I feel tired and emotional.....
No I am not pissed,
I am just tired and emotional
A Night shift, no sleep and vet visits are not compatible
So, its been
Another bout of tests
Another bout of results
Another bout of coxing a poorly old girl to eat
and a sad feeling that the future is just about all mapped out
I'm so sorry, John, it's so hard to lose such a lovely, lovely soul. Even if it's only for a while.

Oh John …. group hug and an early night !! XXXX
ReplyDeleteGet some sleep, John. (If you can) Bad news is always stressful. Not what you wanted to see the first thing, I know.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry John. x
ReplyDelete:( Please accept this comment as a supportive hug. xx
ReplyDeleteThey own a piece of your heart always, so sorry.
ReplyDeleteHard - but what is in her best interests supercedes our human requirements. I wish you strength.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry to read this. You knew this day was coming but it doesn't matter. When the reality comes it is so hard.
ReplyDeleteMany of us and you have been in this place so we understand.
Try to rest and get some sleep.
cheers, parsnip
Lack of sleep makes things so much worse. Take care x
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs and prayers.
I have been listening to a radio serial each night about a dog, narrated by its owner, and sadly tonight's episode had echoes of your blog post.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you've had some sleep. I am so sorry. Can you look Meg in the eye and tell her nine is not nearly enough. Keep doing the best you can; it's all she asks.
ReplyDeleteJust did that yesterday. Now have my primary vet, the opthamology vet and another at the vet school fighting over Sister's treatments. With her diabetes and the catarac surgery, she now has corneal ulcers (freaking holes in her eyes) and she is my child; I love her just as much. Hang in there as it might well turn around. Much love.

So sorry xxx
ReplyDeleteHere is something to cheer you up when you're feeling a little better. 610stompers.com. The Macy's parade with their headbands just cracks me up. Perhaps they might be invited to participate in a Welsh garden and flower show.
ReplyDeleteBig Hug to you.
ReplyDeleteoh bless you....having been in that place not so long ago, my heart goes out to you. still, while there's life, there's hope....and, i'm squinting but i think i could see it -- her bloodwork looks okay [ i was an RVT in my past life....and we had that same blood machine ;) ] of course, that doesn't tell the whole story....
ReplyDeletestrength to you all...xo
Her amalyse is out so it looks liver related......shes got another bout of antibiotics to contend with then we shall see
DeleteOh dear, sending healing vibes. xxx
ReplyDeleteFeel for you John.please remember Meg has a good home with you.she has been loved and cared for and respected.when the inevitable happens,take comfort in this.thinking of you and Meg.xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry.thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteThe low Albumin and BUN means liver, as you well know. Not that it will help a lot, but you might give her something for fluid retention, might help with any physical distress.
ReplyDeleteThere is no water retention or oedema
DeleteShe has not been eating for a week so i wonder if thats the bun reading.....there is a mass on or near her liver
When our first dog was elderly, the vet said for us not to worry until Angel stopped eating. She never missed a meal, and then one day, she did, and we knew. Even though we could see signs of her ageing, none of us wanted to admit what in our hearts we knew.
DeleteI hope you've been able to get some rest. xxx
Damn. I am so sorry John. Try to get a bit of rest. X
ReplyDeleteHugs to both you and Meg xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are going through this. Everytime it happens to me I swear the pain is not worth the gift of fur balls. Then I reconsider.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a shame.
ReplyDeleteHang on in there John. Give her lots of love and care and stay close. If the end of the road is near let it be as gentle as possible and let her know how much you care for her. Dogs lives are shorter than ours and we know that when we take them on - but it makes absolutely no difference to the heartbreak and the worry.
ReplyDeleteOh John, my heart is breaking for you and sweet Meg. XO
ReplyDeleteOh John, long-distance but warm hugs to you and dear old Meg. xx
ReplyDeleteJohn, so very sorry to hear about little Meg, but we hope something can be done for her. All of us with pets have been through the distress you are suffering now, and can feel for you, but it doesn't make it any easier.
ReplyDeleteWe lost our lovely little spaniel three weeks ago - we found him in the morning, by the bed. Don't know which is worse - forewarning, or the sudden shock of a much loved family pet taken from you when you least expect it. Weaver says it all.
Hugs for you and Meg.
More hugs to add to the caring flooding your way.
ReplyDelete"a sad feeling that the future is just about all mapped out"
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it pretty much is for all of us. Surviving life involves trying to live while forgetting that you won't survive it.
Oh John, I feel for you. Take care x
ReplyDeleteOh John, I feel for you. Take care x
ReplyDeleteGet some sleep, John. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Deb
ReplyDeleteYou have given her the best of lives John, my heart goes out to you.
ReplyDeletePoor Meg hugs from me for both of you xxx
ReplyDeletesaying a prayer for her.............
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard when an innocent loved one is ill, human or beast. You and Meg are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear this :-(
ReplyDeleteOh John, you and Chris must be in bits. How very very sad. Beaming you much love xxx
ReplyDeleteSorry John. I hope that you can get some sleep and it will not feel so terrible. Hugs!
ReplyDelete:(
ReplyDeleteMeg has the best owner a dog could wish for. You are being, (and will be) the kindest carer for her.
ReplyDeleteLove to the rest of the gang too.
xx
Hugs to you xxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh John....I wish it could be different but it always seems to end up this way doesn't it? Fortify yourself my dear.....I will hold you and Meg in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry dear friend....it is never easy to see our babies suffer. Stay close give her lots of love.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Meg's decline. Its very hard watching a member of your family suffer through an illness. I wish things were different. You and Meg are in my prayers
