Please pray for our beagle

[Tinker]

You and your dog have my prayers. I've been where you are. My beloved beagle, Lady (same name!), died in my arms when I was 15 years old. She used to follow me everywhere. Wonderful dogs. I haven't been able to have dogs anywhere I've lived since I moved away from home. I love everyone else's dog instead.

Blissful, there is one thing I know. No ain reliever nor any antibiotic nor anything else you can give your dog to heal her works as well as the least costly thing: your sitting, stroking her, and talking to her, telling her all about her life, what she means to you, how important it is that she get well. She will get it, and you will have a happy girl, soaking it all in.--Kinnickinic

I just love this, thanks.


And thanks so much to everyone for your thoughts and wishes. They meant a great deal....

Just read about your girl. Hope she's doing better this evening. Give her a scratch behind the ears.... and put her a step so she can get into her favorite sleeping spot without jumping!

Thinking of all of you.

So sorry; I hope she recovers and continues to bring you joy. The playfulness and the unconditional love dogs bring are priceless and downright therapeutic.

Taking Lady back to the vet this AM - she has been vomitng the last two days and is dripping saliva everywhere (she did eat fine this AM thogh). I hope it's only an allergy to the meds they gave her.

Hope all goes well today.

You and your family, especially little lady, are in my thoughts and prayers.

[SawnieRobertson]

Hopefully it is her meds. She probably will need to have some counter-hydration stuff too. I'll bet that the next 24 hours will produce a much happier girl.--Kinnickinic

Beagles are such sweet dogs! Best wishes for a complete recovery.

Well, went to the vet. At first he thought it was the meds and put her on anti nausea med. Then he came back and said she had a loud heart murmur in the mitral valve and was concerned it might have led to fluid build up. So they did a chest x ray to find she has beginnings of congestive heart failure, not too bad, but she is on a pill now for that daily the rest of her life. And also, he found her trachea very swollen, so she is on pills for that. And he decided he still wants her to take the other 2 meds - the anti inflammatory for her back and the antibiotic. So more pills (five containers of them in all) and she's not happy about taking them.

I hide my dogs pills in home made mini-meatballs.

[hawkeye]

Give her a pet from me,hope she is doing well.

[berninbush]

Peanut butter is also good for hiding pills. I used to let my dog lick it off a plastic spoon. It works until they learn to lick all the peanut butter off and spit the pill out....

[adventurousmtnlvr]

something similar happened to mine so I DO know exactly how you feel. My prayers are with you, your family and especially your beloved dog .. poor thing in pain ... I really DO understand that ... my dog was my only child so blessings to all

[Blissful]

Well, now pretty convinced Lady was not vomiting but is having a nasty cough / cold. Some type of bad of respiratory bug. But at least the vet did also discover the heart condition and has her on medicine for it, so that's good.
Plugged in the vaporizer today for her.

[berninbush]

If her trachea is swollen and she has fluid buildup in her chest, it's no wonder she is coughing. Sounds like a prime situation for pneumonia. Hopefully the antibiotic and vaporizer will help prevent that.

Hope she feels better soon.
