My little Maggie Bear!!

[bmccasland]

So has Maggie gone Hollywood now that she has the spotlight on her? Does she give autographs? And have you told her it's only for a month?

And ONE more question.... is she feeling better??

She is trying the aloof approach to her 15 minutes.

From the outside she seems to be feeling much better, she is a little bloated from eating her canned food too fast. She is still boney but all pot bellied. The vet wants to try this phosphorous binder 7-10 days and recheck. Then it will be continue on that or go sub-cu. The pharmacy that fills her binders is a people pharmacy that compounded it there, it is pretty funny the label says Last name, Dog "Maggie".

She's darling! Hope she continues to feel better.

Amanda, she is absolutely precious! I am glad to hear she seems to be feeling better.

Back in the hospital with elevated kidney counts. We are on the last ditch effort, if they come down we have to try subcu and check in a week. The vet said she is a fighter, she should be feeling like crap but she isn't acting like it. But he also warned us there is a chance that this will be in vain. DH wouldn't give up on the little bear yet so she is enjoying hospitalization until Friday. I feel pretty hopeless and nothing is going to snap me out of that tonight, hopefully sleep will.

Sending more prayers that everything will come out for the best.

Poor Maggie Bear. I'm sorry she's back in the hopsital. I hope that it goes ok. She is in our thoughts (that's Mac-dog and me!).

[bmccasland]

So sorry to hear Maggie is doing poorly and had to go back to the hospital. Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Thanks ladies. I had a good cry last night you know the wheezing, alligator tear popping kind. I still feel really bummed for the little bear and anxious. We have fur children not the human kiddos, it is amazing how much emotional value you invest in your pets. My husband the eternal optimist says she will pull through, hope is all we got. I wish I could bottle his enthusiam. He was diagnosed with crohns and put on IV therapy indefinitely, his response to me saying I felt bad for him "I just play with the hand I am dealt, all you can do." One of the most profound things anyone has ever said to me. So we will let Maggie play her hand.

The vet said if he thought it wasn't worth a shot he wouldn't have offered it but we got a fighter and if we can afford it we should let her try. So we are. He compared the way she feels to the flu, she feels awful but she isn't in physical pain. Like you can hold her and cuddle her without her wimpering. I really worried we weren't doing right by Maggie by keeping trying but the vet thinks that is the best thing to do if we can.

If she pulls through I imagine you would have to keep her on subcutaneous water shots every day or every other day for long term. Not everyone is prepared to do this. Ask your vet about that issue.

I'm sorry she's having such a struggle. I know it's terribly painful for you.
