My heart is broken my little Snookie Cookie is so sick and can not eat, she is drinking water when I hold it under her head.. I took her to the vet a couple of weeks ago and she has been on medication. She had blood in her poop and was throwing up at that time. The pills seemed to help for a while but after we lost our little girl Chili Bean she started going down hill.
My family (husband and grown children) want me to wait for 4 days and see if she gets better, because she was so sick before and then she got better. My broken heart tell me she will not get better and I am so torn as to what the right thing to do is. They think there is hope as long as she is still alive. I have been sitting and laying with her all night long. My poor baby can't even go out to use the bathroom she can not stand without falling over. Her eyes have a pleading look in them and when they don't she stares into space.
I have spent over $1000.00 on her to run every kind of test they could do to find out what is wrong with her. I ran her from vet to vet trying to hear the words I wanted to here. But they all said the same thing they could not fix her. I do not regret one penny that I spent on her, love does not have a price. I was lucky to have the money. I thank God my husband worked at Ford Motor Co. before he retired and we were able to have money to spend on her.
Oh boy I guess I am rambling on because I am so afraid of my little girl getting worse and having to put her to sleep. One of the worst things I ever had to do was to put Chili Bean my fur grandbaby to sleep but oh dear God not my most precious little Snookie girl too. For those who pray please pray for Snookie, and for my husband and me, my children, and my grand children who have suffered from death already.

Hi Ann
I am thinking of you and praying for you and yours.
Youll know when the time is right and you will be strong.
I used to draw water up into a syringe for Jude when she had her stroke (obviously no needle) and liquidise food too.
I hope it doesnt come to this but just incase.
Love to you all

Oh no. I was reading about her taking a turn for the worse this morning, and had hoped that she got better as the day went on.
I'm so sorry that this is happening to you.
My Falkor went downhill after Luba died for a while. All he did was sleep. I thought that he was dying too However, it turned out to be arthritis, together with a reaction to Luba's death. Luckily, he responded well to his meds. I am grateful for this every waking moment.
I've been where you are, having lost one, and worried sick about the other. I am praying that things turn for your little darling the way they turned for my boy...

Oh Ann,
My heart breaks for you and your family. I remember this like it was yesterday. Just love your Snookie and you will know what to do, she will let you know. My Dieter was my little "soul" dog and I knew what he wanted. He just looked at me when it was time. It broke my heart and it's still broken, but I did what I needed to do for him so he wouldn't be in pain anymore. I couldn't even get him to drink water, and he loved to drink water. Ann, I'm praying for you and your girl, that she will begin to feel better and you will have some peace in your heart.
