Sunny

[Vally]

Hi Maura, it’s terrible when you are so worried you can’t sleep, and then you have to cope the next day. When you wrote above that Sunny has no interest in the backyard, Bingo was exactly the same. Did absolutely nothing. Just slept the whole time. His body, and Sunny’s body can’t spare any spare energy at the moment and is doing the best thing. Sleeping.

I hope you’re already alseep.

Love Vally & BIngo

Hi Maura,

Haven’t posted much, but I’ve read Sunny’s story from beginning to end. Just wanted to drop a line and sending much love and positive thoughts again to you and your cute furbaby. The picture is lovely, and as others mentioned, we can see how much you all love her. You’re a great caregiver, and Sunny feels this. Lack of sleep was terrible for me as well, it’s tough because you fear the worst. Hang in there, we’re here for you!

Hi All,
At the hospital with Sunny- she is not doing well. They said today transfuse or euthanize is recommended. The blood was cross matched. Sunny is suffering respiratory failure or something. I stepped out to write. Stepped out- I can’t take her home like this. I have to breathe and she seems like she can’t. I love her.
What a life this is–she is a life.
Love,
Maura

Hi Maura
I’m sorry to hear this – you can’t take her home like this – she needs specialist care. What exactly did they say was wrong with her breathing?

Oh Maura, I have been thinking about you and Sunny all day and have been so concerned. I hope that you can feel us with you, and that we care so very much. I know you love her so deeply. I am hoping against hope that they can identify what is causing the respiratory failure and treat that. We are all with you. Thinking of you and sending much love and big hugs —

Hi ,
Her heart rate stabilized and her breathing continued to be erratic. They said since I am not choosing euthanasia I can take her home- so I did. She is home laying-restless breathing (not prednisone-just labored).
The kind vet said less than 10% chance. I could not choose today. This disease is a beast. She perked up like 2x today after all thought was lost-she was a rag doll when I brought her in. The vet thinks I am crazy no doubt. They let me stay all day with her.
I feel like everyone thinks I am holding on for ME and they may be right. Tonight if she survives and still cannot move they think I have done ALL that I can.
Love
Maura
regardless of what happens I have to survive and I will know I did all I can. I gave her the 10% chance. She will not eat to take her atopica pill (why is it a horse pill). But I will always care about this disease and dogs. Somehow this needs to get cured, stopped. I will always do what I can to help.
Thank you for listening to me

Tamara, Sheena, Vally , anne
I can feel you all with me and very grateful to have a place to talk openly and emotionally–not everyone understands and that is ok too. This disease is so awful-my heart goes out to you all with your sweet fur babies that have suffered it. It is so darn confusing on all fronts.
Just seems my little Sunshine has had it. I will not give up but I fear she will have a horrible time.
I have her tonight and I am grateful. Her soul was meant to be with me.
I will post again soon
