and I have only seen this progression one other time. I lost my Evan in 2000 to OS. He was diagnosed on a Friday and gone the next Wednesday morning.Will keep you all posted. Love and (((greyhound hugs)))Karen

 

P.S. I am suggesting she send that x-ray to Dr. Couto ASAP. Dee

Sending my prayers for sweet Penny and her Mommy too.
