OH I am glad you got to see him and even though he couldn't show it, inside I bet he was soo excited to hear your voice! We will keep praying for him
BIG HUGS AND KISSES to Joey from Bella

Just want you to know that your Joey is in my prayers and thoughts. I pray he gets better soon.

whispersmom2 · 06-21-2005, 04:51 PM

Thanx for your update. I am glad the vet is getting ready to tube feed him. I cannot tell you how many babies have been saved by their breeders tube-feeding them. Most long-time breeders have had to save a litter because of the mother's inability to feed them properly...Just keep having faith even though it is so hard to see your baby and not be able to help him. He is where he needs to be right now and more prayers are being sent your way..Bless all of you.

Joey is in my prayers. Get well soon

Joey is breathing on his own, and he is in a little incubator. We were able to stick our hands through the incubator's door and pet him and I told him how much Mommy and Daddy love him. He wagged his tail and tried to stand, but he is so weak and he laid back down quicky. The vet emergency unit (a team of 5+ doctors who make the rounds 24/7) said that they are very impressed with how he has responded to his medicine, and that they think that Joey might be able to come home on Wednesday!!!!!!! He, of course, will be confined to his crate and except for peeing and eating, he will have to remain in his crate....oh, everyone....I feel like Joey has pulled through a miracle...there is still a chance that he might not pull through, but it sure seems that he is over the hump.

PLEASE keep your prayers coming - your prayers have HELPED so much!!!!! Please keep praying for little Jeoy - Joey needs your love so much. Thank you for caring so much.

Alicia and Joey

I am so happy for you. Go Joey Go!!!

This breaks my heart and makes me so happy for you at the same time. Romeo sits with me as I say a prayer in the evenings for you and your little one.

bettyeanne · 06-21-2005, 05:55 PM

I am so glad you were able to visit and touch little Joey, even though you couldn't hold him! Perhaps tomorrow! Meantime, sounds like you have some excellent vets and I am certain that he will continue to improve with their care. We will keep you all in our prayers and wait for more good news!

Hi Alicia and Joey! I just read through this and I am so sorry! I will pray extra hard to make up for the days I missed! We all send you and Joey tons of love, thoughts, wishes, prayers, and encouragement! Kimberly, Simon and Hallie

I am sure this is so hard for you....it does sound like little Joey is getting a little better each day. Soon enough he will be home in your arms.
Tini and I are saying lots of prayers that he will be home very soon.
Love and Hugs!

Puppyperson · 06-21-2005, 08:23 PM

I just logged on a read this thread. Joey seems like one tough pup. I am so happy that he is doing better. My thoughts and prayers are being sent Joey's way.

Shanatink · 06-21-2005, 08:40 PM

I keep checking on this thread to see your updates. I too am getting impatient. I want him to get well and be able to go home. I know how awful being at the vet is and how awful it is to be away from your pet. I will continue to pray for him.

johnsae · 06-22-2005, 03:51 AM

Thank you again everyone. Jeremy (Joey's Daddy) and I will hopefully get to hold him today. He has a feeding tube down his nose, so I am waiting to hear how that is going. I hope he is taking to it ok - the doctors were very concerned that he wasn't eating, so the fact that he is getting some nutrition (even if it is through a feeding tube) makes me happy.

I'll write in a few hours with updates.

red98vett · 06-22-2005, 04:04 AM

It's awesome he's made it this far and a good sign I hope ? I check in on your baby every few hours - I really am pulling for him as is everyone here - Good luck !
