Lucy Update

Looking much better!
Hey, not so close, mom! You're making my nose look huge!

Little Lucy went to the vet yesterday. Thankfully, her kidneys seem to be about the same - so whatever is ailing her is more likely a virus than related to her renal disease.

The vet gave Lucy a shot of Cerenia for her nausea, and started her on famotidine, metronidazole, and IV fluids to get her back on her feet. She ate a little last night, which practically had me dancing around the house! This morning she's much more awake and aware - she was very dehydrated yesterday and the fluids really made a difference. I'll give her more fluids this morning and touch base with the vet later today.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my Lulu! We truly appreciate it and treasure having friends like you!

Power of the Paw for Lucy, please!

Lucy isn't well. She's been sick since Saturday. She's been spitting up (not vomiting) and has had awful diarrhea. She isn't eating, but she's drinking some water. She won't eat ground beef, chicken, turkey... nothing strikes her fancy. 

She has renal failure, and I know she won't be with me forever. We'll go to the vet today, so I'm asking for your Power of the Paw. It's so hard to watch my best friend for the past 14 1/2 years suffer and be so sick. Thank you, as ever, for your support.

Wag n' Swag - A Fundraiser for Sandy Pets

Our great friend and Mayzie's mom, Amber, has started a fundraiser for the pets affected by superstorm Sandy. If you live in our area, you're still seeing pictures of devastation, destruction, and displaced pets. Amazingly, people are still without power almost three weeks after the storm. And so many people have no homes to go back to. Homes were either flattened, washed away, or are deemed unsafe and therefore uninhabitable. Rescuers are just getting to pets left behind, and they need our help.

Amber has one of the BIGGEST hearts we've ever met, and hopes to raise at least $1500 for pets impacted by the storm. And she needs our help! Read more at Mayzie's blog, or click on the graphic below to get started.

Today is the last day to give, so don't delay - do it now. You'll be entered to win one of two fantastic Swag Bags!

Thank you on behalf of all the pets affected by superstorm Sandy, and huge tail wags and whisker kisses to Amber and Mayzie!

Let's get those tails affected by Sandy wagging again!
Click on the graphic above to give whatever amount you can!
