Prayers for Killian, please

[Sudilar]

It was too good to be true. Killian's health seemed so much better when he was started on the prednisone. His appetite was great, he gained weight, he was playful again. That ended at 3am Monday morning. He vomited. He still seemed to be ok, though. He ate breakfast in the morning and seemed maybe a little slower, but not sick. He vomited all his food Monday afternoon. Later that evening, I gave him a little food and he also ate that. About 1am, he started pacing and asking to go out numerous times. This continued all night with bumping into walls and chairs. Finally at 5am he had a darkish poop. He was still wandering and bumping into things. Around 6, he threw up again. He won't eat at all. My son took him into the yard. As he was petting him, Killian fell on his side, but got up. He seems to have weakness in his back legs, too. He is resting now. He keeps coming over to give kisses.
His vet is not in today and I don't want the others to take care of him, they don't know him like Dr. Ball does. However, if something should happen today, I will take him in. He has an appointment to see Dr. Ball as soon as she arrives tomorrow.
Please pray that this is not the end and that it is just another episode. I'm not ready for that.

Thank you, in advance. I know the prayers will be there for him.

Oh Killian... sweet sweet Killian.

Please get better.... for yourself... for mommy... for us.

We all love you so.

Oh Sue this is heartbreaking. That sweetheart has been through so much!!. When I read that he is still giving kisses, as sick as he is, it caused the tears to fall. Oh the love between dogs and their people just defies description, doesn't it. I hope your vet will be able to help and can give you encouragement to continue to hope and that Killi still has many good years ahead of him. I know you need our prayers too. Wish I was there to give you these in person. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

I was just thinking, last night, that you had been quiet, and although I love hearing from you, I was glad you had nothing to report! I know you are worried, Sue. You have been through so much with him and he has been doing so well. Give him a great big hug and kiss from us, and know that we are praying with every bit of energy we have that this is a minor setback and that he will be better. Keep us posted. We're out here worrying with you.

Oh, Sue you two are definitely in my prayers today. Keep your chin up and Give Killian a pooch smooch for me. Positive thoughts only.
Please let us know as soon as he sees the Dr.
If he's not drinking water, though, I'd take him in and let them give fluids until Dr. Ball can see him.

Sue, I don't come in very often, just so busy, but for some reason I decided to see what was going on and I have tears in my eyes reading your post. Killian has gone through so much, I will pray and think positive thoughts that this is another episode, Killian just has to get better, what a brave soul he is, giving you kisses during this time. All of the strength I have is going to him right now for him to recover from this. Please give him some hugs and kisses from us. He is much loved.
Jackie, Perry and Miss Daisy

He finally drank some water and ate two teaspoons of canned tuna in oil. Thank goodness for small favors! He is resting now. At least he stopped pacing and bumping into things. Both my son and daughter asked if he could see....my son held something out for him and he found it by sniffing, not by looking...my son said. It was cheese and he took it but dropped it and left. That is not like Killian at all (except when his liver is acting up.) I do know the signs of liver disease....pacing, nervousness, lack of appetite, head pressing (he's not doing the head pressing). This has me scared. I know he is 9 yrs. old with liver-d and autoimmune-d, but I'm still not ready. I can tell he has lost a few of his extra pounds we had on him. That's ok, he can still lose more without me being upset.
Just when you get comfortable and feeling like he can live forever (ok, for years), then liver-d raises it's ugly head and hits you in the heart.
He will be ok, he will be ok, he will be ok......

He will be ok, He will be ok, He will be ok. You know, if it is God's will, he WILL be ok. You hang in there.
