Get well Chester!! 

Colleen

OK Mel, I'll let the admin know. I have a feeling the developers aren't to sure how to fix the issues here.

consider my prayers as well ...

I want to thank you all for your concern and your prayers. Chester was diagnosed April 2010 with Renal failure. I started cokking his food and added lots of Vitamins. This past June he stopped eating and was at the Vets for almost three days to flush out his kidneys. He started eating again, until last October, he only ate very little. He had some very bad teeth, that needed to be pulled and the Vet told me, that there was a chance, that he might not make it through. But he did and is still eating very little. Yesterday the Vet gave him some fluids under his skin and I am going to do it at home today and the next 3 days to flush out his kidneys again. I hope and pray that this will help him.Its so hard to see him waste away. I have been praying to God not to let him suffer. I went to another Vet closer by, because I feel that Chesters primary Vet missed the signs if Kidney falure, and treated him for arthritis instead. I feel that he had a chance to get well, if only they had been more concerned about his signs of drinking too much water and peeing large puddles of water. I am writing this with a very heavy heart and I am devastated. Please say one more prayer. I have been praying ever since for my baby. I wont be visiting this site for a while, but will let you know how he is doing after I give him the fluids.Thank you and God bless you all

Mel and everyone thanks for all your prayers. As it was discovered yesterday, Chester has an enlarged heart and therefore has fluid in his lungs. He is still on his fluid  theraphy and I have to follow him around to get him to eat something. He is on lasix and Enalapril. His kidney Values are down and he is not vomiting anymore.He is not out of the woods yet. Chester is exhausted along with myself.  It has to be your prayers and concern that Chester has come this far. God bless you all. You have made a great difference in mine and Chesters Life. Lots of love to all, Ann

youre more than welcome,i just wish i could give practical help x

When my animals are sick I do everything I can for them, as I know you do, Ann. And I give them lots and lots of love as you do. But I also tell them that they can go if they need to. That there is no reason for them to suffer just to hang on for me. This is very hard to do, but it allows your furry friend to go in peace if he needs to. My heart goes out to you - I know from experince how hard this is for you. Bright blessings and hugs for you both.

I'm off to pray right now. (*~*).

Just a short update on chester. Took him to the Vet yesterday and they gave him anti nausea meds. He also had blood in his stool and he got a flocillin shot. After I brought him home , about 2hrs later, he started hyperventillating. I was up all night with him and was afraid he would not make it. So I slept an hour here and there all day today. He is better, but still not eating much..Mel, and everone thanks for your prayers . I am rumbling on, because I am still in denial about how serious Chesters illness is, I am still hoping and praying for a miracle. Thank you and God bless you all.

I am moved to tears for all your prayers and concern. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hydrated Chester yesterday and he ate about 4 tablespoons of food. His kidney Values(BUN) are off the chart. He is also anemic and I give him vitamins for that. He still goes to the bathroom outside. I am glad I went to this Vet. They are the most caring people and doing everything to make him feel better. Will give him his Fluid shortly. I am sorry I wont be on here much, I want to spend all my time with chester and I dont know how much time he has. Love to you all and thank you so much for caring. God bless you all, Ann
