*updated**Prayers needed* for sassy. I think it may be over..

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I had no idea about poor Sassy. I'm so sorry- my thoughts go out to you and Sassy.

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Oh no, Alyssa! Oh god, please don't let it be over!

Alyssa, I know how much you love Sassy, and you take wonderful care of her. I am not here to criticize you. I am here to send you and Sassy my love, and prayers. I hope everything turns around very soon for Sassy... keep us updated.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I know you've been dreading this, Alyssa. I am hoping and praying very hard that the vet will find a way for Sassy to get better. Maybe it's arthritis and some pain medication will help her.

I certainly hope no one would bash you over this. Nobody wants to hear of a beloved family member suffering. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Please give Sassy some kisses from us. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Positive vibes headed that way for Sassy.
I hadn't known of any health problems with her prior to reading this. Poor girl.
She'll be in my thoughts, and I'm hoping some options will come up!
((((hugs)))) to you, and give Sassy a gentle hug from me, will ya? =]

[BaileysMom]

What happened exactly? It sounds like what happened with Bailey and he's fine.

[shais_mom]

any news?
thinking of you.....

[Taz_Zoee]

Oh no!! Sassy (and family) will be in my thoughts. 9 is VERY young for such a small dog. My mom's min-pin is 17!!! She just has to get better. Positive thoughts coming from California!!

[Glacier]

There are some very good pain meds available now for dogs, much more effective than aspirin. My Goldie has chronic pain from an untreated pelvic fracture(broken long before she got to me). She was miserable before we found the right medication. She's been on Meloxicam daily for a couple years now and she's a different dog--happy, playful, and most importantly, comfortable! Talk to your vet about long term medication options.

9 isn't old for a small dog! If she does need surgery, get a full blood panel done first. It will show any problems that might be dangerous during surgery.

I hope you find a way to help Sassy and that she gets more good time with her family!

[luvofallhorses]

Oh no I had no idea she was sick! I will pray that she will be okay.
((((BIG Hugs))))) to you Alyssa!

[K9karen]

Sometimes we have to do the unthinkable. But I'm praying that the vet can help Sassy. I feel your heartache. Whatever happens, I know your decision will be unselfish.

payer sent!!!
my friend had a lab that was only 5 and she ruptured a disk in her back and they had to put her to sleep, but they do make wheelchairs for dogs but they are pretty costly!
look them up on google.
some dog breed have history of back problems and hip problem you migh want to look that up too!
get well soon!

[Kalei]

Poor Sassy, I hope everything goes well and that the vet can help her out. Many prayers coming your way!

[Vela]

She honestly isn't too old for surgery, small dogs often live to be 14 or even more years old, often into the high teens. I am so terribly sorry to hear about Sassy. My dog Ginger was much the same, and I also contemplated putting her to sleep too, so I do know how you feel. If you want to talk about what I did to help Ginger then please PM me. I'd be happy to talk to you about it.

If it comes down to the worst then please know I am so so sorry. Nobody here is going to bash you, we all have to make tough decisions with our pets sometimes.

[Alysser]

Thanks all, I haven't been coping well when I'm at home because I see the pain...and I didn't exactly reply right away after my last post because I thought everyone would be mad at me. But my mom just needs to find the vets number and she will call her tonight, and leave a message. So thank you for the prayers, thoughts, etc.

Bri, thanks for the sig, it's really nice thought. I hope you don't mind if I don't use it, the words and the picture of my dog are hard to read in my own siggy.
