It's not been a good week
I don't hold out much hope for this week's weigh-in. Oh, when at work
I've been doing just fine -- but I was off 2 days sick, and then up all
last night with a sick dog as well. So I haven't eaten well the last 2
days.
We're so worried about her that it's stressing us out. I keep telling
hubby it may be time to accept the inevitable -- she's a Fox Terrier and
she's 11 years old. Yes, smaller dogs can live longer, but she's
started vomiting in the wee hours of the night and it's gotten more
frequent. He's switched up her food, even cooking her chicken, rice and
veggies and pureeing it so it's easier for her to eat, but she's still
getting sick. Today he's going to try to get her in to the vet, and I
told him to go ahead, but not to be surprised if there's nothing they
can do for her. I've been through this before with another dog years
ago. When the vomiting increased dramatically, she died shortly after.
I'm afraid I may be going through that again. It's so hard -- we both
love her so much, but she's definitely his baby. They have a special
bond and I know that no matter when it happens, he's going to have a
very difficult time with losing her. So I hope he gets some encouraging
news from the vet today, but I'm preparing myself for the worst.
