MachosMom Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Some of you remember Macho... And how at 5 and just under having him a full year he left us for the Rainbow Bridge due to osteo. On his gotcha day we adopted his half sister- Ninos Full Moon - aka Moonbeam. We took a gamble. This time last year Macho was limping. Now... It is Moonbeam. No fall that we saw, or other trauma that we know of- though this girl won't even wimper if she cuts her toe on a bush. Obviously we are fearing the worst. Having gone through it last year it is just hitting too close to home. We have an apt with the vet tomorrow at 9:45am (eastern time). I doubt we will know for sure until Monday when radiology looks closer at the xray- but I am fearing that we are about to head down this path again way too soon. Watching her walk and favor the leg even though I cant FEEL or SEE any tumor- still just tearing me up. I hope and pray I am wrong and it is something else. Something simple. Prayers and positive thoughts would be welcome. Quote Mom to Macho (JS XtremeMachine 1/12/2007 -8/17/2012 ... Gotcha day 9/2/2011.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiggysMom Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Wonderful! I had a scare like that last winter that also was soft tissue. After about 4 weeks of very limited activity, all was better. I'm hoping for Moonbeam to be feeling much better soon!
