shekhina Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thank you everyone for your thoughts. Jaida went very peacefully, it really is like they're just falling asleep. The last thing she did was give me a kiss as if to say it was all OK and she was just fine, and then she went to sleep. RIP Jaida, my sweet and beautiful girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucknow Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Crring now and I never knew Jaida. Rest easy Shekhina, you made the ultimate sacrifice allowing her to go with dignity and grace. I am sure she will be happy and patient waiting for you. this is a poem that was a part of my mothers funeral service that always summed my feelings of the death of a loved one up for me at least. We still love her We still care We still whisper her name in our prayers She is not gone Or part of the past she is still with us As long as we last those we love still walk beside us every day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Shek, the last and most important thing you could do for Jaida - and the one which shows your love for her. One we will all have to face, and I hope I face it with as much humanity and courage as you have demonstrated. She knows, and is happy. Go joyfully over the bridge, small doggy spirit.

cavNrott Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Thanks for asking Kiash, now I can pass on the news. I didn't post about Sophie because I thought it might be disrespectful to Shek and Jaida in the midst of the condolences. Sophie did quite well. Well enough that the oncolgist decided there was no urgency for the ultrasound and there's no change in her medication. Her FBE was fine and a specimen has been sent for detailed analysis of her liver which seems to have improved on the natural meds she's had for 3 weeks. The results of her liver test will be available next week so we'll go from there. If it's not looking good we'll reschedule the ultrasound. I had a lump on her rib aspirated. It was just a lipoma. Until the liver test results are in I would say all is well. The tumour in her mouth is still growing which concerns me a lot. She feels well, has a good appetite, playful, but she has less energy. She's also putting on weight on the cancer starving diet. She has no carbs, grains or sugars, only fatty meat and protein, all her food is organic. Cancer can't utilise fat it needs carbs to thrive. For the first time in her life she looks a bit porky. Her normal weight is 42kg. She's now 46.8kg. She doesn't look like my sleek, muscular girl now. She looks rather matronly. Considering Sophie's prognosis was so poor that they thought she would be gone by mid January, the vet and oncologist are happy with her progress. Her drug protocol is a new trial. They asked me at the start if I would be willing to have Sophie trial this new regime. I agreed, we had nothing to lose. Due to her excellent response they started another dog last week on the trial. The oncology has given us so many special days together. Every extra day we have is bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyhldher Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Nice that there's some good news amid the bad...keep it up Sophie and Anne! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 CavNrott, that is such good news, who cares if she looks matronly, so long as she is well in herself. I found out yesterday exactly what Ash's mother died of. Liver cancer at the age of 9. I have Ash on Milk Thistle Weed Tea and have had him on this for a while. It is a mild liver cleanser and tonic. I do have him senior blood tested every six months so fingers crossed I have every base covered. I have not heard of many with the cancer that Sophie has, I mean where she has it. I am sure that Sophie will go on for quite a while yet and although I do not regularly post in here, I do read and wish for a positive outcome. Sometimes I dread opening up this forum for fear of what is posted. So please give my granddaughter a kiss and hug from me and tell her we are rooting for her.

Staffyluv Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Glad to hear some good news for Sophie... The drugs will make her gain weight as well as the change in diet and exercise - you do eventually learn to live with people passing comments on that fact that your dog needs to go on a diet (we have)... Give her a hug for me Jodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 She doesn't look too porky yet Jodie but due to her knee surgeries I've always kept her very slim. She looks quiet nice with the extra weight. We'll both be happier when she can go for walks. Kiash, Sophie takes Milk Thistle tablets. The onco suggested them 3 weeks ago when the liver issue surfaced. I hope they're doing the job. We'll know when the results are in, probably on Tuesday. It is unusual for osteosarcoma to occur in the mandible but not unheard of. It's not painful for Sophie to run around like is it when it's in the limbs, it's the eating that causes problems. She's easy to spoon feed though and has a good appetite. It's getting difficult to give her the tablets. She's totally over them. She used to take them from my hand when I said 'eat it'. Then I rolled minced meat around them. Today she's eating the mince and spits out the tablet. I've spent 1/2 an hour trying to hide two tablets in cheese, mince, etc., She took them eventually. She has another 6 tablets to take with her dinner and I'm not looking forward to it. I can't mess with her mouth, it's too painful for her. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Hugs and kisses have been given and thanks for sending her your well wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
