| I Need Comfort! You may or May not know I had posted that my girl Ruby started her heat early December and still spotting and swollen. I took her to her regular vet and they did some test to rule out a uterine infection and thank God it came out negative. Well this vet (my regular vet ) said he had seen some that lasted a long time but that it wasn't normal. Today I took her to another vet and they did a bunch of test also to rule out pyometra (uterine infection) they also ccame back negative. I felt good because this vet seemed better than mine and I was really please with thier work. They said they would call me back tommorrow and let me know the results of another test they had done today. The vet told me that my girl might have to be treated with hormones or just have to be spayed. I really wanted puppies but the heck I can totally give that up for the wellbeing of my girl. This is breaking my heart that she and I are going through this. She is fine, playing, eating, drinking barkingetc... Now I gave her her regular tummy rubs that she loves and noticed that it is a bit purple around three of her mamary glands. This means I am going to the vet tommorrow Again. Today I spent $400 and in the past about $4000 since the first day I got her.I am in credit card debt and this is sincking mein more which doesn't matter to me but know the financial part hurts a bit to. I will spend anything it takes to get this overwith. I am currently going through a depression and on meds for this believe me bad Ihad lost 20lbs in 1 week. I fear the worst. If I loose my girl I would totally crash again and then I don't even think meds could help me cope with a huge loss like this. I would hate to have to post in the In Memmory Of Section. Just keeps us in your thought. I love my girl and even though I have never been told this is life threaning I am really scared and just can't imagine living without her. Really no one in my house hold has a clue as to how much this girl means to me. I am sad but have to try to keep cool as if I get really depressed again my health would be at risk. Sorry for the long post but I just had to let all this out. |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | You are both in my prayers! I know how hard it is when they are sick or just something isn't right. Cali just went through a Liver Shunt scare and I didn't know how I would cope with her loss. That's what so great about YT everyone on here understands how much we love these little babies. Please keep us posted and know that YT prayers are the best! I am sure you will get to the bottom of this and that will eae your mind.

| Sometimes I think reading all the stuff on this board can make us worry so much more. When I got my girl I never considered that she would ever have health problems but now that I know about all this stuff I am a total nervous wreck sometimes too. Please don't stress. You are a long way from losing your girl. It does sound hormonal. The discoloration is probably related to the heat and not anything terrible. Just think positively and try to remain calm. I think I would wait for the results of the other test before rushing her back to the vet again and incurring more charges. Do you know what the other test was looking for?

| Please try not to stress. I am sure everything is fine with Little Ruby. It's hard not to worry about someone you love but try and be strong. Hugs for both of you.

Oh Hon...take a DEEP breath....the Vet's have NOT told you this is life threatening....your furbaby is going to be JUST fine...you have good vet care...medicines if need be...and worst case scenario...a spaying...which THOUSANDS of dogs have every year with NO problem. So you concentrate on keeping yourself healthy....say a little prayer...and keep really POSITIVE! Francie P.S. Don't worry about the money..it will ALL get paid off in time...it just might take a little longer...shrug....they'll wait.... | |

| I'm really soory you have had such a hard time with this. Hang in there, Ruby will get past this. She's playing, so she's not in pain. The Vet will do whats best for her. Please keep positive thoughts!!! This is one thing I love about this site, we are always here for eachother. In a way I feel like I'm one of Rubys Aunts. You need to stay healthy!!! We will all keep you both in our Thoughts and Prayers.

| I know from experience that when you are depressed and something, even something small happens to your little one you get sucked in a little bit deeper. I too was in debt (filled bankrupt at the age of 25) and depressed. Look to your little one as your saving grace. You have to be happy so that she will be happy too. I talked to Gracie about my feelings, kind of like therapy. She listened, never judged me. She gave me love even when I felt I was not deserving. I got threw it and so will you. I got off of medication and decided to heal myself. I got up every morning and told myself that even if I feel like no one loves me, my puppy does, and that counts! Get up, no matter how badly you don't want to, and do things with Ruby. She needs you! She will be ok, listen to your fellow YT's they know! We are all here for you and for Ruby! I will pray for you and Ruby.
