Thinking of you and Ollie Dog and sending lots of good wishes and hugs your way. :rolleyes: :p

Glad to hear he has picked up and home where he belongs.

He is gorgeous. Have you changed his diet in any way and added something new in?

Boiled lean chicken (no skin) and rice only for the moment until her tummy settles down.

Jodie I'm thrilled to hear of Ollie's progress, enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful day together.

That is really great news to hear King is on the road to recovery. Another safe natural product to use is "Noni Juice" tastes terrible but has great effects on helping the immune system to repair itself and is amazing, talk to your health food shop and see what they think, they put us onto it for our dog who had cancer and although it didn't cure him it added to his quality of life. Can't wait to see some more pics.

I pop some vegemite into the kong toy, freeze it and then give it to puppy.

Sending lots of healing wishes to your boy, try to stay positive I know it's hard when something like this happens, please keep the updates coming we are all praying for a speedy recovery for your boy.

Sorry to hear your boy is not well, his throat would also be sore from the coughing so let him lick some honey off a spoon which may help his throat to feel a little better this could be the reason he won't eat, hurts to swallow. I would speak to the vet again and explain that he is refusing food and water the drip would help him get over the worst of it and rehydrate him as well. Keep us updated as to how he is going.

First there was the Hoya plant I had been growing for 15 years spread across the patio because I was too busy to play (Not happy Jan), great way to get Mum's attention, managed to save half of it and it's now growing nicely up much higher than before. Pearl likes to eat roses, thorns and all, managed to chew 6 of them down to the ground, so off to Bunnings to buy new ones this time they came with chicken wire and stakes Roses are growing happily, mum is happier, Pearl stands at new boundary I just know she is going to overcome this but for the moment I have the upper hand for a change.

Great News

I would recommend a trip to the vet to have this checked out.

Jodie any news on how Ollie dog is doing? Hoping he is feeling better, able to keep some food down and home with you.

Jodie I am so sorry to hear Ollie isn't doing so good, keep positive thoughts. You are both in my thoughts and prayers, come on Ollie dog you can do it boy for your Mama.

Erny before I read the post I went and got the box of tissues and a smoke, something I never do in the house but I felt I needed one just at this moment. I am only fairly new to DOL but I have read your post about Kal from the first page and check daily for any updates, you both fought a very brave battle and as a testament of your love you have given Kal her wings to ease her ills and pain and she will suffer no more. Please know that I am thinking of you today with a sadness in my heart that you have had to do what was necessary, Kal thanks you for that and albeit it is never an easy thing but we do so with the feeling that we are able to take the pain away for our best friends. I feel through the posts that I have come to know Kal and I thank you for sharing your story with us and making us a part of your extended family. RIP Sweet Kal, loved companion of Erny. A Parting Prayer Dear Lord, please open your gates and call St. Francis to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge. Assign her to a place of honor, for she has been a faithful servant and has always done her best to please me. Bless the hands that send her to you, for they are doing so in love and compassion, freeing her from pain and suffering. Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss. Help me remember the details of her life with the love she has shown me. And grant me the courage to honor her by sharing those memories with others. Let her remember me as well and let her know that I will always love her. And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise, please allow her to accompany those who will bring me home. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of her companionship and for the time we've had together. And thank you, Lord, for granting me the strength to give her to you now. Amen.

Erny I don't know what to say to you and Kal.

That was so beautiful and yes the tears are flowing freely. Thank you so much for sharing that

Maybe towel him when going in and out to the toilet, trying to explain this so it makes sense, place towel under back legs and hold towel up with both hands so you are taking his weight so he is really only walking and putting full weight on his front legs. Probably not a great description and hopefully someone else will be able to explain it a bit better.

How very sad to have such a life for a beautiful soul. ;) Run free sweet girl

Glucosamine has been known to help from what I have been told and I'm sure others will have more helpful suggestions as well. One thing is to have his feed bowl on a telephone book or stool rather than on the ground where he has to stress the hips to get to it. Let us know how he is doing.

Go Ollie dog

So very glad to hear they are doing so good, lots of hugs and good wishes coming their way.

That was a beautiful tribute to Sam I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face, it is so hard to deal with and my thoughts are with you in this sad time.

I received this poem in an email today and thought it would be nice to post it, what a wonderful tribute to her best friend, wish I could write mine but emotions still get in the way. I MISS HER by Melody Stewart-Markey I miss stepping and tripping over her every morning when I get out of bed. I miss opening the bathroom door to see her lying right outside the door, waiting for me. I miss us going down the stairs, taking our time walking down the steps, to letting her go outside and do her business. I miss dog hair all over my dark dress pants! I miss Lyzha being under the dining room table while I'm putting on my makeup. I miss being in the kitchen at 6:15am filling her food and water bowl. I miss Lyzha standing over her dog bowl waiting for me to fill her bowl with food and water. I miss that face she made to let me know, "Come on, I'm hungry." I miss her coming over to me when I'm putting on my makeup and nudging me to give her some love! Leaning on my leg, giving me a look of complete sadness, like no one ever pays any attention to her! I miss our morning conversations. I miss telling her I'll see her tonight and to keep an eye on the house and watch over the boys for me. I miss coming home and Lyzha being all over me -- hair, toe nails and all the love she can give to me. I miss her lying in between the kitchen and dining room doorway watching me make dinner. I miss her when I drop food on the kitchen floor, which is all the time. I miss her begging for food every time you have a plate or something in your hand. I miss giving her "boneys." I miss the excitement she had when you said the word "boney." I miss her running to the kitchen for her "boneys". I miss her excitement to see me pickup her collar and leash. I miss our walks in the park. I miss the drive to the park and her excitement of just getting ready. I miss her getting out of the car at the park, smelling the ground and sniffing the air as if she had never been there before. I miss her happy smiling face and her bouncing tail as we walked through the park. I miss her excitement and enthusiasm at the small "happy" things. I miss talking to her. I miss relaxing with her. I miss scratching her sides, butt, head and ears. I miss putting my feet on her back, as she laid on the floor, and rubbing her back. I miss her turning her head up to look at me and then placing it back down to enjoy the rub. I miss us watching a movie together. I miss us doing laundry together. I miss us filling the bird feeder and sharing a small handful of birdseed, which she really liked. I miss coming home to see her waiting on the front porch for me. I miss sitting on the porch and just sharing quiet time. I miss coming home to a 110 pound girl looking out the full length glass screen door -- her whole body wagging from side to side with pure excitement, because I'm home. I miss my best friend. No husband, child or friend will ever replace that love that my girly girl gave to me. Unconditional! I miss Lyzha.

Erny don't feel bad, Kal loves you so much I'm sure she has even forgotten the growly voice, sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between whines and you have so much to contend with, don't beat yourself up about it. On another note it's really wonderful to hear that the seizures seem to have abated and the medication is helping with the nose blockage, just enjoy her waggly tail and smiley face
