Karen, hopefully Kamina is rebounding fast and will be home very soon. As far as the walk, did you encounter any other dogs? We always walked Mali after her...
Thanks Ilene Yes, that helps a great deal - she is home, although she still isn't very interested in food her blood count was back to normal and the vets...
Hi Karen, With regards to the blood transfusion, is your vet refusing to give them because they will cause more problems for Bear, or simply because they will ...
Kerry, when my FeLV cat went into lymphoma, we can her transfusions every couple of days to get her a boost. We only did this when she stopped responding to...
cook chicken livers w/some olive oil and a bit of water. then mash them up and fill up the syringe. I just made Mali a big batch of livers today and added some...
He felt we should try diet and supplements first which would better sustain him long term (relatively speaking) than giving transfusions on an ongoing basis....
I had to make the decision to let Bear go today. He could no longer eat or sleep and was exhausted, depleted. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. He was...
Karen. I am just so very sorry to hear about Bear. I know how hard this is for you. I have a 15 year old Lab/Newf who will be going soon and I am...

Dear Karen, I am so very, very sorry. How do you move on? Through tears & smiles & more tears, and knowing that in your heart you did one of the most unselfish...
Oh Karen, I'm so sorry. I can't answer how to move on, as I have not gotten over the death of my dog from hemangiosarcoma over 3 years ago. She only lived for...
Karen, I just wanted to add that after my dog died, I spent endless time at the computer making tribute pictures of her. Her name was Lily, so I photo shopped...
Karen, I am so, so sorry to hear about your Bear. Everyone in this group knows exactly how much pain you are going thru. I lost my heart dog, Austin, in June...
Karen: I share your grief, and I wish I could tell you how to move on, but I don't think we do. I think Bear left a bit of his soul with you, and you carry...
Karen, this breaks my heart. Know that you did what was best for Bear, just as you have done during his entire life with you. I know the pain and hurt you're...
Karen, My heart goes out to you. This is something I fear and dread. You have truly done the right thing and made Bear's life so special all these years. Just...
