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???

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.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
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.
