So sorry to hear of your sad loss...... Fido.

Thank you for giving that poor little pony love and care after what she had been through! :rolleyes: Sending you lots of hugs at this sad time....Fido.

Special thoughts to you in your sad loss.....

What a sweet little girl!!! RIP Buffy

Precious memories of a dear friend......

Sending you lots of hugs at this sad time....

Thinking of you, Sidoney. My heart is heavy too, with the loss of my loved Jessie last week. We both know we made the right decision under the circumstances.

Thinking of you in your sad loss......

I just want to thank you all for your caring responses. One of the great features of DOL is that we can all support each other during the tough times, and I have indeed appreciated that support. (Special thanks to Arolf, who came over and spent time with me on Tuesday.) I'm just taking it a day at a time, and am glad of the other 2 who are here wagging their tails and offering lots of licks and cuddles. Once again, thanks!! Fido

Sadly the outcome this morning was not good. It was found that Jessie had cancer which was spreading into her liver. With a heavy heart I consented to her being released from her suffering. The tears are flowing for my sweet girl... :D ;)

So sorry to hear of your loss, Blades. It's always a tough experience.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I'm spending as much time as I can with her this weekend.....she is very sooky. She is only eating a small amount of food, and tries to lick her tummy every so often....it must be very uncomfortable for her. Will let you know what happens.......Fido.

Special thoughts to you at this sad time.... ;)

Jessie had blood tests and an X-ray yesterday. The blood tests did not show anything much, but the X-ray revealed a shadow on her spleen...most probably a tumour. The best scenario is that it is contained and can be removed....may be benign. Ther worst case scenario is that she has other tumours on vital organs, and the vet's recommendation is that she should be put to sleep ;) She is booked in for surgery next Tuesday.....I can only hope....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Jessie is with the vet this morning.She will be having blood tests and possibly an X-ray to try and find out what is wrong. It is definitely not bloat, thankfully. My poor girl has been through so much....beaten cruelly and starved by a previous owner, nearly died from an infection akin to parvo weeks after I got her, and I almost lost her to a tick which had lodged in her neck under her collar. She has also had 2 lumps removed from her elbow....highly suspicious....so I'm quite concerned. I'm just hoping it's nothing serious. Will keep you posted. Fido.

What a very special boy!!! Thinking of you.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Jessie, my GSD/Kelpie cross, is off colour. For the past week she has been off her food, although I have been able to get her to eat some rice, cooked chicken and vegies. Last week I took her to the vet because she had vomited up some froth, and I was worried that it might be a tick.(I'd checked, but one can miss things when the dog has a thick coat.) The vet checked her over, and everything seemed normal.....nothing obvious. She is making some grumbly noises every so often. Other than that, I can't pin anything down. She is about 8/9 years old, by the way. Does anyone have any ideas???? If things don't improve, I will have to take her back to the vet, but she may just have a tummy upset. I would be grateful for any advice. Thanks, Fido.

That is such sad news, Rozzie.. Thinking of you and of Luther....

Thinking of you......

There certainly are hard days. :cool: ...I think we all have them!!! :rolleyes:

Just a little note to say I am thinking of you and your loved fur kid. One of my dogs has had 2 cancerous lumps removed from one of her legs.....you just never know what the future holds. :D Hang in there. :D ....Fido

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Special sympathy to your dear friend in his great loss....

Thinking of you Lynne.....memories can be very painful at times.

That is so very sad ....thinking of you.....
