I know there are no words powerful enough to erase such a horrible experience but I am deeply saddened by it. My deepest sympathy. Ajax is so blessed to have such a loving family. Clearly he's very special and the love between you is most obvious. Sending hugs :grouphug and love.

Again, thank you everyone.

 

Nearly everyone I know in greyhound circles has gone through this, so I sort of knew my turn would come. A couple years ago I heard that the OSU found a strong correlation between specific bloodlines and osteo, the big one mentioned was Dodgem by Design, but also HB commander. Ajax had HB Commander on both sides of his family, so... again, I knew the risk was high. Any time we took him to the vet for pain in his legs, I would insist on an xray. It never occurred to me that it may pop up in his spine. One of those 20/20 hindsight things. My only regret was that the last 2 hours of his life were such pure agony, but I ended it as soon as I was able to.

 

Bush Neurology were (as usual) very, very good, helpful and compassionate.
