NancyB Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This is really hard for me to post this. Albi's vet came to our house Saturday morning, June 16, to send Albi peacefully to the bridge. He is pain free now and reunited with Marvin, Mickey, Ramm and Ruby. On June 8th he couldn't use his only front leg, screamed in pain, we found out he had degenerated discs in his neck, his vet thought they were pressing on the nerve and causing pain. By Tuesday he couldn't walk and within the week he had deteriorated greatly to the point where we knew it was time. She now thinks there had to be a tumor on his spine. To read his thread in Health and medical click this link http://forum.greytal...ll-disc-issues/ We adopted Albi as a puppy from Jersey Shore Animal Center. A member of one of the Italian Greyhound message boards posted the petfinder link in Off Topic for the Borzoi Saluki mix puppies there. The shelter wasn't too far from us, we decided to go take a look at them and we filled out an application, we picked him up on Valentine's Day, 2004. He was a joy to have around, loved all people and would greet you by putting his paws on your shoulders. He loved his greyhound brothers Marvin and Ramm and his greyhound sisters Ruby and Kassie. He was a tall, big boy, 100 pounds of love, he was a talker and a big smiler. He would sleep with us and we had to buy a king size bed to accomodate him. He would also scold us when we came home if we were gone too long (a Costco shopping trip!). He was our baby dog and is deeply loved and will always be missed. Albi has been through a lot this past year, he broke his leg May 19, 2011, had his amputation for osteosarcoma on May 25, 2011 and then went through several surgeries for MRSA. He was very brave boy and we are heartbroken.
