Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Oh the tragedy behind your words fills me with such sadness. But please realize that you are a precious soul, one made out of kindness and compassion and our world here needs people like you. Too often I meet selfish and uncaring people who place money above all else. And I grieve for the loss of our innocence in this day and age. It is hard to stay in such a harsh world, but stay we must, and face those challenges which are thrown at us. Be it a mite infestation or a sweet sick pup. And sometimes, we are challenged unfairly with both. Although it is possible that your life and it's challenges spiraled out to include Holly and as you are dealing with mites and fungus, so then must Holly. But this sweet little girl might not have lived at all had it not been for you. And you gave her all that you are and she has given you all that she is. And that makes for a perfect moment, even if only for a short while. If you were to ask Holly if she would have rather lived a longer life with someone mean and uncaring or a short life with you, I would bet money that she would say with you with no hesitation. Holly can yet recover. Miracles do happen and dogs with mitral valve disease do live for long lives with medication. The fungus may have a hold of her, but medicine is a powerful thing these days but so are prayers, and she has both. Do not let yourself wander down those lonely streets to that lost and desperate place you found yourself in a while back. Just take each moment and wring it dry with as much happiness as you can find. Insist to the doctor that you visit Holly. Insist that they let you take her out for a walk. Holly needs to see you. I myself have had to insist on my rights as my dog's companion. When Java was so very sick in the hospital a number of months back, I put three plastic chairs together and said I was not leaving. Every time there was a quiet moment, I would knock on the doors and ask to see my dog. If they told me that it was best to not disturb her I would tell them that I had known my dog for ten years and I would know what was best for her and not them. I generally made myself a polite nuisance until they finally gave in and started letting me back to sit on the floor where I could pet her through the cage. I know it made her feel better. And when she started feeling better I started taking her for a walk. Vets like to say that it disturbs the other animals and that if everyone wanted to come back and visit they wouldn't be able to move. I used to say... " well doc, it is 3 a.m. and I don't think there is a line at the door trying to come in, only me. " So, do not be afraid to assert yourself. As for looking backward and wearing those glasses that give you excellent hindsight..there are always the " woulda, shoulda, coulda's " . All we can do is plan for the future and live in the moment. Do not blame yourself. You are sick. You took in a sick dog. I have had fungus and mites and my husky is healthy but my little dog Java is not so healthy. But she has been sick her entire life so of course this situation is affecting her. But I couldn't have known this. Nobody saw this coming. So, all I can do now is try and keep her from getting any sicker. Your poor pup had the cards stacked against her before she ever came to you. Please don't beat yourself up. And don't think about what might happen should the worse come about. Just keep taking those deep breaths. Stand strong and keep fighting. I am here backing you.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Of course I will. I plan on asking them as many questions as I can think of, and if I can't think of them all, I will call them later and ask those questions. We need to understand what this fungus is. It is way too coincidental that so many of us are tortured by mites first and then this fungus. There just can not be that many fungi around that would manifest itself with bird mites. So, based upon that thought, I believe this fungus is the same as what everyone else is dealing with and it is very important to understand its impact on our health, our homes and our living conditions, including clothing, food and personal hygiene. I just hope that the testing is successful and good viable samples are found. I truly can't imagine that it would not be successful given that it seems to be everywhere. I will post answers and information the minute I have anything. And if you think of anything else you would like me to ask, just let me know. Hang in there....Terry > > > > > >My dear Mitey crusaders, this battle is long and unforgiving of all that we do.
