Lucy needs your positive thoughts

Lucy ended up having a cystoscopy yesterday because of on going incontinence and they found the unexpected. They had to biopsy three areas of her bladder that looked very suspicious. She also has extensive bladder wall thickening.

We won't have the pathology report back until Monday or Tuesday, so we are very concerned.

She is home now, but is on a lot of pain meds to keep her as comfortable as possible for now. She is way to young to have this happening to her. She is only 18 months old as of next week.

I feel guilty asking for more prayers and positive thoughts, but all of you have been so supportive over the past couple of years that I am asking for them again.

Thanks,

Linda

    Linda, I am sorry as well to hear about Lucy. You're both in my prayers. It's very hard to find out things like this about our beloved pets, isn't it? I appreciated so much your support for me during my ordeal with Luna, and you have mine. I'm keeping you both in my thoughts and beaming as much positive energy as I can...

    Linda, I'm really sorry to hear that Lucy is having problems. You are right, at 18 months you just don't expect this to be happening. My prayers go out to bot you and Lucy. Hang in there.

    Thanks everyone. Lucy just had a rotten night last night and today hasn't been any better until now. She is finally sleeping and snoring. She stopped eating and drinking yesterday, so she had to go in this AM and have fluids. She finally ate some carrots this evening, but still isn't drinking. I am giving her water through a syringe every hour or so. They weighed her this AM and we were all shocked to see that she has lost almost 3 pounds since the end of Feb. I am hoping that a good nights rest will help.

    Thanks again,
    Linda

    Oh, Linda. Little Lucy should not have to go through this at such a tender age.

    Mojo and Chessa are sending big, wet puppy kisses to their GW fur-sister. We all hope she comes through this like the little trooper that she is!

    Poor baby! I thank you from my doggie soft heart for taking care of her; too many people wouldn't. I hope you get Juicy Lucy kisses real soon.

    Lucy finally decided to eat and drink a little today. It really seemed to perk her up some. She still jumps straight up 3 feet into the air when she potties though, so we are keeping her on the pain meds. We know all too well that you have to laugh when you can and watching her potty is sad and hilarious at the same time. The pain from the procedure should getting better soon. We are still waiting on the biopsy results. Hopefully they will come in today yet.

    Thanks again for all the support.

    We finally got the biopsy results today and they were inconclusive. We are waiting on a few more tests results, then will have to make the decision to repeat the biopsy.

    The good news is that Lucy is drinking normally and she doesn't jump straight up into the air when she potties anymore. She still has to be coaxed to eat, but that is probably due to the antibiotics.
    Thanks again,
    Linda
