Oh Sue, what a terrible, horrible, rotten weekend for you. I am so sorry for your loss of your little westie, and concerned you have to wait two days to discuss your tests. Sending good thoughts to you.

So sorry to hear about Eliot, Sue. Also sending good thoughts for your health.

My condolences on the loss of Eliot, and how terrible that the procedure to euthanize had to take all that time.

I'm very sorry to hear about the unfortunate experience, hopefully everything else will turn out okay.

Such welcome words of comfort! Thank you all.

You are due some good news! ((((sue)))). Please let us know.

I agree. All good news now.

What a heart-break! Poor little Eliot. Were you there with him the whole time? It's so difficult on the parent, and so much so, when it doesn't go as smoothly as it should. (((((Sue and hubby))))). RIP little Eliot

(((sue))) sending nothing but good Karma your way. I know it hurts, but All Dogs Go To Heaven, and Eliot is there. Godspeed.

I feel so sad about Eliot. How terribly upsetting to have it not go smoothly. How you'll miss that little guy. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and your husband peace and only happy memories of dear Eliot.

Keep us posted on the medical issue for you. Let's hope for the best.

Susan

So sorry to hear about the trials and tribulations. RIP Eliot. Doing that last loving act for our furchildren is always difficult, and the vet unfortunately didn't make it comfortable for you and Eliot. Best wishes to you with your medical issues. Lots and lots of ((((virtual hugs)))) coming your way.

|Always so sad when we have to say goodbye to a beloved pet, but it was a loving act to Eliot when he was so very ill. ((((Sue))))

I'm sorry to hear the news about Eliot. Indeed you've had a rough time. I hope your next bit of news is more positive.

So sorry (((Sue)))

So sorry about Elliot, he had a good life thanks to you.

It's comforting to hear your concern. Thank you. I've put in a call to the pulmonary MD's office. *Someone* will phone me today. I'm thinking: Further tests.

I've made an appointment with a Gyn. tomorrow. Probably coincidental, but it's been many a year since I had vaginitis! (Maybe that's the 'third thing', and I'll be DONE! LOL)

Sending you sympathy on the loss of Eliot and good thoughts regarding the reason for your increased igG levels.

I'm so sorry you're being besieged by crises.

I do know that dehydration, which happens in many illnesses, can make veins lose elasticity & thus make it difficult to find a good vein & administer a hypodermic.

If I were in your position, I'd write to my vet, so that she takes it seriously & so that it's documented, about her partner's incompetence (if I know to expect a collapsed vein, a licensed vet should know to expect a collapsed vein).

Knowing to expect collapsed veins, she should have administered a tranquilizer or calmative at the very outset.

& she should have been empathetic & compassionate & supportive of you.

the client.

the person who paid her for competent professional services & who did not receive them.

Yeast infections are opportunistic little b*st*rds;

they proliferate when your immune system is under stress.

& when *you* are under stress, so is your immune system.

so don't give that little problem any more power than it actually has (it actually has the same amount of power that any weed or parasite has, & as we know, weeds are eradicated by nothing more complicated than a garden hoe & parasites by such things as flea medicine.)

Take care of yourself, make things easy on yourself.

(((chisue))))

It better get better for you, and fast. Or I'll, well, I don't know what I'll do, but I am ready to fight for you.

I'm so sorry you lost your dog.

I'm so sorry for your sadness and worry, Chisue, and I'm so sorry you had to lose your little doggy at the same time you have a new concern. Regarding the vaginitis, do you take probiotics? That is supposed to be a big help in preventing the yeast overgrowth that often happens during/after antibiotic use, which I imagine happened during your bout of pneumonia. My dd had tummy troubles and was put on three different ones by her g. doctor. I hope you can do something nice for yourself today.

Good to hear!

I know you have some sad days ahead with your loss of Eliot even though it was a hard thing to do. It's never easy, but sure glad to hear you are okay health wise. thanks for the update.

Glad to hear your good news.

sluffing? we're all gonna sluff???

glad to hear the positive news!

Take care.

I didn't ask the GYN if this would be ongoing. It probably doesn't happen to every woman. My vaginal lining has become almost nonexistent post-menopause. (I'm going to start another thread about lubricants.)

I am so sorry to hear about your dog. Very heartbreaking. When I had the vet come to the house to euthanize Loki at the end of March he tried to put a catheter in his vein to give me a chance to say my goodbyes before he put the rest of the medication in. He couldn't find a good vein because Loki hadn't been walking so he said after we said our goodbyes and spent a little time petting Loki for the last time he would give the injection directly. It was instant which I was so grateful for. I hope things get better for you

)sorry to hear about your baby and now your trials...think it's a very good idea to have anything "different" checked out...never a dull moment...
