Dear Cassie is not well

[aly]

BLESS that wonderful vet. Bless his heart!!!!!!!

I have tears of joy now for sweet Cassie. I have such hope that she will make a recovery and be a happy little Puggy again soon.

I saw some postcards with Pugs on them at Petsmart today. I wanted to buy the whole set and send them all to you Leslie, but I thought 150 postcards might be a bit much

Hehehe You are such a sweety LOL, thanks for the giggle.

She's doing maybe a teeny bit better, but she has stopped eating her food completely. I hope today is better. Yesterday my mom brought Cassie and Ritz over to carve pumpkins with me. Cassie had refused her food all day but I tried giving her some of Graham and Kersey's Innova kibble and she ate about 1/4 cup! That was pretty good. I sent my mom home with a few cups of Innova for the little pigalett pugalett, so hopefully she will eat it.

Cassie used to be the piggiest dog I have ever seen. She would inhale her food so quick that her rear feet would actually come right off the ground as her face was in the food bowl scarfing at record speed. She was pigging food so bad once that she actually fell over sideways from gorging so fast and furiously. I am not sure how she pulled that one off, but you can imagine everyone's surprise when she fell over sideways from going at her food so quick! Her not eating is very unlike her. Hopefully she'll like the Innova better then her California Natural. We have to be so careful what we feed her because of her severe allergies, but if it gets to the point that we are just trying to get weight on her, then we'll see if the vet can give us any foods to try.

I'll give Cassie a hug and kiss from all her friends here

Leslie the news continues to be good. I'm so happy she ate 1/4 cup of food. I know that's not nearly enough for our darling little puglet but it's a start. Hopefully it will stay down and she will develop her old appetite again. I loved this line from your post and must admit it felt so good to smile once again.

She sounds like quite a little comical cutie! LOL! Keep eating and get strong Cassie - we love you!

I know how happy you are that Cassie at a little food!!!!!!!! Is there some kind of fish (like salmon or white fish) and potatoes that Cassie is not allergic to? Killian ate Fish/Potato prescription dog food by Eukanuba when we first got him (with salmon added). It helped him.
I'm glad Cassie is at least a little better. Prayers are continuing!!!

Cassie is on my mind again. How is she doing Leslie? Hope she is chowing down the way any respectable puggily should! (((HUGS)))

[Sudilar]

Yes, how is she doing??

[tatsxxx11]

Been worrying about the precious pugster too!! Hope dear little Cassie is still doing well!!

[AdoreMyDogs]

You are all so wonderful. I do really appreciate all the special words, prayers, and well wishes that are headed Cassie's way. She is doing OK. Not great, but not as bad as she was. She is still on antibiotic and she still caughs an aweful lot, but she is eating, which is good. She has to eat wattered down, pureed canned food (which, by the way, looks REALLY gross!) and she seems to be doing OK with that. She vomits often, but at least she is keeping some of her mush down. She has lost a bit more weight, but she's eating less then ever, especially since that canned food has to be wattered down and purreed.

The vet told my mom and I that we have to decide when we think that Cassie does not enjoy life any longer. We do think that she is still pretty happy and we don't feel that she is ready yet, but the vet did tell us that there will be a time when Cassie will have no quality of life left, and that is what we have to watch out for. I am just glad that we still have her, and that she still shows some happiness. She could go downhill overnight, or she could hang in there for months. It's a blessing that she is still in our lives, and she still gets excited when someone comes home

For now, Princess Cassendra pigalett pugalett is not ready to pass. I am confindent that she will let us know when it's time. Thank you SOOOO much, everyone. I'll give her a big kiss and a smashie face for all of you

[Sudilar]

Leslie, that is good news. Hope she feels good for a long time! Yes, you will know when she no longer enjoys life, but til then, enjoy her!!

This might be your clue; when she stops getting excited. For my cat Jerry, it was when he stopped greeting us with a good morning meow.

Good luck!

I am so gald that Cassie is still continueing to get better. hang in the sweety you'll get better real soon!

[ChrisH]

It is oh so very good to hear that Cassie is eating and doing ok. And so heartening that she gets excited when she sees you, I can just imagine how lovely that is. Prayers, postive thoughts and anything else it takes that she keeps on feeling good and is with you for a long long time yet. Hugs for the little sweetie from me and slurpy kisses and tailwags from Bob.

Oh Leslie this is such good news. I have her on my mind so much and have been wondering if there has been an improvement. I agree with your thoughts on this and it sounds like she is still enjoying life. Please do give that precious pugster a big fat kiss for me on her little smashy face! Lots of love to you Cassie puglet!

That is great news, Leslie!! Cassie has been in my thoughts and I have been wondering how she's been doing.

Leslie, I'm glad at that she at least feels good and gets happy
I hope things continue like that for a long time!
