mareyeka Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Please keep Dee in your thoughts. She's totally lost any energy she had. She barely could go for her walk. We only made it past the corner and then had to turn back. She did something to her paw this morning and we had blood everywhere, but I couldn't find any source. It stopped bleeding, but I still can't find where it came from. Her hair is really awful, dull, dull, dull, and falling out. She doesn't seem very happy any more. She's incontinent of huge amounts of urine and still gets me out of bed all night long, every two hours on the dot, without fail. You can tell she's in a lot of pain in that bum leg and it looks so awful. If I didn't know Dee, I'd be afraid that it was some horrible disease or something. We're going back to the vet tomorrow. I pray I don't have to make a decision I'm not ready to make yet. This has to be fixable.

Batmom Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 But she has had a complete TBD panel? Not the quickie snap test. Have you and vet considered a course of doxycycline?

Batmom Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 ETA: The other things that leap to mind are hypothyroidism and the fungal diseases, which you sometimes see in the northeast. Hope you and your vet can get to the bottom of things.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
