Update On Lady - LADY IS GONE.....

[chocolatepuppy]

I will be praying for Lady.

[Vela]

I just want to hear some good news about lady!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I am so upset Tracy. I just got on the computer and I'm so sorry to see this. I'm fighting back the tears. All we can do now is to keep praying as hard as we can for this gentle soul. You've done all you can do for her. Bless you. It's in God's hands now. I can only hope that she'll be okay but if she has to go to the bridge, let it be a safe, swift journey. We love you Lady!!! You gave her the only chance she had for a few good days in her life. If she has to leave us, she'll leave her legacy. Her beautiful little pups will remind us of her.

PLEASE GET WELL LADY!!! You're such a fighter and a survivor girl. We just need one more PT miracle for this sweetheart

Phred: We need you please
Gary: Can you get the Found Cat Angels to look after Lady?

The vet called, but I was putting my boys' to bed and missed the call. He left a message. He said Lady is doing well. Her blood count is a little lower then earlier (it was 24 this morning, but he did not give me a number of what it is now), but he thinks that is due to the IV fluids she has been getting. He said he will call me before 9:30 am tomorrow and talk to me about her. He also said the Parvo test came back negative. So that is a bit of good news.

I want to take a minute to say thank you everybody. This is very hard. But whatever the outcome is, I want everybody to know how appreciative I am of all of you. You have really helped me through this. If it is Lady's time to leave this world, I will miss her deeply, but I will know she left with a heart filled with love and was loved emensely (sorry for my spelling) in return. Her pups will grow on and thrive because her selflessness. They will grow strong and she will watch over them from the Rainbow Bridge, and she will be with my childhood dogs and they will show her around and give her love and plenty of BONES!! I pray that god will make his decision on her soon and not let her suffer anymore. I would love to see her here with me again and better, but I can not be selfish...she never was. Whatever the next days bring...I am prepared. Deep inside my heart I feel as if it is over. That may be grim to some of you, but there is a reason. You see, Lady never kisses on the face...only the hand. When I said my good bye to her she gave me a small kiss on the chin. Whether it was her just licking her lips or if she meant to kiss me, I will never know. But for some reason I feel like she was saying good bye to me as well. I walked out of the vet's office feeling like that was the last time I would see her.

I am sorry if I am depressing you guys, I just needed to tell that to somebody. I know you will understand and support me. Dave is great, but he doesn't understand, if he does he is not good at showing it. Thanks for listening. I hope my feeling are wrong. I will post an update after I hear from the vet tomorrow. Thank you again PT.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thank you for posting so late, Tracy. I can understand how you felt when she kissed you I can't stop crying.

You're so right, Lady was never selfish and we can't be either. I still have to keep the faith that it will be God's will to let her stay with us on this earth for awhile. My heart breaks for you. You're such a good person and you go through so much. Thanks you for everything and {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Just know in your heart that she was able to feel love for the first time when she met you. You're an angel walking among us.

I can't get over how pretty she is in the picture of her on the prayer that Michelle made for her. She looks so bright eyed and healthy.

[Reachoutrescue]

First I would like to thank everybody for your wonderful support through all of this. Your posts have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for loving Lady so very much. Brody's Mum, thank you for your generous donation....yet again. You are an angel.

I spoke to the vet. It is not good. He said her illness is Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and something else that sounded like Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia, but he (again) said it so fast it was hard to understand. This is what I found out about the illness:

IMT

He said she did eat well this morning and she is stable. Her blood count yesterday was at 20 and this morning it was at 18. He is very concerned about that. I told him I do not want her suffering he said she is not, she is just very tired and weak. He upped her dose of Prednisone this morning, he is hoping that helps. Dr. Whalen is going to do another blood test at 3pm. He said if at 3 her count is decreased and not gone up, it is time to make a decision. I asked him if I could be there with her and he said yes. He is going to do another blood test at 3pm. He told me to call him around 3:30, then he changed his mind and said for me just to come in. I am not having a good feeling about that.

I am sorry I do not know more. I will update after I get back from the vet office. Please pray for Lady....I have a feeling this is it...I am prepared. If this is what will be done then I will be there with her until the end and help her see her way "home" as hard as it will be. This will be my first time doing this, please pray for me to be strong too. This hurts so much. I know I only knew her a short time, but I feel like my heart is breaking it two. I am going to try to get her ashes, depending on the price, I hear it could be costly ... but at this point ... I just don't care about money.

Prayers .... Just prayers now.

Thank you all so much.

[Catty1]

Your Lady loves you...and I am sure no matter what, she will manage a tiny wiggle butt for you.

HUGS to you...If Lady goes to the Bridge, take time to be gentle with yourself. You may be in shock and 'out of it' for a couple of days or more.

Praying for a turnaround, you never know!

I am glad she is feeling no pain.

Tracy,

I will pray with all my heart she makes a turn around. If she does have to go to the bridge, I know she is very thankful for you taking her into your care and you will see her again someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Lady. ((((HUGS)))) Please give the beautiful girl a hug and a kiss for me when you go back to the vet office.

[Reachoutrescue]

I walked into the vets office and Dr. Whalen told me to come in back. Lady's blood count had dropped since this morning. He took me to see her. She got up and came to me...butt wiggling. She gave me kisses on my face and arms as I hugged her and told her I was sorry and that I loved her. I told her everybody loves her even though they did not know her. I told her she did good and she was a good girl, that her puppies were safe now and she can go knowing that. The doctor had me sign the consent form. He offered me her ashes, I said yes. He also offered me a little plaque that has her paw print on it, I told him yes. He led me to a room and put a blanket on the table for her. The vet tech brought her in and put her on the table. I gave her kiss after kiss and pet her and told her again I am so sorry and how much I love her. Dr. Whalen asked me if I was ready and I said yes. He injected it into her IV. She looked at me with loving eyes and layed down and fell asleep. I stayed with her for a about 15 minutes telling her she was "home" now and that she was all better. I kissed her good bye and walked out of the office in tears. I am still shaking. I just wish this would not have happened to such a sweet girl. Now she is at peace. I will miss her so much, I already do. I am so saddened, but so angry at her previous "owners". If only they would have cared for her. If only he would have loved her ... even just a little. It's over now and I loved her and I know she loved me. I just wish things could've been different for her. The vet said he will send me the bill ... at point I just don't care about the bill. I just wanted everybody to know. Rest peacefully my sweet Lady Baby.

[Jadapit]

I'm sitting here crying my eyes out! I'm so, so sorry! You did everything you could for sweet Lady. Most of all you showed her love and kindness, I doubt she ever got that from her so called owner. I cant type any more I honestly cant see through my tears.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. Lady is at peace now, and she had a wonderful life while you were with her.

((((HUGS))))

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

I am so sorry to hear about Lady. I, along with everyone on here, was pulling for her to get better. She sounds like she was an awesome girl that loved you very much for all that you did for her and her babies. She is now at peace having experienced the love that you gave her and now knows that all people aren't bad. She can rest assured knowing that you found her babies the perfect homes where they will not have to experience the mistreatment that she went through herself. Rest is peace sweet Lady, all of us fell in love with you in the short time you were on PT. Play hard at the Rainbow Bridge health, happy and forever loved.

[kittycats_delight]

Oh Tracy, My heart is broken and I didn't even know her so I can't imagine how you feel. She was so very special. If prayers and love could have brought that sweet girl through then she would be home with you right now. Atlast her job her on earth was done. She gave all of herself to her puppies to ensure they would thrive. She was a good momma and a wonderful dog. Bless you for showing her not all people are rotten and that she was a good girl and deserved to be loved.

There is gonna be one hell of a welcoming committee for that special girl. What a day this has been so far on PT. Too many wonderful PT babies have passed in these last few days. I think God must be forming a great committee for some wonderful thing.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and hugs. Give each of those babies of Lady's a hug and kiss for me and tell them their momma was one in a million she sacrificed everything for them to live. They really are little miracles when you think about it.

God Bless you Lady and Godspeed to Rainbow Bridge. We love you sweet girl and you will be missed more than you can imagine. You have touched many many hearts. You are a golden angel now on RB with Golden Wings. We love you.

((((((HUGS))))))) to you and all your family Tracy. You are a very special lady yourself.

Michelle

I am so sorry.

RIP Lady.
