Doggy Health Update: She's Doing Ok but Could Be Better!

I want to thank everyone again who has sent my dog good vibes, prayers, and thoughts. They mean the world to me and my old doggy. She's currently doing fine and is almost back to her old self. Her bloodwork results came back today and I have both sad and good news.

Sad news is that her kidney values were double and almost triple in some areas than what they were 5 months ago. Her kidneys are being overworked because of one of her heart medications. This in turn is irritating her pancreas and when she was vomiting nonstop might have been a minor preview of pancreatitis. So that is the bad news.

The good news is that her vet thinks it is at a point where it is treatable. Not reversible, treatable so that she is comfortable and not in any pain. So he prescribed her a strict kidney therapeutic diet (plus an appetite stimulant because apparently that food is notorious for being hated by dogs) and is lowering her furosemide dosage. 2 weeks from now he's going to redo the bloodwork and recheck her kidneys. If THAT doesn't work, then he is going to go ahead and prescribe the kidney medication, which would mean she would be on 3 medications, two of which would have to play a balancing act against each other. If THAT doesn't work, then unfortunately we will have to say goodbye to my baby girl. Kidney failure is one of the most painful things a dog can go through. I don't blame her in any way, seeing as she will turn 15 this year in October and she's already lived past her CHF life expectancy (1 yr). So every day I have with her since her first diagnosis has been a blessing to me. It's already a blessing to know that her vet thinks she will live for 2 more weeks to make it to another bloodwork appointment. I will take it! hahaha its better than having to say good bye to her today!

I know I don't usually share stuff from my personal life, but my dog is my life. I have socks with her face on it, a calendar, stickers, pins, christmas cards, yearly halloween costume pics, pillows, blankets, all these things with her face on them. I'm that weird crazy dog dad and I am not ashamed hahaha She's my little old lady and I love her with all my heart, which is why it meant the world to me to see all your messages and comments praying for her good health! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😊😊😊

Sorry to share such strange somber news on a place for erotic and nsfw art! I know you guys are here to do "the business" and I hope this doesnt kill your bone'r or that I am not being TMI! This will be one of the few times I share a peek into my personal life.
