Pirate, my medical mystery
*sigh* Late Saturday night Pirate has a series of seizures. Aunt Callie picked him up and took him to the e-vet, and the rest of Saturday night/Sunday I monitored him and watched for seizures. He did OK - a little seizury on Sunday but no full-blown events. Monday my vet had me leave Pirate at...

Please, good thoughts for Willow
Hi everyone. Please send Willow some high platelet vibes tonight. She had a blood test today to see if she is still in remission. She appears to be doing very, very well. But, it never hurts to pray and be positive, right?? Thanks!! Lori

Question for Christian members - about pets & religion
For those who believe in the Bible and believe in the rapture /the second coming of Christ... when the rapture happens, what will happen to everyone's pets who depend on us for care? Do you think God anticipates this and will provide? I don't know what made me start pondering this, so I'm...

Prayers for Gracie the Ancient RR and Her Owners
My beloved Gracie is we think around 17 -- well past the life expectancy of a Rhodesian Ridgeback. We have had her 15 years, She has arthritis and some major problems controlling her hind end. And she doesn't like being around our noisy toddlers. So far, she seemed to still have a decent quality...

I need some prayers or hugs or whatever you can give.
It's a long story, but my mother is not doing very well right now. I'm very worried, as is my family. Any prayers you can spare, any vibes, whatever would be so appreciated right now. It's a really hard time.

Here I am asking for prayers again--for Willow
I feel like I shouldn't bother you all but for Willow I will. We were not able to lower her Prednisone two weeks ago as we would have liked because her platelets dropped significantly since the last test. She's going for another test tomorrow and we are hoping that this drop was just a normal...

Good thoughts for my daughter
My 35 year old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 8 months pregnant at the time of diagnosis. She also has a two year old son. Her doctor felt that she should have the baby induced so that she would recuperate as soon as possible for a mastectomy, chemo and, possibly radiation. I guess...

Requesting Prayers For My Son (Another Update)
We got a phone call from my oldest yesterday and only got to speak with him about 3 minutes. He fractured his tibia on a 6 mile ruck march (he is in the Army in Infantry training) and he finished the march, went out for a PT run the next morning and the bone snapped. He told us that it looks like...

Prayers for Jezzy
and for me. She's having a dental tomorrow morning. To say that I'm scared to death is an understatement. She's my baby girl, and I've heard too many horror stories of Min Pins and dentals to treat this as routine. We are doing the pre-op bloodwork and they are going to just gas her down...

Billy the Venturin e.c.s-YELL needs prayers & good thots
I'm just going to post this here first. Because we don't *know* anything yet. Billy's been acting just a bit punky lately -- not 'bad' -- just not up to par. Now it's hard to tell -- the pug is 8 months old and doing the "bratty teenager" thing. Billy's a great...

Good vibes please...
Mike made it from death's door to actually being transferred to rehab again, thankfully not in the same icky place as before. But, he gets understandably discouraged, knows he isn't as healthy as last time, and is strugglling with all of this in the hope that he can gain enough condition to undergo...

Keep Mr. Bear in your thoughts please
I posted a while back (July, I think) that Bear had a seizure. Bamaeskie posted the name of a really good book about canine epilepsy, which I bought and read right away. Since then, Bear has had a few more seizures, each about 3 weeks apart, so I wasn't panicking until last night. He started having...

Please pray for Willow tonight
She is doing well--really well, much stronger over the last two weeks. She even put her paws up on my bed to wake me up from a nap. I haven't even been sleeping in bed all summer because she couldn't do that to wake me until just this week. And, she's walking a little more too. So, overall...

Good Thoughts for Mask & Ash, Please
Mask & Ash's owner was brutally murdered earlier this week. Here's a link to my original post http://community.dog.com/forums/t/85396.aspx . They are not doing well. They are clearly mourning & very stressed out. Their foster mom contacted one of the local (Louisville, KY) TV stations...

If anyone can spare a prayer
He's already given me so much. I feel like I don't even have the right to keep asking Him for things. But, Willow's going for another blood test tomorrow. If her platelets have remained up on this dose of Prednisone they will lower it again. This has been very hard on her and really hard...

this old Pug - the saga continues
I was at the shelter yesterday walking dogs and this little old man touched my heart. He didn't have a name, but was a stray brought in and he has some medical issues. I spent a little time with him - it seemed to hurt for him to walk, but he definitely wanted to cuddle. He was scared and whimpering...

One of us needs some support (Callie)
I just got off the phone with Bonita - due to some truly unintentional problems and circumstances she's not able to be on I-dog right now and she asked me to tell anyone she may owe correspondence or 'help' that she's promised that she can't access the forum and apologizes to one...

Prayer Request (jenn52)
I know I really don't know anyone around here, but I read all the threads, even if I don't chime in. So I feel a little weird asking for prayer here, but I feel at such a loss, I was hoping maybe you guys can say a few powerful Idog prayers for me. I just don't know what to do about my health...
