Sooo...
Just got word that we're going to have to put our golden, Abby, down. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 10 days ago and isn't responding to treatment.We've exhausted all other thoughts, treatments, etc and consulted over a dozen vets. She has been sick and not eating for about a month and a half now. She's lost nearly 25 pounds since it all began and her blood count refuses to improve. Unfortunately it's come time to make the call, and I even feel as though she's been suffering too long at this point. She's only 6 years old and hadn't showed any signs of aging until now. We thought that she, like our Shih-Tzu, would well out live the normal age. But, life is what happens when you're busy making plans. I just hope that "Doggie Heaven" is 10x as good as it seems, because she deserves it.

That's so sad. Poor goggie. 's to you for your loss.

My little brother's golden is going the same route. She's diabetic and has a thyroid problem, and now she's going blind from cataracts. They can't do surgery for the cataracts cause she has an erratic heartbeat. It just breaks my heart.

sorry to hear about your doggie.
not an easy decision to make.


one of my cats is 17 years old.
vets have told me before they can put her down as she will die soon.

hogwash.....

i was told that by the vet 13 months ago and the cat is still with us and in no pain.

she has gone thru insulin shots 2x's a day for 6 years and now a miracle that she recovered from diabetes, and from cancer.

now she's on meds for an autoimmune disease and meds keep her fine.

she doesn't see or hear very well but she knows where her food bowl is and the liter box.
she still hops in my bed to wake me up in the morning.
a sawpaper tongue licking my eyelids and nose will wake up anyone...

i think this cat will outlive me....

Sounds like shes pretty immortal. How on earth do you round up a cat everyday to give them a shot? I would have enough trouble catching the darn thing much less having to give them a shot when they knows it coming!

 

[macraven]

shots were a lot easier than the 3 pills a day i have to cram down her throat.





by the Grace of God that cat is still alive.



we think she is too stubborn to give it all up .....











the cost we have had for this cat is close to putting her thru college.
that is if she were human.......

I dont want to know what mom has spent on Lady, our 15 year old Shih Tzu. She has back problems like crazy, a call in need basis lifetime supply of prednizone and valume. She has also had one eye removed and now as an eye specialist and has for 2 years. She have to drive an hour one way to get to them.... Like I said, I dont want to know!

Abby on the other hand, hasn't had anything until now really. Just routine shots etc. Up until her surgery the bill was up to $1500. We lost track after she had her spleen removed and now shes on 9 different meds.

However, mom took her to the vet this morning and her blood counts were up, white cells down (they were elevated beyond reason), and she is walking around. Not sure if she's eaten anything... Sign I'm tired of this emotional roller coaster. Maybe she will pull through, I just hope she doesnt suffer anymore.

Keisha ... the CP hotels are insane !! We have the platinum pass for Cedar Fair so we are going to go for the big bucks and stay at Sandcastle suites on the island we dropped a day to just stay on the island . NOT ONE hotel is worth the price but we really wanted a little bigger room and the kids are too old for Great Wolf and the other one Kalahari ( ??) is way over priced I should just stay on the island for that price !! .AND the shock of it all is that this is OHIO !! And all the hotels get crappy reviews on Tripadvisor !! LOL


TD sorry about the doggie .... He will go to a better place and will not be in pain we do not have pets but I do know that loosing a pet is just as hard on families as loosing a person ....

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL !!!!! is Tuesday and it is 1/2 day !! WHOOOO SO EXCITED !!!

Looking forward to my trip to WDW this Aug !!!

OK 8 PM time for my happy place ... ECLIPSE is on Showtime and I am a TWILIGHT Mom at heart and need my EDWARD FIX !!! <3

no such animal, beware the econolodge right outside the causeway...i took one look @ the parking lot & walked away from a reservation. Better options back toward the turnpike intersection. As long as no odd traffic, it's only a 10 - 15 minute drive to the parks & most of the restaurants are in that area. The rooms @ kalahari are really nice, check out their website for lots of different promos. Have you considered the breakers express? It's not walkable but on the causeway & has the early entry privledge.

We're heading down Thursday and actually got cheaper rates for Castaway Bay than for Breakers Express (or any other CP properties!). "Only" $159 a night but that includes water park passes and since we're not doing the parks the first evening, the kids can enjoy the pools at least. Plus I think it's a nicer resort than the "older" rooms in Hotel Breakers we usually stay in and less money and comes with a fridge/microwave. Unfortunately also a game room, which is the main thing my kids remember from their one trip there before in 2004!

Unfortunately I won't be doing much on this trip since I broke a couple ribs in a biking accident last week (mountain, not motorcycle!) and am just getting past the "excruciating pain" part (I honestly think for about 18 hours it was worth than childbirth! ). Think I'll be sticking with the swing ride and train this trip!

Janet - I think we also walked away from the same Econolodge! Honestly think it was the only hotel I've ever refused to stay in (and we have pretty low standards). They actually were very nice about it though and rebooked us in one of their "sister" hotels, which was much nicer.

My suggestion as to one of the "nicer" places (other than all the CP owned ones or waterparks) is the Fairfield near the turnpike - we had good luck the couple times we've stayed there.

homie marcie........welcome back.


broken ribs....ouch!




where's your countdown for this trip?

which park in Ohio are you going to

 

[coastermom]

We are going to Cedar Point and then heading to Kings Island ....

We have the Dorney Park Platinum Pass which is good for all Cedar Fair parks so we figured we would hit them both in one trip !

I booked the sandcastle suites for Cedar point and I got a good deal on a country inns and suites for Kings Island so we are all ready to go !!

19 Days Till CEDAR POINT !! and 61 days till the Girls only trip to WDW !!

I wouldn't mind Cedar Point but Kings Island I will never go back to after how rude the workers and not to mention how rude the other park guests were and I know that can happen anywhere and really a shame cause we only live probably 3 to 4 hours away
