Dear Cassie is not well

Merlin and I have been watching and praying for Cassie as old timers we remember sweet little Cassie. We continue to pray for the humans in her life as well as Cassie. Cinder and Smokes prayer says it all.

I hope dear little Cassie can pull through this. However, if not, you will know that you gave her every chance possible. My heart goes out to you. This is so hard. As Sandra said, I, too will pray for that miracle. They do happen. {{{hugs}}}

In my time here at Pet Talk I have met and followed the stories of so many wonderful pets. Cassie was one of the original pupsters that won my heart. Though I have never met this little puggily in person I was smitten by her pictures and Leslie's posts. I am so sorry to hear that she is not responding to all that is being done. This is the downside of Pet Talk. As we get to meet all of these precious pets we do indeed feel the sadness, right along with their humans, when they are hurting. Leslie there is nothing I can say right now to help little Cassie and I know you have given Cassie all of the love and happiness you could for as long as she has been a part of her life. I am still praying for that little cutie but I just wanted to let you know that whatever happens I completely understand. (((HUGS to you and your mom)))

Our prayers are with your and Cassie, and your family

Lesilie,

I feel so heartbroken right now. I imagine how awful you and your mother must be feeling. I will keep sweet Cassie in my prayers. If she does go to Rainbow Bridge next week, she will go knowing she is immensely loved and will be missed terribly. I hope all the prayers of Pet Talk will bring the girl some relief and comfort.

I am so sorry she is so sick :(

Leslie, I'm so sorry to hear that Cassie is still not
doing well. Many prayers being sent to dear Cassie
and to you.

Any news on Cassie...?:confused:

Leslie I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers.

So much sadness on our pettalk.

Leslie, I'm so sorry about little Cassie. We are thinking of her as well and sending good thoughts to add to all the others being sent her way. Fingers crossed that the next report is more positive for you and your family.

Leslie the following two lines from your last post say it all.


The vet told us that she does have a chance for pulling through this.
If by next Friday her quality of life has not returned, then we will say goodbye to our darling little friend.

I am keeping Cassie in my prayers that she may have the strength and resources to turn this around. Leslie you are wise in the way you are looking at this situation. I know your heart is breaking. Come on Cassie - fight, fight, fight!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Leslie. *hugs*

I'm praying for a miracle.

Has anyone heard how Cassie is doing? Still praying for the whole family.

Thank you so much everyone for the kind words. Sadly, Cassie is not showing any signs of improvement. The vet put her on a long course of antibiotics, but she is supposed to stay on them for a total of 21 days. I can't see her suffer for that long. It's not fair to her. She throws up so often that it's getting near impossible to give her the antibiotic. She'll keep it down for maybe 5 minutes and then it's in a pile of vomit.

We may be extending the time that we had originally planned on. I really don't think I can see her suffer for 21 days, but if the vet is sure it may help her, then we'll give it a try for as long as we feel necessary. If after two weeks she is still in the same condition that she's in now, we'll ask the vet what he thinks we should do at this point. Like I said before, the vets at the animal hospital are amazingly loving and kind. They would not intentionally keep an animal alive if it were not in the animal's best interest. They felt that she did have a chance of getting well enough to have her quality of life back, but they also told us that if she did not get well that they think she should be put to rest.

My mom and I are loving on her a LOT and reminding her how much we love her. She is enjoying all the special attention. She's still as sweet and gentle as always. She said thanks for all the nice words. It's so nice to have such love come towards her from all around the globe.

I just found out new news this evening. Cassie may be helping us make that most difficult decision :( My mom has been trying all night to give Cassie her antibiotic and she immediately vomits it up. :( It makes the decision easier but it is frustrating and sad. My mom was giving Cassie her antibiotic in about a teaspoon of canned food, but Cassie kept throwing up the teaspoon of food with antibiotic and mom kept picking the pill out and trying again with another teasapoon of food, only to have Cassie vomit it up. She then put the pill in a piece of cheese and Cassie ate it up, and then promptly vomited it up...pill and all. She then tried to pill her without any food, and Cassie vomited the pill :(

my poor little girl. :(

Oh poor, dear, sweet Cassie. I am so sorry, sweetheart. I wish you would get better. {{{{{HUG}}}}}
