  1. Dee I keep coming back to this thread trying to figure out what to say. What words I can write down to let you know how heavy my heart feels for your loss. Unlike my tears the words just seem to fall short as always though.

  2. The honey your thinking about is called Manuka Honey. I used some with great success on a deep wound that Nadir had at his elbow. The one I used had an Active rating of 15+ which is indicative of it's healing strength. I did read though you do not want to go with anything higher than a rating of 18 because it can be too strong and irritating especially to an open wound. Would a Bite-Not collar help in pr eventing her from getting to the wound and messing with the dressings?

  3. Kerry, Unless Merlin is at risk for dehydration from diarrhea it is best not to give Kao or Imodium. The diarrhea is part of his body's mechanism for purging itself of what is making him sick. Nadir recently went through several weeks of an seriously upset digestive system complete with bloody diarrhea and bloody vomit and the refusal of all foods for days at a time. Initialy the vet was treating him with Sucrulfate because I thought his ulcer had flared up when that didn't help and he started refusing everything I tried to give him I took him back in and ask that he be given Flagyl (Metronidazole) and that seems to have done the trick. Oh and while he was sick I making him a stew of Tilapia, Jack Mackeral and boiled potatoes. I don't know if Merlin is okay with fish, but if he is Tilapia may be easier on his system than ground beef. I'm so sorry your wizard is under the weather. Sending that handsome boy lots of healing thoughts.

  4. Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes. We are going to the vet at 1:00 pm today. I am absolutely heartbroken, but I know I need to do this for him.

     

    Meri, I can't thank you enough for having brought the Dook of URL into my life, he's been the most wonderful, perfect dog, and a huge piece of my heart will be going with him this afternoon.

     

    I'm so sorry that your having to face this. You and Duke will be in my thoughts today.

    May his passing be one of peace and freedom from pain.
