My little Maggie Bear!!

My poor little Maggie bear went to the vet today because we realized she hadn't been eating. She had lost 5 lbs which is huge on a miniature schnauzer. They did a blood panel and discovered her kidneys and liver are failing. It is the first time in my life it has been hinted one of my kiddos might need to be put down. The dogs is already blind and 9 years old with thyroid problems. But the vet wasn't ready to give up because even with all that she is a little love bug.

The second option was IV fluids all weekend and recheck the levels. It will be a pretty penny but we have to let our baby have a chance to fight. DH was adamant about giving her a shot. My other dog Heidi is so upset we didn't bring Maggie back. I just hope Monday we can. With her age and history as a breeder (from an awful breeder) I don't know how much they can do. But she has fought before, the vet wasn't very optimistic about her chances if she does improve, he said she will not likely see the older age of Schnauzers but she could keep us company a while longer.

Why is it so hard when our four legged friends are sick???

((((((((Amanda & Maggie))))))))

Praying for a good outcome.

I'm so sorry. I know just what you are going through....it's tough all right.
I hope things go better.

Sorry to hear, positive thoughts sent for Maggie. Unfortunately I know how stressful it is when your pets are ill.

((hugs))

Big hugs and lots of special thoughts for little Maggie Bear.

{{{{{Maggie & Amanda}}}}} I hope Maggie comes home on Monday, too.

Prayers for both of you!!!

little maggie and her mama--we've been there and wish for the best...

My Kali girl sends you a gentle kiss and we're keeping our fingers and paws crossed for your little Maggie bear.

Hugs and head bumps from me and Nala - we've been there too with one of Nala's house mates. It's never easy. Maybe with those fluids Maggie will be feeling better on Monday morning. You know how lousy you feel when you get dehydrated....

All our best to both of you. I so hope you get good news.

I truly feel your pain. We've lost 2 this year (a kitty and a pup), and our other kitty has bad kidney levels, is anemic and has high blood calcium. We're treating to see if it's an infection, but it's more likely cancer:(

Give Heidi extra hugs and treats....

I'm thinking very positive thoughts for little Maggie that she'll come through and have some more time with her loving family. Poor baby:(


Thoughts are with you and Mr. Aggie Ama also.

Aw, Aggie. I'm sorry.

We hand our whole hearts over to our animals in a complete way we would never do with fellow humans. No defenses, no holding back, no protection. That's why it's so hard. But I would still do it, every time, anyway. I bet you would too.

So sorry to hear about your little one. Sending lots of healing vibes and good karma your way....

My terrible trio of golden retrievers - Maud, Maeve, and Fiona - send Maggie lots of K9 love.
