Goldie's Nights Are Getting Better! Holding Off On The Anipryl

[Walliered]

Hey Dee!!!!!!!!!! I just saw your first post. I am soooo sorry you are going through this and my prayers are with you.

 

Blessings, Nan

[Guest dee]

Dee: I know exactly what you are going through as we had to send our greyhound Jackson to the bridge three year s ago because of a brain tumor. My husband just couldn't let go but I just felt jackson spiraling downward and one day looked into his beautiful eyes and I just knew that it Was up to me to help him have peace.....he so deserved our help. You'll know the day to do it and I always think that as awful and sad as it felt for us it was my last gift of love to a very cherished dog. You are in my thoughts...

Just checking in for any updates. How is your sweet Goldie doing today? Vicky

 

Thanks everyone for checking in! Goldie was just out in the big yard with the others, and is roaching on the couch :-)) She is FINE during the day! THE NIGHTS are still HEck, and Dh and I are both wiped out, but ... we will continue for her.

 

She sees the vet Tuesday afternoon for her thyroid and full senior panel, and I will, at that time, discuss the possibility of Anipryl for her.

 

She is such a sweet girl! Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers! Dee

I was actually going to suggest Anipryl-- might be an early onset of cog. dysfunction. Always starts at night.

I appreciate your input. You have WAY more experience than I do with canines :-) Mine is primarily with humans, but I did pick up a few things working for Dr. B :-))

 

Actually, ... and I HATE to mention this, but, MY GUT still says brain lesion. She was just outside with the others, and really walked slowly, coming in, AND I felt some focal type activity in her neck :-(

 

This is surely a day by day thing!

 

Many thanks and hugs for your concern!

I am happy to hear she had a good day outside and was roaching. We will continue to pray for all of you....

Dee, I'm reading all the updates, just can't type much because of a neck problem/pinched nerve. I'm praying for you and Goldie. Give her a good hug from us here on the farm.

[RobinM]

I check for her updates everyday and hoping for many more days and even better nights.

[Guest Energy11]

Again, thanks for all your good thoughts for my Goldie! Her nights are not AS bad, and she sees Dr. Karen this afternoon. We will do a full thyroid panel on her.

 

I, personally, still think it is a brain lesion/tumor, and will take it day by day with Goldie. She is pretty quiet during the day, but still roaches, and goes out with the others.

 

We love you all for caring! Dee and Goldie

[brandimom]

Dee, I have been following the thread on Goldie. Keeping her in our thoughts and prayers and HOPING you are wrong. Hugs to you and dh!

Adding more thoughts and prayers for pretty Goldie.

[TheFullHouse]

Was just checking for an update and saw you posted. You are both still in my thoughts and prayers.

[Guest greyhoundgarth]

With lots of hope and many prayers we are waiting for good news on Miss Goldie

Jean and Gus

[Guest Energy11]

I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for being here for us!!!

 

I will keep you posted. My girl seems OK, ... sleeps most of the day, .. has her incidents at night, but .. you never know what our labs today will find!

 

My ultimate Christmas wish, would be for her to be well again!

 

With lots of hope and many prayers we are waiting for good news on Miss Goldie

Jean and Gus

 

Nice to see you here, Jean! Thanks for the well wishes! We will take all the prayers we can!

 

Love to you and your really FUNNY LOOKING "greyhound" ... Gus! Glad you rescued that boy!

[Patsy]

OK, now we really must have a picture of Gus--you can't play with our minds that way and not post a picture.

 

Scritches all around.

[Guest Energy11]

I don't know if Jean can post photos. ... I know I can't! :-(

 

Gus is part pointer, and blue tick hound, I THINK, and he was adopted through a GT member, who postedthe info in emails, that he was on "death row," and Jean adopted him! :-))

 

Jean has always had "needle noses," in the past, but gave this boy a chance! That is AWESOME! Jean is "good people," and a good friend!

for Goldie

[Guest Energy11]

Thanks for your continuing good thoughts for this girl! She is on her way home from the vets... Dh is more calming for her. Who'd think, ... an ex PARAMEDIC can't keep her cool with her own greyhound! I mean, I THINK I am, but Goldie can feel my stress! It is NEVER easy with you own! Dh is VERY good with her. She is HIS "Missy Gold," ... and my "Missley!" And, he, even with his bad back, had to carry her into the vets, as she refused to go in! Poor old girl!

 

They hope to have the bloodwork back by tomorrow morning, so we shall see ... Dr. Karen also thinks she has a brain tumor :-( Can't say she is wrong!

 

This, as many of you know ... this type of thing can really really wear one down! No offense to my son and his GF, but right now, I could do without their visit! They are staying at my neighbor's wonderful house, within walking distance of here (*my neighbors are AMAZING!!!!!), so that will help, BUT, I don't leave Goldie, sooo, Sean has to understand, they are on their own for shopping, etc. We CAN all get together here or where they are staying, BUT, ONE of us will be home with my dogs! That is the way it is!

Still praying for Goldie, you and DH - I'm really praying for a throid condition. Seems strange to be praying for a specific illness, but hey, I'll take it! I know you would, too!

As far as your son and GF, I'm right there with you! Call me if you need reinforcements! LOL It's me AND my dogs, 24/7 - that's the package, take it or leave it.

Praying, praying, praying...........................................

Well, they are staying within three minutes of my house, SOOOO, I can be with them (**the offered to cook Christimas dinner :-))), and be here too, if needed. THEY are in their 30s, and I am sure they can shop without Mom! :-))) Dh is not medically trained, and IF Goldie were to need rectal Valium, and with the other dogs "packing" ... I doubt he could handle it.

 

Thanks for all your support! Love ya!
