I'm so glad that Bassett is back home and breathing better. Prayers and positive energy are still coming your way. I also hope that you're able to work out some kind of a payment plan.

We're crying tears of joy that you and your beloved Bassett are together again. We will continue to send you our prayers and our most positive thoughts your way. I know how important it is to be able to hold your baby, to smell her fur, look into her eyes and tell her how very loved she is. Life is so tentative. My best big boy, Mr. B., was just diagnosed with diabetes this week and I share those fears, uncertainties and feelings of dread you are experiencing. My whole family sends you our love and best wishes for Bassett's speedy recovery. And please give your dear girl a gentle kiss and soft hugs from all us here. Love, Sandra, Mr. B and Oliver.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm so glad she's back home with you. Both of you will feel much better this way. And thoughts and prayers are definitely still on their way. Please give her a big hug from T & P and me.

I am so glad that sweet Bassett is back home with you, where she will get the TLC from mom that she deserves. I will continue to send my love to Bassett. She is a very dear girl and I am really hoping that she'll completely pull out of this.

Take care and give that girl a head bumpie from me & Minion.

I am very glad that Bassett gets to be home with you.
I did feel as Vio & Juni said;

" I followed this thread from the beginning, but I was so sad about it that I couldn't write anything.
I hope the vet will find the right treatment for her and you, with us, will have her for many years."

This must be so stressful for both of you. Having her home again
hopefully will let you both feel better. Now that the vets know
what it is'nt, maybe they are closer to finding a way to make
her better completely. You will stay in my prayers for a complete
recovery for sweet Bassett.

We wish you all the best , sweet Bassett !!

many nose-kissies from your pals , Inka & Maya !!

Naomi,

I'm glad Bassett is home where you can give him all the love he needs. I will pray that the results of the CT scan are okay. Remember, we're all here if you need us. Give Bassett a hug and kiss for me.

Bassett is doing well after the weekend. She is on a heart medication and an antibiotic, but the antibiotic was more preventative because there was a abnormality in her blood reading but the vet thought it might have to do with something else. However, she didn't want to have Bassett have an infection so we are treating it just in case. She is still breathing better but I'm watching it REALLY closely. Also she is being a very good girl and letting me give her her pills and medicine without too much fuss.

Other than that, money is the only other concern. Her bill was $420 and the ultrasound and other tests are another $375 at least, plus I have to take her across the ferry to do the tests (I found a clinic in Burnaby that does what I need done). They are also getting me in as soon as there is an opening so I'm grateful for that. I just have to make sure I keep up with school if I have to miss classes to get her to the clinic.

Thank you all for your contiued support and prayers. It's nice to know I can come here and vent and not have someone say "well it's just a cat." Sadly, that's been the case in most of the people I've talked to. They say, "you are not thinking clearly because you aren't thinking of the quality of life for Bassett, and it's an awful lot of money for just a pet." Well, that makes me really angry. I can't just let Bassett die - I have to try. I'm doing what the vet says I need to do. I flat out asked the vet, "is the tests worth it or is she going to die?" and the vet said "she has to have the ultrasound without a doubt - it has to be done" so I figure that means there is some hope for her recovery. What kind of person would I be if I said "oh well it's not worth trying?" Anyway, some people have been really good about it. My friends came over this weekend and were really supportive, and even helped me with the costs of a few groceries. At least I know that I have them and everyone here at PT to support me. Thank you all so much for everything. It really helps.

We are with you every step of the way, in our thoughts and in our prayers, and imagining the purrs of Bassett when she is happy and with you. Hope the ferry ride goes smoothly, we'll be keeping you in our prayers still.
