Fister is at the hospital

It breaks my heart to read this and I know what you mean by having a proper good-bye.

I've always made the decision to have the vet come to my home but it's expensive and I realize that it's not an option for everyone. His last few days should be spent in your arms, feeling the love flow.

Many prayers on the way Randi. ♥♥♥

Randi - this may be grasping at straws at this stage, but I thought I'd throw it out there for what it's worth.

A few years ago, Myndi had a GI bleed, and her red blood count was so low, that her vet was truly amazed that she was still alive, let alone still being able to walk. Along with the meds for her ulcer, she was put on a very potent vitamin supplement that was high in iron, and I was told to give her as much liver that she could/would eat. After 2 weeks when she went back for a followup visit (which I truly didn't expect her to live long enough to make), all her blood values were normal and right where they should be. She wasn't a young dog when this happened either - she was 14 and considered a senior. This might be worth a mention to the vet, but I'm no doctor, so I don't know if anything like this would work for Fister.

Still hoping for a miracle for your dear boy.

Thank you again - and for your e-mails and PM's.

My neighbor who is almost a nurse, called me and offered to come with me tomorrow. She knows Fister well and have looked after him a few times. I really would like to take Fister home for just a few days to say goodbye - this is too sudden. I realize he is old and sick, but those fluids and food he is getting just might have perked him up a bit. I so hope!

Fister has not come up on my bed for the past two days and I really missed it. I need to cuddle with him.

I hope his own vet will respond to my msg. on FB. Will take a pill and try to sleep soon. I will let know tomorrow what happens, and if I say goodbye, I may not post for a while.

Thank you, Pomtzu! I will certainly mention that to the vets. My neighbor told me a similar story with a human being.

Oh, Randi, I am so sorry, my heart is breaking for you ... I can't quite believe this is happening, not to the special golden boy Fister is, loved by so many, of who few have met, and loved the most of all, so much, by you..

I hope Fister can come home with you even if it may be only for a short time....
