Hi, Thanks everyone for the advice back in May when our 9year old whippet Dylan was diagnosed with spine cancer.Sadly yesterday we lost him as I could not keep him with me any longer.He was uncomfortable and crying alot and I can honestly say it was the HARDEST decision I have ever had to make...

Hi Terry, Thanks for the info.I keep hoping the vets wrong but I'm also trying to keep Dylan as happy as I can.This is the hardest part of owning a dog but its nice to know you have all been there too so you understand my distress. Regards Liz

Hi Trish, Thanks for that.Just tell me did your cousin have xrays or a mri scan done on her dog and how did they rule out the tumour.Sorry to be a trouble but I still feel that the vet could be wrong. Thanks Liz

Hi, My beautiful whippet Dylan was finally diagnosed as having a spine tumour on Thursday.I am devastated as he is only 10.He started to limp in January and was xrayed and I was told it was sciatica but over the last couple of months it has progressed to him not putting his foot down at all.He...
