RedHead Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks again She doesn't have an appetite for a lot of things right now, but Campbells Chunky Chipotle BBQ Stew seems to be doing the trick for now. Maybe my imagination, but it seems as though she is showing more signs that she is ready to go (deep sleeping/breathing, trembling, weakness, etc.). Tucked in for her last night (she has to be under the covers every night) . Ignore the "old dog" warts on her face. Gonna be a sad night without my little companion tomorrow I may not be ready (never would be), but she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Feeling so sad for you. I have my own special mutt over here and though I've only had her a few years I can't imagine losing her. I don't even want to think about what it's going to be like many more years down the road (assuming we are lucky enough to have them). All I can say is we're here for you.

Hawthorn Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm feeling sad for you too - it's so hard. Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RICHandJUDE Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I recently lost a 13 year old Greyhound to Congestive Heart failure. In late August, she started to cough a lot. The vet did an ultrasound and concluded that she had an enlarged heart and valve problems. We had her on many medicines which seemed to help her for 4 or 5 months. Then the dreaded cough came back. Her biggest problem was that she didn't not want to eat. She continued to lose weight. She was on furosemide, spironolactone, enalapril, Metocarbamol, Vetmedin, and Gabapentin. (she also had some back issues) She did breathe deeper a few times. Some of that could be from the pills. She was happy right up till the end. We tried to control her in our fenced in area but sometimes she ran like the wind. The running did not seem to bother her breathing. If I had to do over, I would have probably taken her to a canine cardiologist. Good luck. I am so sorry for my previous post. I did not see that your little girl crossed the bridge. May God be with you and your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHead Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thank you again for all of the kind messages of support. I took the day off of work today, woke up feeling very sad and overwhelmed (is the day after always the worst one??), but am starting to feel much better now. Cleaning all of the beds, bowls, blankets, etc. is always a bit reflective and sad. Luckily I still have 7 other critters around here to keep me busy. Poor Teague hasn't had his usual amount of attention and exercise over the past week, so will take him out for a nice hike tonight. I was thinking of planting a tree or some other native plant (that only we would know of) on our hiking trail. Karma put in so many miles there, it would be nice to have a reminder of her every time we go. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WhiteWave Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 So very sorry. I know the pain. A week ago today I lost my best little buddy, Pongo. I had him for 17 1/2 yrs. He suffered from CHF for the past 4 yrs, they kept saying he had 3 months to live and then 6 months would pass and they gave him 6 more more months tops and that passed too. But he started having seizures last week. Took him in and he had a brain tumor so I let him go. He was good right up the last 2 days. He ate, went for walks, did his thing, enjoyed his treats, beat up the big dogs, he was the boss. RIP Karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
