| Desperate for Prayers My precious Julio (6 mos) had severe hypoglycemia and is now in a coma. His red blood cell count is higher than they've ever seen. His blood is like sludge. He was fine when he woke up and went downhill. He is at VRCC in Denver. Please stop to pray. I can't bear this. |

| Thx, everyone. Julio has a congenital heart condition called reverse PDA. His heart doesn't pump correctly and backs up causing sludge. There is a medication that can control it but the disease shortens his life span to 2 to 5 yrs. limited activity. Oh, how he loves to play. I don't know what to do. I have fallen so deeply in love in just three months, but will it be unbearably stressful having a dog you know doesn't have much time - knowing I'm going to lose him? What should I do? I'm devastated. |

My very first dog (I always had cats) was adopted from the Humane Society. Her name was Prissy and she was a true "mutt". And she was the smartest and most loyal dog around. At about the same age as your little guy, she was diagnosed as having a hole in her heart. This caused one side to work extra hard and gradually enlarged it until it failed. Prissy was given 2 years to live and I was warned that the more active she was, the more work her heart had to do so...well, you know. This is what you are dealing with. I made the decision that Prissy would live life fully...no matter what effect that had on longevity. My job was to make her happy while she was here. We lived in the country and she loved chasing animals. It was her favorite thing to do. She had a pet door to come in and out when she wanted. One night, we heard her bark, then yelp, then nothing. My husband went out and found her. She lived 3 years and she died doing what she loved..she had jumped from the porch to chase something in the night. I was devastated but I wouldn't trade those years and memories I had with her for anything in this world. Her life was short but it was full of love and joy and I know she was happy. Thinking of her makes me smile everytime. Hope that story helps in some way...

| What a great story of love and balance. to Julio's mom. Only you can make the decision, but at the end of the day to ME, it is about quality of life. If there medications that can help? Great. But, when the time comes - let it be okay if you can. I had a vet that helped us end one of our pet's suffering once say - I've never met a family that made the choice too son - but sadly many have said they waited too long. In any event - quality of life - is he happy? Is he enjoying treats and moments in the sun and with his toys and with his family? Is he out of pain? Good luck to you and prayers x10 over. Quote:
