Thank you Carol...I'm not sure how my husband found this forum but I am grateful he did. Actually I think we were looking for answers to Gizzy's degenerative disc thingy. Meds were complicated with his irritable bowel syndrome. All of this makes it sound as though he is a feeble yorkie which is not the case. He has always been a fighter and as my vet reminded me today, has fought back through many illnesses to stay with me as long as he has. He was fine and playing just days ago and this came on from the Temiral-P I think. He had kidney problems before with other steroidal meds for the degenerative disc disease. If he pulls through this we will have to find other treatments for the disc problem. Strange how something like the internet can bring people together and give some comfort even if it is while I am typing this...there is a chasm in my heart aching for Gizmo to rally once more so he can live with me until he can go peacefully in his sleep lying next to me some night. Preferrably later rather than sooner....They are amazing aren't they? Incredible little gifts from God, the Universe, Heaven, or whomever/whatever your beliefs may be...why is the time together so short....I have some regrets...things I did wrong...things he overcame...I pray he can just overcome once more and we can play & love just a bit longer.... |
