The largest *phew* possible. SO relieved to read this post. Tons more :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: Of course you're the best mom ever. Never apologize for being overly concerned. Better that than the...

(Not so) patiently waiting......:conf4: :crossfin::bigrayz::hug99::crossfin::bigrayz::hug99::crossfin::bigrayz::hug99:

is she straining to poop at all, Rae? But nothing's happening? If yes, that's a classic sign of bloat and a medical emergency. Glad you're going to get her in. Please check in after he's taken look...

Geez, Grasshopper, you're going to turn your mother grey!!! I'm with Lisa...yes, a visit to Brian is in order! It's not common for dachsies to bloat, but also not unheard of cuz they have the deep...

Sorry I missed this Rae. No, they can get a sample from her bladder, although the one first thing in the morning(I used a lid from a yogurt or margarine container...they dont need a whole lot) is...

I miss us..... (and for the record, still *squee*!!!) :love98:

Welcome home, Ellen. :hug99::hug99: It's pretty quiet around here these days, but I'm here every day :) . So good to see others coming back. I miss our old days. The new pups are gorgeous!

I refuse to believe it!!! How old is she now, Rae? 7? Beautiful grasshopper.....:sillylove:

Get her to Brian ASAP. That kind of sudden change in potty habits usually means something's going on. I don't know about a UTI if it's just happening at night, not during the day, but it could be...

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl: that made me literally laugh out loud, Rae. All hail the new HRH Savannah!!:appl:

There is almost nothing more gross!!:conf4: I was going through that with Heidi a while back turned out. It turned out they were infected and Barry had to put her under to thoroughly clean them out...

:holysheep: Yet another reason why seniors rock...much less tendency to kill things (not to mention not being able to move fast enough to catch 'em :rolleyes: ). I need a Jim for icky occasions like...

That was Alex :rolleyes: Getting down was a bit of a problem though!

Dachsies exhibit many cat-like qualities on occasion...jus' sayin'. :)

It is awesome, isn't it. :cheer3: Except for the emotional whiplash from dying dog to nope, she's doing ok, all things considered. :rolleyes:

Awesome appt!! Dr Orr is lovely. It was a textbook chordal tear he says, and now her little valve is swinging back on itself too much as a result. Barry was very pleased with himself as it's only the...

We had been, but she's not dehydrated so have stopped with them for now. Have been giving her a bit extra in her food, but she drinks as needed so perhaps I'll stop. I have a feeling she might have...

That's really interesting, Olga! I'll mention that to Barry next week. :hug99:

What happened to Butters??? :shocked:

Well! In the ever changing medical world that is my dogs :rolleyes: ... She is definitely in stage 1 of kidney disease, but not stage 4. Her bloods were a LOT...

Heidi has been doing great the last week or so. So great that I'm taking her into see Barry this morning to recheck everything.Plus, apparently when you do a kidney work up, you're supposed to do a...

:rotfl::rotfl: well, I think it was 3 weeks between Alex and James and Jules, not quite the 6 months I was aiming for. I did however manage 3 months between James and Patti! :) However, I'm going to...

Well, somebody's got to :) But I think I'm going to take a break over the winter. I need some time to recharge me and my bank account. And my heart. You don't bounce back quite as quickly at 60, I'm...

Nope. It's all loss. I've been very lucky in that all except for Ferk went as the result of a health crisis, and she was certainly past her best before date, but her spirit was so very strong. And it...
