My mom's baby Emily

[Frzframe]

is very very sick. I got a call early this morning from my mom saying that Emily was weak, she was walking very stiff legged and breathing rapidly. When I got to the house Em was at her food bowl so I went and put Charlie in the x-pen and in that 30 secs Emily was by the back door having a seizure. She's very dehydrated so the vet is giving her fluids and he thinks it might be her kidneys so we are waiting to see what her blood work shows up. This is very hard on us so if you could send a little Lhasa girl (she's 14) some rayz we'd really a appreciate it.

[catstamm]

Oh poor babie :hearts: :hearts: sending lots of :bigrayz: emilys way. I have never heard of kidney problems causing siezures....but, hopefully you'll find out soon and she'll be fine .... Thinking of you

[Bella's Mom]

Poor baby... Lots of :bigrayz: :bigrayz: coming her way.

[Frzframe]

her kidneys are okay, she was very dehydrated and is still on a IV her blood work came back that her red blood cell count is low. She had a very high fever 107 when she first got to the vet so maybe that is why she was having seizures. She doesn't have any tumors so the vet thinks it might be a virus or her bone marrow causing her to bleed internally (I think this is what my mom said). We are going to see her as soon as I can leave work. She hasn't had any more seizures while at the vets office. He is going to repeat the blood work again to double check her red blood cell count again.

[Yolanda]

Oh my Oh my, I was hoping for a lot better report. Lots more :bigrayz: :bigrayz: and :pray: :pray: :pray:

[areese]

:bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for poor miss Emily!

[samandissy]

:bigrayz: :pray:

[Patt]

Poor baby, I hope the second blood work shows improvement. :pray:
Lots of fell better :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for Emily.

[Frzframe]

Emily is doing better and her blood work is looking better too. Her red blood cell count is still low but it is better. She is staying over night to continue with the IV and if everything goes well and she eats and drinks on her own she could be home tomorrow. She might have an something wrong with in immune system attacking itself but if that is the case then it can be controled with steroids. She looked so much better when we visited her.

On a side note my dad is a truck driver and when my mom called to tell him that we had to rush Emmy to the vet he told her he could be home in two hours all he had to do is call his dispatch. That made my mom cry even more of course. She's daddy little girl, his yard dog as he calls her. :)

[oceangirls]

That might be what the vet is considering. I had a cocker spaniel who had it. Steroids do help quite a bit; sometimes they also remove the spleen because it is a major source of red cell breakdown (and not a particularly necessary organ).

sending more rayz; I am glad she is doing better. Tell your parents we are thinking of them :rayz::rayz::rayz::bigrayz:

[Patt]

:thanx: for letting us know what's happening. Sending :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: to Emmy I hope she gains more strength as the days pass by. :pray: :pray: Your dad and mom are very loving guardians, Emmy is a lucky little girl.

[Frzframe]

Well we thought Em was going to get to come home today. Her vet was very pleased with her progess. She was up walking this am but she isn't eating so he wanted to have her come home to see if my mom could get her to eat. This is not new for her though not to eat. BUT, my mom just called and Em took a turn for the worse. The vet thinks she might of had a stroke or another seizure.

[lotsadox]

I'm so sorry Shonda. :sosad: Keep us posted. Sending more rayz. :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz:

[Jen]

Oh no, that's not the update I was hoping for!!! I'm so sorry Shonda! More :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for Emily!!

[Nancy]

I'm so sorry Shonda! Sending some healing :bigrayz: 's for the furbaby!

big :hug99: 's for you and the family!

[Patt]

Oh Shonda, I am so sorry. Sending magical DLC :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for Emily I hope she will be okay. :pray: :pray:

[Frzframe]

We aren't sure what is going on with Em. The vet is :scratch: because she was doing so well and now ...

I went out and got her to take her home so she could be with mom tonight. If she makes it though the night then she'll go back to the vet's in the am. Basically it gives us time to say our goodbyes to her unless something changes quick. She is resting and does drink water from a syringe when it's offered.

Thanks for all your well wishes it means alot.

[Patt]

Shonda you and your family especially Em are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. :hearts: :hug99: :hearts: :hug99: :hearts:

[Pokeys Mom]

Shonda, you, Em and your family are in my prayers tonight!! :pray: Lord knows I'll be up for a long time, so I'll be sure to keep sending them up!

My mom stayed up all night with her giving her water and some hi calorie paste the vet gave us. After she drank 27 cc's of water she vomited. I went back over this morning after Mitzi's yearly check up and she was sleeping soundly. My mom had to go pick up my dad and right before she left Emily wanted up, so we put her on the floor and she walked around some then pottied and then had some nasty poo. She then vomited again so we cleaned her up and mom went to get dad.

So while I was with her she was real restless. I put her on the floor and she pottied then she walked into the kitchen looking for her water bowl. She actually drank on her own but she didn't want any food.

She then was still very restless so I put her on my lap and she fell right to sleep. When mom and dad got home dad thought she was doing awful and that she wasn't walking very well. Heck mom and I thought she was doing 100% better. What he doesn't understand is that she is standing, looking around, walking and wanting comfort. So they took her to the vet and the vet agreed that she is doing much better then anyone thought she would. Mom was ready to let her go but after seeing her this afternoon she can't just yet. They are going to see how she does the over the next 12 hours and then go from there.

[K2]

Thanks for the update. Sending some more :bigrayz: :bigrayz: and :pray: :pray: for everyone!

[Mama S.]

I'm a few days behind on posts - I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. I will be sending special magical :bigrayz: for Emily and will keep your family in my :pray:
Mama

Emily was laid to rest this morning after my parents said their goodbyes. My dad was with her until the end and brought her home. He had a really hard time burying her. He chose a spot in the yard between the bird bath and the fish ponds. He faced her towards the house, laid her on a pillow (he couldn't bare to put her in a box) then he didn't want dirt to get in her eyes so they place a blanket over her. He wanted his "yard bubby" close by him while he works in the yard. It was one of the hardest things he's had to do and is taking it very hard.

Mama

[areese]

I am so so so sorry. Please give our condolances to your parents. Emily was obviously a wonderful and well-loved girl. I know you will all miss her so much....

[alfina]

I am so sorry about their loss. Big hug for your parents. We lost our sweet Rumble 5 months ago and it is very very hard.

[HotDogMama]

Oh Shonda, I am very sorry for you and your parents loss, she was a total doll, and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers! :hug99:

[Patt]

I am sorry to hear of Em's passing. I will keep you, your mom and dad in my thoughts and prayers. I have lit a :candle3: to honor and celebrate Emily's life here and the love and devotion you all shared. :pray:

[samandissy]

I am so sorry about Emily. Thank you to you and your parents for giving her a loving home all her life. It is always hard to say goodbye. Prayers for your hearts to heal quickly. Susie

[Chris]

I was hoping when i saw an update on this thread that the news would be different.

I am so, so sorry. I know what it is like to lose a dog...it rips you in two. E Please take care of yourselves and feel proud that little Emily was extremely loved for while she was with you.

[Bella's Mom]

Shonda,

I'm so sorry to hear Emily has passed on. I can't imagine the pain the family feels right now. Think of all the happy times you had with her and hopefully in time there will be more smiles than tears. Big hugs to you and your family. :hug99:

[duchiesmom]

Oh Shonda- I am so sorry- just found this thread and bawled like a baby. My heart is with you and your mom and dad. She sure was a sweet girl and it is easy to tell she was very very loved.

[Frzframe]

It is still very hard for both my mom and dad. They have Charlie my 9 year old foster boy with them while he is recouperating from his dental and that has helped a lot.

[Michelle]

Shonda, I am so so sorry about your parents loss of little Emily,, at least Charlie is there to keep them company and help them through this difficult time :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

[Jen]

My deepest sympathy to you and your parents on the loss of sweet Emily. I know each day will be hard for them, and I'm so glad that they'll have Charlie to keep them company for awhile and help them to deal with their loss. :hug99:

[oceangirls]

I missed the update! (maybe we should call it a downdate :( )

I'm so sorry - my condolences to your Mom and Dad. :hug99:
I lost 2 little ones this time of year (Tristan 3 years ago and Mom's and my Amber last year). Mom was talking about missing Amber when I spoke with her today.

I'm glad your parents have Charlie to hug at this very difficult time.

[lotsadox]

I missed it, too. I"m so sorry. :sosorry: It must be the time of year. I lost Pebbles on Mar 4th 2000 and CC or May 5th of the same year. My condolences to your parents. It does help to have another one in the house. It doesn't seem so empty that way.
