Lena, Teacup Poodle w/ adrenal tumor - Lena is now an angel

I am so sorry Joan. :o Lena is right where she needs to be right now. Yes, it is very hard to leave them. :o

Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way.

Paws up Lena! We are pulling for you!

Hugs,
Kathy

Oh my gosh Joan. How absolutely terrifying for you and Lena. Do let us know how she is doing. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, I am here too!! Hoping so much for some good news this morning!

Thank you all...she made it through the night. They said she slept, but they might just be saying that. She was barking to go out, so they took her out of the oxygen tank to pee and seemed okay, but started panting again. That could be her nerves....the doctors do rounds around 9 and then they will call our vet for the results of the tests the other day, they've given her Lasix. She must be terrified and wondering why I'm not there.

I can hardly see, my eyes are swollen shut and I can't stop crying....

Whew! Our girl made it through the night OK!!!

Will they let you visit with Lena today, or do they think that will get her too agitated? Either way, can you maybe drop off a shirt or a towel or something that carries your scent on it? That might be comforting to Lena -- something familiar to her that links her to her mom.

I'm so glad she made it through the night! Come on Lena sweetie. You can beat this. Sending you big hugs Joan. something with scent on it is a good idea. Good thought Marrianne!

They told me to come around noon, by then they will have gotten her imaging from our vet and be able to go over everything with me. I'm so afraid...if I had listened to my vet she would probably have died...not that I had any intention of listening to him. I was already almost out the door when he called back. And if she had been in his hospital, there's no one there to check on them at night.

One of the vets in this Emergency Hospital specializes in Cushing's. I think I picked up her card, but they are just ER doctors and I'm not sure if they do regular office visits. But I think my days with my vet might be over. I'm not sure he has been concerned enough...but I could just be too upset right now to think clearly.

I did manage to get the Credit Care or whatever it is called. I was approved for $3400, which will probably be used up just for this. The bill as of last night was $2100 or something like that and that was just 75% of the high estimate.

I don't know how I am going to be able to go to work and leave her when she gets home.

My prayers and positive thoughts are with you... Lena is so lucky to have you...!!! I am sure she will recover quickly and be back home soon.

God, I hope so...just thinking about how she kept reaching for me and putting her face up to the plastic to kiss me last night is killing me. If she didn't have to be in the oxygen tank, I would stay and hold her, but it will only upset her if she sees me and can't get to me...and that goes both ways....and then she'll see that I'm crying and it will only make it worse...I can't stop crying.

My prayers and healing thoughts are going out to you and Lena! Since you have some time before you go to meet with the doctors, try to write down your questions for them. My Abbie is in the hospital now and I just finished my list for her doctor. Take care!
