Tully's not doing well

Chris · Jul 21, 2020

Caro, I'm with you in spirit. Our Shelties have connected us for so many years -- Tully is fighting so hard, but like Layla, age is catching up. I wish they would be bounding fools forever!

Just caught up with this thread. I was so hoping to hear she had turned a corner. Praying for healing.

Oh Caro, I'm so sorry Tully is still not improving. I hope you're able to get to the bottom of it, the not knowing what to do is so hard :hugs

Was hoping to hear she's improved. I hope you connect with the specialist soon. Poor Tully is fighting a battle on many fronts. We had this with Ally, who had chronic pancreatitis and then kidney failure. The foods needed to treat those two conditions were the complete opposite. I'm so sorry your special girl is ailing.

Cerenia is a wonderful drug! Laddie had Pancreases and it helped tremendously. I wonder too if you can administer fluids at home. They just seem to do so much better psychological when at home.

Well Tully got up with the rest of us this morning, toileted and then told the puppy off. So definitely better this morning than yesterday. And puppy does need telling off in the morning as she goes wild. Lots of feet licking and I'm not sure if it's soothing pain or her grass allergy has flared up, which it shouldn't because she's on Pred. Not sure if it's ok to use an antihistamine with all the other stuff she's on.

I know, our dear sweet therapy girls who give so much love to everyone else.

Feeding is so hard - severe enteropathy (IBD), ulcers, chronic pancreatitis, infected gallbladder, GBM. Not to forget the arthritis and false hip! After finding out what the culprit was in the food I had really hoped she would turn a corner. But 18mths on a food she was allergic to has really taken a toll. Cooked a weeks worth of food for her last night, fish and vegetables but dang it smelled yum.

I am so relieved to hear she is up and about!
Love does wonders...

That's good news that she's up and about Caro. Fingers crossed that it continues and she can get her gallbladder out.

Good to see she's moving around Caro and still has the energy to keep the pup under control haha
