Osinn11 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good looking girl you've got there. Wow amazing how different the coats can be on siblings! Ohhhh it breaks my heart to see those shave marks on her front legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Chloe, rereading - in your first message you say "her nose was blocked full of black sticky stuff," is that still the case?? If it is, has anyone taken a really good look at the discharge? Quoting myself here. Chloe, the reason for the question is that "black anything" is often an indication of blood. Blood from her nose would probably indicate a nick in her lung when they spayed her (though those aren't all that close... ??) If, however, playing devils advocate here, that were the case she would probably have sepsis which they should have seen on one of the other times they had her open. Hoping such is not the case, but just tossing a thought on the table .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Heard she started eating and drinking today glad to hear that x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyOnATree Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I hope shes ok. Its good that she started eating something. we all love our dogs. i cant believe they would just tell you to put down your dog. I would definitely go to another reputable vet/org for another check.

Bambi92 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 How is sky doing? I really hope you find answers soon worst feeling when you don't know what to do I don't know what to add other then what Al said have they tested the black muck in her nose? Maybe ring around to other vets and see if any can give you anything advice or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSEA Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 We've got an appointment Tuesday with a vet hospital, has more machines and equipments than the ones we've been using! Fingers crossed! Sky has eaten for England today, she has ate three cooked sausages, packet of ham and even took a bag of cheese savouries of the kitchen side and ate them all, but I'm not fussed I don't care what she eats as long as she's eating! Its brilliant, may only be a little step but it's better than taking three steps backwards! So happy! Fingers crossed she keeps going up and doesn't go down xxx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Fantastic news! One of the side effects of the steroids are an increase in hunger and thirst. In this case, I think it's probably a good thing! Fingers crossed for continued improvement. [emoji2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashagirl Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 So nice to hear that she is eating! That is ALWAYS a good thing when they want food. No matter what! Glad you got a good appointment!!

CROSEA Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi everyone! Yesterday wasn't a good day for Sky like I hoped, she are nothing and drunk nothing.. Last night I sat with her on her bed all night and she had no moved once, this morning her eyes are half closed all the time and she cannot move at all, I'm thinking this is a sign? I never thought it could be his hard, and feeling sick to the stomach knowing I have to make a decision on what to do, I've arranged for a vet to come out to us today to give their honest opinion, but I thinking Sky is slowly going xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm so sorry to hear she's relapsed. I guess all you can do right now is give her lots of love and wait to see what the vet has to say. Sending out all of my love to you both. you've turned your world upside down fighting to keep your baby girl alive, if there's one thing that's carried her this far, then undoubtedly it's the love and dedication you share together. Take care and good luck. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashagirl Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm sorry to hear of her condition today. It's good that the vet is coming to you today and will give you his honest expert opinion. No matter what, she knows you love her and you are with her to comfort her. It's so hard to make these decisions. Know that we are praying for her and hoping for the best. Much love to you and your sky <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley&chad Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 oh no, keep your head up. I hope she's okay and it's just a temporary relapse. :/ I guess just try to keep her water bowl by her, just in case? definitely keep us updated, though. hugs from Paisley & I. trust me, i know what you're going through. if you need to talk to anyone, I'm here.

CROSEA Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 She's had some water, I syringe it! Still waiting on the vet to arrive, stupid PDSA refused to email me the notes of Sky so luckily the private vets we went to before had them faxed over from PDSA, So they've kindly emailed me them now, 37 pages worth! Sounds awful, but wish my baby would just pass away naturally it would be so much easier on my behalf! Will keep you all updated xxx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it must be hard to even think in this situation, it was for me. if you don't mind me asking, what is PDSA? and holy crap, that's A LOT of notes. I understand that, too. it just doesn't seem natural or right to put them to sleep, but I guess in the long run it's the right thing to do if need be. I'm still praying that's not the case, though. but yes, definitely keep us updated on the sweet girl. good luck to both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSEA Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 PDSA is a vets for people with low income, it's a charity run vets but you still pay just less. And the private vets who we went to first the owner of it previously worked at the PDSA and he was telling us all the dreadful things they do there, to top it off if I had gotten Sky put down at the PDSA when they called me Friday if I had chosen not to have her ashes back, they put it in dog food?? Anyone else heard of this? It made me sick to the stomach! After the vets came at least I will know what I have to do, can't have my Skybe being miserable xxx Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Sopi Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Fingers crossed for poor little Skye, bless her I had to try very hard not to cry when I saw that last picture of her (I'm at work) - it brought it all back regarding the hard decision that lies before you - make the best choice for her - my thoughts are with you XX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashagirl Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yes, the vet will surely help with your decision. Wait and see what he has to say! I'm happy to hear that she took some water, even if it was with a syringe. Water is important no matter what. Hugs to you both <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Chloe, I pretty much agree with one comment you made - if she is going then, if I were you, I'd like it to be naturally and peacefully. However she goes, it isn't going to be easy to handle emotionally. I'd talk to the vet when he comes, if she isn't in any apparent pain and responds at all to your talking and petting, I think I'd be of a mind to just let nature take its course. Maybe that's also my way of saying that while there's any life there's always hope. I pray that something changes and she gets better - don't we wish that for all our dogs when they're under the weather. Accepting that we're going to outlive most of them is a part of living with them and it's not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSEA Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Vet came out and she is adamant that the PDSA know something, or might have damaged something inside of Sky whilst being spade, she explained that even if Sky did have Renal Kidney Failure they wouldn't suggest that she would be put down as many dogs live a normal life with it they are just treated! She's taken bloods and going to wait for the results, she said that a Sky was cold yesterday so she warmed her up and Sky perked up, I'm giving sky water every 20 minutes with a syringe on top of sky drinking water on her own. Food wise, she's not eating much! If bloods come back the same as before we are thinking of the camera down the throat? But the vet has said she does not recommend putting sky down! So we are going to keep fighting! Such an up and down, up and down situation! But finally think we've found the right vet for us!
