Thoughts for my best friend's dog
He is one of the nicest dogs I ever met, a true gentleman in every way. But, he is 14 now, and his hind end is pretty much gone. My friend lives on a second floor and actually spent the money to have a stair lift installed so that she could take him up and down the stairs to go outside once he couldn't...

Java is spending the night at the Vet's....update
and could use some vibes or prayers...whatever comes naturally to you. She is my 14 yr old mixed breed, blind from progressive retinal atrophy. One eye was looking strange today, she refused food, not drinking or peeing, and hiding in the bedroom. I called the on-call Vet at 1:30, and she said it sounded...

Callie needs our prayers
Many of you probably know this already, but she's in the hospital undergoing tests. She's had an infection and has been in pain. They think it's MRSA. I know I don't even have to ask because this is Callie, but please send her all the good thoughts and prayers you can.

For my MIL...
Due to a "lost" forum, I couldn't ask this last night, but she could use your prayers and recovery vibes. She underwent emergency surgery last night for a ruptured disc. That is scarey at any age, but she is 89... All I know now is that she came through it...am still waiting to hear how...

Please pray for this little filly
This little filly is named Artistic Touch and she was born just 2 days ago. She started getting sick last night and has been diagnosed with e-coli. The prognosis isn't good but they're doing all they can. Please say a little prayer for her, her mom Greta and her owners.

My dad needs prayers (miranadobe)
My (step) dad is 71 years old, and is going in for surgery tomorrow morning for cervical fusion. My mom has been worried about his health for years, but putting him under anesthesia and doing surgery on his spine has her especially (understandably) nervous. PLEASE, please, if you can spare some prayers...

Update Pg5 :( Patrick is gone (miranadobe)
My sister's dog, Patrick, went to the vet today to have a lump aspirated. Cytology will be back tomorrow (but there was a lot of blood), x-rays being performed tomorrow as well. Lump appeared suddenly and is on his throat - vet cautiously suspects lymphoma or thyroid cancer. Partly because of the...

Now my Papa needs prayer & good thots (Callie)
He's not in the hospital -- but he's had some sort of intestinal "thing" going on for days and Mom finally made him go to the Dr. on Monday -- new doctor (thank Heavens) who gave him some medication but it sure didn't work fast nor well. However -- this new doctor NOTICED that Dad...

Kord needs vibes please. UPDATE PAGE 3

Vibes needed for my cousin (janobonano)
It's kind of a long story, but my little cousin T has had behavioral issues his whole life. His mom (my aunt) was in denial for a long time and avoided getting him help ( I think - she never really talked about what was going on and didn't seem to admit there was a problem. He didn't start...

Mom's in the hospital-Update pg 2
We had to take Mom to the hospital last night (before the storm started, thank goodness!). Seems she has a blood clot in her lungs. They've started her on two drugs to thin the blood; the doctors think she'll be there close to a week. She's not in any pain and they didn't find any more...

Wylie needs some good thoughts
It is too long of a story to post right now, but I am afraid I am going to lose Wylie soon. He has been sick for a few weeks and the vet has run out of options. At this point he either eats and perks up at home, or he doesn't. And as of right now it is not looking good. He could really use some of...

My friend is in court NOW (Wed 3:20 p.m..)
She came out long enough to call me -- she couldn't talk -- but she is on 2 years probation and can't have an animal AT ALL for 2 years. AC doesn't want to let her animals be sent ANYWHERE and the implication is that they can be put to sleep tonight if a JUDGE doesn't sign an order...
