Glad to get your update. I keep thinking of Carrier - he's always in my thoughts. He is just such an inspiration. It IS a good sign that he's eating and interested in food. I think you're doing an AMAZING job Eva, really amazing. Love the pics with the horses. Hoping things improve with his heart... sending hugs and hope. :bighug

Embersdad - that's terrible! What con artists. I'm sorry. They cover DENTAL work too?! :omg

She was beautiful. Thank you for sharing those lovely pictures of Flecka with us. :grouphug Run free sweetheart!

Farewell, Malone... run free, sweet boy I'm so sorry for your loss. :f_white :f_white

He's beautiful! :wub: Welcome to GT!

I'm so sorry. :cry1 No advice to give... just sending hugs :grouphug

Oh no, I'm so sorry! Aaargh. I remember Munchie's last UTI - it was just before Merlin got his... I'm sorry it's back. Hope it goes away and stays away!

Another thread is currently discussing the same thing... this may help: http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php?showtopic=191230&hl=

I'm so sorry. :f_white :grouphug :grouphug

Oh Gail, I only just read this whole thread. I am so dreadfully sorry. I would have done exactly the same as you in your situation. Until I was 100% sure, I'd always do whatever I could to extend life. Go with your gut. Flecka will tell you when she's ready, and you love her so very much, you will know when it's the right time. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending many hugs. Hang in there. :grouphug :grouphug

:weep That was unbelievably touching. Love defined.

Welcome from Maine! I lived in Scotland (on the East Coast, though) when I was in Uni - I went to St Andrews. Loved it! I visited the West coast a couple of times, and loved it even better than the east coast. Welcome to GT.... Todd and Breagha are beautiful! :wub:

Welcome from Maine! Chap is so handsome! :inlove Thanks for sharing the piccies!

Greyt news! Keeping you both in my thoughts.

I'm sorry, Bev... Sally is so lucky to be loved so much by her mum and dad, who listen to her and know when to let her go.... run free sweet girl... Sending hugs and heart-healing thoughts. :grouphug :grouphug

:f_white I'm so, so sorry. Run free, sweet Kevin.

Poor Jake. Here's something to help you heal: :dogcookie Feel better soon sweetie.

Welcome to GT and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Not sure what works best - I certainly haven't found it yet... Merlin has disgusting breath. He had a dental just over a year ago, before we adopted him. I'm probably going to make an appointment for another one in a couple of weeks' time. The vet told me she's going show me how to scrape his teeth. Not looking forward to the bill for the dental which is going to be over $300. Ugh. I buy some of those dental chews sometimes, but I don't know. Both DH and I have been really lazy and bad about brushing his teeth, and we hardly brushed more than once a week. This week we've forced ourselves to work on preventive dental care, and we're now brushing every day. Hopefully I'll get into the habit of it eventually and won't have to remind myself to do it all the time.

Oh no, how awful!! I'm so sorry this happened. Keeping you and Dude in my thoughts. Sending :grouphug and keeping my fingers tightly crossed for your baby. :goodluck

Oh, that's good news. Poor baby. Keeping my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery :goodluck ... and hugs to you! :grouphug

Go Julio!!!! You're such a beautiful boy! :yay :yay Wishing you many many more happy years!

Poor Sophie. I hope you get to the bottom of this... please let us know what the other vet you're consulting says... sending many to you and many scritches and to Sophie.

I hear you. Merlin's been itching a lot lately. He has dry skin to start with, and the dry air is making things worse. He licks his leg and bites it with his teeth a lot more than usual. Have you tried aloe vera?

That nooooooooose! BEAUTIFUL! I so want to kiss it! Welcome to GT!
