robinw Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Marion, I sure hope it's something treatable. A few years ago we had two cats that were very close. After one of them died, the other acted very depressed and just sat on a bookshelf. The vet said that she was going into liver failure and that it sometimes happens after an animal loses a loved one. He put her on an IV and she eventually recovered. I wonder if that could be what's happening with Soldi? Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat. Missing Iker the galgo ?-Feb.9/19, Treasure (USS Treasure) April 12/01-May 6/13, Phoenix (Hallo Top Son) Dec.14/99-June 4/11 and Loca (Reko Swahili) Oct.9/95 - June 1/09, Allen the boss cat, died late November, 2021, age 19.

ahicks51 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 You know, the whole "face muscles" thing rings a bell with me, I don't know why- there was someone who asked about it on the greyhound list a year or two ago, and I forget what the reply was. But are the muscles of the head atrophying? If that's the case, it's some specific disorder, the name of which eludes me. I think it's serious, but treatable. Maybe Batmom or someone else will remember what I'm referring to. Coco (Maze Cocodrillo) Minerva (Kid's Snipper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marion Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Thanks again for your many kind replies! IRSKASMOM: Awww Marion , it is breaking my Heart. Poor Soldie . Sending you lots of gentle Hugs and Prayers for you and your Pup. I hope the Bloodtest will give you some Answers as of what is going on with Soldie How old is Soldie ???? Soldi is exactly 10 and a half years old. Her 11th birthday would be on 16th of September. AHICKS51: You know, the whole "face muscles" thing rings a bell with me, I don't know why- there was someone who asked about it on the greyhound list a year or two ago, and I forget what the reply was.

Maybe Batmom or someone else will remember what I'm referring to. It was me who posted a topic about Soldi's prominent cheekbones last year. I know there'e a condition called Masticatory Miositis that is treated with highest amounts of Prednisone. As Soldi's functins of eating, yawning, chewing etc. stayed just fine, I just accepted her boney face as 'old age face'... I will let you know the results of the analysis. Now it's 8.00h o'clock in the morning here. It seems that she thinks a bit more about drinking and is the same like yesterday. I give her small amounts of honey with water with a syringe...no way to get any other thing into her body. It seems that she hates even the smell of broth (which I made from chicken). -------------------------------------------- Marion, Ivy & Soldi Perseverance is not a long race... it is many short races one after another.

silverfish Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Oh Marion, I am so sorry to hear about Soldi! Kidney failure was one thing I was thinking as I read, but I hope it's not that. Of course, kidney failure can be managed up to a point, and many dogs live quite a long time, quite happily on renal diets, but it isn't fun. I'm sending both of you lots of hugs and good thoughts and hope to hear something soon. I hope it's something treatable!

marion Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 My adorable little Soldi is gone... The analysis showed clear evidence of cancer and the vet supposed mieloma in the marrow bone. As today she felt even worse than yesterday and the vet didn't give us any hope, I took finally the worst decision. My heart is totally broken. I have lost my two beloved Greyhounds within 8 months...I cannot write anymore. I'll put a thread in Remembrance later... Good Bye my princess -------------------------------------------- Marion, Ivy & Soldi Perseverance is not a long race... it is many short races one after another.

gazehund Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Marion my friend, I am so, so sorry. I lost three of mine in 11 months time, so I do know a little of what you are feeling. Gentle hugs to you across the many miles. Rest well sweet Soldi. I will never, ever see a tennis ball again and not think of you. I hope by now you have found Ivy and all is well.

And I am so very sorry that her broken heart could not heal. God speed to you baby girl, with Ivy once again. Please continue to watch over your mom and to help heal the very big hole in her heart.
