Sue,

I'm glad to hear that Killian did eat some chicken.
I feel so bad for him having to go through all this again.
I'm hopeing the medication kicks in soon, and Killi starts
to feel more like eating again . Praying for him everyday.
Hugs to Killian & Shiloh. Liz.

Good boy, Killian!!:) Keep up the good work. We're sending you our love and prayers, sweetie.

Oh boy, I know that feeling when they eat for you. Your heart is breaking and leaping for joy all at the same time.

Killian, you are sure in my prayers and Mom Sue too!

That's so good to hear Sue. Keep up the good work. Killi, I hope you're feeling better real soon!

Well, short-lived celebration. This morning as he started to eat, he must have hit a sensitive area, let out a huge yelp and ran around the house in pain!! Now he's afraid to eat. This is very trying. Can't help him. Wish I could. I'll give the meds a little while longer, and then we may have to pull more teeth, even though it is too early since the last extractions and may jeopardize his health further. This is so hard. :(

Darn it, Sue. I was so in hopes that Killian would feel good this morning and have a good breakfast. Poor fellow :( , it breaks my heart to hear he, and you, are going through this.

Please know that we are continuing to pray for some relief for him.

Will cont. to pray for Killian. Nothing worse than seeing your baby in pain. I hope today gets better.

I am so saddened when I read about Killi having setbacks. I feel your pain, Sue. Killian is in my thoughts. Sue, I am so sorry that you have to see him in pain. I remember how helpless I felt when Graham had his orthopedic surgery last year and that crying is gut wrenching. I am so sorry :( I still send my good thoughts and wishes for Killi, and I think he can pull out of this latest episode.

How are you doing today, Killi??? Hope you're enjoying a little more chicken and maybe some icey good stuff! Love to you Killian from all of us.:)

Sue, I'm sorry to hear Killi's not feeling well again. Poor guy!! I, too, will keep him in my prayers and good thoughts. Let us know!

Is Killian doing any better today? Oh, I sure hope so. I'm keeping you both in my prayers. I couldn't imagine having to deal with all your going through right now.
Give him a big hug from me. Please update soon, ok?

Thank you for your on-going prayers.

Last night, he would not eat. So I let him be, thinking this morning he should want to eat something. This morning he passed up his food. I did get him to eat some ham and cheese with great coaxing and the threat of Shiloh eating all the food.

As a result of Woofstock on Sunday, where a reporter from our newspaper brought her black GSD, Killian and I are going to be in a feature story about canine nutrition and diets. The reporter was impressed with the liver diet I feed Killi, so they included him in the report and want a picture me with him eating his food. LOL! I told her it isn't going to happen, he won't eat. So, I guess we'll be either spiking his food with chicken or leaving the food out of the picture! How ironic! Maybe we can substitute Shiloh, she'll eat anything!!! LOL

Oh Sue, I missed your post yesterday about Killi's setback. I am so saddened to hear that he is going through so much pain and you are going through so much difficulties.

I am not sure what the liver diet is made of, but can it be pureed so that he lick it and eat it as opposed to chewing it?

Souraya, it is ground beef, rice, bread, and egg. It is in real small crumbly pieces. He usually just sticks his tongue in and swallows it without chewing. I'm counting on him eating some chicken today.

Oh, I sure do hope he eats. Poor Killi.
Please update us when he eats :)

Sue, have you ever tried chicken soup?? I was thinking you could maybe make up a bowl of fat free chicken or beef broth with some cooked rice, shreded chicken or crumpled hamburger and even soak some bread in it. Lapping up the mostly liquid soup he would get down the rice and a little meat too. I'm so sad that Killian had such pain trying to eat. He is so brave. I hope he will feel enough to pose for the article himself; eating:) We love you Killi. Please get better.

This absolutely breaks my heart. Yes, it must be unbelievably hard. You've done so much, tried so much...and to see these episodes has to be just the worst. Dearest Killian. Your mommy loves you and we all love you. I can't help but crying for you sweet boy.

Thank you for all your encouragement.

When the photographer was here for the photo shoot, he, of course, would not touch his food. She took a lot of pics of him. I hope she got a good one. He really didn't look like his old self. I can't wait for the story to come out! After she left, I gave him some roasted chicken that I had to hand feed him with Shiloh next to him in competition for the food. He ate some! This morning I found Steak-ems (ugh!) in the freezer that my son bought, so I cooked up the whole box and fed him (and Shiloh) Steak-ems and swiss cheese. Sheesh, WHEN he eats, he eats better than me!
Thanks for the tidbits soaked in soup idea, Sandra. I will try that, too. Today I'm going to try just some ground beef and hand feed him. At least now he is eating a little! My son is home today, so Killi's eyes are shining a little brighter for a while! And we go on....

I'm so glad to hear he's been eating a little, and is happy to see your son:) Keep it up boy!

:) Hugs and kisses!! You have a good night and ennjoy having your skin bro home, sweetie! Can't wait to see THE Killian in print! Nite, nite Killi! Love you SO much!

Sue,

Just checking in to see how Killian is doing today. Wow,
Steak-ums & cheese, sounds pretty good to me.:)
I'm praying right along with everyone else that this
setback is just temporary. We love you Killi.:) Liz.

Not eating again. Nothing this morning. :(

:( Kilil, we're rooting for you, boy!! I know it's hard when you're hurting....maybe a little something tonight???

Please eat a little for your mommy;)

Sue, my heart is aching for you as I read these posts. I am so, so sorry you are going through all this. You truly deserve the Mother of the Century award.

I pray Killian starts eating again and gets much better soon. I so much appreciate the support you gave me for the short time I had Nookie. The postitive part about this is you can help educate and support people who's dogs have this disease.

You and Killian are both strong and will overcome this setback. Take a deep breath and try not to stress yourself out. There are so many postitive thoughts and prayers going out for Killian that I am sure he will be eating in no time.

prayers coming your way killi boy poor thing

Oh Sue! Hope you and Killian had a good weekend. How is the dear pup doing? Has his appetite gotten any better?

Hope to hear an update soon.

Still very weak appetite. He'll eat a little (mushy stuff) and then stop. This morning I gave him some canned Nutro with braunshweiger and bacon grease. He ate a little, but I had to chase him around the house to do that. I hope this lack of appetite is just from the pills and not a liver issue.

Yesterday Shiloh threw up her guts (sorry, when she up-chucks, that's how she does it!!)! I can't believe how much stuff she had in her stomach!! Today she is fine though.

Thanks for the prayers, all, please keep them coming....

Sweet Killian, thinking of you and sending you our prayers for a quick end to your troubles. We hope you'll start eating again soon.

Killi, sweet baby boy...why aren't you eating?? I hope you start feeling better really soon. You are such a lucky boy to have such a caring mom who makes food especially for you. We're thinking of you everyday and will say prayers for you until you start eating and feeling better.

Sue, you are such a devoted mom. Keep up the good work and know that we're here for you for moral support.

Hi Killian. Try your best to eat a little, handsome boy. We are all praying that you'll be feeling better very soon, sweetie. We know you couldn't ask for a better, more loving Mom. Know what Killi???? Star***Shine asked me to send you her bestest Labbie butt wiggle and a big, wet, SLURRRRRRRRP!! Her paws are crossed daily, right along with Cody's and mine, praying that you'll be feeling better very soon! Love, Aunt Sandra, Cody Girl and Star***Shine.

Hay Killi, dis is Graham. pleeze eet, Killian. You are an axtra speshul boy an wen yoo dont eet, mi mom gits skared. i thenk yoo shood eet your yummies all up. i wish i kuld eet da stuf yer mom gives yoo. it sounds reely good. momma telled me to tell yoo dat she is thinkin about yoo lots.

Oh killi-monster! come on and eat for us...please? pretty please?

{{Killi 'n Sue}}

I hope and pray that our precious Killian feels better at this time.... Big {{{{HUGGS}}}} from me and Missy! :)

Hi Sue, I am hoping that this is a temporary setback in his eating. I'm not sure what he is not supposed to eat, our Vet had us give Kona some hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and instant rice, all mixed together. She was very ill, but would eat that mixture. Please know that our prayers are still coming to you and Killi and we send our love.
Jackie, Miss Daisy and Perry

Hello, Everybuddy, Shiloh here.

Just sayin that my brother Killi ate a little bit of food tonight. Our skin brother hand fed him sum food and he ate it. Not too much, but sum. I got a lot of it. I don't like Killi to be sick, 'cause he's just a mope when he is. He isn't too much fun like dat. I havta sit by him and give him kisses. If he yelps, I come runnin' from wherever I'm at and give him big slurps. Even if Mom is in the way, I push her on the side..I want to take care of Killi. Thank you for thinkin bout him. Well, I gotta go check up on him......Goodnite.

Shiloh

Oh Shiloh, how sweet of you to look after your big brother :) I am glad to hear that Killian ate some yesterday. He must really like your skin brother :)

Sue, Killian is in my thoughts.
