Please keep your fingers crossed!

[Uabassoon]

Alexa just called me from work saying that the vet's office called and left a message about Dewey. She'll be home in about an hour and we are going to call the vet back. Please keep your fingers crossed that it is good news. Maybe the vet gave us the wrong diagnoisis. Maybe things aren't as bad as they seem. Please everyone pray, I'm not ready for Dewey to leave us yet.

[chocolatepuppy]

Fingers and paws crossed here! Please be really good news!

[Randi]

I do hope you'll get good news, we'll keep fingers and paws crossed. :)

[finn's mom]

You all will be in my thoughts. I hope it is good news.

[lizbud]

I don't think I would have the patience it takes to wait for news.
I'd probably call them. I really hope & pray that he has some better news about Dewey.

[ParNone]

Positive thoughts and prayers sent Dewey's way!

[wolflady]

Prayers are on the way! Please let us know what the vet has to say.

**hugs**

[Uabassoon]

Turns out it wasn't the vet that called Alexa but a wonderful lady from the shelter. Earlier today Alexa called them to let them know about Dewey just so they could be aware. The lady from the shelter called the vet and spoke with him. She told Alexa that there is no way to be 100% sure on distemper without doing an autotopsy. She asked if we would be willing to take him to another vet for a second opinion. This was something both Alexa and I had discussed earlier. We still couldn't bring ourselves to call and make an appoitment for him to be put to sleep. The shelter is going to pay for us to see a different vet. We are still waiting for her to call us back and let us know when we will be taking him and where.

[trayi52]

Prayers are on the way for Dewey. I pray that he is okay, and can come home to you and Alexa.

[jenfer]

Good thoughts for Dewey.

[4 Dog Mother]

Oh, hope is there! I will pray that the next vet has a better diagnosis and can find a way to make Dewey feel better. It would be a tragedy to put a dog down without knowing for sure!

[cloverfdx]

All fingers, paws and claws will be crossed for you Laura, Alexa and Dewey {{Hugs}}.

[sasvermont]

I hope there is a good outcome. I too vote for a second opinion. Please let us know when you find out about poor, sweet Dewey.

Oh Laura, that is good news. Hoping for better news from the 2nd vet! I have been thinking about you, Alexa, and Dewey.

Fingers Crossed!

[LuckiLab03]

We're thinking of you guys, hope you get some good news so Dewey can get better!

[caseysmom]

Laura ....any update on Dewey?

[aly]

Oh my god Laura, I am so sorry I missed this :( I had no idea. I wish I had been here for you on AIM, I'm so sorry I missed those messages :(

It looks like there is hope now though. Did you get an appointment? I can talk to the 5 vets at work and see all their opinions on the situation if you want me to. I'm SO glad the shelter has offered to pay for the second opinion. That is the right thing for them to do.

I know you are heartbroken, but try to stay positive. I am holding out much hope for little Dewey. One of my favorite shelter dogs survived Distemper when he was a puppy. You have my number still? Please call me if you need ANYTHING.

[ramanth]

Oh I hope! I hope!! *hugs*

[jazzcat]

Fingers, paws and everything possible crossed here for some good news on the second vet visit!

[Kfamr]

Alexa just let me know that Dewey and Laura are at the specialist right now and she's awaiting news. Lets keep our positive thoights flowing their way and hope for the best!

My thoughts too, Everything Crossed and then some.

[Uabassoon]

I wish I had good news. Tomorrow we will be taking Dewey to the vet for the last time. :(

[Kfamr]

Laura I mean it when I say if you need anything at all, let me know. I feel so horribly for you and Alexa. I love you girls and please give Dewey one great big hug from me.



A little more insight, I hope you don't mind Laura..
I was talking to Alexa on AIM when Laura called. Dewey either has Distemper or a very serious case of pneumonia. The vet said that it'd cost $1000's to turn him around and even so it's not likely to be successful.

We all know how hard this decision is to make. Laura i'm so sorry things didn't work out differently. Like i've said, atleast Dewey has had a happy time and has been loved by two wonderful ladies.

I'm so sorry to hear about this :( {{bigs hugs to you, Alexa, and Dewey }}}

[dukedogsmom]

Give him love from all of us. I know it must be terribly difficult. I've been through that but that was after many years so I know it's not the same. I'm glad that he could experience happiness and love from you. You were chosen for that reason. I hope you can find peace with this. I'm sure your hearts are breaking right now. Big hugs to Dewey and to you.

[bckrazy]

:( wow, I'm so sorry for both of you. I cant even imagine how you feel, with your boy getting so sick so soon. Dewey has had a wonderful few weeks with your family. . . Im sure he was just grateful to be loved by such great people.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so sorry. But it is good that he was able to spend time with such loving people. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Laura,

You and Alexa took a sweet, homeless dog out of a cage in a shelter and gave him a home of his own. You showed him more love than he's probably ever seen. You did everything you could before making the decision to end his suffering. You and Alexa are angels. I really hope you aren't still feeling guilty. You've done nothing but wonderful things for sweet Dewey. And Alexa knows you'd never knowingly put her through this heartache.

You both will have a little angel waiting for you at the bridge. And he's going to shower you with kisses because I'm sure he's very grateful to you both for doing the kindest thing for him. Even if he survived the distemper, he most likely would have had complicated health problems for the rest of his life. You're doing whats best for him, always remember that.

I'm really sorry you've had to go through this tragedy :( I'm holding you close in my thoughts.

[wolf_Q]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Dewey was an adorable dog, I know he was happy to have a loving home, even if it wasn't for very long. I wish there was something that could be done for him, I know you guys have tried all the options. Goodbye Dewey. :( :(

[ramanth]

I'm so sorry. :(

[primabella]

I am so very sorry. :(

I'll be thinking of the three of you.
