(((((((((hsiw))))))))))

I just ache for what you are going through, and for what your precious Lucy is suffering.:(

this whole thing has even wider ramifications which I dont think have been discussed yet...........
apart from us pet owners being freaked about the petfood supply.........

my son has OCD/anxiety/panic etc which has been very low for alost 7 years now
however
this whole thing (following so soon after the p nut butter/lettuce/spinach etc scares) has triggered a major flareup in him, where he is suffering panic at eating or drinking anything for fear it is poisoned...to the point of not even being able to take the supplements that actually help him with this!
I am taking him in for an emergency acupuncture/reflexology etc session as I know that will help boost his endorphins and serotonin and hopefully calm him enough to break this cycle

I wonder how many other people are now also suffering paranoia about food safety

Here is a photo so you can see how beautiful my Lucy is.

Here you are (((Wish))). I've been wondering about Lucy. I am so very sorry, and please don't blame yourself. You've been a very good mom to Lucy.

I hate fighting overwhelming battles, but this is one I'd try to put some fight into.

I agree that I would have whatever test I need for proof.

Once I had a dog named Lucy, she was a border collie. I lived on a farm and the neighbor farmer shot her for bothering his sheep. And in my 57 years I've had to put down to many precious animals, and it does hurt so much. I'm still emotionally recovering from putting down one of my cats last year. There are so many humans who just cannot conceive of or understand just how important animals are and deserve rights. They do so much for us and out of pure love.

Wish

Lucy is heartbreakingly cute

I have you and her in my thoughts and prayers today

:hug:

(((wish)))

Awww...
 

what a tragedy! Are you the same "wish" from Secret Garden? Is this the
same beagle? The one who was on SAMe (Denosyl) ?

My heart is just breaking for you and Lucy! :Sob:

I recall some very cute pictures of that beagle in the past.

Yes mrsd that is me. I have more photos from today if I get the time later to upload them online.

Today I got good news and bad news. Right before the vet was going to euthanize her he gave us a speech about how he believes in miracles and has seem some crazy stuff before- so just in case he was going to do another blood check. And lo and behold, her levels turned around and started to decrease. the day before they were skyrocketing higher and higher and now they are showing some improvement. So he said it isn't fair to do it today when she is trying to fight it off. So he said we need to give her another 24 hours watch.

This is good news and I am ecstatic. But that is why its bad. I am getting my hopes up and he said it is one in a thousand chance of her turning around completely. So tomorrow I will get another update and visit her again. Today we brought in Charley (her much younger brother) and he is A-ok except for some allergies and a steroid shot.

So we are waiting and I have missed 6 classes so far this week and worrying about school now and catching up. I am doomed to another restless night and constant worrying. I can't help but feel hopeful and now this added optimisim might just make the downfall even worse.

I got some great homemade food recipes which are so easy to make from the vet. If your interested I will post them online, you really don't need much to make them.

oh wish I do hope this is a real recovery for Lucy!

Please do start a thread with those homemade recipes! That would be really great and the rest of us can then add to it with our own recipes

keeping you and Lucy in my thoughts and prayers!:hug:

(((Wish))) I am SO glad to hear from you. I thought about you all day and night as was my daughter and we all prayed for you and Lucy. Maybe this is really really good news, you just never know.

There are several stories on the internet of people going to heroic measures for their animals that have been affected by this. One I noted especially was a woman with a cat who now has to have IV all the time. But she chose that as opposed to putting her down. It shows a picture of her with an IV bag in the background!

Makes me wonder if I should really check in to pet insurance.

I hope and pray Lucy recovers even more today.

and YES I would like to hear your recipes if you don't mind! Thanks!

I'd love to see a thread with food recipes for our beloved pets! Great idea Chemar!
