My little Maggie Bear!!

I am crying as I read these posts. I am so so sorry!! This is the worst thing we, as humans, go through.

I'm praying for a miracle and also praying for your comfort during this time.

There is the unfortunate point when there's no fight left. Rereading these posts, it seems that Maggie didn't even start life with good genetics, and you at least gave her the gift of a lovely home. Is she comfortable? Can she eat, drink, pee & poop? Does she have something that resembles a quality of life?

I write these questions and think about my own old dog, and how rotten I felt when I saw her legs collapse under her yesterday when she went to get out of the car after a ride to the park. Planning for the end is never easy.

I'm sorry to hear your little baby isn't improving much, poor little puddin.

Oh Aggie, I hate to hear this.

When my Jodi Bell got to where she rarely ate, drank, and played, I knew it was time to let her go. It doesn't get easier, but I do have a sense of relief when they take their last breath and their suffering has come to an end. Sometimes just making the decision to let them go is the hardest. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Amanda,
My heart and thoughts are with you. I am way overdue for a trip to my vet w/ my older girl kitty...she is not dropping weight fast, but has lost weight over the past few months. I think I just don't want to hear anything and I HAD to get thru the holidays.
These 4 legged creatures are our children...the are so wonderfully loving and giving. I am sending you good thoughts. And what ever time this buys you w/ your lovely Maggie, I know it will be good.
I've had some amazing aniamals beat the odds...I hope this is true for Maggie.
Keep us updated! Take care. (I have 6 critters...so I'm make sure they send critter prayers!)

Well the good thing about being Aggies is we have a friend that is a DVM. He isn't local but he told my husband he had time to discuss Maggie tonight. The DVM was my husband's roommate and a groomsman in our wedding. He will shoot us straight but also has the education to understand what the vet is saying. My husband and I both just wish the vets said "the best thing at this point is to put her to sleep". Maybe they do and she isn't quite to that point. We have an appointment this evening to discuss her current condition with the vet since it is hard to relay it to my husband when the vet calls.

Before she got sick she was eating and pottying. She doesn't play since she is blind but until the past week or so she would come and ask for attenion. It is so hard because even as bad as she feels she is happy to hear our voices. Of course when they take her off that IV how good will she feel? That is where the vets are pessimistic, what will happen when she is off the pump and fluids.
