@kayap2020 Susan, I am sorry for your loss of Kaya. What a nice name. Will you tell us about her? How are you doing?

Nancy, what a beautiful girl Macy was. There is no timetable on grief. It can take a long time to open your heart and home again. I know someone who refuses to go through the grief of losing a beloved pet ever again. That’s her choice and I understand it. I went for many years without a pet again, then fell in love with my girl who I was fostering back to health. She’s getting up there (17 soon), and has ongoing medical issues we’re treating, and I have melted down a few times when I thought she was dying, so I know the pain. I also wouldn’t trade the years we’ve had together, sleeping with her backside in my face, having someone greet me when I come home…just all the love in the house while she is in it. It’s not easy to say goodbye. I hope you find smiles before tears, and let us know how you are doing. -

Chriss, I am so sorry for your loss of Macie. What a darling girl. Is Mario her brother? How is Mario doing now? When did you and Macie part?-
Ty. No not her brother. It was last Monday. I am a bit better. Mario is sad. Ty

Remember 5 years, 9 months agoMy sweet baby Gizmo the day he passed away. I miss him so very much, he was one of a kind! Even to this day I will call out his name sometimes when I\’m calling my other dogs. I love you to the moon and back Gizmo Diamond, forever loved and missed. Before Gizmo I had Snookers as a child, I loved her so very much and she lived a long happy life. I miss them 💔😢 -

How wonderful of you, Felecia. I hope it works out for you both. Let us know, and if you find out about out of state requirements or other information, please share that with us. I’m pretty sure adoptions are done all the time, but you raise a good question about Fostering out of state….. -

Gotcha – it’s below zero here today !! I worry for the animals living on the streets. That’s one of the many reasons we support shelters and rescues. -

Yes, Jennie, the selfless, kind act of releasing our beloved pet from suffering is so very difficult and heart wrenching, even though we intellectually know it’s our final act of kindness we can extend after a life together. I am sorry you had to say goodbye to Caesar, but you acted in his best interest, and with Love. If you are not ready to bring another faithful friend into your home, perhaps you could volunteer to walk dogs at a shelter to help fill the void?…. -

Cathy, thank you for your insights and tips. I called my 24 hour ER a few weeks ago on a Sunday (lots of blood in her stool, which we are treating) and then thought maybe I was being silly since it’s a known progressive inflammatory disease and almost didn’t take her. Glad I did. We were there 2 1/2 hours and they increased her dosages. You are right – they are very busy and since we can’t go in with them, I suggest bringing a book to read while you wait outside. Any time you can share your thoughts, it’s much appreciated. Wendy lost her beloved Snuggles to a bad reaction to insulin and I asked her if there were symptoms of diabetes. We can all learn and benefit from our shared experiences. Toni -

Oh Wendy, how sad. He’s a good looking guy. How did you find out he had diabetes? Were there symptoms?-
Thank you.
He lost 7 pounds in a month and a half and he started drinking tons of water and his appetite was uncontrollable.He lost muscle mass in his hips and shoulders, also.

Remember 5 years, 9 months agoI always had pets growing up. Everyone was the best dog or cat ever in the entire world. Caesar my bestest buddie passed away January 2019. He was diagnosed with Epilepsy and had seizures, but not close enough together to put him on meds. The meds would have done more harm to his body than good. He must have had a seizure during the night and hurt his back, I had no choice, he was paralyzed. I live with that decision but know in my heart it was for the best for him. He is running free over that rainbow bridge playing with all the other pets I had. It hurts my heart to this day. I miss him.-

We had our beloved cat, Snuggles, cross the rainbow bridge on Tuesday, 02/09/21 as he was battling diabetes and not adjusting well to the insulin. 😔-

I’m so happy to hear positive outcomes. That is wonderful news that she regained her sight. I would be more than happy to give my insight on certain issues. Please be aware I am not DVM but have seen a lot over my 20 years in the business that I may be able to help. My input to the majority of the people I spoke to was that a peace of mind and gut instinct is always the best recourse. If you pick up the phone to call a 24 hour emergency service you should follow your instinct and let them know you are coming over. Always best to call a 24 hour hospital before coming over. It could be 2:00 in the morning and there are 15 patients in the waiting room. Animals are triage by seriousness of the emergency. Not all 24 hour hospitals are fully staffed like they are during the day. So be prepared to wait unless your pet is in critical condition. If you are lucky enough to have a University near by see if they have a 24 hour service. They are always highly staffed. But, please remember if you feel your pet needs emergency care never hesitate to go to the ER. Your pet will be seen by a Vet tech to make sure they are stable. If not, ER personnel will go into full veterinary care. Just some in’s and out’s of the ER care in Veterinary Medicine.-

Thank you so much for your kindness… Of course I would take in another baby… I have my eye on this poor baby that is 17 years old – came from Louisiana to a shelter in West Chester PA – I have to contact them and see if they allow out of state fosters.. I know no kill shelters do their best and are awesome with all the furbabies.. but it breaks my heart to know she is 17 and best for her to be in a comfortable home… 🙁-
