I think I only saw it on pussyprattle. So..................................(not sure why I mentioned this), but I think we are all interested.>>>>. Well, the old timers all know Sheba from the train ride...she and were outside the caboose most of the time making sure nobody snuck out for a cheat. Sheba was spayed in April, and then last month started having a pseudo-heat, worse than any heat she had ever had prior to the operation. About a week after that, still bleeding but not attracting males, she had four severe seiaures in less than one hour...I still do not know if this was because of an infection (her tummy got very swollen at the end) or a reaction to a tick collar I had put on two days before. At any rate, the dr. had the seizures down to about one a day that weekend, but she was heavily medicated and had no control of her functions and kept falling into her messes, etc...it was just hectic. She was a very shy and insecure dog and always followed me around, and I had to lock her up in the laundry room so she was miserable on top of all the rest of the stuff. I made the decision to have her put to sleep (it will be two weeks this coming Monday) because the vet care here is half-assed and I really was afraid she had something really wrong internally that would just prolong the inevitable. I am like Kari and Norma and a lot of you...my fur-babies are like kids to me and it was sad and hard. The only thing that brought me back to REALITY was baby Kobe's death...I guess I had just gotten very self-pitying about the whole thing, but losing a baby or child has got to be the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. So, time heals...Sheba is buried under her favorite tree, is doing so much better---although I just had a huge fight with the DH (and I don't mean DEAR!!!) as he came home and found Solly on the bed with me...he says the dog is banished from the bedroom. Jeez. Don't know what I am going to do about this one, just hope the anger wears off. I am going back on regular mail....I can't take the digest!!! I feel so out of the loop! Corky asked this question days ago and now she isn't hear...my prayers are with her and her son. Joya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
