I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.

Have you seen an Board ceritfied internist for this. They do specialize in gastro issues. Sending many prayers for your girl.

Amber- I know and can sympathize with you and poor Soul. With Beau, we just have to have him on the z/d for the IBD. Sending many prayers for Soul that this set back is very short lived. Have you spoken to a board certified nurtionalist? If you would like one, I have someone at UPenn.

Continued prayers for your baby girl.

Hi. Glad you came on GT, I was the one that suggested it from GAA. I hope you find playdates!

What a beautiful boy. I hope you can find some comfort in the fact that he passed peacefully with no fear in the warmth and surrounded by his people on HIS terms. I am so sorry for your loss, this must have been shocking.

Even though we were there, holding her, laying on her, litterally my head on her side, my arms around her, I have a hard time coming to terms with the whole thing. FEELING her heart stop was something that I don't think I will ever get over. It haunts me so. I am sitting at work (no docs here today, thank GOD!) sobbing. I miss her.

I am very sorry.

With all his other issues, now Beau is limping on a leg (right front) that he has had no issues with in the past. He had the trauma (???) to the right left front in March, he has the swelling of the joints that sometimes causes him to become lame in the back left which is also the leg that had major ortho surgery 2 years ago, but this is a leg that was "clean". We did have a whole set of x-rays done when he was under anethesia for the 1001th time in March. From his chest to his toes... just in case. It was clean, but I have learned that that doesn't necessarily mean anything 3 months later. There is a very limited amount we can do because of the pred (which is lowered to 10 mg from 50) and the imuran which is now every other day. Just praying that he stepped wrong, because this dog has already been through in 5 short years way too much for any soul at any age. Beau's mommy, Polli died from cancer and so did one of his littermate brothers at the age of 2 acccording to the track. Once again, please keep Beau Beau in your thoughts and prayers.

I could not have gone through what i did with Polli and then Beau without the people on GT. the support was 2nd to none.

Meet Teddy

It's also that time of year.

Happy Bithday, pretty girl. You are missed.

I am so sorry over the loss of your very beautiful boy.

Sending BIG TIME prayers.

Sending prayers for your Lola. I know how scary that is. I didn't even want to post that my Chloe & Beau's gaits have been off for a few days. Prayers for us all.

Yes agreed to all and many prayers.

God Speed Coal.

This is so sad. I am so sorry.

Oh God. I am so sorry to hear this. He was such an inspiration.

I am very sorry.

I voted sometimes becasuse we have a den and a formal living room. Den yes, living room no. The dogs have never stepped foot in the living room cause neither do we.

DH brought home pet safe all natural mint based spray and it works!

I am so sorry Jonathan, Run free sweet girl.

I think it has something to do with the muscles. Beau started doing this and has continued to when we started him on pred in Januray. His hind legs always quiver and when he lifts his leg to pee, it really quivers. The pred contributes to muscle wasting.
