What a fabulous job you have done through the years caring for this pup, and doing all you can for him. I just love that!
I lost my previous Yorkie when she was 11 years old and had been in renal failure for quite some time. My goal,was much like yours .... To give her the best life possible and lots of love. Clearly, you are a super Yorkie mom to still have your loving baby with you at 14 years of age! |
Thanks Cali! And I'm sorry for your loss.
I guess, then, that I might qualify for the poodle hall of fame too.
. I also have a tiny 14 year old poodle with more issues than Scooby. Peaches was diagnosed with Chronic Allergic Bronchitis at 10. The vet said she could live another year or so with it. Put her on prednisone and a Flovent inhaler twice daily. Four years later she still takes prednisone every day and uses her inhaler twice a day. Two years ago she got glaucoma and had surgery to remove her eyeball. A year later glaucoma struck her remaining eye. When it couldn't be controlled by drops anymore, we were afraid to put her lungs through another major surgery, so we had a procedure done where they injected something in her eyeball, while awake and with a numbing drop, to kill the fluid producing cells in her eyeball. It left her completely blind. Her CAB hasn't progressed much. She wheezes every once in a while but never coughs, has even learned her way up and down stairs, and has a great life.
Sheesh! What we won't go through for these babies!
