Re: Devastating News About My Lovely Sadie
I really am so grateful to you all for your support.The vet has put her on steroids for an initial period of five days, to see if we can jump start her appetite a bit. She is very fussy (but then again, on the QT, she always has been!). She has been on them for two days now, and they do actually seem to have had some effect, so I have to let vet know. He may put her on them permanently if they make her feel better. I know steroids can be harmful, but in her case that really isn't an issue, and if they make her feel good, well, why not?

My thoughts entirely Merz.As far as I am concerned, she can have anything at all if it helps her, even when it comes to food. She has even had some wet cat food, just to keep her eating. As the Vet says, anything is better than nothing.

Re: Devastating News About My Lovely Sadie
Hi there,We sort of know what you are going through. One of our girls Molly, has developed Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) and the vet told us that it is fatal. After some tests, she phoned and said that Molly only had 2 days to live.
This was 10 days ago and I'm just back from taking Molly and her sister a walk. There is no doubt she is very poorly and we are not out of the woods by any means.
When we were told the news, we immediately scoured the internet to see if anyone has the same problem and how they dealt with it.
I suggest you do the same, there are many doggie forums out there which have many members and are more than willing to help.
If you feel there is nothing you can do medically, see if you can find someone who has gone through the same thing. A problem shared is a problem halved.
The only thing I can suggest is that you make Sadie's time as comfy as possible. Give her lots of cuddles and all the things she likes.
I hope this helps a little bit. We are sending positive thoughts for Sadie.
