Oh, I'm so sorry! Lots of prayers flying from me for sweet Amy and you too!

Oh LAURA!!! I know how much you love sweet Amy and how this must be hurting you so badly! Gosh, you know if I lived near you, she could stay with me during your work days. I'm sure the warm wash rag will be sufficient, as long as she isn't having diarrhea or anything like that. You may have to soak her back end in a warm tub of water every now and then too, just for an extra cleansing. I think looking into boarding her at the vets would be a great idea too ... that way you KNOW that she is right where she needs to be if any problem arises!!! Surely they wouldn't charge you too terribly much? You might also do some checking around and pricing with petsitters to come in and do the same. Then you can compare prices between the petsitter and your vet. Gosh, I wish I could come up with a better answer for you!!!

Sweet brother Chester is feeling frustrated too .... poor little guy! I bet he and maybe one of the other girls will tend to start helping her clean herself. Can she still bend well enough to do any of that herself? Poor girl.... this is just so sad.

Laura, please don't keep these things to yourself anymore ... you know that we are all here for you, through good and bad times! Many prayers coming for you and dear Amy!

EDIT: Laura, ask your vet how much it would cost for Amy to board there for your 28 days away. I would be more than happy to help with the cost, and I am betting someone else here would be too!!!

Kim, Alechia already quoted me a price for boarding her but dummy me forgot to ask if that was to cage her or put her in a room. If she had to be caged for 28 days, she would just grieve herself to death within the first week.. Also, she has NEVER been without other furry companionship, that is how Giz came to be ours, to be Amy's companion so I don't know if she could "tag" along for the ride or cost me to stay with Amy... I am going to ask all those questions tomorrow when Alechia calls me. They have always been so sweet to Amy down there that I woud not worry a second if I choose to leave her there. They give her the run of the place most of the time she is there and Alechia holds her a lot.

Amy is able to still clean herself, she spends a lot of time doing that now and she must be doing a good job because I have not picked up any smell when I hold her and I have buried my nose in her fur on her hips. Chester tip toes around behind her and smells everywhere she lays. I will do the warm wash rag on her next time I find her wet and see how she tolerates that. She is still that determined little girl and would rather do things herself.. Haven't found any wet on the puppy pads yet.

Oh Laura, I am so sorry to hear Amy's not doing so hot. You know that we (you and I) don't know each other at all really, but for some reason Amy always sticks in my mind. I think it's because we suspect our Abby has a slight CH issue as well. Her back legs are so uncoordinated. (Our vet doesn't agree.) I surely hope your vet can board Amy (and a playmate) for a reasonable cost so you have some peace of mind while you're off on the boat. In my mind, the important thing, which you already said, is quality versus quantity. I know you will do what is best for Amy. Hugs !!
