Kaz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 So sorry to hear about Keisha, Bluepoppy. It really does sound like the time had come and it is wonderful that you had the strength to do what you had to do for Keisha's sake. Keisha is running free from pain because you were able to accept for yourself the pain of saying goodbye. I'm not crying for Keisha now, but for you Damn mascara.

Vonasche Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Bluepoppy, From Kiesha to you. Mum, I am looking down on you, and I see your tears. Please don't be too sad Mum, I will be happy here. It is wonderful here Mum. There is soft grass - lots of it! Perfect for running and rolling in. There are streams with flowing water to frollick in - and no drought up here Mum. They tell me the Sun always shines here too. There are so many new friends for me here Mum. I haven't had a look around everywhere yet Mum, but it sure is heaven! There is lots of good food and heaps of toys to share with all my new friends. Gosh Mum, you sent me to the bestest place. I feel so good - I am not sick anymore. My head no longer hurts, I am light on my feet and everything is so clear now. I miss you already Mum, I will miss you everyday. When I see that you are sad Mum, I will send down a sunbeam to you. I'll keep watch over you and Dad and that troublesome brother of mine. I am never far away, even though you cannot see me. I've got lots of living to do here Mum - until you get here - then our journey can continue on together. Love from your special girl Kiesha xxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks everyone for your wishes and very kind thoughts for Kiesha and our family.Unfortunately Jeff and I made the hardest decision of our life last night and Kiesha is now running free of pain, Laid to rest at 3am. I made a promise to her that when she had too much pain and wouldn't eat and didn't have quality then we would let her go. She didn't improve last night and lost all her senses and it wasn't fair on her. I have dreaded coming in here this morning as i knew that you would all be wondering but i knew i had to let you know as you have all been such a fantastic support over the last 2 months and i can't thank you enough. Most of you i have not even met and you have been a tower of strength to me and all our family, providing information and tips it really has meant alot. RIP Kiesha (Ammerzen Jayzen Kiah) 25/09/2001 - 05/02/2008 Never Forgotten Oh Danni! I am so sorry that Keishas time came so soon. RIP Gorgeous Girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chell Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 CavNrott I read that Sophie has some gastric bleeding, have you considered adding some Zantac (ranitidine) to her regiment. I suggest it because when Artan was very sick some time back with a nasty gastric bug and was on nothing but an IV for days his gastric lining became extremely eroded and he was vomitting blood even after he came home and this nearly caused him to go back into the vet hospital but with approval of my vets I gave him zantac AND slippery elm and this worked wonders. It is available over the counter at your chemists and is safe for dogs (many studies have been done on its effectiveness and safeness for animals) and this may help your girl if it is not contraindicated with her current meds.

rakaaz Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Bluepoppy I'm so very sorry about Keisha, you very definitely did the right thing for her. How lucky she was to have had her life with you. I don't know what else I can say except big hugs to you, Jeff & Diesel. May she rest in peace, I will light a candle for her tonight.

cavNrott Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 How are you CnR? The news of Kiesha must be also hitting you hard, considering your circumstances with Sophie. You and Sophie are still very much in my thoughts Yes it has given me a huge reality hit. BP and I were talking this morning about 4.30am so I knew Kiesha's journey with BP and Jeff had come to an end. I made a few decisions after talking to BP. I know a turn for the worse usually happens suddenly yet I was shocked at how suddenly it came on for Kiesha. I've been wrapping Sophie in cotton wool and not daring to walk her off my property for fear she might pick up a bug. I thought about BP taking Kiesha to the beach to have fun and realised that having fun is a big part of quality of life. I took Sophie out for a walk at 5am, she was so happy to be out and about for the first time in a month. She ran and sniffed, rolled and piddled and was totally happy. She loved being out, she inspected every plant, shrub and fence post. She was happier than I've seen her for weeks. In my effort to protect her I was depriving her of her joy of life. The life she has always known. I can't protect her from her disease or make it go away. Pain free isn't enough, she needs more than that from me. She needs to have fun while she can still enjoy running and sniffing, rolling in the grass. Sophie is a great roller, she rolled in every patch of green grass and the look of joy on her face was priceless. This is quality of life. I've been going on about quality and haven't been providing that for her. I've been so obsessed with keeping her pain free that I lost sight of the other things she needs. I learnt a hard lesson early this morning about taking things one day at a time. Today is really all we have. I'll do what it takes to make sure Sophie is pain free but she needs to enjoy the time she has left and have fun. Sophie and I thank you Kiesha for teaching me a lesson. My thoughts are with you BP and Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marapana Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yes i totally agree with you cnr, it has to be about the quality as well. If that means taking her for a walk and watching the joy on her face then it is worth it. We control our furkids and so therefore we have to decide what is best for them, i guess we all have to put ourselves in there shoes and ask ourselves, would i still go for a romp and a play or have a game with our humans even if it means we might not be in the best of health. I can bet they would answer yes everytime. Thinking of all the not so well Rotties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiahzen Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 cavNrott.. It brought a big smile to my face hearing that Sophie went out for a walk and was happy. Don't regret trying to do what you thought was right as there was nothing wrong with the care that you have provided. You want the best for Sophie and she may not have gone for a walk but she sure had a lot of love and care and that is the main thing The walk out is just a bonus for her and i'm so very happy to hear that she enjoyed her time out. Please keep up courage and keep fighting this with Sophie I am here for you both and hope that she has more time to enjoy walks and rolling in the grass. Zed & Q I also hope that you are doing ok as i know how sick poor Zed is and i just hope that he can make it to his Birthday Thank you to everyone for all your messages, pm's and your kind words it is getting me through this day and i'm sure it will help me through the days to come.

wolfgirl Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Any updates on how our sick puppies ??Wolfgirl, any results yet on Pearl? I was just coming in to update, we only got home about 40 mins ago so it was mad feeding time at the zoo. Thank you all the well wishes, just wish the news was better. We saw the specialist and it is a bit inconclusive but she said in all honesty she didn't feel the prognosis was good After lots of tests she feels she has Hyperviscoscity and we will need to do an MRI to get a final diagnosis whether it be brain tumor or brain inflamation causing this. I have just got off the phone to my vet and we will be organising this tomorrow she will need to go to Werribee University for a preconsultation then I will have to drop her off one morning we think at this stage next week and she will come home the next morning so I won't be able to stay with her the way she is atm I am so worried about her stressing as she won't let me out of her sight. I have decided to increase the natural alternatives for the time being and my vet says he feels she has a fighting chance so I just have to believe him, she is due for her vaccs but isn't allowed to have them before the MRI or the possible reaction if it is brain inflamation so I will have to be careful where I take her. Was hoping for a better prognosis but we ain't giving up yet either. Hope all the other sick dogs have had a good day today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
