I just logged on. I am in utter shock. I can't believe it.

 

Jeannie - I don't know what to say right now other than I am desperately sorry.

I am un utter shock too. My vet told me Wednesday night that his bloodwork looked like he may have cancer in his gi tract, lymphoma. I told her no...that I though the lymes disease was rearing it's head, and I justified it with similar symptoms that he had last year....she urged me to take him to the internist, Wednesday night he was up all night drinking & urinating..so I called the vet in the morning, again she urged me to bring him to the internist,,,she then said, maybe it was Addison's disease...maybe she said that so I would take him in believing that...because I really believed it was just going to be Addison's disease. Well...it wasn't. The internist took my son & I into the ultrasound room to show us how awful it was...he had several huge solid & fluid filled tumors, and many smaller ones...they wrapped around and infiltrated his intestines...it looked so painful. He told me they were not prepared for what they saw after observing Vinny for a few hours & looking at his bloodwork. He never yelped during the proceedure until they were taking him off of the ultrasound table. I feel like I'm going to vomit. He must have been in so much pain. He started screaming last night, he was inconsolable...we planned on doing it Saturday, but we couldn't make him wait....My Vinny passed at around 10:45 last night. I don't know how I have any tears left, I am devastated.

It really sounds like he wasn't in pain until last night when the meds started wearing off. Those things can grow and change so hideously fast ..... Even so you never expect to see those things in a young robust-seeming dog.

Just sitting at my desk at work weeping. This is what my vet was worried was going on with Soul when he had his HGE blowouts. I had the pleasure of meeting Vinny, one of the best greyhounds I've ever know. Such a terrible, tragic loss :weep:weep

 

I HATE YOU CANCER!!!

I am so very very sorry. I as well just opened this thread and cannot believe he is gone. Vinny was a stunning boy.
