Please Pray for Bubblegum

I wish I could give you real big hug in person Dyan, but cyber hugs will have to do. I know you must be beside yourself with worry and wanting to do the right thing and wanting to know what that is. I can only offer my own advice and that is to trust the Dr's. They know best and at this point, it's going to be difficult for you know enough about all that's going on to be an "expert". She is like your child, so what you're feeling is totally normal and just as scary. I hope that getting some nourishment in her helps her to bounce back. As much as the idea of a feeding tube bothers me, I'm not sure it's as awful to our dogs. They don't associate the stigma of how serious it is - thank goodness. I'll keep on praying and hoping for some positive news. Hang in there and don't forget to take care of yourself thru all this.

Hi Dyan, just wanted to let you know I keep checking back her for updates hoping to hear that bubblegum is improving. Just wanted to let you know that you are still in our thoughts. I feel like you and I are going through a similar time right now with different diseaseas. Snickers too is very weak and will not eat and I have had to force feed her by syringe. It wounds like you're dealing with a ton right now and poor bubblegum is lucky to have you. Hang in there.

Dyan, hang in there!  You need some time for you.  I wish I could be there to give you a respite but I can't.  We're all praying for you, DH & Bubby. 

Dyan--You are in my thoughts and prayers.  We are hoping for Bubby's recovery with all we've got.

 Hang in there, Bubby. We're thinking of you.

Hi everyone.. I just got home from work early today...and thought I would come on for a sec to tell you all what is going on. I left her there on IVs still and will pick her up at 6 before they close.     I am slowly loosing faith in her getting better.   She won't eat...won't drink either.  We put prescription a/d on the roof of her mouth to get her to swallow..but she is not happy about it.   Today she took a lick or two of water...thats it.

Today she got a shot of some medicine they use for Myasthenia gravis to see if it will help..and if it does it should show something an hours...... but she still coughs from hr pneumonia..... not sure if that is any better or not...honestly don't think so.  

I am so afraid that I might have to consider soon if I am keeping her here for me...and making her suffer.....I don't want to do that to her..  but I have to give her every chance....

I will never believe in a million years that this happened to a big strong healthy beautiful girl like her......I just can't believe it.

I know how this must feel, having gone through it two years ago with my beloved husky.

Bubblegum is such a cute name and she looks sweet in your pic. It must be so very hard to watch her strength become less and her not feeling well.  You are doing what you feel is best and it is all anyone could do in your situation. 

Bless you for taking good care of her.  I hope things will improve after that shot for the Myasthenia Gravis.

There are no good answers to that question, dyan, but one thing I do know is that Bubby knows you are there fighting for her.  Put an extra kiss on her forehead tonight for her B&W "stepmom"...

 Dyan, my heart goes out to you, and my candle is lit that the corner will be turned soon to recovery.  Hugs to you...

Keep fighting, Bubby!

Dyan you and Bubby are still on my heart -- in my prayers and good thots every day (and most all day).  It was two years ago today Foxy went over the Bridge and I just keep hoping he sticks that little sheltie/corgi nose in an angel's armpit and asks them to send healing to his buds Bubblegum and Snickers!!

    I'm praying that the shot will help, and that her pneumonia will get better. Sending big cyber hugs to you Dyan.
