K9 Karen and Cody need our prayers

[Logan]

Cody is very sick, and Karen will eventually come here to report to us, I'm sure, but she is on her way to take him home from the emergency clinic to be with her, now. Please pray for both of them, that Cody isn't in too much pain, and that Karen will have the strength to make some very difficult decisions today.

[lovemyshiba]

Oh, Poor Karen and Cody. I will keep them in my prayers, and be hoping to hear good news. I pray that Cody is not in too much pain, and that Karen can have the strength to make any decisions she needs to.
Hugs to Cody and Karen--they need our support now.

Thank you for letting us know Logan, and hopefully we will be updated.

This is breaking my heart

Karen, you and your Cody will both be in my prayers today.

[Karen]

Oh dear Karen and beloved Cody, you are in our prayers right now. Be strong and brave, sweet boy.

Oh, poor, poor sweet Cody! I will keep Karen, Cody, and their family in my thoughts and prayers. I really do hope that he gets well soon.

I'm going to try and explain what I know, based on an email that several of us received from Karen this morning.

She says:

On Saturday, she noticed that Cody's left leg was giving him trouble and he had a hard time getting up. She gated him and gave him his Rimadyl. But he couldn't even stand. Sunday, he went to the vet, who immediately noticed that his right leg was "thick". His leg was 3 times the normal size. Under his fur, it was purple. He had blood work and was given antibiotics.

He didn't eat, but did drink a lot of water. Last night, she called the vet and finally spoke with her at 10 pm. His bloodwork had come back "terrible" (anemic, low platelets, etc). At this point, his leg was black and swollen to the hip. He was taken immediately, at the vet's urging, to the ER.

He had a transfusion last night, antibiotic and is/was being checked by an internest this morning. The latest message from the ER is that he has masses on his lungs. There is nothing they can do. She has gone to retrieve him, take him home, and make her decisions.

Please pray hard, my friends. Our friend has had a lot of personal tragedy this year. And this is a very, very tough time for her.

Oh dear This is dreaded news. Karen, I can not find the right words now. It seems as if nothing that I right is adaquite for such a difficult time. You know how much we love you and Cody. I am so sorry. I will still hope for a miracle, as they do happen, but do know that we are here for you during this most difficult time.

I feel like I am losing one of my own dogs I can't stop crying

Dearest Cody is one of the original pets of Pet Talk. There is no more intense a love than the one Karen has for her boy.

Please, God, with our special friends today. They both need your care and love and peace.

Oh, I feel so much worse after reading about poor Cody. Please God, take away Cody's pain, and Karen's too.
Cody is such a special boy, and so loved by everyone, especially his mommy.
Please please please let this boy be alright, and give Karen the strength she needs at this difficult time.
