Hi Suba
I am so sorry to read about what you and Poppy are going through. It must be unbelievably difficult being away, although it sounds as though she is in good hands. This is a horrible disease and we all understand how hard it is. I hope that you are soon able to get home to your girl. Have the vets done chest x-rays and scans?
Rooting for Poppy and sending lots of positive vibes your way.
Best wishes,
Mary and Mable x
Poppy passed away this morning US time. They tried to get her to stand up to go potty and she collapsed, went into arrest and they lost her in 10 seconds.
Hold your babies close and make wonderful memories.
Sincere thank-you to everyone here who gave me much comfort and support unexpectedly and when I most needed it.

My dear Suba
I’m dreadfully sorry to hear about Poppy – I know you are completely devastated. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. So unfair. I hate this disease & what it does to our precious pets. So sorry, Suba. No-one could have done more for her than you did. She is at peace now.
Love & hugs

Suba, I am so very sorry that you are face with this and your dear Poppy. These ladies are the very best as Linda said… They helped me with my little one Hayley who has IMAH . Linda also helped me ,too.I know how very helpless you feel and we all understand… our fur children are just that our babies. I so wish we all could reach through and give you a hug… as you need a big hug. I have a wonderful fur baby who fought cancer for 3 years treatments and surgery…. the vet said she could end up like Hayley with systoms of IMHA ,too. My heart goes out to you, Suba. My prayer’s and thoughts are coming your way. I am so glad you found these wonderful ladies they are the best… and, Dr. Dodds is someone you might like to get advice from… as the ladies said she is so caring and knows so much about this disease.My Hayley’s vet gave me her info and Dr. Dodds got right in touch… she did not change anything the vet did but… she emailed often to just check on Hayley… the support was wonderful… in a time your head is spinning and you don’t get a handle on thing’s.I wish the very best for you and your dear Poppy… as I know you are facing such stress and concern’s of not knowing what to do.We all have been in your shoes and … we care. Lynn & Hayley
Dear Suba and Vikram,
I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Poppy. Of course I don’t know exactly how you feel, but believe me, I have a pretty good idea. Your heart is broken, you feel physically ill and you probably have no tears left to cry. No words can really ease your pain right now but there are a few things I want to say to you.
First of all, Poppy had a wonderful life with you. Nothing makes dogs happier than be with their people and being loved. Obviously you were the center of Poppie’s wonderful world and that made her happy. You did everything in your power to make her recover from this awful disease, you did everything right. Unfortunately even though we do everything right, sometimes it is not meant to be. I can imagine, it must be hard to think that you would have liked to be there with Poppy for her last breath. I have heard about dieing people not being able to let go because their loved ones where by their side. Maybe that was the case with Poppy? She was very ill but she loved you so much that she was not able to let go. Once you were out of sight she was able to die. I know that right now when you think of Poppy, what comes to mind is her sad face and her being ill. In time you will remember the good days, nobody can take away the wonderful memories of beautiful times with Poppy.
If you feel like it, go to “the bridge” on this website, maybe what is written there will help you a bit on your journey.
Please accept my sincere condolences,
Love and best wishes,
Brigitte
I am so very sorry to read these words. Your FaceBook post – what a beautiful heart you have and Suba was such a lucky girl to have had you in her life. She was beautiful and I can see, even in the pictures, her gorgeous coat. She was that way because of your love, shining.
My most sincere, heartfelt condolences to you and Vikram.
I so wish I could give you a huge, consoling hug……
Much love, Linda
Suba,
I do not know any words to say just how very sorry I am for your loss. Just week’s ago I lost my senior to cancer and …. I know it takes time to deal with the loss. My heart feels so very sad at your loss… you were such a good mom to Poppy and she was so very lucky to have been your little fur baby and will forever be part of your heart…may you have peace to know that you did everything any pet parent could. Love and comfort for you, Lynn
