Poor little Ella has been through another rough day in our eyes but just imagine what her life was like just a short week ago.

You are doing an awesome job taking care of her so far and it sounds like she is calm and starting to realize that she is safe and loved. I am sure she didn't like her bath, she probable has never been bathed.

Her health is obviously a concern but all you can do now is wait and see how she responds to the antibiotic . I'm sure her teeth are a mess and probably the cause of her kidney and cardiac problems. The lack of hair is probably a combination of poor nutrition and diabetes. Her hair will get better once both of these issues are addressed. It is sad to hear the vet says she might be too sick to have quality of life. Just continue to take one step at a time, crossing each challenge as it comes.

She already looks 1,000,000 times better than she did just a few short days ago and it is all because of YOU!

Ditto Ditto Ditto!!!

Thank you SO much for saving this precious girl. I feel so good knowing she will be loved this Christmas!

I am sorry that she is still having a bit of a hard time, but it is certainly a vast improvement over her life a week ago! Thank you thank you for taking her and loving her! She looks much better in these new pictures!

Everyday she shows so much improvement. Im holding her right now.....she snores so loud when she sleeps. I bought Ella's xmas present today she dosent play with toys so I got fluffy baby blankets, it seems to be her favorite thing and she goes through alot of them a day. She is getting around so well. She has 3 rooms figured out and dosent bump into much when in these rooms. Her eye looks so good, its clearing up. It actually lost some of the milky look. She hasnt shown any improvement in the frequent urination but she has only had a day of antibiotics. She walked with the other dogs outside for like 20 min she is great on leash she walked right behind them. I think she had fun. Her little tail even wagged a couple of times which is the first time Ive seen it wag

Ella looks so cute and snug with her new blanket and bed. She sure is one lucky girl to have ended up in your home.

llcornell · 12-24-2008, 03:38 PM

Ella is doing so well. She played outside today for a long time and I have a bunch of cute pics. I will post later but I had to post this. She finds the weirdest places to sleep. I moved her to a soft bed four times and she kept going back to the toy basket. She is so stubborn and strong. I know this is how she made it on the streets of L.A. She is such a strong little determined fighter.
Merry Christmas!!!!!

Ella is still urinating frquently but not as frequently. I honestly cant tell if she is much better with it. Mentally she is a million times better. She started antibiotics late monday. Should I see a big difference in the urination and how long should a retired breeder of her age be able to hold it? Also how do I potty train a deaf blind dog? She mostly pees on her pad in the bathroom but some random times she goes where ever she wants. I do encourage her with little treats and love when she goes outside but I really dont know where to go beyond that or what to expect.

I really have no more experience to offer you regarding her UTI. As for the potty training just keep doing what you have been and see how it works. She might just go along with the other and learn that way. It will probably always be hit or miss with her.

Really the most important part in all of this is how she is doing mentally and you said yourself she is so much better.
