Prayers and Pawsitive thoughts headed your way.

well it has been a tough day, she has been up and down really, i rang to see if i could get an earlier appt, no such luck, but am top priority if anyone cancels, the receptionist/nurse in the afternoons,we know quite well and she is the most lovely person ever, so sympathetic and understanding.she talked to me and suggested if i was worried about dehydration to bring her in tonight or first thing and my vet will check her out and do what is necessary,as i was thinking she was not doing so good.

However she picked up a little, and i did the scruff of the neck thing Donna, it was not too bad, maybe not as quick returning as when i practised it on Nikki, but it was not that bad, and she did do a pee this afternoon,none of the other, which is probably a good thing, she ate a wee bit more, but is not fussed on much really, and i know my girl is not good, prayers for tomorrow afternoon, another sleepless night ahead.

Thanks everyone your support always means so much to me,i know you have all been there at one time or another, so understand where i am coming from,it is so re-assuring to have friends who really understand.

Fingers and all paws crossed my wee girl will come home again with me and perk up after my vet has seen her, i just did not want a stranger looking at her, who really has only some computed write ups to go on,it has to be my vet, i hope i have made the right choice., i only want the best for my Ellie and he is the best.

I feel this is probably more to do with her liver problem, than the vaccine, but could be a combination of both, i hope they can do something to help her.

I have just returned from my vet, it is with a heavy heart i tell you that things are not good, it does not appear to be the vaccine, more the tumour, i had noticed she was breathing more heavy , and it probably has spread to her lungs, he asked if i wanted to let her go today or give her a wee bit longer, i chose the latter, because Ellie is doing a little better, had he asked me yesterday i would have said yes, my main concern is pain, i asked whether i could up her dose of steroids, he said yes a good idea.

If she stops eating , then it will be her time, i have already been bawling my eyes out just at the thought of it all, i knew it would come sooner than later, but i am still not ready to loose this precious one, she means so much to me, not giving up on her, she is a fighter and who knows , she may just prove all the vets wrong yet, i know wishful thinking on my part, but it is all i have to hold on to just now.
