The Dog thread

I know she is where it's best.

I do like the vet, he seems thorough, caring, patient, and he likes his job.

Odd, I can tolerate a lot of violence on TV when it involves people. But when it comes to animals or pets, I can't. Freakish.

Glad she is doing better Cherry and I hope she gets over it completely very quickly.

A bad result for the dog yesterday. Her urine sample came back negative. No way!

The vet is going to extract a sample on Monday for re-test. But this delays her healing.

They can't start the 'correct' antibiotics until they get the lab confirmation of which bacterial infection she has.

I spend plenty of time mopping up blood spots behind her, and washing, and changing her bed cover.

Poor dog.

Years ago, a friend and I went to a movie theater to see Braveheart. The volume was so loud. To this day, the memory of the all-too-realistic sound effects of the maces horrify me.

Cherry, hoping they can find out the problem and can start the right antibiotics. I'm hoping all works out well.

That is just how they are. 

Pris?  Are you there?  

It looks like our dog is on borrowed time now.

The infections have been caused by a mass near her vagina. He doesn't know if it is malignant or not, but it is probably growing, and sooner or later will block her urethra.

Surgery is inadvisable, and she is too 'action dog' for us to consider chemo or radium.

There is no indication of speed, but she has already outlived her allotted span, and still looks and acts 'full of it'. We are hoping for months.

Dreadful news for you. But for her nothing has changed, she lives in the now, enjoying today. She doesnt fear tomorrow the what ifs or the maybe. Try to live life like her enjoy the moment and try not to live in that future fear.
Celebrate and cherish her make memories with her now.
