Prayers For Lily, Please! UPDATE #2

[RobiLee]

My sister and her dog, Lily, could really use some positive thoughts and prayers. Lily is a 12 year old Westie and she will be turning 13 in March. Lea (sister) has started to notice some signs of Lily's health failing. Lily has been having some potty problems, mostly frequent urination, some shakes, she's been drinking lots of water and not eating for the past couple of days. Lea has also noticed a patch of hair has fallen out. She took Lily to the vet this morning and had some blood work done. Diabetes has been ruled out. Lea did some research on the internet and says all the systems sound like kidney failure. We don't want to jump ahead of ourselves though and are trying to be patient and see what the vet has to say. Lea has had Lily since she was a teeny tiny puppy and Lily means the world to her. I know you all know that feeling and how hard it is to watch our dogs grow older and to have their health decline. Lets hope this is nothing and can be easily taken care of. I would really appreciate some of those Pet Talk Prayers and Positive Thoughts for Lily and Lea, please.

Thanks Everyone!

Here is our girl, Lily. This was taken a couple years ago.

Prayers coming your way! There were several times in Oreo's last years that we thought she was "in trouble" with her health but she pulled through each time. I guess it is just a part of getting older.

Robin this does sound like it might be kidney related. Possibly stones. It's the exact same symptoms my RB Killer had. She went through 4 surgeries for this problem in her 13 years of life. It was heartbreaking. Even with strictly adhering to a special diet and meds it still wouldn't stop coming back. My thoughts and prayers are going out for Lily and Lea. I hope she will be okay

Robin I'm sorry to hear Lily is having problems. I do hope that it's not kidney failure and like Diana said, she'll pull through.
Please let Lea know I'll be saying a prayer for them both.

Oh Robin, I'm so sad to hear this. What a beautiful girl and yes, we all can relate to what your family is feeling Sending lots of love and prayers for precious Lily. Hopefully it is something that can be treated easily, Robin. Give her a hug for me next time you see her and please, keep us updated.

Love, Sandra

prayers going out for Lily, she's very sweet looking. If it turns out she's having kidney problems, don't despair - I went through my cat's problems with his kidneys this past year, and it's possible to live with kidney problems for quite a long while. just wait for the vet to get back the tests.
