my parents' dog is in trouble..

Tink · 26-09-2008, 04:08 AM

they say they came home and their seven year old bichon frise, tessie, was showing labored breathing. they rushed her to her regular veterinarian and after some xrays say that her heart is enlarged and the liver is enlarged to the point of taking up her whole abdomen. at this point they are just trying to get her stabilized inside an oxygen tank with an IV. they close in an hour and my parents are collaborating with the doctor to decide where she should spend the night (at her vet alone but on oxygen, at my parents house with my parents taking shifts watching her but the ER is an hour away, or at the ER where she would only be watched for eight hours and they would charge one thousand dollars). either way, the doctor says she has to be back by seven am to continue treatment. my mom is going to call to keep me posted and for support throughout the night.
she'd probably really appreciate good thoughts/prayers/vibes.
it has been crazy with everyone around here lately and now my mom is having issues too with one of her animals..i am hoping this is not a trend.

Oh Tink! I hope your parents were able to find a solution for her overnight. Will be thinking of you all, praying that the little one pulls through.

Poor Tessie

..... lots of comforting and healing vibes to her and your family, Tink. I hope they can do something for her.

Fingers crossed she's OK and pulls through.

Oh I'm sorry Tink. Sometimes, however hard we try and whatever we do makes no difference

Hugs to you all.

Oh Tink, I'm sorry for your loss.
RIP Tessie.
