Callie prayers Well I need prayers for Callie. While she is still bright and alert and moving around she is not eating much. I have tried chicken, beef and her dog food and she just picks at it. She has had one of the apatite stimulants from when she was sick before and it did nothing. I’m going to try the other one tomorrow. She will not eat her senior vitamin, it’s hard to get her to take her joint supplement and her medicine and she is not wanting treats sometimes. I had taken her off of CBD oil when she had her liver infection because it can increase liver enzymes but I think I’m going to put her back on it to see if it will help. Her weight is still dropping and we are moving closer to 13 pounds. She has significant muscle atrophy. There really isn’t much that can be done. I’m keeping her as comfortable as possible and we will go from there. I do think we are nearing the end but I’m just not sure. Her 13th birthday is in May. You know that when you get them that they won’t live forever but when you start reaching that time and decision it gets harder. I will never let her suffer. Prayers are just very needed right now. Even writing this is making me want to throw up. |
Poor Callie and poor You. We really hurt when our babies aren't doing well. Prayers for both of you. |
Oh, praying for little Callie and for your peace. I know you will always do what is right for her - she's your baby and at this point, try what you think might work. Hugs - |
You are both in our prayers |
Prayers going out for Callie and you, HUGS :love: |
I am so sorry for you both! Having just recently traveled this path with our little Beau, I absolutely relate with the feeling of being willing to try every single thing that could possibly help...then feeling so totally defeated when it doesn't. My thoughts are with you both during this painful time. (((hugs))) |
Prayers and I am so sorry. |
So sad to hear this. Praying for you both. |
You are such a great mom to Callie and your other babies. I pray that Callie gets better . Susan |
Sorry to hear this. Wishing you both the best. |
Taylor, I'm thinking of you and your dear Callie and sending up prayers for her to improve and that whatever time she has left will be comfortable and filled with opportunities to make happy memories. (((((Huge hugs))))))) Jenna's birthday is also in May. She will be 12. It is so very hard to watch them age. I cannot imagine my life without her. I'm sure you feel the same. It's not a bit fair that they don't have longer to be with us. :( Please keep us posted on her progress. Give her a special snuggle from me. :love: |
Thank you so much everyone. We started CBD oil this morning and Callie has eaten a lot of chicken! She also is hanging out with us more and trying to get into what we are doing! I’m very happy it is helping! |

Great to hear she’s improving! |
Great news! Hope she keeps getting better and better and her liver function stays normal or close to it. |
Callie So thankful for that good news! Prayers for continued health for sweet Callie! |
Hi I'm sending good well wishes to Callie. I hope she's feeling better today and as each days goes by. You are a great Mom! Take care. |
I would love to give a great good update but that’s not really the case. The veterinarian has given me a different apatite stimulant. Her weight is still dropping. Essentially she is wasting away in front of me and there is nothing that can be done. We are keeping her comfortable. She is still very happy an active so we are just taking it day by day. Thank you for the prayers. Having a hard time dealing with this on top of about a million other things. I broke down yesterday and hopefully I can hang on a little longer before breaking down again. |
As you know, we went through this with our Beau a little while ago. It was SO hard, because he was the happiest little man on earth. Until the end he wagged his tail and kissed everyone he met. He stopped eating, and fell just below 4 pounds (at his highest, he was just below 6 pounds). He let us know that it was time when he did not greet our next door neighbor who had come to see him, and he turned his head away from a kiss. We could have kept him with us a little longer I believe, but he made it very clear to us that he was ready to leave. I am so sorry that you are in this pain! Trust yourself to know when it is kinder to let sweet Callie cross the rainbow bridge, and look for support from your family and your vet. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk/vent... (((hugs))) |
Thinking of you and Callie. My heart goes out to you both. |
Taylor, I am so sorry to read this, you will know what to do if it comes to that, if your vet has not told you "its time", then it isn't. Keeping both you and Callie in my prayers (((hugs))) |

Nothing worse than watching your little one getting worse. Went through this with my little Jilly after she became gravely symptomatic with horrible GI symptoms for about 8 mos. or so of her little life and so many times thought she would have to be euthanized, especially after the vet began using terms like "quality of life", etc. It was one of the worst times of my life. Couldn't stand to see her suffer and lose weight down to under 2 pounds when the most she ever weighed was slightly over 3 lbs. It's all about them and giving them what's best for them in the long run, no matter what it takes, even if it's the most painful of decisions. Thankfully Jilly was still young at the time and I had time to work it all out, find a way she could live a fairly normal, happy life. Hope somehow this can work out and you can find some answers for Callie. Have you gotten 2nd, 3rd opinions from different vets lately? |

so sad and sorry I am so sad for you, as I have recently gone through this with our little Graysee. She did so poorly up until the 1st of the year, then suddenly a reprieve, and she perked up and started eating. But, the signs were there, and she continued to waste away, with her ribs, hips, and backbone becoming more and more pronounced as her muscle mass deteriorated. Her final 12 hours were so traumatic for us, and I still weep for her! Knowing that she is with God, her creator, gives me some peace, along with the knowledge that I'll see her again, someday. My prayers are with you, as this is such a terrible time! |
It is so hard to watch them age, knowing your time is coming to an end. I am so sorry Taylor .... all I can say is Callie has had a wonderful life and will continue to do so until that day comes. I know you are enjoying her and her you.. Prayers for you all. |
Still thinking of you and Callie and continuing to lift prayers for you both. ((((((Huge hugs))))) :love: |
