Very worried about Khoale (outdoorschik)

Karen, as hard as this is, I know you will do what is best for Khoale.  (((((Hugs)))))

Karen, I'm sorry you're going through this but I agree with Tina.  As hard as it is, you'll do the right thing.  (((hugs)))

hmmm -- dang, Hon I am SO sorry.  I fear you've probably nailed it.  And your assessment of her personality is likely on target as well.  You have my prayers and good thots, as always.

Feel free to give me a call.  You've still got my number?  (most folks on here don't know it but it was YOU who got ME to come here years ago!!)  If I can help in any way just holler!"

Good luck at the vet.  I'm hoping its just some sort of infection or something like that making him feel really yucky. 

 Thanks guys... I appreciate the thoughts and support.

Hey, hopefully I'm way off, but what I see and haven't said out loud yet is (and I'm not trying to play vet... not even on TV ;)) maybe systemic lupus, maybe IMHA now as secondary to discoid (the nose lesions are screaming possible discoid lupus, I've seen it before and vet said we'd test for it next) brought on maybe even by the strong antibiotics since one autoimmune goes hand in hand with developing another. Maybe something else hideous.... she seems to have discomfort in wearing a harness and swallowing as well, vet noticed lesions on the inside roof of her mouth last time. maybe, maybe, maybe... i'll find out soon enough :( need the bloodwork.

Love to be wrong one of these times... I want to go in and them to tell me, "My god Karen, you are all worked up in a tizzy for nothing, she has a little doggie bug that can be easily treated with 'xyz'".

She goes off her food very easy, so she'd be impossible to work with if it's something bad... she makes herself sicker by not eatting and hates being syringe fed so it's not an option to treat something bad in my mind, just how to keep her comfortable if it were to come to that. Also, the other female dogs have been getting after her physically more... they sense something and are taking advantage trying to step up a bit in the pack order.

{{{Karen}}} hoping for the best!

 Karen, I'm so sorry you're going through this again. I know you'll do what's best for Khoale; sending healing vibes. {{{hugs}}}

Sending good thoughts and hugs your way.

I got a message this afternoon from her on my phone -- Khoale does NOT have an auto-immune thing - this is PERFECTLY TREATABLE and really not a huge thing.  She was SO happy when she left me the message and said "I WAS WRONG!! RAH!!!!!!"

Don't think she's ever been so happy to be wrong in her life!!

Im sorry to hear this...get better vibes your way <3

Ohhh!!!!!! Just saw Callies message!!! Yayyyyy for you!!  Haha I went from sad to insta happy in 2 seconds.

That's awesome! I'm so glad it wasn't something serious... hopefully she'll be feeling well enough to teach the other dogs some respect soon, lol!

This is great news--esp. for Thanksgiving!! Yeah!!!

 I love it when you're wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Lots to be thankful for today:-)))  Doin' the happy dance for you and Khaole.
