Bassett's surgery...

Can't stop thinking of you Naomi and Bassett... praying hard for some good news. Love to you both. Sandra, Mr. B and Oliver

I woke up thinking about Bassett and Kia............our babies that need our prayers right now.

I hope that good news will be posted today.

Actually, this is going to sound kinda weird but I dreamt of Bassett last night. In fact I dreamt that because my balcony door is open all the stray cats came in and my 2 bdrm apt was run amuck with kitties and one of them was Bassett (must stop eating cheese before going to bed :eek: ) Anyway, I'll be checking in all day for an update too.

Well, this is the big day for Basset & Naomi.........everything here is crossed and waiting!! I just know that she is going to post some GOOD news!!

Any news yet????

Our fingers and paws are crossed for you that all will go well with the surgeon...

Cheryl, Emily, and Tanner

Hoping and praying for a good report. Please Naomi, check in when you can. Love...

yes, please let us know...

No update yet?? Oh dear. I'm off for the day. I'll just have to check for updates when I'm over at my brother's on Sunday night.

Praying that everything's OK Naomi!!

Oh gosh, i'd been away.. (((HUGS))) I am so sorry you are going through this... I'm eagerly awaiting the news from your appointment today and how you and Bassie are feeling. Give her kisses for me.

You hang in there. We're all here for you no matter what!

Sorry for the long delay! Yesterday I had my graduation ceremony and today I took Bassett for her cosultation. I haven't had time to check in until right now, I just walked in the door!

The consult went very well. The surgeon thinks that Bassett is a great candidate for surgery, and she has no concerns at all that Bassett will pull through. The success of the surgery is kind of a wait and see thing. I really liked her and I really feel like she is very competant. She also said that if I am going to go ahead with this, she wants to do it within the next couple of weeks. So, I hope to have made a final decision by monday.

Bassett did very well with the trip, considering the weather. It's very warm here and she was so hot, but she's such a little trooper. I just wiped her down with a cool towel, and if that doesn't work, I'll give her a bath tonight.

Anyway, I haven't gone over my notes for the consult yet, so I can't really say any more until I get it all straight in my head. I just didn't want to leave you hanging anymore :) I will post either late tonight or tomorrow with more information. For right now, Bassett is just happy she's home!

And so are we....

Thinking of you both :D

I, too, am glad that Bassett is home! Get some rest, Naomi and Bassett. You two are going to need to take it easy for a while.

Naomi, I'm glad the visit to the vet (surgeon) went well. It's so important that it's someone you like and trust. :)

Thanks for taking time to post. Get some rest over the weekend and hopefully you'll be able to decide what's best for Bassett.

Hugs to you and kisses to Bassett!

Naomi - you're in my thoughts - you're head must be in a whirl.
Hugs to both you and Bassett. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

What welcome news!! I'm SO happy for you and Bassett! And it sounds like you have complete confidence in your vet Naomi and that is so important and comforting, I'm sure! Now, you all get some rest and love on one another...I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers!! Hugs and cuddles to you sweet Bassett!:) Welcome Home! Love, Sandra, Mr. B and Oliver

That's encouraging news! Still thinking of you both and wishing you all the best.

This sounds good. There is so much you have to deal with now!
We think of Basset and you. :)

I just took Bassett to the emergency vet. She was open mouth breathing. If I can find the money to do this surgery, I'm going to go for it. She needs it. I can't keep having her tapped every three days.

I just don't know what to do for the cost. It's a LOT of money. I need a 50% deposit, and the estimate was $4750. Where am I going to find money like that? Luckily, I can pay the remaining balance over three months. I told her that I JUST graduated and had not yet found work, and so once the deposit is paid, I have three months to come up with the rest. Sigh. It's so much money, but Bassett really needs this porcedure. Please pray that the answers will somehow become clear to me :(

OK this may be just a little unorthadox, but at the risk of making people angry.............here goes:

At least 30 people answered this thread. And I know for a fact that there are probably at least 20 MORE people on Pet Talk (if not more) who would also be interested.

If each one of us could afford to send Naomi $25 she'd have half of the amount that she needs for a deposit.

I WILL be willing to help.

Who else is with me????????????????

(for those not financially able, do NOT feel embarrased or pressured)

EDIT: $25 is just a number I chose to use, it is not mandatory

Not sure if I can send $25 but I can send some.
Just let me know where.

Good morning..........count me in..........I just need an address....and the veterinarian's name.

And how could anyone be angry over such a non-selfish and generous idea?

Bassett is doing much better this morning. She is breathing better and does not appear to be struggling. However, she still seems like she isn't feeling "good". I don't really know how else I could describe it. I know she is too hot. It's been really warm and humid here the past couple of days, and so I've been putting ice packs and frozen water bottles down for them. I'm hoping that her discomfort is because of the heat and nothing else. I haven't been to Jen's thread yet, but I'm heading there now. Thank you all SO MUCH for all your help. It means everything to me :)

Count me in too! That and ALOT of prayers!!

Naomi, you can count on my help too. :) Please take care.

I answered on the other thread. The cheque's in the mail and the prayers are on the way. We love you and Bassett and just want to do everything we can.

luv

It's done..

Bassett's surgery is on June 23rd. I take her in at 9am and drop her off.


Wish us luck!

Best of luck Bassett, we'll be thinking of you all day (and your Mum too)

Naomi, I am putting a check in the mail right now.

Sas

See the other thread, the vet's office suggested credit card payments by phone might be simpler, and they've agreed to facilitate that, send receipts, etc.

See here

sounds like a wonderful vet clinic!:)

How could I miss all this with all my worrying about Luna? :( I feel so bad now! :(

Poor poor Bassett, and poor Nomilynn!

But it's wonderful to see how many people here want to help, and that Dr. Schiller sounds like a good vet!

Best wishes and good luck for your surgery!

Kirsten

I wish you both the best of luck at the surgery.
Take care&Best wishes:)

Dear Naomi, I am so sorry I knew nothing about this. Today I managed to sit down a while longer and I read this thread completely!
Oh, I'm so sorry for Bassett! I will pray that all goes well!Isn't PT the best family in the whole world?!!!!
