Thank you Carolyn Everitt. Belle seems to be perking up again knowing she get to go for walks through the day.
I'm hopeful it will be enough to make her get through her grief a little easier.
Thank you
Lily is doing great. She's still sniffing and sneezing a bunch but nothing serious yet thank goodness. Here she is playing with her best friend Bella. Not much cuter than watching them play together.
Sometimes you just need your best friend to make you feel better.
Lily is her old self and hopefully stays this way after getting back on immunosuppressents. Bella is my 14 year old Chihuahua that's been with me her entire life. Lily is now 8 and with me most of her life.
They don't do anything without each other even going potty lol. One won't go without the other.
Bella has separation anxiety really badly now that's she's so old and she really stressed when I leave for even 5 minutes but also gets sad when Lily isn't with her.
I love it when they play like this!!!
20 minutes so far and still going. I think Bella helped to heal Lily just as much as me and the specialist did.
Hope you all smile as much as I did watching them.
Happy days are here again for Lily!!
Finally!!
Hi from Lily and best friend Belle
I don't want to jinx anything but, Lily is doing so so good. When she was healthy, she would state at me and do a low growl to let me know she wanted my attention for something whether it was food, to go potty, to be picked up or whatever. She stopped doing that once she had the vaccine reaction. Also, her ears are fluffy again if that makes any sense. Her hair on her ears is longer and when she feels good or normal, her ears look so full and fluffy. When she's sicj they look limp and blah. They be looked blah since her vaccine reaction 5 months ago. Look at her just now..........i love this tough lil girl. She is just amazing and making me laugh again.
What does your pet do to make you laugh??
Once again my Lily has surprised us all. Her 2 to 3 days ended early. I got to bring her home tonight. She walked on her own and couldn't yesterday. She's eating small meals and drinking and wouldn't yesterday. This dog has a bigger will to live and fight everything thrown at her, than anyone I've ever seen. I'm in awe of her will to be home.
Vaccine manufacturer your poison that you peddle without telling us of these risks and neglect to say just how many suffer or die from them, has failed to kill Lily again. She's beating the odds and she's living to help educate others in the fight for change and I hope it happens sooner than later.
Thank you all so much for sharing and praying for Lily! I appreciate every single one of you and Lily sends doggy kisses and puppy dog snuggles for all of you.
Home is the best medicine. :)
Lily had a great day today! She was back to playing with her best friend and didn't have any major issues or symptoms today! I love to see her and Bella play together.
Another uncomfortable night for Lily sigh.
I'm not even sure how many days it's been now. I've honestly lost track. Lily is holding steady since the last update and I should be happy I know. It's hard to see her wanting to lay around most of the day instead of being silly. As happy as I am she's alive and holding steady it's hard to deal with all of the meds 3 times a day. It's hard to see her seem uncomfortable because she's bloated or breathing heavily from the steroids. I still wake up at any movement or sound she makes because I fear she will stop breathing or will begin to bleed again. The stress of this is overwhelming and I wish I were more like Lily and just forget all of the bad stuff and live for today. It's hard to forget. It's stressful for me beyond anything I could've imagined. It's almost like I'm stuck in a state of worry and anxiety and it's not who I am. I hope it fades as she continues to improve.
I still haven't heard from the manufacturers of the vaccine that caused this nightmare for lily and I but I really didn't expect them too, but, I had hoped they would attack least reach out with a generic we are sorry note even if they don't take responsibility for it.
Here is a video of our nightly routine now. This is 1 of 3 times each day every day that Lily takes medication.
Feel free to share your stories on this page and maybe we can all be part of changing the way vaccines are given.
Goodnight everyone!!!
My poor dog. All because I thought I had to get her the rabies vaccine. Never again. If she makes it through this, she will never get that vaccine again nor will any other dog or cat in my life
