Hi All,

Its been a long time since I have been able to get back to EG. Clark had his right rear leg amputated due to osteo and he developed some problems in healing which has delayed his chemo treatments almost 2 months. He is to go to South Paws Tues for his 1st treatment and I know they will do a blood test to check for cancer so please say a prayer for him that all will be okay. He is only 5 yrs which is why we decided to go this route, he has been a real trouper through everything and you would not believe the way he is now running in the yard.

Nebby is 9 1/2 & has osteo also, its his right rear leg also. We decided that as his age we would manage his pain and keep him comfortable for the time he has remaining. He is doing well and almost acting like a puppy at times.

Isis & Thor are doing well and am keeping fingers crossed that they remain healthy.

Now that things are beginning to settle down I hope to be more active on the site again, so all take care and hugs your hounds.

Linda

to you with the gd cancer. We have been through it but not lucky enough to catch it to do the amputation. Our beloved Phawn was diagnosed very late and we only have two short weeks after they diagnosed her. What a heartbreak. Shadow with Fibrosarcoma we had her a few years after her diagnosis. I wish they had a cure so that we do not have to go through the loss of our beloved babies

We are also in a wait and see situation with Softee who is 14 & 9 months plus a few days (but who is counting) who just had a toe amputated for Squamous Cell Carcinoma. If it has spread with her age we are just going to keep her pain free as long as possible. When she has no more quality of life then we will let her go.

Please know we are all here to give you support.

Oh Linda - I'm so sorry about both of your babies. It seems so unfair. I will add them to my prayers. Please post and let us know what the vet says. Hettie lost two last year and I lost one. The fates owe us one and I hope that Clark gets to collect the debt.

Sending positive thoughts and your way. to you and your hounds.

So sorry to hear of the difficult painful time you and your hounds have been through and are going through.
Your EG family is here for you sending lots of prayers and support. Anytime you need to talk, rant or anything else.

Sending positive thoughts you way.

Hugs from me & the criminals...you're on our prayer list now, please keep us posted.
