My Pug Scoop (Precious Scoop has passed... )

God Bless you and Scoop. I know what mental exhaustion you are speaking of. I hope you are able to take a good rest with Scoop.
Patti

Thanks everyone for your concerns. It's so hard for me not to think about it 24/7. It's right there in front of me and it doesn't leave my mind. Scoop gave me a hard time last evening with eating. I had to call the vet and ask about his insulin because he didn't eat much and what he did eat isn't anything good for him. He did eat some dog food this morning.

I mentioned to the vet last week that the couple times I did not give him his Vetoryl that he wasn't sleeping so much those days. So yesterday she told me to cut his dose from 40mg to 30mg.

Thinking of you both, hope you had a better day yesterday

Big hug, kisses for the boys

I know what you mean about not being abloe to get this off your mind. Some people are able to shut it off and not think about it, I am not one of those unfortunately. I can probably say since I first knew Tipper had Cushings it has been on my mind constantly. My neighbor who means well, always tells me to keep busy and not hink of it. i do keep extremely busy and that does not stop the thoughts from invading my brain. All you can do is the best you can. Tipper and I still pray for Scoop to have a miracle. God Bless you both.

I'm such a mess right now. Scoop is eating some right now but he has gotten so, so picky with what he'll eat.
Please say a prayer for my Scoop. Any miracles out there?
I keep thinking about our visit to U of Penn. The treatments would have been over a few weeks ago and maybe it would have helped Scoop. Now it looks like he won't be here much longer. It just gets me she wouldn't do the treatments because of fear of losing him but isn't that what's going to happen now anyway? I guess one day he won't want to eat anything at all any more. It's so hard.

Oh Vicki, I am so sorry to hear that Scoop's appetite is not picking up and will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and hugs, Lori

Vicki:
I truly wish I had the magic wand to give Scoop a miracle. I understand what you are saying about the treatments, and him not being here much longer. Were you going to take him to Penn State? I could not hold up as good as you have done, I give you all the credit in the world. This is just too much to bear for you, and I hope God shows Scoop mercy and helps him. Don't be afraid to ask God to help, I still am waiting to see some miracles. Blessings
Patti

Lori, Patti-Thank you

Praying for you and Scoop!

Hey Vicki,

Just checking in on you and Scoop. Hope is is having some brighter days and you are getting some big snuggles at least.

My sister once said to me, "When you are feeling sick, all you want is Yummy food" and she was so right. I see it in Fraser a lot too now, I have to bribe him to eat - he always gets a little bit of something special with his food now. It seems to work most times for him. Maybe you could tempt Scoop in a similar way? Just to get his to eat a little bit. I know how awful it feels when they don't want to eat their food, makes everything else seem that bit worse.

Big hugs honey.

Vicki,

I hope that everything is going well with Scoop. Crossing my fingers!

Thank you everyone for all your kind words. Scoop's eating has gotten even worse the last day or two. This morning I couldn't hardly get him to even eat lunch meat which he has been eating till now. It is so hard. The vet put him on an antibiotic for his diarrhea. The diarrhea is so bad.

Aw, Vicki, I am so sorry you and Scoop are struggling so these days. I know how hard it is to watch them decline, feeling so helpless to do anything for them. Does our sweet boy seem to find any joy in his days? Does anything seem to make him happy lately? I know you are doing all you can for him...as does Scoop. He sees how much you love him and how hard you are working on his behalf. We are with you always, sweetie.

Hugs,
Leslie and the gang

Vicky:
It is truly heartbreaking to read about your Scoop. I am still asking God for a miracle to heal him. He knows how much you love him, and how much you have taken care of his every need. He knows his mommy is helping him and wanting him to get better. I cry every time I post to you as I know this will indeed be me and Tipper one day. I hope you are able to spend as much time with him as you can. Take some video if possible of him playing, or some pictures with you both. I try to take video of Tipper almost daily, and I do it a lot when she is barking as I always want to be able to hear her voice forever and ever. God Bless you Vicki, I am right there with you in spirit praying for you and Scoop. I would try to give him anything he will eat to keep his strength up. You can get AD food off the Vet and suck it into a bigger syringe and feed it to him. It comes in a small can, and I have used it on my cat when he was sick. It works and is very high calorie and good nutrition for them. I will keep praying for you both, hugs and kisses to Scoop from Tipper.
Patti

I join the others in sending you strength and love. You are an awesome mom to Scoop. Kim

I'm praying for you and Scoop. You are doing everything you can and you are the best mama to him a boy could have! Just be with him.

Vicki,
there seems to be a lot of diarrhea going around. Poor Scoop. If he'll tolerate it, a warm bath always helps Daisy feel a bit better.

Prayers are always coming from Moo & myself, Vicki, you are a great dog mom! :)

HI Vicki
Checking in with you and Scoop to hopefully see some improvement and you managed to tempt her to eat with something tasty. Have you tried some baby food (without onion)? A lot of dogs seem to like that when they are feeling poorly. Lots of hugs for you both xx

Vicki:
You and Scoop are always in my heart. I hope today finds Scoop feeling a little better,and that he is hungry for some food. God Bless You Both as I think of you all day long and pray for Scoop.
Blessings
Patti

Vicki,
Thinking about you and Scoop.

Thanks everyone. Sorry I haven't been on lately. It's tough right now. It's hard to come here and post. Scoop is not eating well. Sometimes he'll refuse everything and sometimes he'll eat a little dog food. There are times all he'll eat is lunch meat or liverwurst. Yesterday he gobbled up a rotisserie chicken leg. Food he should not be eating because of his pancreas. He is losing weight. It is so frustrating. I just think I have to make him eat.

The vet did a B12, folate, pancreas blood test. B12 was high but she said it wasn't significant, folate was normal, pancreas was high. She said normal for the pancreas is under 400 and Scoop's is greater than 1000. He has been on a compounded formula of Tylan for over a week and will be staying on that. Today I will be picking up Baytril and Tramadol.
