  1. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have no answers, just another who understands your pain and feelings of loss. Losing them when you know you will, and when it comes out of nowhere both cause immense pain and heartbreak. Just hold on to knowing that Merlin knew he was loved immeasurably and he would not want you to suffer.

  2. Something similar happened with Tallulah yesterday. In her case the nail is whole and still attached, it looks like she split the skin. I cleaned gently and put a padded (sanitary napkin & vet wrap) wrap over it so it doesn't snag further. That means muzzling her when I am out, she is not thrilled with me.

     

    Can anyone give me an idea how long this type of thing takes to heal?

  3. I no longer live in NYC but Animal Medical Center in mid-town was always amazing.

     

    My homecare vet, was beyond amazing, same price range as NYC vet offices and has affiliations for when you need testing, etc. Andrew Obstler, homecarevet@gmail.com. He saw Aquitaine and I through her PLC and kidney disease. She, too, had very low albumin levels but had them well before diagnosis (that came after her splenectomy and tumor removal). I lost her to osteo so I have to say that Andy and AMC did a tremendous job helping me with her. Both were very open to me using supplements along with traditional medicine as well.

    Edited to say that we didn't have to deal with IBD but still great vets to have on your side.
