So Sad!, Loss of my friend Options

[Victoria]

Hello all
I just lost my best friend on Sunday. He was just short of his 15th birthday. He had been sick for about 2 months. I tryed everything to help but nothing did. His name was J-dog, he was a very speical dog a Jack Russell. This is the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm having a really bad day today. I have two other dogs another JRT she is almost 13, and a Lab who is 13. What a crew! Both of my other dogs are joining me in my grief. I'm worried about my Lab he too is just hanging on to life by a thread. I don't know how I will deal with back to back grief like this. The Lab is my husbands dog, J-dog was mine and my other JRT is both of ours. She is having a hard time dealing with Jays death. I try not to cry around her, but it hard because she won't let me out of her sight. I quess I need some encouragement on how to deal with her. Gosh I miss my buddie so much....

Victoria: I just spoke with Joanne..the gal who knows about fluids and she said something like ForDuffy just told you.

She said you should take Goose to the vet and get his fluid intake recalibrated.
Something about...if his skin is tight and the needle is difficult..it could mean he is getting enough fluids and is hydrated and overdoing would not help him so it sounds like you should call your vet right away and maybe have to take Goose in so the vet can see him and maybe change what you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Joanne's computer should be fixed next week so maybe she can tell you more at that time. But it sounds like you should talk to your vet because maybe Goose's treatment should be changed. If he is hydrated..it sounds like you are doing a good job.
Joanne has written here before as JackJackBoJack..so look for her or visit her thread.
