I hope the news about dear Killie continue to be good and that the medication really worked. It's encouraging to know he's eating a bit more. You are both still in my thoughts.

It is so good to hear that Killian is doing better. :) Will continue to keep him, and you, in my prayers and thoughts.
Hey Killi, Star never made it to your house...something about running out of gas;) But, she wanted me to tell you that she and Cody have actually convinced their Mom to cook a really BIG, turkey with all the trimmings, and it would be our pleasure to set a place at the table for YOU! (And Shiloh, of course!) Humans are not welcome! It's a doggies only affair. And, in the event you are unable to attend, she says she'd be more than happy to mail you a plate!:rolleyes: But the most important thing of all is that you're eating again Killi! Here's hoping the medic. has taken hold and you're feeling better and better every day! Love to you and sweet Shi! Your bestest pals, Aunt Sandra, Star***Shine and CodyGirl!
Shiloh woofs out, " Hey, Killi, where ya going?? What's ur hurry?? Whattaya mumblin'? Turkey legs, dressing??? Huh, that's not til Thanksgivin'! Mom, where's he goin?.........(as Killi rushes out the door).......Hey!!!!!!!!!!)"!!!

Glad to hear he is still eating, if only a little. Your still in our thoughts and prayers that things will keep getting better.
Killi up-date:
Shiloh here:
This mornin' Killi didn't wanna eat too much, so I ran over to his bowl and started chowin down when....ughhhhhh. Mom tried this chicken canned dog food....phewie!!!! I did not like it! Now, I like almost anything (including a good bee or wasp at times) but this stuff was ICKY. No wonder the Kill-boy wouldn't eat it. Mom says she'll feed him some good stuff instead. Time to get back to the old beef, rice, etc. meals. Those are GOOD!!!!
Still waitin ta see if the meds keep his mouthy ok!
Gotta go take a nap now, bye!
EWWW! Canned doggie food, no wonder you didn't want it;)
Now momma can get you some really GOOD food again, just keep up the eating, ok?!
Shilih,
So sorry to hear that Killi didn't eat today. Perhaps if your mommy gives him some better tasting stuff, he will want to chow down.
Keep helping your mom take care of Killian, OK?
OK, Mom, time to get back to the stove!! Shi, I think we should name you the official taste tester. It has to pass Shiloh's paw of approval before it's offered to our Killian! Time to give the old "Killi cheer!" Killian, Killian, he's our man, he can do it, we know he can!!" We love you Killian!!:_
Thank you everybuddy, right now Mom is cooking up my beef, rice, egg, bread concoction. I think I might eat it. I didn't like that yucky stuff this morning. I got an ouchy pain this afternoon. I yelped out and ran. Mom doesn't know where I hurt.
Bark to ya later!
Killi
Sue,
I just hate to hear the fact that Killian has so much
pain with this awful disease. I think they bear a lot of
pain at times and never show it outwardly. When they
do yelp out, you know it must really be hurting them.:(
I hope once he is able to eat more that he starts to feel
much better. Hugs to that brave boy Killian & his loving
Mom.
Sorry you were hurting poor boy. I hope your meds can get rid of your pain soon.
Oh, I know that yelp of pain, it makes you hurt too. The other morning Angus was really sore & had a big problem getting up. After he finally stood up, he just stood there & cried, so I just hugged him & tried to get him moving (he usually feels better then, he gets really stiff in his right back leg), gave him an asprin & in no time he was as good as new.
Oh, poor sweet Angus, I am familiar with the pain that your poor boy is going through because my first GSD had hip dysplasia (with surgery to correct) but in the end, arthritis set in. The same with my Great Pyr in that arthritis set in where her ACL surgery was done.
The vet said that Killian's front elbow has arthritis, too. She didn't say anything more about it (because of his more pressing issues), but I fear that there are no meds that he can safely take for it because of his liver. When it acts up, I don't know what our options are. We will cross that bridge when we come to it though.
Well, today Killi ate his homecooked liver diet!! ( I had to add a little bit of hot dog to get him started though). He is still not acting his old self. He is better, not still not well. I think we may have to have the mouth done again even though it is too soon. My poor baby!
Thanks, all.
Oh, you poor sweetie:( I feel so bad for you & wish I could do something to help.
I'm glad he at least ate some:)
Well, how's it been going for Killian & you Sue? Has he been eating, feeling any better? Just wondering.
Anna
Thanks for asking, Anna.
Hi, all,
He still has to be coaxed into eating, but with a little braunschweiger mixed in, he is back to eating his liver diet. (whew) His breath is still clear. I hope it stays that way. That is what I am praying for. He is still mopey, not his old self. He doesn't get up to visit with everyone like he used to. He sleeps more than I would like him to. If this continues, he may have to be tested again. I'll wait a while, though.
Even just a little bit better is good news.:) We join you in your prayers for a complete recovery very soon for dear Killian.
Oh yes, any improvement is great! He's eating mostly, he's not yelping, he's better! We are winning the battles and keeping the war as far away as possible!!
PS, I think all your prayers have a great deal to do with his recoveries!! Thank you.
Glad to hear he's still eating & not yelping.
Like everyone has said, some progress is better than none. We'll keep praying for sweet Killian:)
Hi Killian! So glad to hear you're eating for your Mommy and that your mouth is feeling better dear boy:) Now we're hoping tand praying hat before long you'll get that famous Killi spirit back! Get well soon Killi Man. Lots of hugs, kisses and slurpy licks from Aunt Sandra, Star***Shine and Cody Girl!!
Killi update, please:)
Hello, everybuddy,
Killi, here.
Thank you for asking about me Aunt Sandra. I'm still mopin' around the house yet. I got no energy. Shiloh wants me ta play, but I don't wanna. I still like to go for a walk or car ride, tho. I'll eat my liver food only if mom puts braunschweiger in it. My mouthy ain't stinky yet, so that's good. Guess what. Today my skin sister had to go get an emergency root canal!! It must run in the family!
Love to you all!! (Hi, Star ;) and Cody :)
Just wanted Killi to know we're still thinking about ya and we love ya, I'm sure Shiloh understands and I hope you feel better soon.
Jackie, Miss Daisy and Perry
Glad Killian is eating better. I need a root canal, but can't get it done till November 1st :( No opennings at any of the dentists around here!
Hope you start feeling better, Killi. I know Shiloh would really love to play!
EEEEWWWWW Souraya, that sounds yucky.
Killi, I'm glad you don't have halatosis again...I'm sure Shiloh and Mommy are very happy about that!;) But, seriously, I hope you feel better enough soon so you can play with Shiloh again.
Hello...hello... Killi? You there Killi?? Star here!:) Hey, Mom gave me some puter time and I just had to paw you off a note! I'm glad yer eatin better Killi. But, do ya think if I hoofed it out ta yer place I could get ya to romp and play a bit? I can be pretty obnoxious and I'm sure I could annoy you enuf to get ya back on 4 paws!:D Of course, I love car rides too and we could always have yer Mom take us fer a spin!:) Well, you let me know Killi. Ya know I'd do anything to make my Killi feel better! Well, you have my email address. Let me know! We love you Killi! Love, yer bestest pals, Star***Shine and Cody Girl!
Shiloh here.
The only budy Killi plays with is my skin brother. When I run at him full speed and pounce on his neck and bite him (gently, of course) emitting a loud growl.....he just turns and strolls away from me.:rolleyes: Star***, if you come over, maybe he'll play with you!! Well, if he won't, you, me and Cody could play anyway and he could stand and watch, the old party-poop! :p
Nurse Sandra performing her nightly rounds on all the patients!:) How are you feeling Killian?? Hope you're chowing down on all the good stuff and feeling a little peppier! Star and Cody send you lots of slurpy bedtime kisses! Nite nite Killi, Shi and Aunt Sue!! Love, Sandra and yer bestest pals!
Aunt Sandra!!!!!!!!
I am feeling better now. Last night I chewed on my bone (I let Shiloh start it up for me first LOL)! I was feeling like my old self today, too. Woohoo, your prayers are working! Thank you everyone!
