I'm sorry

Oh no, I'm so sorry your Jack is gone. RIP Jack

I'm glad Ruger has a good update. I hope he continues to do well

I'm so sorry for your losses.

I'm so sorry this is happening to your boy. I have been through this with Ruby last year, she passed away at home from kidney failure on August 28, the morning after hurricane Irene. I have a notebook that I wrote everything in and I will tell you what happened in her last week. 8-22-11 Ruby threw up her breakfast and water 8-23-11 Ruby threw up a couple of times during the day, four times during the night and was panting a lot. 8-24-11 Ruby went to the vet for subq fluids and got a shot of Cerenia for nausea. Vet gave me Reglan for her to take with meals. Didn't eat any dinner, Peed in the kitchen after 2:30 am. Has been panting and lays down slowly, likes she's uncomfortable. 8-25-11 Didn't eat any breakfast. The vet told me to start syringe feeding her Hills A/D canned. 8-26-11 Still not eating on her own, had to syringe feed her which she hates. She walked very slow, with her head hanging down and always panting. 8-27-11 Still walking slowly, can't lift her head, panting. Vet told me to give her half of a Tramadol. This was the day of hurricane Irene, she kept going outside trying to dig a hole in the sandbox. I kept bringing her in and she kept wanting to be outside. She did not sleep at all that night, she was panting and every once in a while she made a whimper sound, she also had some think drool hanging out of her mouth. She was in and out all night and we were both soaked but she didn't care, she was in a daze. She stopped drinking. 8-28-11 Sunday Ruby went out at 6 am, she fell when she tried to come back into the house and I helped her in. I brought her to a dog bed and laid with her so she would finally go to sleep. She fell asleep about 7:45, she was sleeping soundly and I kept checking on her. John came downstairs and I told him how she was during the night. Then I started to fall asleep on the couch and I heard her making some movement, I asked him to check on her and he said "She's dying" and in the two seconds it took me to get into the next room she was gone. Shortly after we lost Ruby we found out Kassie also has kidney disease. she is now at the point where she's been going for fluids twice a week for a few months. I know when Kassie stops eating I won't force feed her. Ruby hated it but the vet wanted to see if she would come around, she didn't and I wish I had sent her to the bridge. Everything was worse because of hurricane Irene, I wouldn't have tried to get her through the weekend. I hope what I wrote will help in some way. I'm sending you and your boy a big hug.

I'm glad Bullitt is feeling better

I'm so sorry! Sending healing thoughts and prayers for Bullitt

Nola, I hope you feel better soon! Sarah, sounds like it could be a disc issue. Reminds me when Marvin couldn't lift his head, he got a shot (can't remember what, it was so long ago) and was fine.

I'm sorry I missed this. I hope Pogo and Katie heal quickly

Can you post a picture of the toe?
