Just do what you can to keep her comfy...feed her what she wants..and when you look into her eyes and see that she no longer has that sparkle..it will be time to let her go. It happened here almost 5 years ago...and I still remember it like it was yesterday. If you need to talk... my e-mail is eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%64%65%6c%69%6c%61%68%40%73%6e%65%74%2e%6e%65%74%22%3e%64%65%6c%69%6c%61%68%40%73%6e%65%74%2e%6e%65%74%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b'))

Bec,

I dont have any experience with lymphoma in dogs. I am sorry that all of you are going through this.

Hugs to Fergie, poor little girl

I'm curious...you mentioned buying the dog from a reputable breeder and you also described her as a "rescue dog"...which is it? Or am I being dense...but I associate the term "rescue dog" with an organized/BCA affiliated rescue group rather than an individual breeder...and all the groups I know of and/or work with will euthanize the dog for you because of her dire health and not wanting her to suffer either...and most will offer you another bulldog just as soon as you want one...at least that's how we operate...when someone is kind enough to take an older/sick dog thru her/his final days in peace and love, we show our appreciation by replacing that dog as soon as reasonably possible.

I don't want to add to your grief by questioning you but if you have the inclination to respond, either to me directly or on this board, I'd like your thoughts. Meanwhile, do what is reasonable...that's all any of us can ask for. "The impossible" is out of our hands. Hugs to you for caring so. -E.

We are sending lots of prayers and hug and kisses to the whole family. Loria, Petunia, Watson, Lilly, Annabell, and Rocco

I don't have any advice for you except to make her last weeks happy ones,but I know you will do that anyway.We are sending all our prayers to Fergie tonight.Luv to ya'll.And GOD bless your household.

Sue and Mack the Maniac
