Long days ahead

My 16 year old dog is reallly sick.

She has not eaten nor drank anything in the last two days. I try to give glucose and water but she vomits it back up sometime later. She has not been well for the past 10 days. And right now she is just skin and bones. She even has problems walking now.

I called the vet to come and put her down. And when the vet came he saw that she was not 100% beyong help and asked me whether now not we could try to save her.

OMG, can you imagine????? The vet was at my front gate with a syringe and that dreaded red euthanesea bottle in his hand and he was suggesting that we should try to save her for a few more months at least.

Before I could say "yes" he was back at his car getting out his medication kit( which is a huge ass kit, lol). He gave her some shots, and me a prescription to get some meds for her.

The vet said that normally he would put down the dog in this state, but he said that He knew that if she had any chance of making it, that she could do it under my care.

SOOOOO, my next few days, I'm gonna be poking and proding that dog ( sigh yet again) to make sure she gets meds, fluids, electrolytes, etc every 2 hrs.

OHHH, he said to fight and by God I will fight to get her well.
Wish me luck all.

The first words...and you missed them? 😐

WOW! It's rare to hear of a dog that lives 16 years. What type of dog?

I would've just put her down. Not a good idea to make her suffer.

well, the last few times she got this bad and worse, she came right back afterwards, within a week she was all spritely again and two weeks the all the weight lost was back on. The last time she was ill was last year around this time, when she had an infected uterus and she had emmergency surgery. About 24 hrs later, she was still under the effects of the anesthesia and was going through the garbage bin in the kitchen. She is really a remarkable dog.

I'm guessing that the vet knows how well she recovers after being ill, And like me wants to see if a few more days will do her any good.

... like on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

he Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a popular American sitcom television series that aired on NBC from September 10, 1990 to May 20, 1996. The show featured Will Smith in a fish-out-of-water scenario. He was a streetwise teenager from Philadelphia who was sent to live with his wealthy relatives in a Bel-Air mansion. His lifestyle certainly did not fit well with that of his relatives living in Bel-Air. 148 episodes were produced over 6 seasons. The show is currently broadcast as a syndicated program and is seen on many networks such as The N and Nick at Nite. The syndicated show is shown on local channels in many countries.
