I wish you lots of good and loving time with her, filled with peace and comfort. I am glad Chester is on the mend; hopefully he will bring you some joy at this sad time.

I am so so sorry to hear about their problems. I wish I could wave a magic wand that would them both perfectly healthy immediately and permanently.

that is definitely lousy news. You are both in my prayers. Spend as much time as possible with that baby girl.

Sigh...with Lily its just a 'take one day at a time' situation and don't give up yet. You're doing all that you can for her.

I'm glad to hear that Chester is making progress and now that you and your vet know more precisely what the problem is, I'm sure that he will make quicker progress toward full recovery. Do you give him any probiotics along with his medication...and/or did you ask the vet is he was okay with this?

I was preparing myself for it, but nothing can prepare you for that, really. Talking to you helped me understand it better, I hope her body is strong enough to fight a bit to give us some time and her to experience some extra love. I do not want her to suffer or live in pain. This is so hard. She is doing better today on increased lasix but I do not get my hopes high, just take one day at a time, filling it with love and tenderness.

huge my friend. Seems my suspicions were true. I am so sorry. I tried to give you my opinion gently and realisitcally when we talked as i know how much Lilly means to you. I pray she has much time left and that she goes pain free when her time comes.

if you ever need to talk i am here. Dont hesitate to call or just cry..
We can cry together.

Glad little Chester is on the right meds. Hoping things turn out for him as well.

I am heartbroken but not lost yet, i have to keep positive for her.

I'm very sorry to hear the sad news. I know how hard it is, we'll be thinking of you.

Hang in there Bernata. Lily may surprise you. Raven was on death's door with an infected, necrotic liver, every lobe fully involved and in the ER with septic shock, and he DOES have cancer. And that was 6 weeks ago. In those first few weeks, with the grim looks from the vets, I kept waking every morning prepared to say goodbye to my boy...he had other plans. I finally gave up crying and the emotional roller coaster. Just love Lily like each day is your last, but don't THINK that it is. This is what Raven has taught me.

Prayers to you my friend.

I will be praying for you all. What hard news to get.

I hope Chester will begin responding to the new meds. Poor guy, that has to be painful.

Amy and Sophia

Glad they figured out Chester's problem and have him on the right track. Hoping the new meds work for Lily and she is feeling better. I know she is your heart.


I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

SO SAD to hear about your babies. I will keep you in my prayers. Know that we are all thinking about you.

...and poor MOMMA--I know how hard this is, but I also know she's in the best hands being with you guys. You have given her a wonderful life and she's given back to you so much more...no one can take those memories away from you. Our prayers are with you for comfort & peace.

thats all we can do with any of our dogs. Some leave us far earlier than expected. Be greatful you have gotten what time you have had. Know that her life has been fullfilled with more than a dog could ever dream off.
Your an awesome dog owner and any dog is greatful to be in your home.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lily. I understand how you feel - my special girl owns my heart too. Just know that you have done everything you can for her and will do so until her time comes to say goodbye. You have been the best bully mom EVER and Lily knows that.

As for Chester, Stella had a bad staph infection last fall. She was on antibiotics for 10 weeks. The first set of drugs did absolutely nothing. My poor girl was miserable. Then we changed drugs and things went uphill quite quickly.

A couple of other things I was told to do was to wash Stella's bedding every day. A total pain but the infection can spread and this helps contain it. Also, I had to give her a bath once a week with a tiny bit of dish soap (a couple of drops only) leaving it on to soak and scraping off the scaley parts once they were softened. She hated this but it did help.

Hugs to you and the pooches!

you are correct; you are never prepared, no matter how much you anticipate an event. You have our prayers for you and your babies. They are so precious to us, but The Master only lets us keep them for a while, until He calls them back home. Treasure the times you have had together and the times to come. We wish you God's peace for strength and comfort. We are always here when you need us!!

I'm so sorry to learn about Lily. It's so hard on the dog, heartbreaking to watch them deteriorate. My thoughts are with you and please hug Lily for me.

My prayers are with you and Lily.

I can totally empathize with you. My heart goes out to you. All we really have is our time on this earth with these little beings, it is so crushing when things go wrong. I wish I were there to give you a big hug and have a cup of tea with you.

Hug those two darling babies up and I will be thinking of you with LOVE!

YOur friend,

we are hoping adjusted meds will help, but this is just hoping. We will fight until last minute thiugh.

Does she have CHF? My Mother had a Poodle with CHF and she was on lasix, enalpril and eventually Vetmedin. She lived for many years with CHF.
