Guest OurGreytLife Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My poor greyhound, Joey, has been limping for a few days, Last night when I came home from work I saw he was in tremendous pain. Went to ER, x-rays show a bone lesion. Doctor is pretty sure it's cancer. On Monday Feb 10th I had to euthanized my kitty and then the following Monday the 17th I had to euthanize my dog, Walter. (See Rememberence) Words cannot describe how broken my heart is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here will be praying for you, for strength to put one foot in front of the other until the memories carry only sweetness. May peace be with you.

Guest OurGreytLife Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Thank you all so very much for all your love and support you folks have given me here. I am blessed to be able to have a place to express my overwhelming grief where there is people who truly understand what my husband and I are going through. We didn't have children so our fur babies are everything to us. I thought Joey had slipped on the ice that is why I didn't take him to the vet right away when I noticed the limp. But when it didn't improve I began to fear it was a torn cruciate or osteo. I am grateful Greytalk has the osteo thread that I will read and consider what's best for Joey and us. Our problem is that Joey is 9 years old, has a collapsing treachea and a heart murmur (low grade thankfully). But my husband is laid off also and they stopped his unemployment. I will research all our options what is best for Joey and us financially. The good news is that the pain meds Joey is on currently is working well and he is walking using all four legs. I also have the most caring and compassionate doctors who have cared for my "kids" all these years. And I have you guys keeping me strong. Thank you so very much!!!
