Hope my greyhound, will be going to the vet soon. She is limping on her left rear leg. She is 11yrs old which my Hubby says she is actually 77 yrs old. But anyway. When she was on the track, she had fell in one of the turns, and injured her rear, Im` not sure where but it was somewhere in the rear, and the trainer at the time, kept putting her back on to run instead of taking her off and letting her heal. So at this point we (my best friend who worked w/ the dogs for a very long time) are hoping this is from her old injury, like maybe arthritis. But we aren`t sure. Unfortunatly Greys get bone cancer as the get older from all the stuff they are given and is put on them when they race in the circuit. So everyone keep your fingers crossed and say a pray for Hope that it is not bad. Thank you Mariah

Mariah,

Will be keeping both you and Hope in my thoughts today and sending positive vibes your way (((hugs))). Please let us know what the vet says is the cause of her limp.
