UPDATE ON SISTERS DOG

Well I just received another call :  Its been confirmed - Scruffy has Cancer again:
please keep them in your prayers ;  they have a very big decision facing them :

not to mention that my brother in laws father is in the hospital for at least 10 days -
and his mother has a broken foot -  He is staying with her and said he got about
1 hour sleep last night -    I would not like to be in their place right now -

I am going to go over tonight and try and calm my sister down :  she is a basket case
and my niece is naturally right there with her.

 

No, poor Scruffy!!!!  So.....what course of treatment are they suggesting?  And more importantly, will said treatment cause more pain for Scruffy or give the puppy a comfortable life?

This week just sucks more the longer it gets.

Hugs to your sister and niece!!

The vet says there is one more treatment they can try :  but not starting for 2 weeks:
Julie, Brad and Jessie have that long to decide what to do.

I need to get over there:  Brad isn't home -  that is right I said that before:  and Julie quite
frankly sounds like hell.  Jessica is taking pictures of Scruffy for a scrapbook.

sending good thoughts!

{{{{HUGS}}}}

Awwwww that's so sad.  *hugs* to you and the family and gentle smooches to Scruffy!

Oh that is so sad about Scruffy having Cancer. Your poor sister and niece. I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,

Thanks to all of you :  Julie was a bit calmer when I saw her but both she and Jessie
had tears welling at dinner:  Julie said the vet has one other form of chemo they can try:
much stronger meds and she may not tolerate it well.  Julie said they are going to
try one treatment and see how she does with it.  Its so sad:  Scruffy is only 7
and does not seem to be in pain at all: Julie said shes acting like nothing is wrong:
Running around playing and dancing on her rear legs while she is getting dinner ready.

I gently suggested not doing anymore chemo but she looked at me with tears in her
eyes and said "What if it were Cuddles?"  I had no answer.

Again thanks everyone - I'll forward Julie a link so she can see this.

Darla, so sorry about the dog. Its so hard since all of our pets are like our children. I hope for the best and wish your sis and family well. I hope you can calm your sis down as I am sure I would be a basket case too.. I wish all involved peace and I am sending prayers their way...Good luck..
