Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Hi Julie and Tina :)

I dedicated one full evening to going through and updating, finding out what is going on with people. I know it is so easy to get caught up in what is going on here and lose track of time. I have to make a real effort to limit myself some days or I'd spend the rest of the week chasing dust bunnies everywhere. :) I do have it a bit easy in that 2 days of the week I work from my home office. That gives me some leeway in my online time, and catching up on things around here.

I'll go check out Jasper's thread this evening. Hope he is doing well!

I'm with you Julie, just wait and see what the next tests show and enjoy them right now as much as possible. Worry I'm sure will come in it's own time. At the moment Molly is pulling out every toy in her basket, throwing them in the air and then attacking them when they land.

Oh I do understand what you mean about the work days for teachers Julie. I have several family members and friends that are teachers. Always something to do after and before the school day begins. It seems never ending.

Hugs gang!

Hi Sharlene,

I have to second to what Tina, Jaspers mom, stated " your dedication and sweetness on the forum shine through for all us. You as so many other of our members are truly a Godsend. We would all be lost without one another. keep up the great work, although I know from experience, as much as we would love to dedicate every waking hour to this purpose, it is impossible to keep up at times.

Glad Molly's ears have cleared up by now. my girl used to get frequent ear infections and after switching her to a no grain diet it made a world of difference in that department. As for ear, eye drops, I gotta brag--she sits still for all of them--she's such a good girl.

take care of you and much love to you and Molly girl.

Tight hugs too. Xo Jeanettw

Awww, thanks jeanett. We have to stick together on here. Everyone is in the same boat and we all have to paddle together. :)

I'd love to switch molly to some other diet but I'm terrified of taking her off the S/O food, it has kept the crystals at bay and her drinking water in the right amounts for years now and I worry that if I change that, then we'll be back to the crystal problem. Although I did become a bit nervous over the possibility that being on that diet long term could cause pancreatic issues. I'm actually a bit concerned that might be what happened to her back in March with the awful diarrhea and she wouldn't eat and I had her on a very bland diet and antibiotics for a long time because the vet swore it must be something bacterial in her stomach.

Now reading here, I realize the symptoms were the same as pancreatis. I just never seem to know what to think and they didn't do any testing for that. I want to say, why on earth wouldn't they!

Anyway, that is me being a worry wart, but I do wonder if maybe it didn't cause the lymph nodes to be swollen (as seen on ultrasound) and the liver value to go up, although I'm not sure if they were connected or not.

I don't know what to make of the ear infection coming out of nowhere for the first time in her life.
Guess I've picked up the worry bug. LOL Still we're all okay here now and I'm probably more on pins and needles waiting on results to come in for others on the forum. Test days and now a surgery on the radar today has me in full worry mode. So far everything seems to be going well and everyone getting good news, including solid poops and Princess being herself. :)

HUGS, Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Dear Sharlene
You are indeed one of the angels on this forum.Always trying to say a kind and helping word. Thank you.
Will be praying for you and Molly. Glad the ear infection has improved.
Hugs Sonja and Angel Apollo

So cute to hear Molly is having fun tossing her toys about! Love it when they are playing and being silly!

I'm just going to say this on Molly's thread....

Happy Thanksgiving Each and Every One

You are all such special, wonderful people that I can't thank all of you enough for being on the other end of a computer for everyone who comes here, so scared, so worried for their precious furbabies. You give the gift of yourselves, every day. Thank you!

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I want to 2nd what you wrote in your post. We are all fortunate to have each other in our lives and for that I give many many thanks. Wishing you and your family the happiest of Thanksgiving and go ahead and let Ms. Molly clean some plates this Thanksgiving.

DITTO, sweetie and a special thanks to you

I hope Molly too has a happy turkey day, sleeps late, barks at the stove for turkey and happily demands lots of cuddles:D:D:D

I hope Molly's ear is better and a Happy Thanksgiving to you Sharlene!

I used Zymox on Jenny for a week before her dental procedure. I was hoping her deafness was due to inflammation or infection or something but the vet checked her while she was knocked out and said her ears were squeaky clean. So it works.
