Tessa the Duchess Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 This morning my dog Sasha who is now 17 wobbled across the kitchen floor and then collapsed in a heap and wet herself Got an immediate appt with the vet who diagnosed a stroke she has been prescribed heart tablets and has to go back in a week to see how she is. I am aware that her days are numbered due to her age, but fingers crossed she lasts a bit longer. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebird Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sorry to hear about Sasha. As long as she is comfortable and pain free that is the main thing. I know how hard it is to let go of a faithful friend. Thinking of you both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Sorry to hear that Tessa ... it's awful when an older pet starts to fail. Hope there's some good news ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 So sorry to hear about Sasha, it must be a really worrying time for you. What a fantastic age she is though, she has obviously had a great life with you and hopefully it will continue a while longer. Its two years today since my darling Sally had to be put to sleep and she was about 15, we all think of her all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Aaaw thanks guys, you are all so sweet and caring. Sasha seems back to normal for now, because she sleeps so much it's difficult to tell how she really is, but she is eating well, pooing and weeing normally, so I will see what the vet says when I take her back next week. I really hope she doesn't need to stay on these heart tablets indefinitely because they cost a small fortune to buy and money is very tight right now, but if necessary I will have to give up the Chardonnay Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 no dont give up the Chardonnay!! we'll have to set up a Sasha fund if that happens I am glad she is doing ok today, you know I have been through this with my late Poppy and I have really been thinking of you since I read the first post.

Tessa the Duchess Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The news on Sasha is not very good I'm afraid. She has been collapsing on a more or less daily basis, the vet thinks she has a heart problem, but it is really an old age problem, bless her. She collapsed earlier this evening and then recovered. She then went out into the garden for a wee and I found her collapsed out there which really freaked me out as the temp is so low, her breathing is very laboured which is worrying, I gave her some Rescue Remedy and she is asleep now. Tomorrow she is back to the vet, I am fearing the worst. Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Oh Tessa ((hugs)). I'm so sorry that Sasha isn't improving. I hope you can get some reassurance from the vet tomorrow - if it is her heart can they give her anything to treat it? I'll keep everything crossed for her tomorrow . Let us know how you get on.

Tessa the Duchess Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Sasha's gone She had a very peaceful end, and a lovely vet. Peaceful for her, totally harrowing for me. Neither DH nor I could drive home from the vets due to tears, so we had a group sob and hug in the van until we composed ourselves. The house feels weird without her.

xChicken04x Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm so sorry Tessa, it breaks my heart to think about what you are going through. Sasha will be at peace now. Lots of love to you and your husband. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
