Major LES here. I am not a religious person, but these prayers have brought tears to my eyes.
Please know that Lady and Tracy will be in my thoughts.
I am so sorry that Lady's condition is so dire. :( The next time you see
the Vet, would you please have the Dr. write down the name of her disease
or medical issue? What treatment is he/she going to be giving Lady?
Michelle, thank you. This picture is so beautiful. It means so much more to me then I think you can imagine. That picture made me cry, both tears of sadness and tears of appreciation to all of the PT members that have been her for Lady and myself.Quote:

Thank you everybody for your wonderful words. I will update once I get some answers.
I wonder if she has DIC - Disseminated intravascular coagulation.
I will keep Lady in my prayers for as long as needed.

That does sound familar. He said it so fast that I was not able to catch the medical name.Quote:

I am so upset Tracy. I just got on the computer and I'm so sorry to see this. I'm fighting back the tears. All we can do now is to keep praying as hard as we can for this gentle soul. You've done all you can do for her. Bless you. It's in God's hands now. I can only hope that she'll be okay but if she has to go to the bridge, let it be a safe, swift journey. We love you Lady!!! You gave her the only chance she had for a few good days in her life. If she has to leave us, she'll leave her legacy. Her beautiful little pups will remind us of her.
PLEASE GET WELL LADY!!! You're such a fighter and a survivor girl. We just need one more PT miracle for this sweetheart :(
Phred: We need you please :(
Gary: Can you get the Found Cat Angels to look after Lady?
The vet called, but I was putting my boys' to bed and missed the call. He left a message. He said Lady is doing well. Her blood count is a little lower then earlier (it was 24 this morning, but he did not give me a number of what it is now), but he thinks that is due to the IV fluids she has been getting. He said he will call me before 9:30 am tomorrow and talk to me about her. He also said the Parvo test came back negative. So that is a bit of good news.
I want to take a minute to say thank you everybody. This is very hard. But whatever the outcome is, I want everybody to know how appreciative I am of all of you. You have really helped me through this. If it is Lady's time to leave this world, I will miss her deeply, but I will know she left with a heart filled with love and was loved emensely (sorry for my spelling) in return. Her pups will grow on and thrive because her selflessness. They will grow strong and she will watch over them from the Rainbow Bridge, and she will be with my childhood dogs and they will show her around and give her love and plenty of BONES!! I pray that god will make his decision on her soon and not let her suffer anymore. I would love to see her here with me again and better, but I can not be selfish...she never was. Whatever the next days bring...I am prepared. Deep inside my heart I feel as if it is over. That may be grim to some of you, but there is a reason. You see, Lady never kisses on the face...only the hand. When I said my good bye to her she gave me a small kiss on the chin. Whether it was her just licking her lips or if she meant to kiss me, I will never know. But for some reason I feel like she was saying good bye to me as well. I walked out of the vet's office feeling like that was the last time I would see her.
I am sorry if I am depressing you guys, I just needed to tell that to somebody. I know you will understand and support me. Dave is great, but he doesn't understand, if he does he is not good at showing it. Thanks for listening. I hope my feeling are wrong. I will post an update after I hear from the vet tomorrow. Thank you again PT.
Thank you for posting so late, Tracy. I can understand how you felt when she kissed you :( I can't stop crying.
You're so right, Lady was never selfish and we can't be either. I still have to keep the faith that it will be God's will to let her stay with us on this earth for awhile. My heart breaks for you. You're such a good person and you go through so much. Thanks you for everything and {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
Just know in your heart that she was able to feel love for the first time when she met you. You're an angel walking among us. :(
I can't get over how pretty she is in the picture of her on the prayer that Michelle made for her. She looks so bright eyed and healthy.
BIG ((((HUGS)))) to you!! and you're not depressing me, you're telling how you feel and there's nothing wrong with that. If Lady has to go to the bridge, I know with all my heart she will be there waiting for you since you rescued her and gave her so much love and care that she has never had in her life.
Bless your heart for taking her in. You truly are an inspiration and I mean that. I know Lady is very thankful you found her when you did and her puppies, too. I will keep Lady in my prayers. I believe when she kissed you
it was her way of thanking you for giving her the best days of her life and that you did. I really hope she makes it. :(
:( Oh no Lady. Poor girl, stupid people who did this to you!
I hope you pull through. Stay strong.
Tracy your last post was so sad.I really hope she makes it she has fought so much already.

/s/ the Prayer Pups
..
Tracy, I was so touched by your beautiful attitude. There are things for which we never will get answers. I'm praying Lady recovers, but if not, may she go peacefully and painlessly. I'm sure she understands all you've done for her in her short life. *Sigh*. Sometimes life sucks.
(((HUGS))) I am so sorry. I am so speechless, but you are in my prayers. LES. :(
Poor little Lady.......I do hope your suffering stops soon, whatever the outcome may be. I have sent another donation towards the vets bills with all my love
Wow. I am praying that Lady will come through this ok.
As someone else mentioned, if the worst does happen, please know that the time that she has spent with you has likely been the happiest time of her life.
Thank you for providing that for her, and keep us posted!
I am sorry I have not replied before to this thread, but I've been following it. I am sorry to hear what you and poor Lady are going through, it must be very hard. I will be keeping the beautiful girl in my prayers. ((Hugs))
Thank you Phred and the Prayer Pups. Hoping for some good news this morning Tracy. Hang in there. We're all with you. I can only imagine the agony you're going through. {{{{{HUGS FOR YOU AND LADY}}}}}
Ahh yes.. there's Phred and the prayer pups!
Oh Tracey... I wish I could be near you right now to give you a big hug!
You've done so much for Lady and her pups and she knows it.
You have a great attitude about this and I praise you for it.
We're all here for you and Lady, whatever the outcome may be.
My prayers and thoughts are with you both this morning.
{{{hugs}}}
Tracy, I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you and lady this morning. I hope there is a good update. But know that no matter what the outcome Lady was shown the true meaning of love by you and your family and she knows it. We are all here for you both.
((((HUGS))))
Michelle
Prayers going out for you and sweet Lady :(
First I would like to thank everybody for your wonderful support through all of this. Your posts have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for loving Lady so very much. Brody's Mum, thank you for your generous donation....yet again. You are an angel.
I spoke to the vet. It is not good. He said her illness is Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and something else that sounded like Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia, but he (again) said it so fast it was hard to understand. This is what I found out about the illness:
IMT
He said she did eat well this morning and she is stable. Her blood count yesterday was at 20 and this morning it was at 18. He is very concerned about that. I told him I do not want her suffering he said she is not, she is just very tired and weak. He upped her dose of Prednisone this morning, he is hoping that helps. Dr. Whalen is going to do another blood test at 3pm. He said if at 3 her count is decreased and not gone up, it is time to make a decision. I asked him if I could be there with her and he said yes. He is going to do another blood test at 3pm. He told me to call him around 3:30, then he changed his mind and said for me just to come in. I am not having a good feeling about that.
I am sorry I do not know more. I will update after I get back from the vet office. Please pray for Lady....I have a feeling this is it...I am prepared. If this is what will be done then I will be there with her until the end and help her see her way "home" as hard as it will be. This will be my first time doing this, please pray for me to be strong too. This hurts so much. I know I only knew her a short time, but I feel like my heart is breaking it two. I am going to try to get her ashes, depending on the price, I hear it could be costly ... but at this point ... I just don't care about money.
Prayers .... Just prayers now.
Thank you all so much.
Your Lady loves you...and I am sure no matter what, she will manage a tiny wiggle butt for you.
HUGS to you...If Lady goes to the Bridge, take time to be gentle with yourself. You may be in shock and 'out of it' for a couple of days or more.
Praying for a turnaround, you never know! :)
I am glad she is feeling no pain.
HUGS HUGS HUGS
{{{{{Hugs For Tracy And Lady}}}}} :( :( :( :( :(
I am so sad to hear this. I so wanted her to live and be happy. AHA is what ended the life of my pup's grandpa when he was only 6. It was very hard on them too. My heart goes out to you both, I really wanted Lady to live. This is just so horribly upsetting. What a horrid day so far. I hope to hear better news this afternoon, but yeah. Give her a hug for me, tell her we loved her too.
Oh Tracy, my heart goes out to you and Lady. This is never an easy decision to make, but there are times when it is the only way to go. You will be sending her off with all your love, and she will know it.
Get her ashes - you will always regret if you don't. Another check to help with this will be going out tomorrow.
Tracy I will be there with you in the vet office holding your hand and helping you comfort Lady. Maybe not physically but in my mind and spirit. Lady has touched a special place in my heart. She really is a very special girl and will have the highest honor waiting for her when she does arrive at the bridge. I will hope beyond hope it is not today and that she will shock everyone and turn things around. She is a fighter this we know and so selfless. If anyone can do it she can. You know if she doesn't make it maybe you can keep one of her babies that way you will always have a special piece of her. A piece she gave all of herself to protect and love and nurture. No matter what that girl knows how much you love her and she will be waiting for YOU at the bridge. She loves you and appreciates all you have done for her and if the lost and greatest love you can show her is letting her go and be at peace she will love you all the more.
((((HUGS))))
Michelle
Please give Lady a kiss for me a tell her she is sooo loved by many. And that she is a very special girl who is a queen in so many eyes.
More ((((HUGS))))
Michelle
I have been following this and was praying that Lady would be able to turn things around. I still pray for that, with all my might.
Should it turn out for the worse though, know that you've gone above and beyond for her and her wiggle butt was your reward. You did well to take her in and give her a decent home. I've had to say good bye to too many pets over the last few years and it does not get any easier with each one. I cried my heart out over all of them. I also have all of their ashes on a special table in my front room, along with a special toy, dish, collar, etc. My memorial to my loved animals that have gone to the bridge. It has made the parting easier to take.
My thoughts will be with you this afternoon.
please God ... it's noon and I need Lady's complete blood count to improve by 3 PM ... please let it spike in response to the pred, God, I don't want her to cross the Bridge...
:( ...LES..
Oh Tracy... I'm so sorry.
She's put up a good fight, but like you said in an earlier post, it's not right to let her suffer any longer if she's not getting better.
You've given her such a Great home, that's all she's ever wanted. In you she found a wonderful forever home.. no matter how long or short her stay will be.
You are a savior to her and her pups, if it hadn't been for you who knows how long her suffering may have gone on.
If goD sees it necessary to take her, then so be it... please take comfort in knowing that she won't be alone in her passing. All of PT will be with her and we'll all be holding your hand as well. I am so upset and sad about this that it feels like she's one of my own. :( We've all been behind her... cheering her on and we've fought for her and we will till the end.
{{hugs}} to you both.
This whole thing has me in *tears* I pray with all my might that Lady makes a turn around. When you go to the vet please give that beautiful pittie girl a hug and kiss for me. Tracy, I'm so sorry about all this. (((hugs)))
Tracy,
I will pray with all my heart she makes a turn around. If she does have to go to the bridge, I know she is very thankful for you taking her into your care and you will see her again someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Lady. ((((HUGS)))) Please give the beautiful girl a hug and a kiss for me when you go back to the vet office.
The Pet Angels are with Lady Today not only The Cats , But Regis and Bosco My Dog Angels, who Alll want her to be well for her Pups.
We are praying that Lady can recover and go back to her Home where she is so loved.
Prayers for Lady, hugs for you.
Thinking of you and Lady :(
(((HUGS)))
Any news as of now? :/
I walked into the vets office and Dr. Whalen told me to come in back. Lady's blood count had dropped since this morning. He took me to see her. She got up and came to me...butt wiggling. She gave me kisses on my face and arms as I hugged her and told her I was sorry and that I loved her. I told her everybody loves her even though they did not know her. I told her she did good and she was a good girl, that her puppies were safe now and she can go knowing that. The doctor had me sign the consent form. He offered me her ashes, I said yes. He also offered me a little plaque that has her paw print on it, I told him yes. He led me to a room and put a blanket on the table for her. The vet tech brought her in and put her on the table. I gave her kiss after kiss and pet her and told her again I am so sorry and how much I love her. Dr. Whalen asked me if I was ready and I said yes. He injected it into her IV. She looked at me with loving eyes and layed down and fell asleep. I stayed with her for a about 15 minutes telling her she was "home" now and that she was all better. I kissed her good bye and walked out of the office in tears. I am still shaking. I just wish this would not have happened to such a sweet girl. Now she is at peace. I will miss her so much, I already do. I am so saddened, but so angry at her previous "owners". If only they would have cared for her. If only he would have loved her ... even just a little. It's over now and I loved her and I know she loved me. I just wish things could've been different for her. The vet said he will send me the bill ... at point I just don't care about the bill. I just wanted everybody to know. Rest peacefully my sweet Lady Baby.
I'm sitting here crying my eyes out! I'm so, so sorry! You did everything you could for sweet Lady. Most of all you showed her love and kindness, I doubt she ever got that from her so called owner. I cant type any more I honestly cant see through my tears.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. Lady is at peace now, and she had a wonderful life while you were with her.
((((HUGS))))
