We have been quiet a while, Amy's med's worked till about three weeks ago, then we started the going wee's for about 6 times..............we..got anti biotics........driving all an sundray nuts. NOTHING TO COME OUT................but maybe blocked or no way to come out.
So I got sticks to -day all Ok bar blood probably from straining.
Jane the vet has been great...said mother not coping well......................Amy is OK bar that weeee thing. So we are now trying Prozacand pregnisalone with her other med. Bloods were done to-day and her renal and liver are great. Jane thinks she may have some errosion going on so hence she thinks she has to keep going so hence the prozac and the preg may help her meds
We know this is a end game some time, maybe soon, maybe not.................I just want to wind back the clock to last year this time............... other than going wee's 6 times when she goes she is normal and I love her to bits.
sorry to drivel on
Roberta
:comfort: Roberta..... I know it is so hard.. you just go on and on as much as you want to ! We are worried about Wee Amy too..... and glad to get a report - I have been wondering how she was doing. All you can do is enjoy each and every day...and I pray there are tons of them !!!! Please keep us posted - we are here to listen !
Like Barb said, take each day, one at a time and enjoy her. Poor wee Amy. I can just see her looking up at Mum and Dad with her pretty eyes saying "Hold me. I don't feel good." Sending a boatload of rays your way.
Have you tried the Cranberry capsules may help in the wee department Cranberry juice keeps bacteria from adhering to the to the bladder wall,since dogs usually will not drink Cranberry juice they have Cranberry capsules. A RN friend of mine gave them to her son he was parallelized did not like cranberry juice she said the cap0sules did help him.Rays to little Amy hugs to all too.Patches,Buddy & Papbouv
I understand we havent held ours in a month and when those eyes look at you like why cant i be held any more its heartbreaking,,,,,,,
Thinking of you and saying prayers.
stacyth There is really no reason not to hold your Fur kid you just have to be careful and go slow I bet if you ask people on Dogerslist.com even Wiener Writings can tell you how to do it. One would think your Fur Kid may feel unloved make it harder for her to heal They must feel loved in order to heal that is true for any living thing.good luck
Yes Stacey, just pick her up as Kathleen said with her mat. Be patient and you'll be back to as normal as possible.
Roberta
Poor Wee Amy. I'm so sorry she's not feeling her best. Hope the medication gets her weeing straightened out and fast-I can't imagine how uncomfortable that must be.
I did not know Amy was having problems. Poor little girl. Since FB, I don't get over here as often so just seeing this. Please let us know how she continues to do.
I second Delia...what is going on with Amy I tried to track back but can't find it?
I've emailed Dee Dee the whole saga, Delia its over a few pages............. Rays etc
The bottom line is Amy has Transitional Cell Carcinoma it’s an inoperable bladder tumour. She is on meds that will keep her comfortable and functioning for as long as possible. The litrature says 3-5 months on average longest 9 after detection....................so I will try with all my power to keep her as long as she wants to be here, at the present she has rocked the boat a few times, but we have found ways around it. her baseline liver and renal function was and still is good. So any spare prayers will help.
Roberta and da gang
Oh, Roberta, I'm so sorry. Amy is in my thoughts.
Oh, Roberta ..... I am so sorry. Comforting hugs to all of you.
OMG!!! I'm so sorry, Roberta. At least the meds are working for her now. Please keep us updated. It's so hard when they're sick. How is Oliver? Do you think he notices anything?
Thanks all the first shock was bad and I get teary every so often, but you cannot change life, some other owners don't even get 7 years with their kids, not that that makes it easier. Amy is going well.............Oliver has always been the needy one, and their has never been anyone but him in his mind................so even though he gets a lot of time walking with me he still pushes in when we are giving her time. His song is "its gotta be me"

Rays & Hugs to you both.
Sending rays your way. Don't ever underestimate the power of a dachsies' stubborness. We've seen an awful lot of our furkids given doomsday diagnoses, yet they hang in there with an amazing tenacity.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Been away for a few days and am just reading. Rays to sweet Amy.
So sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Sending HHHHH's & PPPPPPP's for you all.
These dogs can be really stubborn so you never know just how long she will hold out.
Moosie hung on a lot longer than the vets thought he would considering his age.
Good luck to you all and enjoy your time together.
