| Sad Update to Lucy's Condition First, I want to say thank you for posting your thoughts on Lucy. We appreciate them very much. (see my original post at http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sic...ephalitis.html ) Second, after returning from OSU the first time, Lucy showed remarkable progress in 2 short weeks. We took her back up for a follow-up 2 1/2 weeks after being seen. She amazed the Dr's and staff. But upon our return home she started to slip back each day. We changed medications based on the Dr's recommendation but she continued to decline. I'll spare you the details but will say that due to the rapid and steady decline in her condition we had her euthanized tonite. It was tremendously hard for us to come to this decision but we had to base it on her quality of life and not our personal feelings (which have and still are running the spectrum). It was hard to say goodbye to such a small thing even though she was with us only 3 months. There is no rhyme or reason why she contracted this fatal disease and had to put up with so much suffering in her short 2 year life. We will miss her a great deal. Lucy's Dad |

| I'm so very sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. R.I.P. little Lucy. I just re-read your original thread, and I wanted to say thank you so much for rescuing this baby and giving her a wonderful loving home in her last days. I know she was much comforted by you and your family. Bless you.

| Sorry to hear of your lose. I know it is VERY hard thing to do. Several years ago I had to make that decission about a mini schnauzer I had. It was tough but I had to do it for his sake not mine, I didn't want to see him suffer any longer then he had to. You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Angie

| I haven't posted before now because, well, quite frankly I didn't know what to say. Now I find myself in tears hoping that you will find peace and take comfort in knowing that Lucy had some wonderful times with that she would not have had otherwise. I'm so sorry you had to let her go. God bless you for taking her in. |
