Batmom Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 {{{{{{{{{{Diane}}}}}}}}}} I'm sure she's forgiven you long since. Maybe she hasn't let you know because she wants you to keep asking questions and helping other people learn? I hope it is a long time before you get to meet her ... and I hope your very special girl keeps good watch over you every minute till then.

Guest Georgiegirl Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Bless you - you are a loving owner and Eliza was a lucky girl. We cannot always know when our pets are ill. I'm so sorry your baby girl died - I know how hard it is. love Hannah xxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snowy8 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Diane thank you for sharing something so intimate with us. I'm sure before she crossed that bridge she had forgiven you...they just do that. My heart aches for you...I know how you feel...I really do. She's never left you...she's right there...in your heart...take comfort in knowing you did everything you could for her and she appreciated it.

Burpdog Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 In a few days it will be 8 years since her light left my life and this earth. Be aware of the side effects of all NSAIDs. Make sure you receive a product insert. Make sure blood work is done before starting on them (for instance, this is Pfizer's protocol regarding rimadyl--not mine!) and at two weeks (yes, two weeks--had that been done, I believe Eliza could have been saved), then every 6 weeks. Make sure platelets are checked in addition to kidney & liver function. Do not treat these drugs lightly--there is a reason that death was added as a side effect! I say this because I have noticed that many people pop NSAIDs into their pets like we take aspirin or ibuprofen. There is a reason the drug companies say "do blood work before dispensing". Listen to your vet if he/she recommends blood work, and if he/she does not do blood work, request it! I have managed for 8 years and with 16 other seniors to treat without the use of NSAIDs. Thank heaven!!! I thought the other day (after sending Slick off) about meeting her and seeing that great big smile and hugging her and telling her how sorry I am. That day is not too far off and I hope I can leave my guilt at the bridge when we go over....... I you Eliza Jane.

ShantisMom Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have heard of the effects Rimidyl can have. I kept my pups off it. I am so sorry you were one of the ones that had the horrible effect! Forgive yourself as you did the best you could do. Thank you for sharing this.

Guest greytgirl Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 awww Eliza your so so beautiful, especially with that funky bush hair Im so so sorry for the loss of Eliza You must never blame yourself, all you did was give love and the best care you could. My Tasha has muscular skelatol disorder (extreme arthritis) and she was prescribed Rymidil, unknown drug to me, I started her on it, was cleaning up her poop as always and noticed a little blood straight away..well that was it, back to the vets, she is 14yrs old, and I wanted this sorting, still not aware that this drug could have caused it, I was thinking the worst...cancer and so on. Im just so glad I spotted it straight away, and it is so brave of you to share this story, as for people like myself you are providing life saving info for our beloved pets. sending you love and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Eliza, I love seeing you communing with your fern. You should be very proud of your momma here -- she does so much to teach people, to look and listen and ask questions. And to give a dog a delicious biscuit! Rest well, sweetheart.

Guest darlene Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Diane, I'm pretty sure you aren't even aware of how many people you help on here. I read every post you make! I have such great respect for you, and it really touches my heart how you can take in the seniors, and encourage other people to also, knowing they won't have them very long. You are such an unselfish person, and always helping other people, and we ALL appreciate it more than you'll ever know! As others have said, Eliza Jane was so very lucky to have you for her Mom, and I'm sure some day you'll get the forgiveness from her that you need, that has been there all along.

Burpdog Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 I can't believe it still hurts so much Please do the blood work and read the product insert! Nothing has changed, except the year.....so I just copied and pasted, and changed the year In a few days it will be 9 years since her light left my life and this earth. Be aware of the side effects of all NSAIDs. Make sure you receive a product insert. Make sure blood work is done before starting on them (for instance, this is Pfizer's protocol regarding rimadyl--not mine!) and at two weeks (yes, two weeks--had that been done, I believe Eliza could have been saved), then every 6 weeks.

Thank heaven!!! I thought the other day while updating the Rainbow Land thread, about meeting her and seeing that great big smile and hugging her and telling her how sorry I am. That day is not too far off and I hope I can leave my guilt at the bridge when we go over....... I you Eliza Jane.
