Rhi,

Michelle it is Animal Eye Care , they have a clinic at Weribee every thursday.. i cannot remember what street the other clinic we went to is in ;).
Penny is doing ok, still plodding along, eating/ drinking when prompted etc. She is going back to our vets on Monday and may be started on some different drops as these ones have not kicked in yet.

With a heavy heart we have decided it would be unfair to put Penny through surgery, so at the moment we are keeping her as pain free as possible and she will let us know when it is time.. some people may not like our choice but our little dog is so frail.. the life has gone out of her eyes today :(.
ETA: She will be off to our vets later today to see what else we can do to help her & for more blood work to be done.. i still have hope that she will improve.. we can only hope.
My God, that poor little thing has been through so much. I feel so bad. I didn't catch all of this but this eye problem - was that part of her illness in the summer time? I'm keeping her in my prayers. She was doing really well for awhile. Sending positive thoughts your way.

Oh I missed your last update, Rhi. I am so sorry to hear that Penny is doing so poorly. I am sure that you and your family will make the best and most loving decisions for her all along the road. In her frail state you would hate to have her not make it through the operation. I will keep you and Penny in my prayers.
{{{Hugs}}}
Rhi,
Sorry to hear Penny is not doing so well .............. (((hugs))) to you .....
Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone, they do mean alot to us.
angelchampy nope hey eyes were fine when we were away (holidays), when we got back and during the last time she was sick. Her eyes have only just started to flare up in the last month or so.Quote:

The poor little girl has had an off day today, not eating much, sleeping more than usual, heavy breathing :(. She does not appear to be in pain and she is drinking, and will still get up to bark "random things" ;). We will take each day as it comes.
We are not coping too well here at the moment :(. With a broken heart i think it is nearly time to let her go :(.
We go back to the vets at 3 this afternoon (Friday) :(.
:( I will be thinking of you and your family and holding you close in my thoughts tonight.
Oh Rhi - I am sitting here, thinking of you ............. and sending you BIG BIG hugs.
I'm so sorry to hear about Penny. :( It is very difficult to make a decision like this, I know you and your family love her so much and you are only doing what is best for her. {{hugs}}
I'm so, so sorry to hear the sad news about Penny, Rhi:( Please give your precious girl and hug and kiss for me. She has been a big part of Pet Talk for so long:( I'm heartbroken:(:(:(

So sorry to hear about Penny. :(
(((HUGS)))
Rhi, I'm so sorry Penny is doing so poorly. :( {{{hugs}}}
Thanks for all the good thoughts once again everyone {{Hugs}}. Well it has been one heck of a rollercoaster ride in the past 48 hours, the little bugger decided she was hungry last night and actually ate something :eek:.. after not eating for quite a while. And tonight when we were eating dinner she got up and came over to beg for human food *tears*.. which resulted in her eating quite a lot of steak.
She is not out of the woods yet and we are trying to not get our hopes up.. but it is a start. We are going to take the dogs away somewhere tomorrow because my guys have not been exercised in the last couple of days as we have been too upset about little miss Penny. In the morning Penny will be going to the vets and we will have a chat to see where to go from here. It still might not be good news but we can hope.
I will keep you all updated.
One of the first things I do when I log on is check to see how Penny is doing. {{{hugs}}} I hope this is a sign that better health is on it's way.
Pawsies crossed for you little Penny
It certainly doesn't sound like the sweet girl is ready to give up yet! Penny and you are in our prayers.

OMG, we may have a miracle....I've been in tears for two days now, so heartbroken over the loss of Duke, learning of the passing of our beloved Graham, of Bowser's and Phred's great challenges and Penny, sweet Penny...but now, paws crossed, a ray of hope. Tears here too Rhi and more prayers for your precious baby girl. HUGS to you and your dear Mom, Penny! I'll be thinking of you both with love.
Sandra~
She has gone down hill again :(.. anti biotics and anti inflamatorys are not working and she has stopped eating again. Penny gets to stay at the vets Wednesday for x rays and ultrsounds.. i am dreading what they will find.. but know in my heart what it is :(.
Good thoughts would be appreciated thankyou & thankyou for all the good thoughts, prayers and hugs previously they mean so much to us.
Oh I'm so very sorry to hear this:(
Good thoughts and prayers headed Penny's way.
:( Oh, not a good way to start the New Year. I will be saying lots of prayers for Penny this weekend and next week.
I'm so sorry. Many prayers that she gets through this. :(
I'm so sorry Penny isn't doing well. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. {hugs}
I'm so sorry to hear that. We're here for you. I hope it's not bad news at the vet. Penny gets better. I know it's hard.
I'm sorry to learn the "Penny" seems to have "Gone Down Hill" again :(
{{HUGS}} and Prayers, For you and Sweet Penny~
Rhi,
Any news?
{{{hugs}}} to you.
Well the little bugger started eating again, but is starting to lose the weight that she had put back on. She is still booked in for ultra sounds and x rays tomorrow so i will update with the results as soon as they come in.
Thanks again everyone.
Paws crossed for an encouraging update tomorrow and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, precious Penny. We love you.
{{{HUGS}}}
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Penny. Please get well Penny!!!
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Continued prayers for Penny.
Thanks again everyone {{Hugs}}. I have been having computer troubles so have not been able to update as often as i would like to.
The day Pen was booked on for ultrasounds etc there were quite a few (Well 4) emergency cases bought into the vets so they were busy saving lives (And trying to save one poor soul).. Pen sat at the vets for 5 hours and we decided to wait and do the scans in a few weeks time as the little 'darling' has picked up so well again.
She actually got a peice of meat stuck in one of her teeth last night and i found a rotton tooth right up the back that had been hiding whilst trying to get the bit of meat out. So we are thinking that has been a problem for a while now..that will be seen to and pulled asap ;).
But she is eating like a pig, drinking well and she walked right around the park Tuesday night after it cooled down a bit :D. She even got an extra burst of energy yesterday and jumped from her 'step ladder' up onto the couch.. she has not been able to do that for a very long time... i am not sure if she looked shocked or proud of herself lol.
Thanks again, and i will keep you updated.
Glad to hear Penny is perking up! :D
Good to hear Penny is doing well. :)
I am so happy to hear she's doing so well :D I hope she continues to do better and feel good. Hug her for me.
Thanks everyone :). The little girl continues to do well, still eating and starting to become that typical little terrier we use to know ;). It was mouse hunting time last night and she was going nuts hunting lol.
Here she is last week with her new brother who is due home this coming weekend......
