Guest Piximatosis Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 We're all thinking of you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Jodie - the courage you show and dedication you give to Ollie ......... let it warm your soul and strengthen your heart in return. Know that you have done (and still do) above and beyond in everything that you could and can do for the lad. No-one, or no dog, could expect more from you than what you have given and give now. For that, be proud and at peace with yourself. What will be, will be. I wish for you and Ollie another bounce back, but one way or the other, it will be right and as it should be. Give Ollie a loving pet/stroke from me and hugs to you from me (and Kal). ETA: "Come on Ollie, come on .......

Bindo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 The vet called this morning and it is pretty good news as there is nothing in the blood test to suggest anything other I feel a lot better today in myself after a pretty good nights sleep (on a mattress on the floor next to the lounge that he was on, so I could keep an eye on him)... I am so glad I have an understanding hubby, I know that some men just would not understand their wife sleeping with the family dog... Sometimes though, the reality that he is in fact dying is more than I want to deal with... I am still so afraid of saying goodbye to my lad Thanks again Jodie and Ollie dog Jodie, do hope that you and Ollie are having a better day today. I can completely emphathise with your thoughts on your hubby. When Lucy was sick recently, I slept out on the lounge with her in her bed beside me (wooden floors there in case of accidents). He understands completely. And when Darcy (previous dog) was in the vet's and we knew he wouldn't come home alive, despite having a hugely important work dinner on, hubby arrived at the vet's, supported all of us and took us home and paid a whopping bill without a question. Sometimes we may complain about the lack of romance, but in my mind, this type of support makes up for it anyday! Thoughts and best wishes for you and Ollie dog.

7464 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 for you all. Feel better soon, Ollie dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 His appetite is obviously returning... Youngest son was having a warm milo and a couple of monte carlo biscuits and offered the boofer the last one and he took it... I have some carrot. pumpkin, zucchini cooked up in chook stock for him for dinner - I will try and feed him before Mooper comes to pick me up to go to the Chefs Toolbox party over a kaywomans house... Hubby is on pooch sitting duties while I am out... Ollie is still sleepy and clingy - he goes where ever I do... Thanks all Jodie and Ollie dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampa Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) Jodie, I hope yesterday's bad patch was just another pothole along the bumpy road you are travelling. I must admit that when I saw your change of title "gone down hill overnight..." I did panic I hope you manage to have a decent night out and get your mind off the boy at least for a couple of hours. Big courage hugs to you for what tomorrow holds, in hoping you won't need them. Edited July 15, 2006 by pampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 I woke up this morning on a mattress on the lounge room floor with a stafford peering into my face from about 10cm away. The moment I opened my eyes was obviously a sign that I needed a big sloppy kiss (NOT!) I put down a half a cup of mixed veges and a little bit of chicken for him last night and this morning it is all gone... He is not really interested in anything this morning but I will try him again later... Maybe he knows if he holds out long enough the kids will give him all the good stuff... He is a lot happier this morning, not so mopey. Must have been the visit and cuddle from Mooper last night... Cheers J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooper Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Glad his appetite still seems to be there. It was great to be greeted with his familiar bum-wag at the door last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jls Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 To Ollie, continuing to get better an better each day. Who says, dogs are silly, they know how to get the goods. They just have to hold out a bit, and get yummy chicken. Smart i say~!~ I read in the paper over the week-end of a dog with the same diagnosis, who went into full remission, praying for that for you an Olie. jls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ollie went to hospital this morning. He has a high temp and he cannot hold anything down again (not even water)... Vet thinks it is a combination of an infection and the follow on effects of the chemo he has a week ago. Poor angel has not been well for a couple of days now... Vet is going to give antibiotics and fluid to rehydrate him, then some Vit C intravenously (sp??) to make him feel better... I have to call them later this afternoon but probably will not be able to bring him home until tomorrow ;) I miss him so much already and he has only been there for about an hour. Fingers crossed he is bounces back quickly and can come home soon... Jodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
